The Confederacy of Independent Systems had seen better days, there was no one who deny that point. Several high profile deaths had occurred which made people wonder if the titanic of a nation was sinking. To combat this notion, the research and development divisions were all tasked and mobilized to roll out a series of new battle droids which were said to help the Confederacy combat some of the failings experienced because of the weaknesses some of these battle seemed to uncover. Of course that was not going to be possible with the prototype of a newly developed core processor which had been stolen. Kaden could not believe his luck, as he was once again tasked with an off world mission. More than anything he simply wanted time to himself, and with [member="Daisy Americus"], alone, and on Haseria, the plant both now called home. The dar'manda, as they had been labeled by those who claimed the mantle of true mandalorians, had made a home among the Confederacy on the agricultural world, and while it was not Mandalore or Concord Dawn, it served the purpose that was needed.
Reading the file on the mission had helped Kaden prepare for the task ahead. His armor would always be worn to such things, after all he wanted to live. Twin pistols and his rifle were the only weapons he was going to need, and if stealth was required then the rifle would simply be left behind. The face of his pilot was new. Kaden had not met the young ace before today, and was curious if she was really as good as her test scores seemed to indicate. Splitting time between the military and intelligence agencies had its perks, and Kaden took advantage of them all the time.
Their destination, Eriadu.
The world had been controlled by both the Galactic Alliance and the First Order, so it was no surprise the processor had been tracked to a research facility on the jungle planet. What Kaden did not know was who had it and why. Part of the mission was to recover the asset, and the rest was to get answers. Hopefully he could count on the pilot to be an asset in the mission and not someone he was going to have to train on the go. He was waiting for her at the loading ramp of their assigned ship for the mission. Kaden was early.
