Concord Dawn's Open Orbit

Venator-class Star Destroyer, the Victores - Bridge

Fionnuala nods when Dice explains his plan, moving to the sensor officer's console when tasked with determining Vhett's location in Jai'galaar. Tracing the precise point of origin of Galaar's transmission is simple enough, and once she has it Fionnuala moves to the bridge's holographic tactical display to bring up a map of the heavily fortified military base nestled between a pair of towering mountains.

Pointing to the base's landing fields, located south of the base's main entrance, Fionnuala says, We can have some of out troops drop from the Larties once we're over the eastern side of the base where the assault seems to be focused based on what our long range sensors are picking up, and then set down here and move out to the base's ops center, where Vhett's signal came from. That is where he is most likely to be found, Fionnuala says, adding, assuming he hasn't gone to lead the counter offensive from the front, since just like in any ongoing action, things are bound to change quickly.

"Order passed, captain."

"Thank you, navigator."
Mako grinned, as he prepared to relay good news to Dice. "One more thing, captain. Acklay's back - with a small Jedi flotilla in tow. Apparently, the mission was a success."

"One step closer to rebuilding our home, then. Let's hope the Jedi are as we remember them."

The line cut, and Mako looked with baited breath at the holographic representation of the battlefield below. Other screens filled with information and read-outs only informed him of the worsening situation groundside. An aurebesh timer ticked down steadily above the battlefield, as the ship rotated to help its heavy turbolasers line up with the ground targets below. One minute and fifteen seconds, one minute and fourteen seconds...

"Navigator Mako! There's another new signature on scanners!" CIC Watch Officer Quickfix announced. "Independent trade ship!"
"Transmission detected," Cushnip followed up.
"Patch it through, Mako ordered."

After the hole-ridden signal concluded, Quickfix asked, "Your orders, Mako?"

The navigator considered this for a moment, before jumping into action. "Cushnip, give me live-comms. I'm going to send them an order." After a second of station work, Cushnip gave Mako a thumbs-up. He was live. 

"This is Acting Captain Mako of the starship Victores, currently operating in defense of Concord Dawn. You must stop your vessel now, or you will be fired upon. Prepare to be boarded, we'll check your power core."
Mako motioned to Cushnip to cut the line. Quickfix walked towards Mako. "Shall I begin preparing a boarding and engineering team, Mako?"
"No, not yet," the navigator replied. "Why, in all the stars, would an independent trade ship, carrying farming supplies and food, come to Concord Dawn now?"
"I don't know," Quickfix admitted. "Even warriors have to eat."
"Then tell me this - what violent, militant force is operating in this region, with a vested interest to starve out the Mandalorians? Even if that ship isn't crawling with techno-beasts, it's going to block traffic. That's the sign of a siege. The fact that ship is here, damaged and flying into traffic, either means they're sieging hyperlanes or they're coming here, in force."

Quickfix shuttered. "Durk," he cursed. "Raising our flotilla to combat alert alpha. Are we sending anyone to check out that ship?"
"Dispatch a LAAT, two troopers, one Bralor warrior, and one ship engineer. Equip the troopers with a flamethrower and a net-launcher. We're gonna have to find an arms manufacturer to produce more of those for us soon...have the LAAT be escorted by twelve V-Wings, and dispatch one of our Krayt gunships, just in case the shipping vessel needs to be quickly destroyed. Let's hold our Jedi support for ground deployment, and have them deploy after the orbital bombardment's finished."
"Understood, navigator," Quickfix said.
