Disableing the ship's shields with ease, the Mobquet Gunship layed defenseless before its opponents. The ship was technically still capable of attacking its opponents, but probably knew better, given the more previous transmission made by its Jedi commander. Like the regular MB-C1 the old docking port of the Mobquet was available for one star fighter to dock, despite the inner layout of the ship being a mixture out of the GR-75 and the base ship with which it was mixed. The bridge was located at the backside of the vessel, where normally the bridge of the GR-75 would be.

With the ships shields down, Vakim ordered a scan of the ship to find a docking port. None could be found except a single spot for a starfighter. Giving off a growl, he stood to his feet, knowing what needed to be done. Phoenix One. Dock with the Fireblaze. I will be needing your starfighter in order to dock with the pirate vessel.
Receiving confirmation, Vakim made his way from the bridge towards the docking port. The leader of Phoenix Squadron had already exited his craft and stood at attention as Vakim nodded and passed. Taking a deep breath, the Chistori entered the starfighter and broke away and made his approach. Finding the docking port, Vakim navigated the X-83 into position. Gripping his lightsaber, he disembarked, not sure what he would walk into but expected them to fight back. Those who were waiting would be greeted by the 2.2 meter tall orange and armored lizard man.

Stepping inside the vessel, Vakim would realize that most ship sections were abbandoned, alongside them the gunner station. The first pirates he met, were two Weequay, who desperately tried to fix the engines, yet stopped when getting approached by the intimidating lizard person in front of them, their weapons already dropped. Both of them had probably heard enough tales of the Jedi to be frightened, but given Vakim's appearence there was no way, that they would prefer a fight with this beast.
"Please, have mercy!", one of the two pleaded, "Ca-captain Ozrak told us to do so! He... he's at the bridge with the rest of the men!
H-he said one of you would come and try to negotiate..."
The man himself was struck by fear completely, as he could already imagine the lightsaber igniting just to cut him in half like a rotten bantha.

Vakim moved down the vacant halls with caution. None had been there to attack him or surrender. There was no telling what awaited him around every corner. It wasn't long before he found a couple of men worjing on getting the engines back up. He stood over them imposingly. A part of him enjoyed seeing others nearly crap themselves in his presence.
Taming the darker thoughts, his eyes focused in hard, his voice gruff and serious. "Then continue. Once they are ready, report to the bridge. If I have to come find you, it won't be pretty."
His warning given, he moved on to the bridge, ignoring any he passed except for the slight twitching his saber hilt in his hand. Reaching the bridge, he glanced around his sharp green eyes for this man, Captain Ozrak.

As Vakim entered the bridge, there were six additional people, two more Weequays, two Twi'leks and a Devaronian. It was the later with his slim build and his dark coat, who seemed to be the least impressed by the Jedi, therefore the leader for sure. Showing his teeth, he simply laughed while throwing his blaster weapon on the ground, when seeing the lightsaber hilt in the hands of the Chistori.
"You think I'll continiue a fight with my crew when being surrounded by your pretty ships, Jedi?", he laughed, more than unimpressed, "How many of you are there even? You're the only one or were you just sent by your commander to take both me and my crew as prisoners?"
Vakim could sense that Captain Ozrak was nervous, yet acted strong in order to not lose his face in front of his crew. Probably a man, who knew that they would all die, if they said the wrong words, given that there were a lot of stories and legends about the Jedi, when it came to their confrontation with pirates - most of them ending not too well for the pirates themselves.

As the Devaronian spoke, Vakim made his way over him, his large feet giving off heavy thuds as he walked. It was when his piece was said that the Chistori stopped, now directly in front and looming over him. "You speak quite confidently for such a small thing. Tell me, do you fear death?"
The Jedi spoke with a darker tone then waited for moment before leaning over, his free hand reaching up to point a clawed digit at Ozrak. "I'm all the Jedi needed for this task. And despite what you know of them, I don't have any qualms with snuffing out the light of those like you. In fact, I enjoy it. So give me a reason to. I beg you."
Standing tall he moved towards the center of the bridge a spoke out in a loud voice, one amplified by the Force to ensure it was heard and to make it more intimidating. "You all are under arrest for piracy. Once the engines are repairec, this ship will make its way to Mirial where you will land and taken into custody. Resist and you will be put down like the dogs you are. Questions?"

Although Ozrak tried to remain calm about the situation, even the pirate captain himself was quite nervous about the whole situation and thus remained for the moment quiet, only speaking up when being directly asked by the Jedi himself. His crew participated within the silent surrender, as they assumed that this Jedi meant probably what he said.
It would take some time before the engines were functional again, allowing the Mobquet to activate its hyperdrive again.
While being watched by Vakim, Captain Ozrak would wait for the orders of the Chistori before setting up the coordinates for the chosen route to Mirial. Assuming that the ships of the Jedi would accompany them, the Devaronian would also take his time in order to ensure that his captors could follow up in close distance as the threats of the Jedi still plagued his head.

Ozrak's silence was enough of a sign that he wouldn't be a problem. He wasn't a Sith, but he could feel the fear radiated from the captain. With no questions, he pulled out his comlink with his free hand. Captain, have the other ships take up positions around the pirates and prepare for the escort back to Mirial. Once the engine are back online, I will give the countdown for the jump to hyperspace.
It wasn't long before the other ships could be seen closing in around the pirate vessel. Once they were in place, Vakim turned back to the captain. "So, captain, while we wait for the engines to come back online, perhaps you can indulge me about your crew and who you work for?"

The Devaronian solely laughed before he looked around, shaking his head.
"My crew? They're fine men!", he said solely, as he oversaw them perform as they were told by the Jedi, "As for whom I work... I guess you'll torture me, if I won't tell you?"
It was a curious question, as the pirate seemed to test how far he could go as a theoretical prisoner.

The Jedi cocked his head to the side in slight amusement. "I could, but then again, why take that fun from those you've been stealing from? I'm sure they'll have a mountain of questions for you and a thousand different ways to try and make you talk. No doubt they are hoping you resist. Makes it much more enjoyable for them. If it were up to me, I'd just kill everyone here and call it a day. Maybe next time I'll find more if your friends and have this same conversation." He shrugged then as he crossed his arms. "So the choice to speak is up to you. Choose wisely."
The voice of the Jedi spoke in its taunting nature as Vakim sought out what else he could do to make the man squirm.

Ozrak glared at the Chistori for a while before he eventually gave up, having already realized that that there was no use to lie.
"Well, we're just pirates who have a good employee", he simply answered with a smile, "Hyperlanes these days are quite rough, when considering the ammount of guardships. On the western galaxy everything full with Imperials, while you're lucky if you can escape them, ships on the South either encountered clankers or even worse stuff. These days one ship alone is likely to just die off pointless. So its not surprising that we work for a Syndicate and thus for the Hutts."
He made a brief pause.
"You actually offered us right, what she currently wants", he then continiued, sounding slightly impressed, "The Action IVs are nice interceptors, the Mobquets are solid for a gunship as you can probably see. Guess these freigther crews were lucky, that the boss only wants the ships and not necessarily the slaves. Kinda wonder if she grows soft nowadays due to her own past, now that she runs the Syndicate..."

Vakim scoffed a bit at how fast the captain's mind changed at the thought of the torture he'd ensure if he remained quiet. "Well, I'm sure those who will be watching you will be disappointed you talked so fast. Still, it doesn't save you from a long incarceration period. No doubt this ship will be stripped, understood, and utilized by its new owners. So, I guess we should thank you for the gift."
The Jedi didn't push for more knowledge. What he had gained was enough, enough to know things would become more complicated. To consider it a syndicate already implied a small faction that was troublesome enough, but to also know they were employed by the Hutts was even more problematic. He could only hope that his arrival would make them think twice about returning here. Still, he expected that he'd cross paths with them again someday.
Moving over to another crew member, he ordered them to open the comms to those working on the engines. How much longer will you boys be? Do I need to come down there and motivate you further?

::We... we're doing our b-best, Jedi!::
The panic within the voice of the crew members could clearly be heard, as the two pirates in question hurried up with their attempts. Although they would manage to easily fix the Class 11 backup hyperdrive, it took them some more time to fix the main engines.
"Guess you should have been more careful with what you were shooting", the Devaronian remarked solely, "Although... nevermind! Otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy your companion."
The rest of Ozrak's crew remained so far silent, leaving it up to their captain to deal with the Jedi, while they would manage to fix the damages, caused upon the modified ship.

Vakim chuckled a bit as the workers responded. He knew full well the effects an ion cannon had on the systems of a ship, especially when fired on until all was quiet. It was still amusing. If need be, he could always call in for one of the transport ships that had a tractor beam to tow them onward until the engines were repairs but chose not to.
He then turned his head towards Ozrak. He was getting quite chatty and no doubt with each passing moment, losing his fear of the Jedi. "And what, risk you limping off to join your friends? I think I like this option better myself. But if you do get tired of my company, please do tell me. It'll still be an easy task to scatter this ship and everyone inside into pieces across the vastness of the void. Doubtful anyone would miss any of y'all." He then walked up to the captain once more. "Or I can just use you as my scratching post, as it were. Make a little example out of you? Considering the situation you are, you most certainly growing a pair. Perhaps I should remove them for you? Not like you'll need them where you are going."

 Rothana. Home to Rothana Heavy Engineering, was conquered by the Blackguard Reborn two weeks after the Invasion of Kamino had concluded. Formerly a supplier for the Grand Army of the Republic, Rothana took the business venture the Blackguard offered with no complaints. Going full bore with production, Rothana Heavy Engineering produces the majority of the Blackguard's ground vehicles, giving the dark side faction major discounts on large purchases, all while maintaining healthy trade relations with the rest of the galaxy as well. With the construction and creation of The Oasis, a high society, neutral territory space station, Rothana Heavy Engineering was able to set up offices there to cater to the rest of the galaxy, though hefty taxes are placed on anything being sold to the First Order... |

The Spectral Prowler made its way through space, the Tempest-class Stealth Transport carried on gracefully and carefree. The mission of the crew was to explore worlds from time to time and see if there was anything of value the Organization could use. However, it was but a secondary mission, it's primary being the constant surveillance of different worlds and rendering aid to those in need, especially those caught in the middle of a war between different groups. Many days, this mission led the crew into action. Others, the ship flew around seemingly aimless. And then came moments where she was docked in different ports as they checked out the many different worlds the galaxy had to offer.
Within her chambers below the bridge, Kia sat upon the floor, her eyes shut as she meditated, the twinkling of stars creating a beautiful backdrop behind her. She was aware that not every disturbance would be found on the many comm channels that fluttered around in space. It was one of the many reasons she had come to value her abilities in the Force instead of hating them. Her highly sensitive feelings could pick up even the slightest fluctuations. This gave her an advantage over the use of electronics alone.
It was here that her eyes opened, her senses picking up something off. She sat there, still as could be as her eyes moved about the room, her mind processing what she felt. Another few moments passed by before she stood to her feet and moved to the ship's communication system. Activating a command, she zeroed in on the commlink of a specific member of the crew, one that focused their attention on communications. Makayl, has there been anything on channels?
Only a moment passed by before the smooth voice of another echoed in the room.
No, there hasn't been anything as of late.
There were a few moments of silence before Kia spoke again. Could you do another check? I have a feeling that something isn't right.
There was a moment of silence of Makayl's end, only the faintest flow of breathing being able to be heard. Kia knew that even after the time the crew had spent together, the Zeltron didn't care much for Kia's use of the Force, even though she was typically spot on when something came up. Still, the woman finally responded
Sure. Give me just a second. A few minutes passed in silence as Kia waited for a response. I just ran my check. There is still nothing on the scanners. Wait.. Kia's head picked up when the final word came through the speaker. SOmething just came through. It's an emergency distress signal. No message, but we do have the coordinates. It seems to be coming from a village on Ryloth.
Kia stood to her feet as Makayl confirmed the feeling she had. Ryloth was their destination, but the question was what would they be facing when they got there? It really didn't matter. The ship wasn't combat capable, to which she always cursed, yet it did have a cloaking device. It always allowed them to sneak in and survey a situation and determine the problem before acting.
Taking a breath, she knew their path, just as they all did. Alright, I'm on my way up. Have Kel plot a course for Ryloth and be ready to engage the cloaking device upon arrival. Alert the crew to be ready. Receiving the confirmation from Makayl, Kia moved to her weapon's locker to prep herself as she watched the ship suddenly launch itself into hyperspace.

Exiting hyperspace, the trio of slaver ships continued onward through the depths of space. Some could have wondered why they exited here, but the answer would have soon been revealed after a few minutes of flying. Growing in size before them, they made their approach to a XQ2 Platform. Having taken it over years ago, the slaver team turned it into their base of operations. It was out in the middle of nowhere and was extremely difficult to find without the proper coordinates. Much better than staying planet-side.
Being out in deep space also allowed for better defense as not only where there a few ships docked, such as another Kiltirin-class Dungeon Ship, but patrolling the area were a couple of CR92a Assassin-class Corvettes, four Dimel-class Assault Ships, and a single Liberator-class Cruiser. There were also three squads of fighters accompanying them that came from the station, two squads being Cutlass-9 Patrol Fighters and a single squad of Aurek-Class Tactical Strikefighters.
Inputting the clearance codes, the trio pushed forward towards the station to unload their gather stock. Upon docking, the slavers led the Twi'lek towards the larger cargo areas that had been repurposed into prison cells for holding everyone. Already were they quite a few people already inside, a bunch made up of different races. If one were to count, there was nearly 500 prisoners ready for sale.

As the Spectral Prowler made its way through hyperspace, the signal on the tracking device stop. They were close now. Taking a breath, Kia looked over to Kel. "Bring her out of hyperspace and activate the cloaking device." There was no acknowledgement, though there wasn't any need. Her crew knew their jobs and the importance of tasks like these.
As the realm of hyperspace dissapeared, Kel turned the ship towards the coordinates the beacon was trasmitting. Already had Kel activated the cloak and it was a good thing as they began tocome into view of the space station. Kia looked around as she began running scans on the ships she saw and the station itself. They were certainly well equipped and fortified. It would take a surprise attack from Captain Velmor to do enough damage to make this an easy fight. Luckily, they had the element of surprise on their side with percise coordinates for the fleet to arrive at.
Looking around, she noticed one of the hangars. "Take us in and set her down in that hangar over there. I'll move around inside and see what I can do." With a nod, Kel pushed forward as Kia transmitted the information to the Captain. Once everything had been sent, she headed down to the cargo bay. Entering the armory, she grabbed hold of a stealth field generator and strapped it to her belt as well as a pack of detenators she could use to stir up trouble.
As they landed, Kia motioned for her team to be ready as she gave them orders. They were to infiltrate the main systems of the station to better aid the Captain and the escape of the slaves. If they had the oppertunity to eradicate slavers without drawing thier attention, they were to do so. She would focus on finding the slaves.
Opening the large cargo door just a little, KIa peered out into the hangar. For the moment, it seemed empty with only their ship inside. That was good. It would allow the freighters she requested to enter easily enough. With their paths clear, the trio jumped from the ship and actived their generators, rendering them all nearly invisible. From there, they split up to cover their assigned tasks.

Things seemed to be going smoothly as Kia's team made their way through the station. Suya and Naeth focused their attention on setting up detonators in the communications room, camera room, and the systems governing shielding and weapon controls. They may not have been able to take down the whole slaver fleet from the inside, but they could help get a leg up for Captain Velmor when he arrived. Occasionally they came across a few guards, though they only took down those they could without creating a scene and could easily hide. It would be enough, that much they knew. Once they had placed everything, including a few random places to further create chaos, such as living quarters, the cafeteria, and random points on the walls that lead into space, they returned to the ship and awaited Kia's return,
Kia worked her way down the halls, using the Force to hone in on the gathering of life from those that had been gathered as slavers. If sensing the life others through the Force was displayed as a light, that particular section would be glowing intensely. As she went, she set a few detonators herself and eliminated a few guards to help clear her path. Slowly, but surely, found them.
Reaching the area, she contacted her team. Set off one of the charges furthest from my position. We need to draw the slavers away to give me a clear path. It wasn't long before the ship shook with the first explosion. It was then she deactivated her cloak and broke the lock barring the cells. She then had everyone stay quiet and had everyone followed. There was a bit of hesitance at first, but eventually, they came upon further convincing.
As they went, Kia contacted Velmor. Captain, this is Amarok. Bring in the fleet. Target the ships. We are bringing a bit of chaos down within the station. Activating my tracking beacon for the freighters.
Understood. Bringing the fleet in now.

The fleet arrived and began picking targets with the ships patrolling the area, their attention focusing heavily on the Liberator. Though it was powerful, the surprise attack as well as the multiple elctromagnetic plasma cannons made it fall fast. The other ships followed suit as the fleet unleashed devestating attacks.
The distraction within the station allowed Kia all the time she needed to get the slaves to the hangar without issue. Activating her beacon, it wasn't long before an Athabasca moved into position. Getting the slaves onboard, Kia made her way up the ramp of her Tempst as the freighter pulled away. Just as they, themselves moved away, Kia signaled to Captain Velmor to unload everything upon the station.
As the ships cleared the station, the fleet unloaded everything they had upon it, the, station eventually going up in a brilkant explosion. With the task done, the fleet returned to their patrol, Kia and her team their task, and the freighter bk to Ryloth.
