Stars wheeled all around as Austin shifted his thrusters to full speed in his red and silver Chevalier-class starfighter. Joining him was a Lieutenant of the Republic Army, a Deucalian named Talos Barrenfist. Though the Jedi had little time to learn about the man before jumping into the cockpit of his fighter, Austin had great faith that his wingman would be a more than capable pilot. "Doesn't seem like the thieves have gotten far," the field medic relayed over the comms to his companion, twisting a few dials to adjust the frequencies. "Hopefully we'll be able to apprehend them before they make the jump to lightspeed." His starfighter was not equipped with a hyperdrive, and he knew it would take far too long to find an available hyperdrive ring in the busy atmosphere of Corellia.
The astromech embedded in the left wing of Austin's ship beeped and whistled a few reassuring lines. "Yes, M6, the carrier's been tied up by the traffic around Corellia. Thank the Force for ecumenopolises," he replied, peering out of his cockpit again to get a full view of the carrier they were steadily approaching. Though initially Austin had many questions about why the thieves stole such a large amount of medical freighters in the first place, he realized the answer was likely as simple as greed. Once stolen, the ships could likely be stripped down or retrofitted as smuggling ships. He let out a sigh, immensely disappointed there were people out there who would steal medical equipment for their own gain. Some certainly had no morals.
Proximity alarms began flashing on the medic's console as the two approached ever closer to the carrier's snail-like speed in comparison. "Careful — I'm sure these mercs have a squadron or two to defend the ship. They'll likely retaliate at any moment." Regardless, the Jedi and Lieutenant would be retrieving those stolen ships today. "May the Force be with us."
