Rebecca closed the comm channel as she finished her conversation with Zion, stepping back from the holo display briefly to catch her breath and calm down. She then turned to the Captain of the Rebecca's Whip after a couple seconds, ready to make the final trip to see Zion
"Captain, send a fleet wide comm, all ships are to make the jump to the edge of the Honoghr system. I will be proceeding to Honoghr itself on the GCBASS" Rebecca
"Understood ma'am!" Captain of the Rebecca's Whip
The captain then opened a comm channel to the Chiss Combat Cruiser and 2 Chiss Assault Cruisers
All ships are to jump to the edge of the Honoghr system on my mark Captain of the Rebecca's Whip
Rebecca then turned and nodded to Colonel Dawn to follow as she lead the way off the bridge and through the ship and into the hangar bay where the GCBASS was currently docked with the Whip. The Dísz?rség arrived to the hangar a couple minutes later and followed Rebecca up onto the GCBASS before most of them went to the quarters set aside for them onboard, while 4 of them followed Rebecca to the bridge of the GCBASS. Rebecca approached Captain Zeus and stopped a couple feet from him
"Captain, we are going to Honoghr" Rebecca
Colonel Dawn followed Rebecca as she lead the way through the Whip to the hangar bay where the GCBASS was docked. He went on ahead to the bridge of the ship while she waited for her personal guards to arrive. He was waiting on the bridge with Captain Zeus when Rebecca arrived a couple minutes later and gave him his orders
=Captain Zeus=
As you wish. All hands to stations and prepare to jump!
The crew of the GCBASS started moving about and entering commands and preparing for the jump. The ship's boarding ramp was raised before the repulsors lifted it off the ground and the ship retracted it's landing gear, before it slowly moved out of the hangar bay and into space around Ilum. The engines of the GCBASS then hummed as they warmed up before moving the ship free of the planet's gravity well and made the jump to hyperspace, headed for Honoghr
The Acsiel II-class Star Destroyer, the Chiss Combat Cruiser and the 2 Chiss Assault Cruisers then moved free of Ilum's gravity well before they too made the jump to hyperspace, aiming for the edge of the Honoghr system

The Praclarius came out of hyperspace along with a Chiss Combat Cruiser and a Chiss Assault Cruiser. Several LAAT/i gunships dropped out of the hangar and proceeded to head for the surface, escorted by several Clawcraft and AerStrykers. On the bridge of the ship, Admiral Konstantine Kryze observed the proceedings.

Above the planet hovered the massive Chiss Star Destroyer Discovery. Aboard the ship, things were as usual, with people thoroughly inspecting the shipments of Kyber brought up from the surface of the planet, before packing the boxes into larger container modules that were then loaded aboard the Gozanti-Class Cruisers for shipment to Csilla. This was an important operation, the mining of the Kyber, and in typical Chiss fashion, it was executed with great efficiency and precision, with crates being inspected by 3 different officers, then loaded into the modules by droids, before the modules were inspected individually by 2 more officers before they were finally allowed to be loaded aboard the transports. All while the rest of the crew kept an eye out for anybody attempting to infiltrate or attack the ships.

The Star Destroyer continued on its patrol routes, making sure the shipments of kyber were undisturbed and going through at maximum efficiency.

Following her appointment by Emperor Nicademus Delvardus as Grand Moff of the First Order's outer borders, Grand Admiral Kasalle would enter the orbit of Ilum, which marked not solely a borderzone between the known galaxy and the Unknown Regions, but also was the source of kyber crystals - a material, not solely known by its usage for crafting lightsabers, but as well the power source for super weapons like the Death Stars. Knowing that this world would need most of her attention due to its strategic importance, Jenia came not solely aboard her own flagship, the Charybdis, but also brought with herselfher newly appointed Commodore Naya Thax aboard the Victory-II class Star Destroyer Banshee, two Vindicator class cruisers and one Maxima A class heavy cruiser. Having requested an I.P.O.F. to be transfered upon the surface of this nearly uninhabitated, icy planet, the Grand Admiral wished to meet up with the local imperial garrison. Although the Chiss had shown their presence upon the planet a long time ago, Jenia had read reports that the power struggle within their domain has once again shifted, making it thus less difficult to claim the surface on their own with the rest of the orbit under Imperial controll.
In order to ensure that there would be no further disturbance, patrols of singular TIE Signals would scout the surrounding systems, scanning the area in and around Ilum for intruding spacecraft.

Above orbit of Ilum, a lone Sigma-Class Shuttle came out of hyperspace, the stars casting their reflections across the large, black forward screen of the fighter. Painted red, and clearly emblazoned with the emblems of the Imperial Knights, the shuttle certainly looked as though it had seen better days - evidently, whoever had been using it had been away on a long assignment indeed. However, despite whatever minor damages had been dealt to it, the shuttle was still very clearly belonging to the Imperial Knights, raising all manner of questions as to why it was here, in the middle of the Unknown Regions, rather then on Coruscant, or even Muunilinst. However, a quick look over the paint scheme would also reveal something else - a strange sigil painted on the "neck" of the craft, and to those who were familiar with the Imperial Knights, the importance of this sigil would become clear almost immediately. There were few Knights who had their own personal seal, and this one was certainly more recognizable then most, given that the only other place it could be found was on the flagships of a certain Grand Admiral and Grand Moff, belonging to a certain sector, deep in Imperial Space. However, this man was not an Imperial Knight, though those with even an inkling of knowledge about the First Order would know the relationship between the two. Like father, like son.
Indeed, as the shuttle coasted forward, the pilot making a call to the ground in order for them to be cleared to land, and more importantly not be blasted out of the sky by the Star Destroyers circling the planet, a light ping would sound in the relatively well appointed cabin of the occupant of this craft, who would stand and walk to the front of the vessel, through the plush surroundings that were common aboard this kind of shuttle. Entering the cockpit of the vessel, a certain Lucien Needa would push the button to activate the door, stepping into the zone, the large, black cape that he wore alongside his suit of armor hanging behind his back. The pilots of the craft would continue looking forward, speaking with ground control, as Needa regarded the ball of ice he could see in front of him, out the very front of the craft, the icy colors reflecting off his eyes. He supposed that he might consider this... well, home, so to speak. While he had been away for quite a bit of time, there was a certain individual on planet who he wished to see. Not for any professional curiosity, but rather for the sake of a personal one. He had heard that she had been assigned the Grand Moffship of this particular over sector, and quite frankly, he had almost burst with pride when he had heard that piece of news upon his return. It was good to hear that things were going well for her. Still, though, he was curious as to how this reunion of sorts would go. Would things immediately be natural, the two of them rekindling the flame that had likely been smoldering, serving as a tantalizing memory of what they had missed while he had been away on his long assignment? Or would they have grown too distant over this period for whatever they had to continue? Whatever the case was, though, he did anxiously await his return to the planet, and as the pilots would guide the craft in to a steady approach, the thoughts were what filled his mind.

Time passed by before a transmission was sent by an imperial officer, that landing permission was granted and the vessel was verified.
Giving through the coordinates of the base, where Grand Moff Kasalle currently resided one of the Maxima-A-class cruisers would pass by alongside the several TIE fighter wings, which patrolled around it, before the shuttle would be able to make its way towards the surface.

The pilots of the craft would whisper to Lucien, who nodded before disappearing back into the main section of the cabin, presumably to fix up his appearance slightly from the long voyage. Rolling the craft onto its assigned path, the Sigma-Class Shuttle's pilots rotated her around, before bringing her into such a line as to make the descent as smooth as possible, the star behind them silhouetting the red craft against it, making it appear to almost simply be a shadow, descending at speed towards the planet. In the rear of the craft, true to form, Lucien was straightening out some bits of his appearance - he looked mostly fine, though a degree of care never hurt anyone. Particularly in a situation such as the one he was about to enter.

A squad of two TIE Harbingers would escort the shuttle towards the surface, where a landing platform was already prepared for the unknown guest. There, one of Jenia's Novatroopers would eventually await Lucien Needa in order to lead the Imperial knight to the Grand Moff herself.

Local TIME: 1341
Imperial standard time: 2241
*Orbital forces begin to shift to respond to the incoming data from ground command. TIE Fighters on ships in orbit, were scrambled to intercept the designated signals rising from Ilum's surface. *
The TIE crews were briefed en-route to intercept. The targets were designated S-1, S-2, and S-3. Orders were to disable the ships if possible, and destroy them if they attempted to hyperspace jump from the system. Securing any stolen Kyber ore was the priority.

Given the movements on the surface, Commodore Naya Thax recieved direct orders from the Grand Admiral herself to ensure that the vessels wouldn't escape, giving the permission for Banshee squadron to launch, if necessary. Aboard the Victory II-class Star Destroyer Banshee, Thax would allow the specialized TIE/vn to launch alongside a squadron of TIE/sf following afterwards. With a few TIE Signals already pursueing the unknown crafts, chances would be high to identify the smugglers quickly, while they were in planetary range.
Although Grand Admiral Kasalle was currently on the surface, Thax knew though that the Grand Admiral had always a trump card for cases like these ready, even in her absence. With the Maxima-A class cruiser Obscuritas already in orbit, several wings of TIE/fos and TIE/sfs would already flank the smuggler ships offensively in order to make them even more worried about their operation. Not solely are the First Order TIEs superior in terms of maneuverability towards their Imperial predecessors, but as well featured on most types hyperdrives. Even if they were about to reach the border of the planet's natural gravity well, which prevents them currently to jump to hyperdrive, the TIEs would hunt them down relentlessly, one system after another until they were shot down to the last men - especially the TIE/vn , a craft solely utilized by only expert pilots and force users with its stealth capabilities would in the end give them the rest.
Yet Thax knew herself, that the Grand Admiral disliked wasting unnecessary rescources and wouldn't let it come this far.
As the targets were chased by the TIE wings like cattle by a shepherd dog in order to force them into one position, they were eventually confronted by the sudden appearence of a Conservator-class Star Destroyer. The Grand Admiral's flagship, stationed in a nearby system has arrived.
Where there was before any hope that the targets could reach the outer border of the planet's orbit in order to escape to hyperspace, these hopes were crushed the very moment when the Grand Admiral's cold voice solely ordered the Charybdis to active its Gravity Well generators. The smuggler ships were now approached by additional First Order TIE wings in front of them, launching from the double-sided hangars of the Charybdis, while being surrounded by TIE's from behind, three types of Star Destroyers closing slowly in on them to pick them up with their tractor beams.
Thax grabbed the intercom, knowing that this charade was over before it even broke through the first layer of the Imperial defense layer around Ilum.
"This is Commodore Naya Thax, speaking on behalf of the First Order", she told the captains of the vessels calm as if this announcement was daily routine for her, "Lower down your shields and surrender, if you want to face the Emperor's mercy. Ignoring our warnings will result in severe consequences to either make you surrender or to eliminate you as enemies of the First Order. Choose wisely, for the Emperor's justice rewards those who kneel and regret, but purge those, who refuse it.
You have 30 seconds to decide your answer."
Telling the commander aboard the Charybdis and the Obscuritas on another channel to keep the Ion cannon crews prepared, the Commodore briefly waited for any response.

The Gopher-1, a YT-2400 frieghter, rose from the planet. The blizzard didn't really prevent them from flying straight up at max speed. It just meant that that they couldn't visually spot or follow each other, so their flight paths naturally diverged. The ships finally rose above the storm and their visibility increased as the blue atmosphere of the planet faded to the black of outer space.
Captain Silas sat in the pilot's seat of the Gopher-1, which was carrying 150 tons of Kyber crystal ore. The ship, fully loaded, was less quick and agile than it when it was empty.
Her ship was followed by Gopher-2, and the Hopper, both also YT-2400s, full of 150 tons of ore each.
"Whew, what a storm!" Snifter from the Gopher-2 spoke.
"I know, right guys!" Chestre from the Gopher-2 spoke.
"Yeah, tell me about it! Yung, Check our scopes." Chaser from the Hopper spoke.
"Crap!" Yung, from the Hopper spoke.
"Talk to me Yung! Whats crap?" Captain Silas spoke.
"Fighters closing. On our 3."
"Raise shields!" Captain Silas craned her neck to see if she could see anything. "Funk! Dudge! Get on the quads!" Funk and Dudge manned the quad laser turrets on the Gopher-1.
The ships raised their shields and powered up weapon systems. On Hopper, Chaser piloted, while Yung manned one turret. On Gopher-2, Chestre piloted while Snifter manned a turret. Gopher-2 and Hopper, were both one crew man short and could only bring one of their quad turrets to bear at a time.
"Take evasive maneuvers and scatter! We'll have a better chance if we divide them 3 ways! If we get away, we'll meet up at Nar Shadaa, You guys know the place."
The three ships went in three directions as the TIE fighters approached.
Gopher-2 turned around, angled its deflector shields to the front, and charged towards the fighters.
Gopher-1 tried to lead away as many fighters from the other two ships as possible. When the fighters came in, they herded the Gopher-1 back towards the others.
Then a Star Destroyer appeared out of no where.
Within moments, the Hopper attempted to jump to hyperspace. With gravometric safeties removed, the Hopper appeared to vanish and then suddenly re-appeared out of turbolaser range from the imperial ships as the Hyperdrive reacted to the Grav wells. The Hopper re-oriented itself to account for the grav wells, and then made a hyperspace jump. The trajectory indicated the ship headed for Adumar.
I'll take my chances!" Chestre on the Gopher-2 responded almost instantly and fired two hidden proton torpedo launchers at the location she believed the grav well projectors were housed on the star destroyer. "You want a fight? I'll give you one!" The Gopher-2 jettisoned 100 tons of external containers of Kyber crystal ore in the direction of the star destroyer, before breaking off the attack and firing on the crystals. The cargo containers began to glow as the unrefined crystal ore absorbed the energy and became unstable. The ship clearly intended to try to use the Kyber crystals to try to damage the star destroyer.
Captain Silas flew the Gopher-1 in a pattern and fled from the star destroyer. In doing so, she rammed a TIE fighter that attempted to box her in. The maneuver damaged her ship, and shorted out her shields. When she rammed a second TIE fighter, her engines flamed out and the Gopher-1 lost power.

Seeing that the ships tried to split off despite being surrounded by several wings of TIE fighters, Thax gave the swift command for the TIE pilots to intercept and the Ion cannons to open fire on the now fully identified YT-2400 freighters. The specifications were roughly familiar with her, given that these were utilized quite frequently by regular traders and also often by smugglers. In the end their loadout was more problematic than the freighters themselves, as kyber crystals tended to be quite harmful if they were destabilized. Nothing to necessarily threaten the Charybdis, but still harmful towards the TIEs, who caught up with the freighters.
As the Gopher-2 decided to make its intentions clearly by dropping it's cargo, the Charybdis fired it's broadside of Ion cannons to disable their opponent's shield. As the frontal TIE Wings closed in, the YT-2400 freighter was suddenly hit by a salve of turbolasers from behind, where on the radar seemingly no enemy vessel was in range. Yet that was to change, when the pilot realized that twelve TIE Silencers, also known as TIE/vn, were behind him, taking their shots at the engine. The elite squadron has reached the firing position near the freighter, dodging the emitted kybercrystal containers with ease.
Hitting their target with Mag-pulse warheads, the weapon systems of the Gopher-2 failed, thwarting the pilot's plan to detonate the kybercrystals in front of it. A well-aimed Ion cannon shot disabled the rest of the vessel, before the Charybdis would pull in closer once it was also confirmed that the Gopher-1 was found disabled as well.
Being so far careful with gathering up the remainders of the chase, the Imperials would proceed to arrest the smugglers and secure the stolen kybercrystals from their starships. Although two TIE fighters were damaged due to their risky maneuvers, the pilots were returned safely towards the hangars, leaving no actual casualties on both sides. Briefing the situation, Commodore Thax was so far pleased how the operation had turned out, if it wasn't for a minor detail, which bothered her.
To the surprise of the Commodore one ship was actually able to escape the narrow time perimeter before the gravity well generator trapped the rest of the enemy shuttles in orbit. It seemed like the efficiency of the Charybdis crew had to improve, given that the Grand Admiral's firm belief into the strategies of former Grand Admirals to secure Imperial sectors and the Navy's dominant position demanded perfection and if necessary the correction of mistakes. However Thax noted that the maneuver was nontheless successful in the end and that even with perfect calculations the Charybdis would have achieved a result similiar to the current one.
Furthermore she knew that the Grand Admiral was unlike Thrawn, from what was reported of his command, kinder, when it came to the failure of her subordinates. The commanding officer aboard the Charybdis and the crew would certainly have to report where they have made a mistake within the calculations within a maneuver, that was trained over the last weeks with a ship, that even rivaled the capabilities of the Pellaeon-Class Star Destroyer, but they wouldn't recieve major punishment.
With the hunt over Ilum being concluded, a signal was sent to Commodore Thorne and the orbital forces around Adumar to follow after the escaping ship, which was already traced by TIE Signals in surrounding systems most likely. It would now be for Grand Admiral Kasalle to decide the fate of those being captured, given that she had already announced to personally leave the surface in order to inspect the scene.
The rest was now in the hands of the secondary defense parameters.

The Gopher-1 was dead in space. Life support was out. Artificial gravity was out. Auxiliary power was not responding. She couldn't hear it, but Funk and Dudge, the Gormarrean brothers, were probably freaking out about floating around in the ship.
>>>>>>
On the Gopher-2
Chestre was previously an escaped prisoner. She had a record. She had a kill-on-sight order issued for her. One of the reasons she always flew with Snifter, was because he was the same as her. They escaped from the same camp with a suicide pact. There would be no mercy from the First Order, therefore, they both knew there could be no surrender.
As soon as her ship was caught in a tractor beam, Snifter went to work disabling the safeties on the 6 remaining proton torpedoes they had not yet fired. He was careful not to power on any of the torpedo electronics, to prevent the imperials from getting a reading on the proton cores. He manually armed the proton cores.
Chestre started stacking several frag and ion grenades in the 50 tons of Kyber crystals in the Gopher-2's internal cargo bays. The plan was to use a thermal detonator, which would set off the manually armed proton torpedoes. As Chestre and Snifter worked, they felt their ship rock as it was slowly pulled by a tractor beam. Soon they felt the Gopher-2 stop and come to rest in the hanger of the star destroyer. They finished their work and embraced one last time.
FO stormtroopers began using plasma torches to start cutting through the ship so they could storm it.
"It has been wonderful knowing you, Snifter." She had tears in her eyes.
"I'll never say enough how grateful I have been for your companionship Chestre." He hated seeing her cry.
"I'll see you on the other side."
"Force willing."
"Y-yes. Force willing!"
They kissed, and Chestre put her thumb on the deadman switch of the Thermal Detonator in her hand. Snifter put his hand on hers and they held it together.
The stormtroopers broke through and ordered the two to surrender.
Chestre activated the thermal detonator. The blast detonated the 6 proton cores, which then detonated the 50 tons of kyber crystal ore.
The 6 exploding proton cores, would be enough to blow a hole in a star destroyer and turn its hanger area into a useless crater. The 50 metric tons of kyber crystal ore, would be destabilized by the explosion, and set off an even more massive secondary explosion, which was all the more devastating because it would come from inside the star destroyer's hanger bay where the ship's internal structures were not protected by shields or armor. Unprotected or unsecured munitions or explosives in the hanger bay, including those loaded into TIE bombers might even add to the explosion, if the First Order did not store them properly.
>>>>>>>
On the Gopher-1
Captain Silas could do nothing but watch as the star destroyer's expert ion cannon salvos hit and disabled the Gopher-2. She saw the Star Destroyer use a tractor beam to pull Gopher-2 into it's hanger bay. Then... she watched as the entire hanger area of the star destroyer explode outwards in a massive blast.
She suddenly realized she might have a chance if the empire was unable to pick her up. Captain Silas grabbed an oxygen mask, and pried open the cockpit door. She floated herself though the Gopher-1 towards the reactor spaces. She needed to get power back!

As the Gopher-2 detonated aboard the Charybdis, damaging at least slightly the portside of it's left hangar space, Commodore Thax contacted the flagship immidiately in order to find out what was going on. It would take moments to figure out what was happening, while the Banshee would continiue to pick up with it's tractor beam the remaining YT2400 freighter. The TIE wing from Banshee squadron flew in a safe distance in close distance to the freighter. So far the sabotage action from the previous smuggler ship would lock the Ilum Defense fleet in orbit.
::Status report?::
The holo image of Grand Admiral Kasalle appeared next to the Commodore on the emitter table aboard the Banshee's bridge, once news reach her shuttle. Commodore Naya Thax was able to provide updates when it came to what has happened after the explosion.
"Hangar section A-3 of the Charybdis was damaged by a sabotage act. We lost four Stormtroopers, six are injured and currently in the medbay", she told the Grand Admiral, while providing her a camera view on the damaged sections, "Damage was also inflicted to an LAAT- gunboat, but none of the fighters were harmed, given that they were sent out. Luckily not a complete hullbreach, but it was to be expected. The smugglers - or rather terrorists, as we fear now- overestimated the charge of their Thermal detonator, assuming that they would blow not solely themselves up, but the kyber crystals aboard as well. We will pick up the rest eventually."
The Grand Admiral remained silent, as Thax could see the pity in her eyes. Four Stormtroopers, who have died... fine men and women in Imperial service, blown away from one second to another. Jenia Kasalle was already known as an ice-cold lady, yet she valued the lifes of those, who served under her. Thax knew from expierience that this meant that any chance of mercy was wasted on the remaining smugglers.
::Is the other YT2400-freighter still held up by the tractor beam?::
"It is. Shall we proceed pulling it inside the hangar bay?"
::No. Give orders to the TIE squadrons to blast a hole into the hull section. We don't need more terrorists dying an over-glorified death. I'll arrive aboard the Banshee as soon as I can before I will aid Commodore Thorne in chasing down the last remaining terrorist.::
Commodore Thax saluted, before the TIE squadrons recieved the Grand Admiral's order. Lasers would hit the unshielded Gopher-1, destroying the glass front of the cockpit while aimed shots landed upon the engine section to fully destroy it. With the Victory-II Star Destroyer being out of range to become threatened by another potential assassination attempt, the Imperials would simply ensure that no oxygen or energy would be left in the wreckage, as only the kybercrystals aboard mattered now.
Maintaining it's gravity well stance, the Charybdis would hover in orbit as well, like a looming animal, damaged and scratched, but nontheless a triumphant shadow over the small vessel.

Within moments, all the contents of the ship that were not bolted to the deck or bulkhead were spaced out of the Gopher-1's canopy. Captain Silas's failure to close the cockpit door after she pried it open doomed them all. The rapid decompression of the ship would rip Captain Silas, Funk and Dudge through the ship faster than they could react. Tools, food, garbage, dirt, dust; it all got spaced. With her supplemental oxygen canister, Captain Silas lasted longer than Funk and Dudge. But eventually she would succumb to the cold void if she was not picked up.

Time would pass by before eventually the tractorbeam would pull the wreckage of the Gopher-1 inside, once it was made sure that another detonation like on the Charybdis wouldn't occur aboard the Banshee.
Around the same time, Grand Admiral Kasalle landed aboard her former flagship, the white Upsilon-class command shuttle standing proud within the hangar of the Victory-II class Star Destroyer. With most of the TIE flights, including Banshee squadron having returned to their respective hangars, Kasalle was eager to eventually oversee the situation herself in order to estimate, whether the Banshee would have to support the Spectre of Commodore Thorne or rather remain at Ilum to ensure that the cold fortress world wouldn't remain weakened for too long. Alongside two of her Novatrooper bodyguards, she left the shuttle, noticing solely the brief salutes of Imperial Navy Commandos who crossed her paths with a benefitial nod.
As the Grand Admiral passed by the mostly damaged YT2400-freighter, she eventually saw that the nearby Commandos were alerted by something, most of them stepping back immidiately, when their captain went inside. Jenia didn't need to figure out why the Navy Stormtroopers reacted that way, as one Thermaldetonator had already caused more damage than necessary.
However, the situation quickly calmed down, when the Stormtrooper captain carried out an unconcious person, connected to a last oxygen reserve. It wasn't clear if there were any lifesigns from the distance, but Kasalle knew from her own expierience in a shuttle crash that the person was necessarily dead.
"Tell them to bring any survivors into the medbay ", she eventually ordered "Gascon", also known as NT-748, "Make sure they are properly disarmed and brought to a cell, I'll do the interrogation later."
The Novatrooper moved forward without any further motion, while the Grand Admiral left the hangar with her remaining bodyguard in order to meet the Commodore.
Meanwhile, Captain Silas was transfered to the next medbay, once Gascon informed the present troopers of the Grand Admiral's decision. She would be brought inside a bacta tank in order to ensure that she would make it, guarded silently in the process by present Stormtroopers, who would escort her to the cell block, once she would recover.
It was questionable whether her survival would actually benefit her, given the deeds which were commited by her comrades earlier or actually add up to her own punishment.

Captain Silas awoke in a detention cell. She didn't know where she was. The last thing she could remember was... all the air getting sucked out of the Gopher-1. She sat, dejected. Her body covered in the bruises resulting from burst blood vessels and capillaries in her body when exposed to the vacuum of space. - In short, she was achy and sore all over her body still even though she could tell she spent some time in a bacta tank. Her hair had the distinctive smell of the stuff.
She sat and waited, and wondered if Funk and Dudge, the two Gamorreans on her ship, made it too. She wondered if Chase and Yung got away in the Hopper. She wondered if she would ever meet them again at the Rusty Tap on Nar Shadaa...

Time would pass, before the person, known as both the Grand Moff and the Grand Admiral herself was showing up in the interrogation chamber to which Silas was eventually transfered. Given her appearence, Jenia Kasalle could be considered a beautiful woman, but at the same time as quite the icy personality, given her looks - fitting to her silver-blonde hair. Wearing a regular black uniform of a Grand Moff, solely her rank insignia indicated that she was as well one of the highest-ranked persons within the Imperial Navy.
As she sat down in front of the person, she intended to interrogate, the look on her face was grim.
"Illegal smuggling of kybercrystals and operating an illegal outpost on Imperial territory, ignoring of imperial orders to stand down, damaging two TIE fighters and an Imperial gunboat", she opened up sharp by adressing everything the smugglers had so far committed as a group, "and for the worst, injuring six Stormtroopers with a thermaldetonator explosion, killing another four in the same process alongside the attempt to detonate a huge chuck of kybercrystals aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer, endangering the lifes of thousands of officers and 3000 Stormtroopers aboard. How do you plead?"
There was no further information given when it came to the fate of the smugglers. Solely the numbers from the Imperial side, as the Grand Admiral's calm look pretty much indicated, that she wasn't pleased at all about the situation. Four men in Imperial service had died. That alone was most certainly a death sentence under regular circumstances for a regular planetary citizen.
