Ord Mantell was... really just not where Vander thought he was going to end up. Jedi planet that had become highly militarized and just finished off a war with the syndicates. It was still cleaning up its own mess, which is probably part of what made it an ideal choice for Occidius to set up an enclave.
At least, that was what Vander had gotten out of the information he had recovered. From what he could tell, "enclave" might have been too strong of a word. Maybe safe house was better? The thing was that sector security and military was great for keeping out invaders but the Sith troops under Occidius were sneak and cunning. Vander had had to be the same.
Fortunately, his hunt was backed by Darth Arcanos, which meant that Vander had another fresh face to join him. A fresh face that he hoped would prove capable.
His high level scans during his flyover of the hills in the area near the coordinates he'd received had shown an old mining colony that was long-abandoned. It was the only place that looked inhabitable but the various wildlife had made getting life scans impossible.
Ultimately, Vander had dropped from the Maverick and taken to a small dell while he waited for the arrival of his partner, spending the hours that he had arrived early trying to scope out the area.
The sun was already starting to lower, which should give them the advantage of night, and Vander knew the temperature would drop, causing him to pull his cloak more tightly around himself.
I wonder what this one will be like. The last one was right up my alley, he thought to himself, musing over the explosive options available to him on the Maverick. If Greybeard was actually here then he'd need the explosives. No way Vander could take Greybeard alone or with an acolyte. Maybe with two champions, but even that was a big maybe. The guy had batted off a strike from Arcanos almost like it was nothing, and that... wasn't something to bat an eye at.
