The Foxtrot Victory soared along the Hydian Way, heading towards the Outer Rim - territory of smugglers, pirates, bandits, and Sith. As the starscape spun around the vessel, stars stretched into infinite lines as the ship passed by them in hyperspace. There was a certain calm to the sanctity of space that on this day was not broken by the chirping of communications or the sound of orders being given about. In fact, there was an almost unnatural silence on the bridge of the ship, due mostly to the fact that there was no crewmembers manning the stations. The small army of personell usually occupying the halls of the Foxtrot Victory were nowhere to be seen. This was a mission that was not worth risking the lives of 700 good men. The computer took care of most menial tasks, and astrometric droids dealt with the rest. One man remained onboard, alone in his thoughts. Seated cross-legged in the center of the bridge, Ajax Flint sat in a state that suggested deep meditation and thought. His breathing was calm and measured, his eyes closed, his face void of all emotions. While he himself had no connection to the Jedi Order, he found some of their mannerisms useful for keeping calm in the face of extrordinary situations. On either side of him sat a creature, both large and ferocious to behold - a full grown greater Kath hound on one side, a razor cat on the other.
A beeping from one of the navigation consoles up near the viewport broke through the silence, signalling the approaching destination and causing the lone occupant's eyebrows to lower, his eyes closing tighter for a moment before snapping open. Taking a deep breath, the man rose to his feet. Dressed in his robes, though with the front open for ease of movement, he had a rather imposing presence as he rose up to full height. The starscape halted it's rotations, and stars snapped back into place, bringing into view the view of the desert planet directly ahead, and the massive array of ships surrounding it - the planet of Korriban, and what looked like both the fleets of the Sith Twins, and of the Emperess herself. There was no doubt that his ship would be detected as it entered on the edge of the system, so Ajax Flint made no attempt to hide it's presence. He was there on purpose.
"This is Ajax Flint of Talus, requesting an Audience with Emperess Sharaha."
