THE IMPERIAL STARSHIP DEVASTATOR, ABOVE THE PLANET TOPRAWA

On the bridge of the massive vessel, Lord Vader viewed the outer void with a meditative calm.
All the pieces would soon fall into place.
Moments ago, he had ordered that the entire sector was to be placed under imperial quarantine. All passing vessels would be subject to monitoring. His sources had informed him that a small force of rebels on the planet were in possession of the stolen Death Star plans. Despite intensive monitoring of the planet's surface, they had yet to make their move. He knew, of course, when they did, Prince Lucas would undoubtedly make his.
He would be ready for him.

THE CORUSCANT SECTOR, ABOARD TANTIVE IV.

On the bridge of the small diplomatic vessel, Prince Lucas viewed the outer void with calm trepidation. Nearby, Commander Antilles was going over the crew manifest. Not far behind them, a group of technicians, assisted by a pair of droids, were making adjustments to a reception circuit on the transmission console.
They were ten minutes away from the hyperspace point. From there, they were to emerge in the Toprawa region, to intercept the plans for the 'Death Star'. After that, they would go to the plane Tattoine to locate Obi Wan Kenobi, and bring him to Alderaan.
"Lieutenant?" queried the commander. "Why is Zoam on this list? I thought he was assigned to Tantive III"
"I'm sorry, I must have forgot to inform you. Numar suffered an injury back on Alderaan. Zoam simply volunteered. Since this was under short notice, I had forgotten to update it for the report"
After a few seconds of contemplation, Commander Antilles responded. "Very well. Make sure it doesn't happen next time"
"Yes sir"
He then turned to the technicians. "How are the modifications to the communications console coming along"
"We've managed to increase the range, and the transfer rate"
"Very good. When we reach the Toprawa region, make sure it is set to receive any outcoming signals.
At this, one of the droids, a golden protocol droid, faced the commander. "Sir, will you be requiring mine or Artoos services"
"Um, no. I want the both of you to assist the group assigned to the barracks"
"Yes sir." With this, both droids left the bridge.
"Sir!" said a helmsman, "We just received word that the Toprawa region has been placed under Imperial quarantine"
At this, the commander looked at the young prince, who contemplated their next move.
"If the range on the transmission console has been adjusted, we should be well outside their scrutiny"
"But the quarantine"
"We could state that we received the transmission shortly before we entered hyperspace, and that it was too late to make an effective change in destination.
"But if they detect us intercepting the signals, they will regard that act with suspicion." Added the commander.
"We shouldn't be in that region for long. We should be there long enough to intercept the signals, and make it to the next hyperspace point"
"Yes your Highness." Acknowledged the commander. Although from his tone, he was not entirely reassured.

As the two droids went to their next duty, they passed Zoam in a corridor. Moments later, there was a shipwide announcement.
"Attention all crew. Prepare for hyperspace jump in thirty seconds. Repeat, prepare for jump in thirty seconds"
At this, the crew made the necessary preparations for the jump. When he was certain he was alone, he quickly examined the device Lord Vader had given him. Judging from what he had learned, the Prince was to intercept a transmission from a rebel cell on Toprawa. He planned to be in the area of the bridge at the critical moment. At this, he smiled at his resourcefulness in getting this far. As soon as the Empire had the information they needed, he contemplated, they would reward him handsomely.
