((For Nortrom))

"Hallo there, friend!" exclaimed Wron, seeing Nortrom approach across the cafe. Wron smiled, but it was an uneasy smile, as if he knew something was amiss. "Jedi, right?" he asked, and pointed to the odd manner of dress in which Nortrom was clad. "We don't get many Jedi 'round my cafe, but hey, I'm sure you can pay with the best of 'em, amiright? What can I do ya for, friend?"

((For Fat Boy Kyle))

The forward mountain outpost was controlled by the Coreldan military, a former mountain training center base camp for Army soldiers. It had all of the amenities required of a base camp, such as numerous living areas that were climate-controlled, a full medical center, a mess hall, a logistical support center and maintenance area, and a shooting range. All in all, it was a fairly solid outpost, and defended by a troop of the best mountain fighters in the Coreldan military. Additionally, Blackstar kept a small observation team at the outpost to assist and liaise with the Coreldans, but at this time, they were deployed up into the mountains, on a scouting mission. The observation team was conducting reconnaissance to try to find evidence of of the Loyalists operating in the area. Apparently, an officer back in the capital had learned from an interrogation that the Loyalists were located somewhere in these mountains, and had requested a quick recon ahead of his arrival. After extensive searching, however, the recon team could find only trace evidence of the Loyalists: a slightly-used trail. It was obvious that people were moving along the trail through a mountain pass about fifteen miles from the base camp, though their origination and destination were not apparent.
