Today was a good reason for Pellios to decide to always sell quality merchandise. The Devaronian was the one responsible for selling the HMP gunships at auction awhile back. Now by no small amount of coincidence was he flying with the droid vessels on a mission to raid the Black Sun's vaults. Another team was already taking out the leadership of the criminal organization but it was up to Pellios and his Toydarian companion to comeplete their half of the job here on Mustafar.
The heat was not an issue for the Devaronian. He was capable of withstanding high temperatures and Mustafar's ambient heat was not as bothersome for Pellios as it was for some. Inside his custom YV-865, the Gackling Bandara, the temperatures were better than they were outside. But the HMP gunships would not be uncomfortable in the atmosphere of the volcanic world. Though they would need to fly a little below their maximum speed to keep their aging engines from overheating.
The group of ten gunships and the light freighter were keeping low to the ground to avoid long range detection. They were quickly approaching the underground cave system. The Black Sun were known for having starfighters of all kinds but they would have limited usefulness in the close quarters of the underground caves. This also meant that Pellios and his companions would have limited room to maneuver but that was something both his ship and the droid gunships excelled at.
"Keep an eye out for cloud cars. All units check in. How are we looking?" He called out over the short range comms. +Unit 1 standing by+, +Unit 2 standing by+, and so the confirmation went until all of the HMP gunships confirmed they were ready. Hopefully @Vako Yizok was as well. If everything went according to plan then this would be a great haul and the Black Suns would be one less source of competition.
