"What was your name again?"
"Ahsoka."
"Well, Ahsoka, Mandalore is chaos right now. These two Zabrak guys who claimed to be Sith were rescued by Vizla. They were brought to camp and nursed back to health. Vizla and I talked to them and they wanted to help us take over Mandalore. They went and killed the leaders of several crime families to gain their allegiance. We used them to gain control of Mandalore. That's when things fell apart.
"Kenobi got here. He and the Duchess were captured and the Duchess was murdered. She'll have been dead a year ago tomorrow. The Sith master then dueled Vizla to the death and won. I was furious that an offworlder was going to rule Mandalore. Me and a couple of others left right then and there. They have been searching for us since."
"Oh, I had no idea. I'm sorry about the duchess, I can tell you were close. She was a good friend of mine. How can I help you?"
"We need to kill the Sith in charge. I believe his name is Maul."
"Hmmmm.....Maul.....Where might I have heard his name before?"
"He had some huge issue with Kenobi, if that helps."
"Yes, I remember him now. He was around during the Battle of Naboo. Huh, I thought he was killed."
"Apparently not."
"Ok, so how do we get to the surface?"
"We go as commoners. Come, there is a little spaceport on the other side of our moon."
