When one is in need of credits, he does what he must.(open to all)

(ooc: this takes place after the events of Ship for Hire. need some one from the imperial remnant!)

N'Jay spent most of his time looking for work but today it was different. he heard of a space ship ripe it was a a freighter carrying weapons but some how went dead in space with all the cargo still there.. he didn't know what types of weapons, and honestly didn't care, he wanted them to sell them and make money. he heard that it was above Kamino, imperial remnant territory. well so be it, he had no quarrel with them. ​'R-5 set coordinates for Kamino, lets go make some money.' ​minutes later the 'Wild Flower' shots into hyperspace, Destination: Kamino.
 
Aboard the Anarchy's Doom, Captain Talyn Krane idly drummed her fingers on the armrest of her command chair.

The Imperial Remnant's territory was still relatively small; they were consolidating their power, bringing these backwater systems fully under the iron rule of Imperial law. Besides the occasional engagement with pirates and other undesirables, like the recent skirmish she had orchestrated over Rishi, Talyn found herself confined to routine patrols between the three worlds their budding empire had definitively claimed. That was what brought her star destroyer to the Kamino system, now the seat of the Emperor's power. It might as well be a parade detail; she was there to be the public face of the fleet, showing the locals that they were safe under the Remnant's protection - and also that they were watched by a power that could obliterate them in seconds, should their loyalty come into question.

For a combat-hardened officer, it was mind-numbingly boring. She had used the time to catch up on reading, devouring a dozen treatises on naval tactics and military history, and it had still failed to pass the entirety of the dragging downtime. She had turned up the gravity in the officers' gym and increased her workout routine to twice daily, re-toning the muscles of her slim form to her satisfaction, and even that had not filled the empty hours. She knew that this was a necessary step in bringing order to this corner of the galaxy, that there would be conquests and glory in the months and years to come, but still she felt wasted on these long patrols. So it was with not inconsiderable satisfaction that she received the report of an unauthorized starship coming out of hyperspace in this heavily restricted system.

A freighter was hardly a challenge, but it was at least a diversion, and it would keep her in the mindset of command.

"Shields up," Talyn ordered. One could never be too careful. "Charge port turbolasers and tractor beams." The Anarchy's Doom was a deadly warship, already a veteran of several engagements; she was confident in its power to shred any threat. The incoming ship showed up on her sensor screen - a battered Gozanti-class cruiser, civilian as far as she could tell. Sensors would get a read on its cargo and crew, provided there were no sensor baffles in place; it was possible the vessel belonged to smugglers, who had found no end of ways to be clever about masking such things. "Unidentified starship," she transmitted to @N'Jay Crowe, "you have entered restricted space. Throttle back your engines immediately, or you will be fired upon." It was not an idle threat - she would allow no terrorist past her.

"State your cargo and destination, then prepare for inspection. Do not deviate from your present course."
 
After hours in hyper space constsiting of eating and training, he was glad to finally be dropping out of hyperspace. He wondered where [member="October"] was, it's been moths since their little exploration to Hoth. 'fun times'​ he thought with a smile. he liked the kid, and hoped he was doing well for him self. ​'R-5, check the shields, weapons, and all sub-systems. we don't want any failings if we meet pirates." he hoped he was the first to hear and reach the cargo, but you'd be surprised how many times scavers and pirates stole cargo right from underneath him. although it's ironic that he hates scavers and yet half the time he was one. but when he needed credits, he did what he needed to. he hoped this would be an easy, but he knew luck was never with him that's why he got so good at improvising.

the ​Wild Flower ​came out of hyperspace in the Kamino system about 20000 meters from the target ship, according to the radar. but the ship as not what caught his attention. instead a Imperial Star-Destroyer, with shields up and weapons primed , is what J saw out the viewport. ​"Damn."​ it was the only thing to say at the moment. he knew if the star-destroyer attacked him he would not survive. then over the comms the ship hailed him. "Unidentified starship, you have entered restricted space. Throttle back your engines immediately, or you will be fired upon." he had no chose but to comply. then they transmitted again, "State your cargo and destination, then prepare for inspection. Do not deviate from your present course."

​he had very little cargo, mainly food rations and some containers he used for storage, and he knew where he was going. but in true imperial fashion they were going to inspect him, it didn't mater though he had nothing to hide. ​"R-5 cut thrust and stay on course, the imperials what to say hi," ​then he opened up the comms channel transmitting to the star-destroyer " this is the ​Wild Flower,​ captain and owner N'Jay Crowe speaking, no present cargo except food and necessities. sending you the coordinates of my destination. engines cut and preparing to be inspected." he didn't have anything illegal, at lest he hoped not. he just wanted to make some money and if the imperials wanted to talk and inspect his ship, fine. he sat back waiting for the imperials to drag him to the star-destroyer via tractor beam.

Talyn considered the broadcast from the Wild Flower carefully. This was a dangerous time for the Remnant; although they were not openly at war, the Galactic Alliance was suspicious of them and the First Order simmered with resentment. Many different coalitions of pirates, rebels, and terrorists had already attempted to oppose them within their own territory. She could not afford to take chances. Scanner sweeps of the modified cruiser revealed nothing beyond the minor cargo the pilot had mentioned, but there was the risk of smugglers' holds or sensor spoofing. It would be best to physically inspect the ship, just to be sure. "Lock tractor beam projectors," Talyn ordered, and Commander Kayl moved immediately to obey. "Prepare a scanning team to board the vessel."

As the tractor beams dragged the Wild Flower into the Star Destroyer's docking bay, Talyn took the turbolift down to meet the inspection team. This was the most excitement she'd seen on the whole patrol, and she did not intend to spend it seated in her command chair. As the tubolift descended, she ran the coordinates the pilot had given through her head again and again. It was a location in Kamino's high orbit, largely cleaned up since the Remnant had destroyed the defense fleet and taken control of the system and now heavily restricted by order of the Emperor. What would the pilot want there? She couldn't be sure, but a good first step in finding out would be to simply ask. Naval stormtroopers formed up around her as she approached the ship, scanning equipment in hand.

Just outside the Wild Flower's docking ramp, Talyn waited calmly, her hands clasped behind her back. Time to see what the pilot had to say for himself.

Meanwhile...

"Kaz, set coordinates for Kamino."

The Stargazer jumped into hyperspace. He'd heard a tip on a cargo ship that went dead near Kamino, Imperial Remnant territory from his usual, the very Toydarian he shared his ship with. To Myles, this was just a routine scavenge n' sell. The young scoundrel was intent on picking the ship clean and selling (or keeping) whatever cargo it had on it. He would have to be fast before anyone else got to it, as always. Myles was half-expecting to have company there.

As The Stargazer jumped out of hyperspace, Myles immediately noticed the star destroyer. Hopefully, he had been far enough and quick enough to avoid detection.

"Kaz, enable cloaking!" he shouted quickly.

"See...? I tooold you this would be risky. You never listen to me... I am always right." grumbled the Toydarian.

"We're gonna have to get around 'em." said the young pilot.

J sat back in the captins chair waiting for the tractor beam to engage. the ship julted and rattled abit, but it was normal. J has been boarded several times by several differant factions over the year. the one thing he still hated was the tractor beam, it always messed something up in his ship but never the same thing twice. as he was dragged in to the belly of the star-destroyer he wondered 'who else heard about this cargo?' ​if someone else took it while the imperials inspected him, he'd be pissed but that's about it. because only those with a stealth system could get around this Destroyer.

a few minutes later he heard his ship being dropped in the hanger bay. he wondered how the were going to try and impress him, they all do, in small ways, a show of power, mystery, and openness where the three most common. but he knew the imperials loved to show off their power. he decided to keep his gun and armor off to show them that he wants no trouble. "R-5 with me, let's go say hello"​ as he and the robot walked to the boarding ramp. he lowered it and stepped out. what he saw was a bit off from the norm, an officer, probably the captain, and only a squad of storm troopers. he would not talk first but instead wait till this officer talked to see what type of attitude he was dealing with.

The boarding ramp dropped, and the pilot stepped out unarmed and unarmored. Smart move. The stormtroopers would have dropped him in two seconds flat if he'd looked threatening. Talyn stepped forward, her every line crisp with Imperial discipline. "I am Captain Krane of the Imperial Navy. By order of the Emperor, the Kamino system is now restricted space, closed to unauthorized civilian traffic. In order to operate a commercial vessel in the system, captains must undergo a vigorous background check and apply for Permit 1093817-Besh." She stared at the pilot, considering him. Human, a little younger than her but a good deal taller. Definitely a freighter captain type, and quite possibly a smuggler. "What is your reason for entering the Kamino system?"

Although the Anarchy's Doom lacked the powerful sensors or crystal grav traps that would detect a cloaked vessel, this was the Kamino system, the capital of the Imperial Remnant and the most heavily defended and patrolled region of its space. Dozens of defense satellites sent out scan pulses every second, and powerful sensor relays on the planet's stilt cities were always watching the skies. Talyn's earpiece comm buzzed. "Captain," Commander Kayl transmitted, "Kamino Control has detected an irregularity on the move. It appears to be approaching the same coordinates that the cruiser pilot gave us. We have nothing on our scopes, but Control has double-checked, and they're sure it's present." Talyn frowned. All this was making her uneasy. "Did anyone else accompany you?" She asked the pilot.

Turning away from him for a moment, she transmitted orders back to the bridge. "Bring us to those coordinates and charge turbolasers. We'll see if they show themselves."

J has dealt with powerful people before and one wrong move, one lie, or one deception could mean imprisonment or death. he wasn't going to risk it. ​"Captain Krane, an honor to make your acquaintance. honestly I had no idea this system was restricted nor that a permit was required. this is my first time in this system chasing a rumor of a dead ship with a small amount of weapons or some valuable scavenge." ​ but then she looked less interested for a while, like she was listening to some one over a comlink. then she gave him a death stare, "Did anyone else accompany you?" ​was what she asked next. ​'Sh!t, some one else is after my cargo" ​he answered truthfully ​"no I came alone with my R-5 unit, I suspect that is a fast stealth ship to even try to go after that knowing that they would be found, unless they were that arrogant to think you could not detect them." ​he decided now would be a good time to shut up before he said something he would regret. he wondered what was going to happen next.

Kamins system...more specifically kamino, was a place that her planet shipped grain and food to, mostly because the planet was entirely water

The freighter exited hyperspace space, stardust looked out as she gave a smile and placed her arms behind her back, she had no idea what she was jumping into, only that her job needed to be convoluted before heading back to her planet to take care of queen business...she remembered she had at least five meetings...she wasn't looking forward to them

She started slowly approaching the planet having her crew getting ready to land
