*Shala chuckled.*
"It seems the empire is getting impertinent. They are building a shipyard here on Nal Hutta. They think Graka will protect them, but Graka is weak. My spies tell me only 100 stormtroopers are at the complex. You should be able to wipe out the garrison and take over the facility..."

Lone Starr began to calculate to himself many things, the enemy troops, his troops, and the area he was assaulting.
"I have a few questions for you about this as every bit of information will make this mission even more successful. First I am curious as to this facility they are building, has the space based part of the shipyard been constructed or just the ground assembly plant for the engines and whatnot? Who is leading the stormtroopers, as well as this Graka you mention. Also what fortifications have they implemented?"
He made sure to be thorough with his questions as one missing piece could spell disaster for all of his men.

"The orbital facility is nearing completion and the ground facility has been operational for sometime. The only reason I haven't acted yet is because I want to make use of it... As for the garrison commander, we do not know. Graka is my main rival. They have some minor fortifications at the plants entrance, but they have yet to begin construction of rear fortifications. Any more questions?"

Lone Starr looked to the Mandalorian to make sure he got all the info. The man nodded to him and then Lone Starr looked back to her and said,
"For now that will be all though in the future I may inquire more about this Graka fellow. Your will shall be carried out."
He beat his fist to his chest once as a salute and turned to leave the palace with his two troops right behind him.

Lone Starr along with his two troop leaders and the Imperial Commander arrived at the gates of Shala's palace. Lone Starr and his men slept on the short trip back via transport so they were ready to go. As he hit the door with his fist he wondered what was next. While he had a sour taste in his mouth from working for a previous Hutt he felt some loyalty to this one. He stood awaiting someone to open the door.

*A young female human answered thee door. She smiled at Lone Starr.*
"You a regular, or just another scumbag bountyhunter?"
*As she spoke, her hand went to the butt of the BlasTech DL-44 she wore on her hip.*

While the female's face was a welcome site, he was here on business. He grabbed the Commander's head and tilted it toward her saying,
"I dunno, you tell me."
He had a smile when he said that so as to not sound like a complete a-hole. The Commander was trying to say something under his muffled breath but quickly found the Mandalorians backhand to be quite the sleeping agent.

*Still wary, she stepped aside.*
"I didn't know Shala had a bounty on Imperial officers."
*She kept her blaster ready, but walked beside Lone Starr.*

As he dragged the man passed her he said,
"Oh no, no bounty, more like an added bonus."
He continued on his way to Shala's throne room. The Mandalorian checked over his shoulder at the woman noticing her hand close to her weapon. It was funny to him how she thought she could stop the men, but he commended her for at least being willing to try.

*She thingyed her head at Lone Starr.*
"So you're not a bounty hunter? I figured you were one of Shala's contracts, but what are you then?"
Her hand relaxed alittle, but stayed ready in case it was a trick.*

He laughed to himself momentarily,
"Oh no, bounty hunters are specialized in one thing, bounties. I, my dear, dab into everything. I consider myself a mercenary if you want to be politically correct. I go where the money is and at the moment it is with Shala. What is it you do?"
He tried to keep as professional as possible, his mission wasn't done so he couldn't relax just yet.

*The woman relaxed totally. She emerged from the shadows, revealing her full face for the first time. She had firey red hair and deep green eyes, she was young, perhaps in her late teens or early twenties. She was cute, but not necessarily beautiful. She smiled shyly at Lone Starr.*
"I'm a smuggler for Shala. That toad Graka has a bounty on my head so big, the hunters will risk angereing Shala to get at me. That's why I usually stay in the back, but Dak's out on business, so I'm stuck playing door man. I'm Cal Ryo by the way. And you are?"

In a deep booming voice the words "LLLOONNNEE SSSTTTAAARRRR" could be heard. Lone Star looked around curiously,
"What the fu... well yeah as that omnious voice put it, I am Lone Starr, of the Ford system. Don't ask where it is, it was pulled into a black hole years ago. Sorry to hear of your predicament, may I ask how you came to get into it?"

*Cal laughed.*
"You get in good with Shala, you may just find out, Lone Starr. Oh! O Great Shala! Lone Starr has returned. *whispered to Lone Starr* I hate all the ceremony here."
*She walked to Dak's normal spot near Shala and winked at Lone Starr. Shala, well, chuckled. She eyed Lone Starr, then the prisoner.*
"More gifts, Lone Starr? I am deeply touched. Who is this worthless maggot you have brought?"

Lone Starr put his fist to his chest in a salute and replied,
"This was the commanding officer of the factory, Commander Pellet. I tried to pursuade him to join us but the Empire may have their beliefs wedged too far into his mind. I figured a Commander in the Imperial Navy may have some information if it can be......... extracted."
He chuckled to himself at the thought of ways information was "extracted" from people.
