Wild Space, Instrop Sector, Theta Station​

Out of hyperspace came a gunship. Within the cockpit Minerva in full gear took a moment to view the sight before her. A ring of floating rocks, varied shapes and sizes. In the center however, was the largest with a settlement etched onto much of its surface and interior.

From the viewpoint Minerva can see how expensive this mining colony must've been to construct. Remember why you're here. The Mandalorian reminded herself, pressing the vessel forward. She was maneuvering expertly through the massive field of debris when her ship's console let out a beep. Knowing she was being hailed by the port authorities Minerva Fhridad swifty answered with the flip of a switch.

"Unknown vessel this is Theta Station identify yourself and your business here." Said an automated voice with a feminine hint.

"Copy that Theta Station, this is the Nuna'a code clearance green. I'm here to see a friend who works here. Starting my approach, requesting permission to land."

"Access will be granted when we have confirmation of your code clearance."

"Roger." Answered Minerva who then transmitted the code as requested. Swifty the voice declared. "You are cleared to dock Nuna'a. Head for hanger bay 141 through the provided cordoriaites."

"Will do."

Her ship's navi computer screen quickly showed Minerva where to land. Minutes later she came in sight of the hanger in the station's center, the third on the left. With a steady grip she slowed the gunship until it went past the energy shield. Not long after Minerva landed with a loud clang. Staying in her seat Minerva looked down at the console.

Pulling a comlink with one hand she made a call.

"Radin, I'm here. Where ya want to meet?"

Her contact answered and she nodded. "Alright I'll see you at the market then. Should be able to spot your ugly mug easily enough."

Minerva smiled at her comment as Farren on the other banter back at her. Shrugging both shoulders. "See you soon Burc'ya." After ending the call the Mandalorian got up from the pilot seat and exited from the cockpit. She had to check some things first before leaving the ship.

The Crown Princess yawned and stretched as she pondered her next actions while cooped up in her state room. It had been several days since their last stop in Elysium territory while transiting to their post along the trade routes for anti-piracy operations. Commander Takami, acting in her mother's stead, had pushed for the princess to accompany the vessel and allow the young noble a chance to stretch her legs.

She hadn't had a chance to do much stretching really.

With a grunt, she heaved herself from her bed and marched from the room. The guards flanking her door swiftly followed as she passed. Tsubasa would never get used to being followed by the men and women tasked with her and the Imperial family's safety.

After several minutes of walking, the trio made it to the bridge,"Princess on deck!" was yelled as she entered and the crew stood at attention until she awkwardly waved them to continue. Her path took her up to the Captain's station, in which was seated a familiar woman.

Riko Sakurauchi, the ex-Sith naval officer, had been tasked with being the personal captain of the Crown Princess and was a sight for sore eyes,"Hey Riko, how goes our patrol?"

The captain answered smoothly,"Smoothly as can be, Your Grace. We are coming up on an old mining facility called Theta Station and should be able to send a party to enusre no pirates are hiding or operating in the area."

Tsubasa, the former fighter pilot, eagerly jumped on the offered chance,"Woukd I be able to join said party?"

Riko answered with a soft chuckle, the younger noble reminding her so much of her adoptive mother,"I do not see why not. Head down to the shuttle bay and get prepped."

Tsubasa wasted no time in giving the older woman a hug before nearly running off the bridge, barely registering the call to attention as she whisked herself off.

Having been to her share of stations and mining colonies over the years Minerva could already tell this facility could get rather busy at times. The young warrior didn't bother to conceal the fact that she was a Mandalorian, publicly wearing the armor as she exited the small hangar bay. Now strolling through a corridor with people and droids going from one direction to the opposite.

From the loudspeakers an automated voice advertised for some shipping company. Followed by a second one announcing a swoop race two rotations from now.

As for herself Minerva headed to the right hand side. While walking she couldn't help but notice some of the crowd staring in her direction whether briefly or not. Some of it seemed to be curiosity. Others' concern was evident but a few were actually hostile. Pretending not to be aware Minerva kept moving. Unless any of them threatened her the Mandalorian could care less what they thought of her.

Soon enough she climbed two sets of stairs coming upon a shopping district. It was more modest than anything on Nar Shaddaa. Bringing up the commlink again Minerva. "Radin, where are you?"

Hearing the answer she looked around and sure enough spotted her contact, sitting at a booth of a caf stand.

Radin was a slightly heavyset Lorrdian with light brown skin that matched his eyes and hair. Seeing Minerva as he drank a cup Radin waved with one hand. Beneath the helm the warrior smirked before heading toward him.
