The mottled blues of hyperspace burst into thousands of white pinprick lights out of The Freebird's viewport. The Freebird, a Cutlass-9 and a TAC transport dropped out of hyperspace at the exact location he'd last encountered the Pirates he'd been hired to eliminate. The idea of wiping out a group of capable fighters didn't make much sense to him so he'd decided to try and recruit them into his employ.
Specifically for this mission, he'd made some modifications to his ship. In place of his two forward light cannons he'd equipped an ion cannon and he'd replaced his ventral turret with the factory tractor beam that came standard on the Lancer Patrol Craft. His purpose for this mission wasn't to destroy, it was to ensnare.
His recent run-in with this band of Pirates ended in his favor, albeit by the skin of his teeth. So, along with the modifications he'd made, he also brought back up. The Scoundrel was accompanied by his business partner and all-around surly Trandoshan, Barlo Drussk, and the spunkiest astromech this side of Tatooine, BG-67, or Beegee to his friends.
Crix was confident they'd be able to handle the pirates, but he wasn't going to be able to expand his power base by continually handling things alone. He'd thrown a holo out through his company Hardlight Independent, and received a number of applicants, but the one that stuck out to him most was a mercenary named Strill.
After looking over their profile he'd hired them on the spot. There was something about hunter's he liked, and what better profession to have on his side for a mission like this.
Crix under, his alias Damon Kross, hailed the hunter, "Keep your eye on your radar. I have a feeling they'll be hitting us any minute."
