Unknown Region of Protectorate Space,
Merchant Convoy Enroute to CIS Space
The Merchant Captain nodded simply as he looked over the holo-projector showing their chosen trajectory for the course. A simple journey from Abregado-Rae towards Confederate Space, carrying shipment of foodstuff and valuable bacta. The convoy was not aligned to either of the factions, simply private small-time investors making their living.
"Anything on the sensors?"
The Captain asked, looking from the navigation-projector to his communications officer,
"No, sir, quiet as usually."
He nodded, patting his beard as his gaze turned back to the map briefly,
"Well looks like we may make it through to the other side peacefully."
"Let us hope it's not calm before the storm."
His Yeoman responded, the Captain smirked slightly, rather sadly knowing that space in those parts can be dangerous, even with patrols and protection of Omega, there were new threats lately lurking in the sector.
"Indeed, connect me to our mercenary friend,"
The Captain said towards his communications officer, moving over to sit in his command chair. The mercenary friend he has referred to was the young Templar Voroll, one of the folks who answered the advertisements convoy has put up before their journey, hired to keep the merchants and their merchandise safe, in case of trouble.
"Looks like we may be paying you for nothing today, it is rather quiet so far."
The Captain would most likely eat his words, it was never something good to say during journeys like that, it simply invited trouble.

Horde-Aligned Raiding Party Setting Ambush for Passing Vessels
"Has everything been prepared,"
The raider leader asked the crew shuffling about his flag-ship, their ship outfitted with gravity wells.
"Yessir, we are poised to strike, the beast and our raiders have been loaded."
The beast they have referred to was Ven, a cage containing the Woman-Spawn was shoved onto one of the dropships the raiders were going to use, their plan to transport the monstrum aboard their enemy's vessel and unleash her.
"Good, now we wait for our prey."
Soon enough their sensors began to blare, one of the Raider crew looked back to their leader,
"Warlord, a convoy is coming within our range, merchants from the looks of it."
An evil grin has appeared on the face of the Raider,
"And so we strike- engage the gravity wells, sound alarms to be ready for combat!"
The Raiders didn't brought that many ships with them, just enough, their forces were not big enough to warrant or even alert the Protectorate forces pulling their whole navy on them, but they were big enough to provide worthy challenge for the merchants and their mercenaries.
Either way,
The Merchant Convoy and Voroll's ship would shake suddenly as they were pulled out of hyperspace by the volatile gravity wells of the Raiding Party, the Vong ships soon enough opened fire and the shields of merchants would begin flash under onslaught of pirate vessels as the battle erupted.
The Merchant Captain shouted into the transmission systems,
"All hands at battle stations, prepare to face the raiding party in battle!"
Before the Merchants and Voroll would realize what was going on the Raiders were already moving their plan into action,
"Launch all fighters and dropships!"
Their units shooting out from the hangars, scrambling to begin boarding actions upon the Merchants, Monster Ven, the Sith Spawn would be on one of them.
The Merchant Captain knew what he was doing, a veteran of battles, now retired to position of a trader,
"They have launched boarding parties, we need reinforcements!"
He sent out a transmission to his mercenaries as the security forces on the ship hurried to began forming defensive positions inside the hangars.
"Send out a distress signal, let us hope there is a Protectorate patrol nearby."
He commanded to his Communications Officer, the man simply nodded,
"Yessir"
As he carried out the orders
