Well, that had certainly been one way of getting there. Saku steadied herself shaking her head, having used some application of the Force in order to keep herself from falling down. The Corvette, shielded and much larger and heavier than the fighters, had of course not taken damage, and the Interceptors were steadily breaking off as they realized the ship was far too close to the city below to risk firing on it. Needless to say, the situation was looking more and more like they would soon find this meeting of crime lords and Children of the Empire.

"... That was incredibly reckless and incredibly brilliant," Saku said, unable to stop her usually irritable expression from breaking into a grin, "The Imperials didn't expect that! ... But now's not the time for celebration. We have to land, and fast. They'll be organizing forces to intercept us when we land, no doubt."

Saku peered out of the viewing port, to the spaceport below. Yes, they needed to quickly land to avoid being overwhelmed. If they cut to the heart of this matter, and fast, then they could end it just as swiftly. And discover just what that disturbance was.

The fighters had to break off. After all, they needed to at least make it appear they cared more for the city below then destroying the Republic... Commander Oren swiftly turned to face the assembled crime lords again. They were all staring in surprise at the dark jedi who had assembled. Certainly, it was not something they had access to under normal circumstances. The Imperial commander addressed the room at large once more.

"There are four of these Dark Acolytes," she began, "Though one of their number is currently assigned another mission. As you have agreed to sell us this information, they will be at your disposal."

There was a murmur of approval among the crime lords. Dark Jedi working for them... That was interesting.

Grogga leaned forward.

"{Certainly, we rarely have such agents at our disposal,}" the especially corpulent hutt began, "{But the New Republic has entered our airspace. What will you do about that, Imperial?}"

Oren nodded her head, quietly. "We'll stop them. No matter what."

As she spoke, a large contingent of Stormtroopers made its way to the nearby spaceport...

The Children of the Emperor had one last plan to ensure that this went through.
