Tuek Barlowe walked through the crowded Corellian streets, three of his men in tow behind him. All three were in their full enviro-suit, each interwoven with armored plates akin to the one which their captain wore. He however went without his helmet, but as always he wore the same heavy leather greatcoat. His countenance was as grim as always, his sunken eyes glancing back and forth as they moved past the throng of people. It didn't take them long to reach their destination, some simple dive in the midst of the city. The corsair captain looked back to one of his men, a rather unamused scowl on his face.

"Are you sure this is the right place Wells?"

One of the crewmen noded eagerly at his captain's words. "Yes sir, this should be the right place, at least that's what the message said." 

"Alright then, if you're wrong or this is a trap, you'll be docked pay on the next score." Tuek growled, though in truth he had no doubt in Wells' information. Tuek had made sure to read the message himself, along with the most senior and well trusted members of his crew. He believed that it did indeed seem like a chance to make some legitimate pay, and the rest agreed. Piracy may lead to glory and wealth, but in the legend he was to write he would be both hero and villain. The thought of his name and the names of his men being told around fires or to children as they lied down to bed brought a small smirk to his face. Infamy was a sure path to immortality, but deeds of heroism would paint him as more than some bogeyman. 

He forced these thoughts from his mind as they entered the bar, the same look of grim determination taking its place once more. It took them a few minutes to search through the place and find their possible employer. In truth Tuek was surprised by what he saw. She was a petite woman, and an utterly unassuming one as well. Still he did his best to be civil, this was about business after all. 

"You're Maral right? Heard stories about you, gotta say it'll be good working with someone like you. Name's Barlowe, I heard you're gathering a private fleet for some republic scuffle, right? I have a small fleet of my own that I'd like to commit to the effort, in exchange for fair pay of course."
