A lone Lambda starship came out of hyperspace and gently floated towards the urbanised planet beneath it. It would take quite a while to reach the atmosphere and this gave the ship's sensors plenty of time to do the scans necessary. Luckily, no Republic ships had been picked up this far out, but several Black Moon Pirate vessels had. Realising that he would probably be captured for potential cargo, Galor continued to fly his new shuttle on it's path. In no time at all several Black Moon fighters converged on his location. "This is Galor Iram. I am seeking asylum from the Galactic Republic. Admiral Zorko will know of me" Galor announced over the comm channel, which would no doubt be picked up by these pirates and their larger ships.

Dan was on his flagship, the Black Talon, when his comm officer came rushing over.
"Sir, we just recieved a report of a Lambada class shuttle exiting hyperspace. A Galor Iram is on board, he says he knows you and wants to speak with you."
Dan looked up sharply. "Galor Iram? The Admiral from the Galactic Republic?"
"Yes sir. But he is saying that he is seeking political asylum from them."
Dan was startled by the statement, Galor must have done something horribly wrong to be coming to be coming to him for help.
"Well... Um, escort him in. Have him land in the forward docking bay."
He turned to two of his reapers standing along the wall. "Escort him to the bridge. There's no need to guard the shuttle, I trust him. He is our guest, not our prisoner. Refuel the shuttle once he disembarks, I have a feeling he might leave right after."
His Reapers nodded and headed for the turbolift, while 2 X-wings peeled off to guide the shuttle in.
Dan all of the sudden realized that the Republic may be coming after Galor in pursuit. Dan started yelling: "d**n, get Galor in here NOW! I want more fighter coverage for him! All ships to battle stations! All fighters not covering that shuttle, have them prepared to fight off the Republic! Have Galor continue towards this ship, but if the Galactic Republic arrives, divert him into the nearest ship and have that ship jump for Tatoinee!"
2 of his Imperial II-class Star Destroyers moved into flanking positions, while more ships took up defensive positons. 10 more X-wings, 2 TIE Defenders, and 5 TIE Interceptors moved to escort the shuttle in, while several B-Wings followed from a distance.

OOC: Grrr... I hate it when he disappears like this... OOC: Sorry, i thought I'd posted but obviously not. Wednesday was very busy for me though, i apologise,
Galor walked onto the bridge of the Star Destroyer, he still didn't know how the Pirates had managed to get hold of such powerful technology but no matter, it would probably help him while he retreated from the galactic scene and made plans. Noticing that the bridge was a hive of activity, it seemed that an order had been given very recently, and then he realised who had made that order. Stood looking out of the viewport was of course, the leader of the Black Moon Pirates, looking rather sinister, Dan Zorko. " Admiral Zorko, thank you for accepting me, your hospitality is very generous, I'm not sure what i would do without your presence in this region". Galor waited a few moments, that diplomatic talk didn't suit both men, who were soldiers, not politicians. But the content was true, Galor was pleased that Dan Zorko had found the time to speak to him, even though his rank had been stripped. He just hoped that the Pirates wasn't about the sell him off to the Republic he had just fled from. " I am sure that yoy have guessed why i am here, but I'm not here to seek help against the Republic, just a place to stay for a few hours at least so i can make plans. Several officer's died loyally to make sure i escaped, and I'm sure that even more across the Republic would join me if they had the chance. If i can gather support against the Senate, i can continue the war and win it, without worrying about upsetting the greedy and corrupt. If you let me stay here, I'm sure that i can repay you generously once i get the support i need to continue the fight". |

Dan turned and nodded.
"Of course, Galor, you have the full support of the Black Moon organization. Your ship is being regueled and resupplied as we speak. But if I may ask, what happened back there? Why were you shunned when you may have saved the lives on millions of Republicans?"

"War Crimes apparently. Even though i was following the book the senate didn't like me sending in the defence forces to counter-attack". A few moments passed and Galor thought about what had passed, lot's had changed in his life and he was now a wanted criminal, in command of nobody. But that would change. "Soon i shall be heading off to contact some friends in the military, and hopefully my family".

"I see..." Dan was disturbed by these new facts. "Where will you hide for the time being?"

"Well first off, I'm going to contact some friends of mine who should be at Fondor or out on assignment. They are working with the Republic but i know that a lot of them won't be loyal if it means having the military managed by the senate. They are some of the best fighters in the galaxy, with their own ships and equipment". Galor replied, talking about the Special Forces Support Group, and wondering if the Special Forces themselves would be able to get out of Mandalore and join up with him as well.

"I see..." Dan turned and thought for a minute. "Comm, get me in touch with the Renegades." When comm was established, he said "You have a new mission. Escort Galor here to Fondor. See that he makes it there safely." Turning back to Galor: "When you are ready to leave, 4 TIE Defenders will be escorting you to Fondor. They are among my best, you are in good hands. Is there anything else?"

Galor was shocked, he had been overwhelmed by the attention he had been given here, and now he was going to have a full escort to his destination, even though it wasn't really any of the Black Moon's problem. His shock and pleasing smile was shown to all around. "Thank you so much Admiral, I am deeply in your debt. Once i have reached Fondor and gathered who i can, i shall contact you again, i fear that this won't be over easily". Saluting to the Admiral, Galor followed an aide who was smartly dressed towards the hanger where he would begin the next stage of his journey.

Dan turned back towards the viewport wearing a thin smile. He watched Galor's 4 TIE Defenders land in the Black Talon, ready to escort him to Fondor. As he stood, he thought about what this meant for his somewhat neutrality with the Republic. Well, that lasted less than a year. Way to go. he thought. He gave a little sigh and turned around again, and had comm established with the forces escorting Galor.
"Renegade Leader here, go ahead Admiral"
"Make sure Galor stays safe. I have a feeling this is going to be big. The rest of the 6th Special Forces Force will be shadowing you within a 2 minute hyperspace jump, radio if you run into trouble. And be sure to relay your position periodically."
"Acknowledged Admiral. Renegade Leader out."

Galor received word from the fighter escorts that they were prepared and he finished off his pre-flight checks. With his understanding of the controls, he would be able to take this shuttle through more than just the basic flight manoeuvres. Luckily for him, the SFSG should only require contact before they actually move out with him, so he should be able to keep his distance quite far, even surpassing the edge of the system.
The shuttle flew gracefully out of the hanger with four jet black fighters of an odd design swooping up into formattion. With only ten minutes of cruising at a decent speed, they were out of Taris' gravity well and the Nav-Computer's were set, sending them into hyperspace.

Within minutes, the rest of the 6th Special Forces Force had grouped up, and jumped into hyperspace; tailing the fighters that already had jumped. They planned to drop out early, but remain close enough to provide support if needed.
OOC: Galor, you taking this to Fondor?
