Breaker of Chains
It was only going to be a matter of time until the trail of scavenged pirate bases and decimated slaver posts was discovered, a long and bloody trail that stretched across the Outer Rim. None of the stations or fleets that had been attacked were all that major or noteworthy of course, rather it was the sheer amount of them that had been clearly raided by some seemingly organized force that warranted investigation. Soon enough the rumors of disappearances among the criminal underworld had reached the Core Worlds themselves and as such it wasn't long until one of the patrols hunting for remnant pirates spotted a civilian vessel.
In particular, a civilian vessel belonging to one Holo News Network.
Once Alisteri had been alerted of the interloper his orders on what was to be done with the craft came quickly and without room for error, and as such the patrol was eager to broadcast a welcoming and friendly transmission to the news ship. After some correspondences and arrangements were made and agreed upon, Alisteri found himself aboard his ship the Altorius on route to the agreed meeting location. A neutral and unassuming part of space that allowed neither party a home advantage should things turn sour for one or the other.
Admittedly he was reluctant to trust the word of anyone based out of the Core Worlds but he had come too far to back out now. Besides, he knew well enough that both his ship and its crew could handle themselves in the event of an unforeseen emergency. So long as his insistence on no Jedi or other Alliance personnel being present had been respected then he doubted there would be too many issues.
With a shudder the frigate exited hyperspace as the dazzling blue gave way to an endless sea of black intermixed with distant glows of far off stars. Alisteri regarded the scene before him for a moment before issuing an order to the bridge crew that he stood behind. "Scan for our...acquaintances and send them a message when you find them so that we may arrange a docking maneuver. Keep all weapons and shields off for now, no need to scare them off."
