[u][i][b]Nar Shaddaa Spaceport[/b][/i][/u] Sure enough there was a smuggler standing by next to an XS Freighter with a crimson colour scheme dubbed the "Escutcheon". At present said smuggler was currently reviewing a manifesto of what was being loaded onto the freighter, before signing said manifesto under the name "Salzar Uzaysun". But to those who knew the Sith Pureblood smuggler, that was not his preferred name. Mark simply watched as the cargo was loaded onto the ship. Nar Shaddaa was Hutt territory. Neutral Space. In the buisness of smuggling, the Sith Pureblood knew that the more attention you drew to yourself, the more difficult your job becomes. And given he was seeing that he was going to ship supplies to a hidden hideout on Tatooine, in one of it's more uncharted areas for the occupants living there, he couldn't afford to allow himself to be tailed. Especially since three occupants had known ties to the Republic. Once the cargo was finished loading, Mark would then need to wait for his chance to slip past the Imperial Empire's forces in the area and jump to hyperspeed at the first possible opportunity. Until then, he was a sitting duck, and he hated it. --------- [u][i][b]Nar Shaddaa Streets[/b][/i][/u] Clad in black and scarlet robes, the occasional crackle of lightning surging around his arms to ward off any would-be hostiles through making them think twice before attempting to jump them, the Chiss Sith, Lord Zerenis Aotisa lead the hunt for the escaped Force presence. Every second wasted was a moment the presence could slip the net. He'd taken the time out to single-handedly slaughter the entire SIS team along with the Imperial squadron while Arkana and Arkaos tangoed with the Jedi, but that was not his primary reason to be here. His objective was a little more personal. He held a vested interest in the Force presence and was intent on capturing or killing it if it refused to co-operate. Preferably, he'd much rather take it alive first. Not much you can learn from a corpse, afterall, though given Arkana and Arkaos' track record when it comes to Jedi, if they got to it first, that was not going to happen.
