Korriban, the heart of sith and power of the dark side, is the planet where a Jedi was sent to face challenges and tests, without falling to dark side. This test was given to the Jedi, who use to be a Sith long time ago, and this is his only way to become Jedi Knight.
The Jedi Council decided to set this path for the thirty years old rattataki padawan, who never managed to reach the rank of a Knight, because his dark past with the sith prevented him, or maybe it was just his nature all along. But the padawan never returned to jedi, and nothing was heard of him for few months.
The Jedi Council began to believe that sent padawan was either killed, or fell to the corruption again. To discover his fate, they asked a willing crew to investigate the case, and follow the padawan to Korriban. And the only way in is either to join them, or to make it look so. Crew of the Vigilance Beacon decided to accept this mission ...

*Incoming holo call* "Hello Master Lin'drala are you reading me, any crew of the vigilance beacon please respond, if you are reading this please meet me on Korriban surface I will forward my co-ordinates now."

With the The Vigilance Beacon en-route to Korriban Lin receives the message from her old friend and Mentor. She plots the co-ordinates into the ships navi computer and then gathers the crew for what may lay ahead.
*when crew is gathered* "The last mission we fought on was long and hard, people were injured and a good man lost his life, this time we shall learn from our errors and improve on our mistakes, take heart all of you for the homeworld of the Sith lay ahead, a place of darkness and whispers of terror, we must stand face at the wake of the coming darkness and stand true together."

"Yes, about that. How are we going to reach Korriban's surface without being shot down. It's one of the most protected planets of the sith." Barracudas remarked. "Even if we somehow succeed in passing their orbital defences. How are we going to scout the Academy? We can't just enter, look around, find the Jedi and leave again without someone noticing us..."

"Well Perhaps our new friend will be able to help us with that, afterall both Zemalia and this other Jedi have managed to reach Korriban surface, though all I got from Zemalia was co-ordinates... Perhaps it is a trap." Lin thinks for a moment then turns to the Dread agent. "What would you suggest?"
"It is really simple if you already have a person on Korriban. All what she has to do is to get you landing access." Dread Agent replies. "Send her to a docking bay where she has access to terminals. There you control the permission of all ships that can land or leave planet. But if she already sent you coordinates, perhaps she has already done clearance for this ship. If she did not, she better do that without being caught. Another way is to call them and ask them nicely to let us pass. But that seems stupid if you are not skilled with words."

"If you say so Master. I'll set course to the coodinates. But be prepared for the worst. Axo please help me pay attention to the different communication channels. We will have to be extra careful."
"We almost got killed by one sith and now we are going to planet crowded with them. I have bad feeling about this." Axo takes his seat in cockpit and starts working on his console. "Just so you know, my piloting skills are not high for fighting fleets of sith, so let's just hope everything goes according to plan, and I hope you have plan B in case we are marked as hostiles."

"I'm sure that our skills put together, will be enough to avoid any problems. We made it this far already and we have tackled all the situations that arised. So let's continue doing so." Barracudas says to try to inspire everyone.
Lin smiles at Barracudas. "As always an inspiration young padawan, I see one day you will become a great Jedi Knight." Lin prepares herself she clears her mind of the argument with Axo and any other doubts that may try to way on her resolve.
The Vigilance Beacon exits hyperspace and enters the system of Korriban. The ship is still away from scanner detections or eye visual of the space blockade. Now the mission lays in hands of Zemalia. She is at the docking bay near Sith Academy. The elevator gives her three options to chose which docking bay she wants to go and secure arrival of the Vigilance Beacon. She can attempt to smuggle them in as sith, as imperial force, as slaves, or at the cargo without sith noticing their arrival on the planet.
Zemalia's Options on the Elevator:
1. Sith Docking Bay for users of the Dark Side of the Force. This docking bay has terminals that control landing and taking off for sith apprentices, sith lords, and other force users of the dark side. Security has force users who are immune to force mind tricks, they have decent awareness and force sense 2. Imperial Force Docking Bay This docking bay has terminals that control landing and taking off for imperial agents, troopers, and other empire forces Security does not have force users but has strong willed security with good awareness 3. Slaves Shipment Bay This docking bay has terminals that control landing and taking off for slaves who serve the sith and empire to survive Security has normal bullies who are easy to trick with force or sneak bay 4. Cargo Docking Bay This docking bay has terminals that control permission of landing and taking off the cargo ships, such is weapons and others resources. Security has no force users on this level, they can be force tricked, but they have high awareness.
The Elevator takes Zemalia to the Sith Docking bay. The Elevator is about to open, and she will find herself surrounded with imperil security, and many sith. How does she wants to exit the elevator?
Zemalia arrives to Sith Docking bay. When she exits the elevator, she is noticed, but just as any other sith with hoods, she is seen as one of them. Some imperial troopers that pass bay even give her a respectful nod. In the distance ships are landing and taking off, and in front of them are rooms. Each room has two imperial operators, each one of them working with a terminal, this is what Zemalia could sense. Every room is closed and guarded by an imperial trooper.
Zemalia makes her way to outside one of the rooms. She approaches the guard who is at the door. She speaks in an imperial accent. "My apprentice is due to be arriving in this hanger bay, I request access to ensure her arrival will go undisturbed." her tone is one of extreme seriousness, she remains hooded as she speaks. Both of her hands inside the sleeves of her robe.
The trooper salutes Zemalia: "Yes my Lady, let me open the door for you." He presses button on the door and lets Zemalia in, the door close behind her, and the door can be opened from inside any time. Two operators inside, male and female humans, notice Zemalia enter their work space. Male: "My Lady, how can we help you?"
Zem gives a silent nod and makes her way slowly into the room, each steps she takes carries with it the pride of a Sith lord. "My apprentice recently contacted me, she will be returning from a personal errand I sent her on ahead of schedule, the ship she is arriving in is... Not the usual transport, I require immediate permission for her to land, if you would clear the docking codes."
Female: "Yes we will do it right away." The operator turns to the terminal and begins to work, she makes a pause then to ask Zemalia a question "What is the ID code of the coming ship? I need to find it on the list to clear a landing zone for your apprentice."
Zemalia looks down for a moment... "I told you the ship was unexpected, I have no time to tolerate this incompetence." Zemalia suddenly closes her eyes she uses force choke on both the operatives.
Both operators are holding for their necks, unable to press alarm button or to scream for having no air. In fear for their lives, male somehow was able to speak up: "Yes .... my lady ... we'll do whatever you ask, please show mercy" Outside of the room a sith is passing by the trooper, he stops for a moment and looks at the door, where Zemalia is behind them chocking the operators. He shrugs and continues his way.
Zemalia opens her eyes she looks at both of them as they choke helplessly before her... "I'm sorry" she quietly whispers. Her hand suddenly goes from a choking motion to a tight grip snapping the necks of both the two operatives. Zemalia accesses the docking bay console registering a docking arrival for the Vigilance beacon to land.
