11 Elona, 25 ABY - Csilla, Chiss Ascendancy, Unknown Regions
The Leviathan exited hyperspace with the two Jedi and their Chiss companion in the cockpit. The image of Csilla zoomed into view along with 2 of its 3 moons. Its surface was almost identical to that of Hoth's, completely covered by clouds and glaciers. The contrast between the night and day sides was stark. The cockpit was silent as the ship spent the next few minutes on sublight approach. Then, expectedly, the sensors chirped to life with new contacts.
Another minute passed, the planet drew closer and the defense fleet stationed at Csilla began to come into visual range.
(rolls) Renora surveyed the fleet and quickly spoke up, "Guys," she started, leaving a pause as if what she was pointing out was obvious. Akea and Allanar looked up, but did not see anything unusual or alarming. "What is it?" Allanar asked.
"The CEDF doesn't have any Imperial-class Star Destroyers." She pointed to the far end of the fleet line. Allanar had already turned his attention to the sensor display, where he was getting a more detailed reading. "It's them alright," he said, refering to the rogue Imperial Star Destroyer they had tangled with just days ago when the treaty talks were hijacked.
The comm came to life with a deep male voice saying a quick sentence in Cheunh. Renora looked to the two Jedi, awaiting their input on whether to proceed as planned.
