Koren sat on the bridge of the ship as another larger ship dropped out of hyperspace, just in time to see his two new Imperial Light Cruisers jump away. One for an undisclosed location, he had to have [i]somewhere[/i] to keep all his collateral after all. The second for a area of uninhabited space at the co-ordinates he had sent to the Jedi, he still felt the Jedi was foolish for not accepting a crew but hopefully he would sooner or later realize that he couldn't operate on his own. If he wanted the Jedi to continue he was going to have to work with others, train even more. Otherwise, the Jedi would die. Koren wasn't even accounting for the so called [i]Jedi[/i] that had been present at Endor, but then one Jedi wasn't really enough to rebuild a peacekeeping order throughout the Galaxy.

Koren stood up and brushed himself down as the slave ship came alongside. Speaking to the nearest droid. "Have their commander invited aboard. We'll make the deal, do the exchange and then he can be on his merry way." He clicked his fingers as he realized something. "Also give the Jedi information on Teberus Kain on Ylesia. He's been running a slave outfit for the Empire there for Months and is about to take in a large shipment of Wookies for transport to Kessel. One of the last groups to be transported from Kashyyyk until things began to lock down. Give him the location of the compound and access to whatever ship he wishes, if he still hasn't made up his mind on what one he wishes to keep." Koren shook his head. How hard was it for someone to find a new more efficient vessel? Albeit a Cloakshape was a good ship, they were in short supply these days and finding parts to retrofit it to a modern standard wasn't terribly easy. Though if that was what Tez really wanted, then in the end that would be what he got. After all, Koren wasn't worried about expense for a project like this.

Lance Thereon leaned over a holomap of the Hutt Sector. He wasn't happy with how few boots on the ground he currently had, nor that they had to galavant around acting like mercenaries, however sometimes there was such a thing as an emergency where things weren't going entirely to plan. This meant that he had to make adjustments to his schedule, and to the operating schedule of the detatchment down on the planet. He turned to an aide. "Secure a line to Sergeant Elias."  The aide nodded at him, they couldn't risk a two way transmission without fear of being tracked however they could get a message through.

"Verification, Aurek, Zeta, Nine, Nine, Five-" The code to let Elias know this was a legitimate transmission and a priority. "Downed New Republic Ship predicted to be in Hutt Sector. Leave current objective with squad of trusted individuals, find a way to locate downed New Republic vessel and alert us of it's location A.S.A.P, send back acknowledgement on same frequency."
