HYPERSPACE
LESSER LANTILLIAN ROUTE

​

With the recent formation, or reformation of the Republic - it made sense the Galactic Alliance would want to ally themselves with them...seeing as the Alliance had spent so long fighting to rebuild that democracy. Kyi and Master Eisa's mission to get the Alliance into the Republic's good books was to intercept a pirate or pirates, that had been messing with Zeltros' shipping lanes and stealing cargo and other sorts, it should be simple enough...well, you never know what could happen with these kind of missions.

Back on Zeltros, the Knight and Master received intel from the planet's authorities that the pirate and his crew usually attacked and plundered Zeltros' shipments in the Airon sector, the plan was to send out a cargo ship as bait and when the pirate crew would reveal themselves, Kyi and Eisa would stop and detain the pirates.

Outfitted with his Star Squadron flight suit and his lightsaber, Kyi and Eisa were currently flying through hyperspace in their starfighters; travelling through the Lesser Lantillian Route, a trade route that started from Zeltros and ended at Junkfort - judging by Kyi's navicomputer, they were about to exit hyperspace at the Airon sector.

As the Jedi Knight made final preparations to jump out of hyperspace and hopefully intercept these pirates, he spoke into his comm and addressed his squadron leader - "Star Three, how're you feeling about this plan?" after asking his question, Kyi felt a little uneasy...was the Force trying to warn him of something? Maybe it was just the Force telling him to keep his wits about him.

Leaning forward in her seat, the ashen haired pilot made a few adjustments to hey flight controls, aligning and calibrating the trim of her current trajectory. Before her gaze scanned over the read outs on her nav console, confirming just how long it would be until the patrol dropped out of hyperspace. Flicking a few switches over, so to power up her weapons and shields, the pilots attention shifted over to the voice that came crackling over the comma link between the two fighters. The masters gaze narrowing slightly at the subtle tones of unease being carried over the Knights voice as he questioned how she felt about the mission.

Leaning back in her seat, before pulling the restraining straps taught over her, in preparation for the sudden drop out of hyperspace, Eisa's finger hovered over the comm link stud briefly before pressing down and reopening the channel. "Same as any other mission Star Eleven" Eisa responded back over the secure channel, her gaze alternating between the readouts and the swirling blue vortex of hyperspace. "Its Drills and Skills. Keep a calm head. Remember your training and stay focused" The Jedi master continued. Before reaching up to quickly toggle the cockpit light on to double check on her flight plan notes tucked away in a clear pocket on the leg of her flight suit.

Once she had finished with the notes of her flight plan, the Jedi master toggled the light switch off, returning the cockpit back to its usual dim light. Her lips pursing in thought for a moment, before reopening the channel back to Kyi. "Once we drop out of hyperspace form up on my right flank, we'll patrol at a speed of 90 mglt" Eisa spoke out, giving instructions for the patrol formation that the two were to fly in. "OK dropping out hyperspace in ten..... Remember Kyi... drills and skills..... Three, two.. One" the Jedi master continued, as the swirling blue malestom transitionwd into streaks of white light as the space around them changed back into real space with a sudden lurch.

As soon as the transition was complete, Eisa throttled up on her ships engines, before assuming the mapped out patrol route, her gaze scouring the read outs of her scanners, as her mind reached out into the Force around her to keep her senses open to any other hostiles within the area

"Copy that." was the response Eisa would receive from the freckle-faced Jedi as he blocked out his uneasiness by focusing on the mission at hand. Kyi's starfighter finally exited hyperspace and the view of the stars returned to the Jedi's eyesight, it was a sight to see as he never really liked being in hyperspace - he had no idea how Eisa handled it with her frequent piloting missions. The Jedi Knight gripped his flight stick and proceeded to oblige with his squadron leader's orders and formed up on the right side of the Jedi Master's starfighter. Kyi checked his scanners to see if there were any changes, if the pirates were going to press their attack on the bait.

"You okay, Exdee?" he asked his droid companion who was once again resting on his back, "Bleeep..." he chirped back nervously, this was Exdee's first piloting mission with Kyi, so it made sense the droid was a little nervous. Reaching over his shoulder, the Jedi patted the droid with his gloved hand to reassure him things will be alright. Kyi kept up the 90 mglt speed of his starfighter as he cruised the stars with the ashen-haired Jedi Master. Things seemed quiet for the moment. That was until he glanced over his scanners to see any changes - his starfighter's scanners had picked up something, about five bogeys headed their way and literally about to come out of hyperspace.

Kyi activated his comm and spoke into it, addressed Eisa "Star Three, you picking this up?" he asked with a curious but cautious tone, these had to be the pirates, they were right on schedule too. Kyi shifted glances at the cargo ship and toward the area of space where the five ships should be exiting hyperspace in a few short moments before speaking into his comm once more - "How do you want to handle this? I'll follow your lead." the Jedi asked, while closing his eyes and opening himself up to the Force to guide his movements and in turn, his flying.
