The pitch black of hyperspace turned into the white and light blue of Hoth in Varcanna’s viewscreen as she exited hyperspace. Immediately she scanned the area for ships. With my luck they’ll be on the other side of the planet. She thought.

Luck was with her however, as several ship signatures appeared on the screen. Two corvettes, several fighters, one shuttle, and…kazuk…an Indicator. Why do I get the feeling that Trazu is on the shuttle being harassed by these ships? She knew time was of the essence right now, but she wasn’t sure what to engage first. I don’t have enough torpedoes to take out both vettes. She thought. But maybe I can cripple that Indicator enough to force it to drop it’s grav well.

Her mind made up, she angled the Gory Teeth at the Indicator, aiming for the rear of the craft. First time I actually fight a Capital ship. I’d never attempt this with the Hunter’s Way. What’s this? They have all their shields focused on the front and top and none on their rear? These guys are very overconfident that nothing will come to bite them in the rear…which is what I am about to do.

A mischievous smile formed on her face as she activated her shields and gunned her ship’s engines to the max. She knew that the moment she started attacking this ship they’ll want to swat her like a fly. With no shields in the back, I can use all my arsenial…

Once she was close enough she opened up and she laughed as one of the engines suddenly decided to explode, starting a chain reaction. That was too easy…Scorekeeper must be smiling on me today. She thought with a broad grin.

“Something just seriously crippled that Indicator!” One of the guards said as he watched said ship suddenly go dead.

“How? The smugglers?” Trazu asked.

“There’s a new ship on the sensors.” Maskis said. “A skipray. ID Gory Teeth.”

“Varcanna!?” Trazu exclaimed. “How the ziss…”

“Who cares…” Asri said. “With that Indicator out of the fight we should be able to get out of here.”

“We still have to figure out where to go though.”

~If Lavality or Trazu is aboard, hear me out.~ Varcanna’s voice crackled over the comm. ~Forgive me for being blunt, but you really need to get your ass back to Kashyyyk space. This person named Miknak as been causing problems with talks between us, the wookiees and the Galactic Coalition. Besides, Coronal Angella is really wanting to know your status Admiral. Now excuse me while I keep these vettes busy long enough for you to get out of here.~

Lavality nodded to herself when she heard that. "I see" she said to herself and sat back in her chair as there ship entered hyperspace, away from Hoth

She contineud to think for several minutes before glancing away. "Maskis." she said and Maskis turned his head. "Yes Admiral?"

Several hours later

There ship burst out of hyperspace and into reguler space, they drifted awhile before several ships suddenly appeared out of no where. There hull color was vastly different from normal Serendivus vessels

They where painted a light black color, but had streeks of gold that ran across the hull in verious directions. Red lines where also present on the under carriage of the ships

The shuttle flew up to the largest of the ships, the massive heavy cruiser that just drifted there for awhle. The docking bay door's parted and the shuttle moved inside, once inside the doors closed and a shuttle landed on one of the many landing ramps that where present in that bay

"Admiral!" Came a stern male's voice as Lavality deboarded from the shuttle. "Set a course for Kashyyyk." Was the only thing Lavality said as she gestured for Trazu and Asri to follow her. "If the Skipray requests landing, provided she followed us, allow her to land."

"Ummm.. is that wise ma'am? Considering what she's done?" The coronal asked but the look on her told him 'just shut up and follow my order'

Lavality arrived on the bridge just as the heavy cruiser, along with it's six frigate and four light cruiser escort jumped into hyper space, there course - Kashyyyk

This part of the story continued in Uniting the Divided

Varcanna continued to pester the vettes until she was certain Lavality's shuttle had escaped with no problems. It was only then she keyed in the coordinates Maskis gave her and entered hyperspace herself, leaving her foes to their unknown fate.

She arrived at the destination not long after Lavality did and took a moment to admire the ships she saw before her before angling her ship toward the largest one. Varcanna noted some hesitantion in the dock master's voice in regards to giving her clearance to land. They still think I was the one that sabotaged their shuttle. Thick headed idiots... She thought as she guided her skipray into the dock.

Rather then seek out Lavality and her brother, she immediately turned her attention to her ship, politely asking for some maintenance tools.

"We have mechanics that could check over your ship for you madam." One of the dock workers said.

"Thanks but no thanks." Varcanna said. "I prefer to maintain my ships myself. By doing this myself I get to know everything about the ship and thus will know if something is wrong a lot faster then a normal pilot."

"Makes sense."

"Also, we are heading to Kashyyyk space correct?"

"That's what I heard madam."

"Good. Let me know when we arrive. I'll be disembarking to return to Trandosha as soon as we arrive."

"You're not going to stay with the Admiral and her personal guard?"

Varcanna mentally winced. She considers 'her' to be a personal guard? Sheesh...they may not know about their true relationsihp to each other, but they sure 'act' like they do. "My mission was the find the Admiral and inform her of the situation in Kashyyyk space." Varcanna replied calmly. "I have completed my mission, so there's no point in sticking around any longer then necessary."

The moment she had said that she realized the stiffness of that reply was very evident and the worker noticed. "Or is it that you can't stand to be around a certain individual that is close to the Admiral?" The worker asked plainly.

"What goes on in my personal life is none of your business human..." She snarled, her green eyes narrowing. "Just make sure I am informed of our arrival in Kashyyyk space."

"Understood madam..." The worker said, a little fear in his eyes.
