Verse entered the atmosphere of Arda I on the borrowed Imperial ship. It was a little larger than her personal ship; able to carry the rest of the crew she had gathered for this mission. She knew enough about each of them to know they were capable. When first requesting to lead this mission, she had stated that she wanted to take the Arda system back under Sith control, and keep it under control. In reality, she saw this as her chance to prove herself, and move up in ranking. It shouldn't be too hard to take over this barren planet; and it could be useful to the Sith empire as an additional base, perhaps where experiments they wanted kept hidden could be performed. Verse was many things, but she was not daft.
She had personally flown the ship here, since she was a pretty skilled pilot and did not trust anyone else, not even droids. She could feel, through the Force, the other three Sith sitting in the small common room just outside the cockpit. She recognized her own apprentice; Sola. She had not taken Sola on a mission since what happened on Dathomir. Perhaps Verse was giving Sola a chance to prove herself. Whatever it was, Verse could tell that Sola was relieved her master did not intend on killing her or kicking her out.
Verse flew the ship with ease below the surface of the planet and into the long caverns and tunnels. Her entire focus shifted to making sure she didn't hit any protruding spires. After a good few minutes, Verse finally landed the ship in one of the largest caverns. The maps were not very accurate anymore, since the caves had been blown up as the Rebels made their escape. New tunnels and caverns had been created. Some of the old ones had remained somewhat intact, but all the old equipment was gone. Now, it was mostly empty.
If her calculations were correct, the sensors from the old base had been reinstituted, but a weaker capacity. They could still hide their presence, but it took a lot of power and there was not much left over to detect incoming ships. She figured there was likely a watch tower on the surface, but she hadn't detected a nearby one in their vicinity. However, it was still likely the entrance of the ship did not go unnoticed, which was fine by Verse. Let them come. That was what she wanted.
She stood up in the cockpit and walked into the common room. "Grab everything you need," she said. Looking around at the fellow Sith, she was likely not the oldest, but that did not mean she was any less capable of leading a mission. If anything, the one person she knew she could trust the most (which still wasn't a lot) was Sola. The girl was strange, but extremely loyal.
