Somewhere near Nubia...
Clunking noises and shifting of metallic bits were a constant as the old Kappa Shuttle that Aspera borrowed from the Jedi made its way out of hyperspace and into sublight speeds. Somehow she had been convinced to be the pilot for this recovery job. A Haven Medical station that had been neglected for a century perhaps from good society apparently attracted smugglers. Pirates and criminals of sorts seemed to have been spotted using the place but there was little intel on who was in charge or why they came there. Such a place this far into the core showed just how much work there was to do still all over the Galaxy.
"All these years and no one noticed a smuggler den orbiting around the Nubia system?" Aspera asked no one specific as the station came into view.
There was nothing extra or special about what the Jedi Knight had brought to the mission. Her wanderer robes were the same as always providing some armor while her lightsaber was clipped to her belt. In general she was well rested and ready to get this done. It was her first assignment as a Jedi Knight and she was eager to be more independent now. Others on the ship were unknown to her completely but there was a mixture to say the least. Rangers and Jedi alike came long. It seemed anyone could walk off the shuttle once they landed and it wouldn't be a shock.
Smugglers didn't exactly have space patrols around a wandering station left alone for a century. Aspera would guide the shuttle to land just as if she belonged and it was another delivery or visit as usual. Confidence opened many doors and when that failed many doors opened to violence. This step at least was the former. She had a feeling that would change once inside though.
"We're here. Let's go! Expect any of the locals to want to kill you. Try not to let them." Her tone was teasing but there was a tinge of seriousness behind it.
When the ramp made a thud against the durasteel floor of the bay, Aspera was the first one to step down it. Her unignited lightsaber was held in a first and she stood there daring for a reaction.
