A flash of turbolaser fire light up the starboard viewport as it crashed into Captain Ganon’s escort cruiser, splitting it apart. He cursed under his breath as he watched, helpless to stop the destruction of the craft. But it looked like their distraction was working. On their long range scanners they were picking up a few friendly ships dropping out of hyperspace, closer to the station. He smirked.
“Sir!” came the excited shout of one of the crew in the communications pit, “The Star Imperius has made contact with the station’s network!” Ganon continued his smirk because he didn’t want it to turn into a grimace. How they’d fallen. Once officers of the grand Sith Imperial Navy and then left out to dry. They’d done well on their own so far but sometimes…In order for their plans to see fruition they needed to pull off unsavory jobs like this.
“Tell its slicer crews to stand by and prepare to jump regardless of how much or how little data they’ve taken. We can’t afford to lose them.” An affirmative came over the roar of battle. “Begin active jamming of the enemy’s communications as well. It should stop the station at least from asking for help too quickly. Make sure the Star Imperious is running as dark as it can while they work.” Just then a pair of frigates and a back-up star destroyer dropped out of hyperspace behind them. The operation was beginning in earnest now…

Aboard the Star Imperious
Jace had been a slier for as long as he’d been alive. There wasn’t much else for a street rat to get good at when he lived in the much of the Corporate sector. As chief of the Star Imperious’ electronic warfare and slicing division he’d his own status quite far. His fingers flew across the keyboard of his console and the cybernetic implant bolted into his cranium whirred as if working overtime, and to frank, it was. They were a small team, the Slicing Division. It was one of the few groups that the Frozen Hand used that weren’t comprised of brigands and clones and he was damn proud of it. That being said, he was one of three slicers on this mission and even with a Donnager’s equipment and their cybernetic implants, they’d need a Verpine to crack this trade station’s encryption.
“People say Danger was just a pretty face,” he heard one of his mates mutter, “But she knew damn well what she was doing when she got this security system done up. You reckon’ its Verpine?”
“Them or one of them other big brained non-humans.” Came another. “My money’s on the Quang. A lot easier to get one of them doing this in the core than going all the way out to Roche or the headache of dealing with Columi.” Jace shivered. Life support was starting to go dark too now. How many systems had they shut off for this? What was the Frozen Hand expecting to find? He knew one of their goals was to siphon as many credits as they could. Griff was on that, he and Alicia were on data duty and she hadn’t said a word since they’d started. He glanced over at her and marveled at the gear she was using. The large cybernetic implant attached to a spinal mounted powerpack made his DX-30 look puny, and the holonet goggles too made her look like something straight out of a slicer holo. He grimaced thinking about what that was doing to her eyes and brain.
