The threat of pirate attack had never been stronger. Such was the frequency of the raids that the citizens and merchants were in near-constant fear. It was almost as though the pirates themselves were the planet's own police force — little came or left without being hand-picked by the greedy members of the Squid Scuttlers. Only the fastest or most well-guarded vessels were capable of escaping and repelling the pirates, which then created a unique market for certain skilled organizations. Private military and mercenary groups had never been in so demand as now, offering their services in protecting trade shipments or other valuables for high sums of credits.
Having become bold beyond reason and overly cocky, the Squid Scuttlers had even taken to practicing their effective hit-and-run tactics on Imperial vessels. This elicited the wrath of the governor of the aquatic world, who was unable to mount a full scale assault on the local pirates with Imperial strength. However, the combined strength of the private military corporations was at his disposal — and the coffers of the governor were deep indeed. Mon Calamari would be freed. Boarding his Imperial shuttle, after having asked for an audience with the leaders of the mercenary groups, the governor had begun his flight to the location of the meeting. As a token of goodwill, the mercenaries had sent a few of their own highly trained escort fighters to defend the shuttle against any potential attacks. And attacked they were indeed.
"Squid One to Squid Two," Devrim Wolfe relayed to his wingman. "We're closing in on the target, accelerating to attack speed." Pushing forward the thrusters of his RX-4, the distance to the Imperial shuttle closed quickly. On the tactical readout of the stolen pirate starfighter, a hologram of their target and the escort fighters materialized and illuminated the cockpit with a light blue glow. If all went well, this would be a quick hit that would have a huge effect on the system. Though many might not see it, this would be a blessing in disguise for the citizens on the planet below.
