"Such silly, silly pirates." A voice would ring in the heads of all of the pirate crew engaged in their malfeasant actions. Vanessa had been focused on the potential threat of

, yet now things had reached a point she could not ignore. She was angered at the standard Sith troopers, once more reinvigorated in her belief the Dark Troopers were superior forces. Boiling down the issues of the actions the pirates had taken, there were several mistakes that had been created.
The first was the attempt to impersonate Imperial personnel, all of whom operated in the Complex were known by name. The second was the attempt to force an evacuation of their intended prize - suspicious, most of the crew had in fact not left the ship and were currently headed to the bridge and secondary bridge, preparing to override whoever had usurped control of the ship as the vessel was not to be launched for another few weeks.

The fourth was a presumption the reactor would reach overload - automated systems disabled the reactor and engineering teams were dispatched to mend the damage.
A swirl of black energy formed upon the bridge of the Star Destroyer. With a wave of the hand the entirety of the ship went dark as the vessel's systems were backdoored through the complex's own computers.

"You trespass on my sacred grounds, where I know all and see all. You presume that I did not know the moment interlopers appeared in my domain. And you presume my power is not absolute. The damage you have done is inconsequential. Your attempt to steal a ship of mine has failed. It will not operate and you will not be leaving this vessel except bound and chained." She said, giving them a smile. "Your silly friend is even now at the mercy of my herald."
Now is the time to deal with him, Dea. Vanessa's words to her herald were plain - it was time to end the illusion and instead deal with him.
"Have you anything to say to the goddess Onrai, or will you go quietly?" Torches began to cut through the disabled bridge doors - on the opposite side of each stood a dozen
Oppressor-16 Dark Troopers, their weapons primed and their shields active. Once the doors were torched, they would enter and the risk to the pirates' lives would be very high.

A twitch arose on Vanessa's face as she looked at Krag. "Something interesting is happening. Some pirates are trying to steal one of my Star Destroyers. Care to go and harm them?"
