Her head rested against a bar on the side of her cage, her hand clasped to it as she listened to the sound of the ship going through its final docking procedures. Another planet, likely another job - and perhaps a bit of freedom from her cage, if she was needed to hunt. Even if it was as short lived as it always was for her, she did relish the opportunity to stretch her legs. Even at the cost of selling just a little bit more of her soul to the evil that had trapped her here, one could only stay cooped up for so long before you started to believe you really were the animal they kept you as. She wasn't there yet, or at least she hoped. She had no real experience with it, so she had to believe that just thinking she wasn't it had to count for enough as to make her not an animal. Not yet; not ever if she could help it. Already she had been a prisoner on this ship for three years, but still she clung to hope. She had been spreading what messages she could out with the slaves that were often kept on this ship. When they were sold off, all she could hope was that occasionally one of them would mention her, and it would reach the right ears. The story of a Mandalorian being kept as a caged animal. Perhaps it would bring the Imperials to bear, as she had learned of their genocide. She could live with that though; as long as she knew that bastard who claimed to own her was dead, she could die happy and with a song on her lips. A song that spoke of her homeland, of her family, and how she would be joining them soon. She also held to a small bit of hope that maybe, just maybe, her words would reach someone would come and free her from hell.
Levijon Dencap was a proud man. He owned his own frigate, was the captain of a decently successful mercenary slash pirate troupe that was currently sporting twenty one members - twenty two if you counted his Hound, though he never did - and he had more credits stashed away than his parents had ever even seen in all of their miserable lives. Even now as his ship, the Devious Tooth, was going through the final landing stages to the outskirts of a tiny little barely known or traveled settlement on Tatooine, he had everything he needed to think largely of himself. His crew was set to meet another, smaller crew here in order to transfer over some cargo. They would be taking on some slaves from the smaller ship, five of them to be exact - and all of them stolen from under Hutt noses. He was an equal opportunity pirate; whomever could pay was who he worked for, and he didn't mind crossing the hutts. As long as he could be sure that the Hutts didn't ever hear about it, but if he had any doubts he could just have his men kill everyone who wasn't the slaves that this little group was bringing. He had never heard of them before, and he was always a cautious man - so he had of course arrived a full six hours ahead of time for their meet, so that his men could set up barricades and be fully prepared for this meeting.
The ship landed and he immediately moved out and began snapping orders to his men; set up a bunker on that hill overlooking the meeting zone there, and set a few pitfalls that some of his men could hide in and jump out of if needed. Those men snapped to it and he considered the thirteen men he had left. He had sent his best shots to the bunker; now it was the more imposing physically that he had to deal with. Six of them he chose to escort him, as well as his first mate. The rest were left to guard the ship, taking up positions inside and all around the loading bay, which was currently the only open access point to the ship. Levijon wouldn't be straying too far from that point anyways, meaning they were just additional firepower to keep him safe. As pirates, his men were all well armed - but had no armor to speak of. They weren't a military force in the least, but they did like to shoot things, and that was reflected in the firepower they could bring to bear. Defense was left to whatever it was they could hide behind, though most of them were dumb enough to charge in with guns blazing anyways. Not the brightest crew, but they were his crew, and he was proud to lead them.
Tatooine was as hot as always today as he waited in his captain's chair, lounging and sipping away at a bottle of whiskey. Not fast enough to get drunk, but enough to stave off the worst of the heat. Not that it was overly hot in his air conditioned cabin, but he could certainly imagine the heat, at least. Yes, it would be a good day, with many profits to be had by all. Or at least, all of those who were working under him.
