D'Tan was the first to answer. "Well, I must say, you're certainly early. I was not expecting you for a week, at least. Regardless, nothing new to report - still breaking the encryption on the Tal Shiar files you brought back."

During her explorations, Mary may find herself noticing a strangely-dressed tiger woman with blonde hair, walking hand-in-hand with another tiger, a male with a buzz-cut hair style. Both were dressed like Jedi - odd for this region, as Jedi were not known to frequent the area.

In a disturbing twist, a heavily-modified
ORS-class Heavy Cruiser with an
Odd Symbol dropped out of slipspace - right over the city. There was no shockwave after the slipspace aperture closed, but the ship immediately began sending out what looked to be recon drones.
