Naijix
He frown a bit at the mention of Padawan, but he kept quiet for a moment, listening to the whole plan before speaking.
-Its all well and good, but there might not even be rebels on that planet, tough, better safe then sorry, also, who’s to play the padawan? You an me Sindor? -
He ask, tilting his head, a shadow covering his face. He wasnt sure the two dark force users would pass for padawan anymore, but well, worst case had been known in the galaxy.
-Also, two padawans without a master would be suspicious, it would be more plausible to have a master and a padawan.-
He shrugged slightly.

Sindor grinned at Najix.
"Well, of all of us you have the best chance of giving the Admiral and Inquisitor a good run around. Plus you've made a career of being unknown. Whilst you are keeping their attention Zorto and I will do some reconisence for 'salvage'. All we need do is ask Lord Vader for a nice new Light sabre crystal for you."
He looked around at the others
"Just my first idea of course, but it plays to everyone's strengths and will hopefully make them come to us."

Captain Kyla Nankor raised an eyebrow at Baran Dur's suggestion, shaking her head.
"...The rebels would never trust bounty hunters, you'd only send them running for the hills. Smugglers sounds like a much better idea, if you ask me", the red-haired officer remarked. "Besides, Jedi are few and far between, aren't they? ...Wouldn't a couple of them suddenly showing up, especially openly claiming to be Force users, raise a lot more suspicion than it would gather trust?"
Commander Rourke, on the other hand, seemed a bit more optimistic.
"That being said", the older man pointed out, "I believe the idea of investigating under cover of anonymity is an excellent one. Zorto's ship would be perfect, too. Very inconspicuous, and it's not like anyone will be surprised that smugglers would travel with a Hutt. Er, no offense."

Though he tried to hide it Wray was proud to have the two officers stating their opinions. Other Imperial Officers were known to quiet subordinates. The opinions of his crew were greatly valued however even if he made it clear he was the ultimate authority.
"Excellent. I believe we could easily make a passable team of smugglers. We would do well to learn more of our enemy than just where they live however, we learn who they are, why they are fighting and turn their strengths against them."

"My concern is that the Admiral and the Inquisitor are very public figures. If the Rebels are doing their jobs right, and the fact that they still exist suggests they are, then they would know figures in the imperial command structure. They should be on the look out for people like the Inquisitor who might be hunting them."
He shrugs slightly.
"I'm quite open to the idea that I'm wrong in this and of course we can do disguises. Ubese or Gand possibly, with atmosphere suits their features would be invisible."
"If we want to go with smugglers or salvagers I have a friend who can put about a rumour of a downed vessel in the Illarreen system. That will lend credence to a group of salvagers snooping around."

Baran nodded as the others went over the plan. Yes, this sounded much better. The smuggler angle would probably be the right direction to take, with the only issue he could think of being... himself. Baran was a well-known and feared figure throughout the galaxy, and given the reluctance of the Talortai to engage in galactic affairs, there were few out there besides him. He'd heard rumors of one in a criminal organization to rival Jabba's cartel, but he knew nothing of that one. "I suppose I shall have to stay inside the ship for most of the mission, if we are to take a more subtle approach," he said, reluctantly. "I would draw far too much attention, both as a Talortai and a force-user. Although, I suppose I might be able to fit into a sufficiently altered Ubese mask..."

Naijix
Naijix raised an eyebrow, but simply shrugged, they seemed to be quite taken into their own plan, he didn’t really care, but he was listening. Smugglers, yeah, he could get into that, but there was still more to the plan.
-So, no more padawan stuff then?-
He asked, making sure. He wasnt in the mood to play the goody two shoes, but Sindor was right, he was probably the best in position to actually pretend to be one. One alone wouldnt raise too much suspicion.

"None taken." Zorto said more than used to it now. Not many Hutts were in his line of work after all.

Sindor went quiet for a moment and then raised an eyebrow with a small smile.
"On a different topic..."
He turned to a vid screen. Lord Vader would be in transit back to the Executor so he would have to leave a message.
"My Lord, a thought just occurred to me. With your permission, I would like to start training a unit of Storm Troopers to act as a back up for us. The troops aboard the Reaper are numerous but unused to fighting Jedi. I believe with the appropriate education and equipment I could create a force more suited to the task."

Baran quirked an eyebrow at Sindor, surprised with the casual nature of his request. Once it had gone through, he spoke up again: "if you wish to train storm troopers to combat Jedi specifically, I recommend we also request a number of slugthrowers. They'll be far more effective, as they cannot be deflected by a lightsaber."

"Slug throwers, sonic and other wave forms weapons, area blasts. It won't help with mind tricks but I have a plan for that as well. That said if you can Mind Trick I can definitely use your help." Said Sindor, turning to the others.
"If you are interested in helping I think we can create something extremely effective."

-What’ll do you have in mind?-
The young togruta asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Oh, you know, me and schemes. Generally this one involves building a better Storm Trooper. Giving them non lethal practice against force powers and light sabre users . Out fitting them right. That kind of thing."
"Of course this is all at Lord Vader's pleasure." He said with a rueful shrug, turning to the Admiral.
"Would you mind if I made use of some of your staff, assuming Lord Vader gives his permission? In order to do this right we will need some very specific people and equipment. So I will need officers who can oversee the selection and procurement process whilst we are taking care of the situation on Illarreen."

"Sindor, how many stormtroopers? I have my own personal team. I'd be more than happy to have them trained to fight Jedi. The are highly skilled and loyal. On that note I should train as well if that's alright."

"As many as Lord Vader will permit. We can most certainly train your personal team, however I have a selection process in mind to try and counter certain weaknesses in Storm Trooper design and a training process your troops may not be comfortable with. As there is no sense in breaking something that works perfectly well I would suggest only the education and armament sections of my programme would be useful to them."
