Arrbi Betna
Marauder
Sure, scouting and spying on the enemy was a normal job for Betna. Sure, he enjoyed the well paying jobs. Sure, he was used to the occasional, unusual jobs.
This was a bit more than unusual though.
He was accustomed to scouting out enemy positions ahead of an attack or creeping about to find the best vantage point that offered both cover and fire lanes. This, though, was a tad unusual. Unusual it may be, however, Betna was far from unprepared.
Designed to combat the One Sith during the wars in the past, the Shev'la Prudii was perfect for the role. The Pathfinder was kitted with a stygium cloak, hiding it from sensors and eyesight with ease and reliability. On top of this was the gravitic modulator that hid the ship from mass detectors, making the ship capable of remaining undetected. An advanced passive sensor package took up some of the cargo capacity of the ship and allowed him to quietly scan around the systems he was within with little to no risk of detection. Sure, the ship still had it's original active scout-grade scanners, but the passive scanners were far, far safer to use in such situations.
It was within such a ship that Betna arrived in system. On average, most space-traffic control systems operated within the gravity wells of the main inhabitied planets. A nation at war, however, would often extend their monitored areas to the entirety of the system itself. As it was, Betna decided to play it safe and plotted a hyperspace course beyond the edge of the system.
Such a route would take longer to arrive in system, but would almost guarantee an undetected hyperspace signature. From there, it was a simple matter of cloaking the ship and entering the system.
The lines outside of his cockpit glass of his Pathfinder slowly shrunk to stars and, when the sensors on board chimed to let him know he had arrived safely, he scanned over his systems once more. Satisfied that he had arrived where he'd wanted to, he activated the stygium cloak and set the ship forward.
At worst, it would take him a good, long while to start picking up data with the passive scanners. At best... it would probably still be a fair bit of time. For now, though, all he could do was watch his sensors... and wait.
