A dropship shot out of the hangar bay of the Ardarvia and took off while the frigate hovered in the orbit of Mandalore, after having sent the appropriate clearance codes. Security was very tight in space. This was more than understandable after a recent terrorist attack carried out by a rogue member of the Mandalorian Empire had caused plenty of carnage and claimed the life of the Clans' Warmaster, Ember Rekali. The shuttle descended through the planet's atmosphere. The two occupants would have a good view of the deserts and would be able to see the distant outlines of the city of Keldabe.
The occupants in question were Siobhan Kerrigan and [member="Tempest"], her friend, lover and battle sister. Calling the Dahomian amazon an acolyte was probably no longer appropriate, since Siobhan had conferred the rank of Master on her.
Siobhan was stoic and looking thoughtful while she sat in her seat. Her datapad beeped and she picked it up, checking her messages. "That was [member="Anija Betna"]. We've received clearance to mine and she's named a good smith who can forge the armour for us, for a price. You know the drill, be respectful to the locals, only take as much as we were cleared for." Her minions were disciplined and knew that they would have to be on their best behaviour. Otherwise heads would roll! To be precise, both wanted to mine Mandalorian iron sufficient to construct two suits of armour to replace their old and by now rather battered ones.
She looked out of the viewing port, gazing at the landscape of Mandalore. "It's been a long time since I've been here. Too long perhaps. Mandalorians are on edge because of the situation with the Mandalorian Empire. Shame about Ember. Did a job with him once way back. Tore apart the Sith Council's treasure trove. " That was a big understament.
