Jedi master Kara Kasra brought her attention to the matter at hand as her X-14 HiMAT exited hyperspace. A large ring attached to the snubfighter allowed it to travel in hyperspace which would otherwise have been impossible for it. Turning her head to the left, Kara saw two X-wings drop out of hyperspace and pull up alongside her; through the Force she felt a third do the same on the opposite side. In front of the four snubfighters was a large moon which they had used to hide their entrance into the system. It wouldn’t do for anyone hiding away on the planet to notice them, especially if they were after the same things as Kara was.

“Master Kasra, our sensors aren’t picking up any nearby ships. It looks like our entrance was undetected.” Said Illyana, a pilot of one of the X-wings. 

“I don’t feel anyone watching us” The Jedi master agreed after extending her awareness with the Force. Kara didn’t know much about the Zeltron woman as this was the first time they had worked together. What she did know was that Illyana Starfire had been a pilot in the navy before transferring into the rangers.

“Perhaps we’re the first ones here then” Jalek Logan commented, not even trying to mask the nervousness he felt. The human slicer, despite his nervousness, had proven time and again that he wouldn’t let his fellow rangers or any Jedi down, even when under fire.

The last of the X-wing pilots refrained from speaking, though Kara could feel that he was paying attention to the conversation while attentively scanning the nearby area for any sign of sentient life. After a few moments Kara felt his attention sharply rise.

“Have you detected anything Ori?” She asked. There was a moment’s pause before the ranger responded.

“I’ve detected some communications. Whoever they are, they probably seem to bother encrypting it, so I think they’re pirates.” Ori responded in a clipped tone.

“Sithspawn!” Jalek spat. “And here I was hoping for an easy assignment for once!” Despite his outburst Kara couldn't sense any extra nervousness from him. Good, he was improving some.

“Any indication on those Sith artifacts we were sent after?” Illyana asked. There was a long pause before Ori responded in the negative.

“We’ll stay here for a bit and observe the situation before moving in. Any complaints?” Kara asked.
