The shuttle lurched as it exited from hyperspace, the white lines becoming dots again and the planet Nespis VIII coming into view. Theron piloted the ship toward the yellow planet, as the ship flew closer he could see the second planet enter the view of the cockpit.

Within a few seconds, Theron could see the orbital station coming into view, a large stream of ship coming and going could be seen from kilometres away. Flying towards it, he could begin to see the shape of the station.

The most eye-catching part of the station was its hull, a stark white in combination with steel blue parts of a that glimmered in the sunlight of its primary star. It had the shape of a large spheroid with a multitude of rectangular, hexagonal and other truncated shapes dotted with yellow and orange lights that formed the sprawling city on the upper side of the spheroid.

Another feature of the station was that at the center of its major axis was a large trench, separating the upper and lower halves. Littered with blue magnetic fields that protected the many large and small docking bays from the vacuum of space.

For the largest of ships where docking platforms that protruded from the trench. Beneath the station where several cone shaped structures that had massive antenna arrays on the ends of them. Flying by the many buzzing ships.

Theron could spot a large variety of the way from Vaya-class scout and Quartermaster-class supply carriers to MedStar frigates and Mon Calamari exploration cruiser that dwarfed his shuttle as he flew by.

Behind him he could here footsteps coming up behind him, the image of Lana looking through the glass of the cockpit at the station from the corner of his eyes whilst tapping a few buttons to send a request for landing, Theron steered the shuttle past the other ships coming and going.

"The space city, one of twenty wonders of the galaxy." Lana spoke in awe as they got closer.

"We're not here for the scenic view miss Beniko. One of our operatives has been reported dead." Jorgan reminded her, trying not to sound too harsh.

"Miss Beniko here already visited one more than us." Theron chimed in before glancing at Lana with a grin. "Hasn't she?"

"Yes, I have." She confirmed, uncertainty in her voice. "But that can wait."

Lana decided to cut off Theron by pointing out where to land, who promptly steered the ship towards the designated landing pad they were given by the stations flight control. Gripping the wall as Theron reduced speed for landing, Lana felt the shuttle rock slightly as it touched down. Quickly exiting the ship and walking down the ramp they watched as the buildings that moments ago, where small now towered over them with the many different ships overhead.

"This way come on." Theron pointed out as he took charge.

"One of the twenty wonders of the galaxy, huh?" Jorgan muttered as he watched his surroundings gaining a small chuckle from Lana.

Moving past a crowd of civilians surrounding the towering apartment building Theron walked past the security guards the local police had set up and crossed the holographic line that ordered civilians to stay away. Looking at the apartment from the outside it seemed normal except for bloodstains on the window. Walking inside Theron could see signs of a fight with the railing shattered and pieces broken off and laid around the stairs.

"Somebody made a mess." He muttered as he walked to the door of the room that the operative had used. Opening it he could see the trashed room, broken furniture littered the room along with bloodstains on the floor. Moving towards the body he could see several stab wounds on his tendons, chest and finally his throat.

Standing up as he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around to see who followed him he could see Major Jorgan and Lana enter the room behind him.

"I'm surprised you came along, thought you were going to visit your family on Dromund Kaas." Theron asked the female Sith.

"I was but it can wait, this is more important right now." She answered, using the force to summon a data-pad from the floor.

"More important than family, you sure?" He pressed lightly, gaining a weak smile from her.

"I'm here now." She stated. "Let's just figure out who killed agent Lou."

"It's clear that whomever killed our operative was searching for something." Jorgan pointed at the open cabinets and closets. "But what?"

"Per my intel, he was watching several imperial and republic personnel that worked together in the past and if possible, recruit them." Theron explained.

"What about our other agents in the field?" Jorgan asked concerned. "They too could be at risk."

"I will inform the commander, you two grab any intel." The SIS agent told them.

Jorgan gave him a nod as Theron left the room, eyeing it as he walked around.

"What about security footage?" Jorgan asked as he looked at the door.

"The cameras didn't see anyone enter or leave and during the attack they were disabled." Lana replied. "Have you checked the bedroom?"

"I'll what I can find." The cathar spoke before disappearing into the bedroom. Waiting a few seconds after he left, Lana knelt next to the body. Looking up again, making sure that the major wasn't present in the room

"Let's hope this will work." She whispered to herself, taking in a sharp breath and closing her eyes before lowering her hand on the agent's body.

With a sudden jolt, Lana felt the force blowing her slightly and opened her eyes. Surrounding her was a black mist, engulfing the room. The agent no longer on the floor but walking around with a data-pad in his hands, typing in a report.

Standing up Lana could see a standard apartment room, hearing a few knocks on the door she could see the agent placing his data-pad on the table and walked towards the door. Lana watched as it busted open and saw a man attack the agent. She looked on as the attacker stabbed his shoulder before dodging a punch, severing his tendons at the same time and kicked him further into the room.

"Wait please!" His cry for mercy was silenced with a gasps and grunts. Walking toward the attacker she could point out a weathered armour set with an imperial insignia on the shoulder pads. Gasping as she felt the force jolt, the mist engulfing her and causing her to fall backwards. Shaking her head, she could see the agent's body in front of her.

"You alright?" Jorgan's voice asked. Blinking a few times before seeing the major's figure in the door way, frowning at her.

"I'm fire, I just... lost my balance." She answered quickly, picking herself up.

"Right." The cathar scoffed, closing in on her. "Care to tell me what you did?"

"It's a force thing." Lana waved her hand dismissively. "And it's none of your business."

"Just because you and the commander are a thing doesn't mean to keep things from the rest." Jorgan pointed at her.

"That's not the reason." She argued, glaring at the cathar. "It's personal."

"Does the commander know of your force... thing..." He trailed off, noticing a small red dot on her sleeve.

Narrowing his eyes as he moved his hand across it, quickly turning his head to the window. Without hesitation, he pulled her down to the ground just as he heard the glass shattering. Jorgan grunted as he heard blaster fire whistling over him, looking at Lana to make sure she didn't sustain any injuries.

"You hurt?" He asked, gritting his teeth.

"Just the glass." She hissed in pain, her hands reaching her side and feeling a warm wet spot on her skin. Lana crawled back to the door when it smashed open with Theron rushing in, blaster raised.

Taking his rifle from his back, Jorgan rolled over before taking aim. Firing a few shots in the direction of where the incoming blaster fire came from, looking through his scope he could see a red flash pointing at him. Gasping as he looked away from the scope from an incoming blaster bolt that shot off his scope. Falling backwards, Jorgan sought out cover away from the window.

He saw Theron help Lana out of the room and noticed the enemy blaster fire had ceased. Slowly rising from the floor, he took a careful peak out of the window, spotting a person from several buildings further clip a rifle on his back. Jorgan watched from afar as their attacker jumped off the roof and gracefully landing on a streamlined silver-grey ship. He barely could notice the blue lights along with a pair of engines that had a pink highlight before it blasted away to the vastness of space.

I quickly wanted to point out a few things that you might have noticed or felt was weird. First off: The MedStar frigate, I know. I know it's from the clone wars era but I like the design of it.

Second: Well the authors note is on the bottom. I would like to hear your feedback on this, whether you would like it to be before or after the story itself. Again, please let me know what you prefer.
