Spacelane leading to New Holstice, Perlemian Trade Route
Task Force Aurek
Space was certainly vast, quiet and empty. Expect for planets, stations and nebula, it was a black void, an ocean in the sky. Jontos wasn't much a spacer, through he did have experience in naval warfare-having been on the command staff of an Antarian frigate during the Antar-Gyndine War. Perhaps that was why he was assigned to this mission-patrolling the supply line to a Republic space station being built over New Holstice. Despite the fact that the Republic (and by extension the Jedi) would help defend New Holstice against the Sith blitzkrieg-better then if they stayed neutral-members of the population were....less then amused with the thought of their planet joining the Republic.
According to intelligence reports the various rogues and radicals that called the planet home were trying to disrupt Republic operations in the area. Several convoy's had been either destroyed, captured or damaged while trying to reach New Holstice, something GAR High Command found unacceptable.
Which meant three Hammerhead-Class Corvettes had been sent to patrol the spacelane leading to New Holstice, and wipe out any enemy forces in the area while also protecting a convoy* carrying the most recent shipment being sent to the world.
Jontos was aboard the Hammerhead-Aren Krass, a name that Jontos decided was best not to talk about- as a tactical adviser to it's Captain, a James D. Hetsworth. Hetsworth was apparently a mid-level secretary looking for some more excitement in his life. The Aren Krass was in front of the formation, it's scanners diligently keeping on the watch for any ambushes. The enemy forces in here were mostly starfighters, the only warships in the area being two Picketing-Class Corvettes and one Maurader-class frigate.
"This is the Aren Krass, we are entering the danger zone, deploying fighter squadrons Aurek and Besh." He said over the comms to the other Hammerheads in the convoy. The 'danger zone' was the area were the pirates tended to attack from, a nearby nebula preventing scanners from getting accurate readings. The Aren Krass A-Wing fighters began to patrol on the outer edges of the convoy, ready to report and engage any enemies that dared to approach.
*The Convoy is-One Voruda-Class Heavy Freighters, two Alabaster-Class Escort Freighters and three Bantha-Class Freighters
