Nyss.
One of the orbits of the Boz Pity system, the planet was known for being unremarkable, with a small population and nothing of note. However, it was not the planet Captain Freem and his crew where after today, no - it was the cargo of a ship they had purchased the flight manifest of.
The Batuu Bantha was an MB-C1 Medium Transport, bloated with cargo, it moved at a sluggish pace through the system escorted by four Z-96 Headhunters as it lazily made its way to its destination a few sectors away. It was a target the crew of the Moguls Fortune considered themselves lucky to be able to hunt.
Because their intelligence suggested that it was packed to the gunnel with vacuum packed Bantha meat, which was in turn being used to hide dozens of camtono worth of Hasian smelt, a precious metal worth a small fortune.
And that fortune would soon be theres.
Cresting around the dark hemisphere of the Nyss moon, the Moguls Fortune would cut an impressive figure in the darkness of space, bearing down with the glare of thes sun behind them so as to make them appear as menacing as possible.
On the bridge, Captain Freem barked commands. "All hands, battle stations. Fighters launch and engage those head hunters, I want them out of the picture. Shields up, full fore - man the gunwhales and keep the topside turrets hot." he instructed, as the bridge crew milled about to meet his orders.
Looking over to his navigator, Dismas, he grinned with glee "Are you ready for your first hunt, mate?"
