The scene sets on a planet on the galaxy's opposite sides' other outer rim, an opposite dark quiet outer rim where a small number of allied crafts (of the same type or that triumphed in Episode IX) were doing Long Lightyears Patrol and stopping near planets for a while looking over. Awkward flashes were heard and orbs of light are seen as suspicion raises...

Planet Qualombria is a resource-rich Earth-like planet with little dark aliens and human settlers investing or for the stay. It's even has a short oval north pole and a long stretch of a mountainous south pole and all kinds of other weathers in between.

The sound detectors go off in the Citizen's Fleet and some of Lando's men are alerted as they see laser circles slowing down from behind heading to the planet so the team starts shooting towards them as it rightly felt like suspicious activity and a threat to justice recurring. Some of the CF crafts get a shot or few back to rattle their opponents.

They decide to follow through though it's difficult. The team comes to realize the enemies probably already highlighted the landing region rich with resources. A person from the planet enquires to someone. A craft... A suddenly emerged Poe receives this call:

"Where do you think they will go?"

Suddenly it's the Millenium Falcon... A few invisible enemy crafts were identified and shot down left and right revealing their blob-like futuristic mold of design briefly too.

Poe on the radiophone:

"I know this place well and have been here several times; so follow me - just follow my lead. They are after the electromegametals and hyperfuel facilities at Lolo Moram III...."

The man at the radio station looks into the sky...

Another man somewhere else on a radio station calls to Poe:

"You got them! Well a few. Good shots! We need to get to the scene as quick as possible to check out what these things are... I will be assembling my team; you stick at them!"

Poe replies:

"I know I'm trying. It's a little quiet now but we are almost there. Thankfully not chased..." 

Chewie sounds concern in a repeated growl as a beep of R2 is heard...

"What is it Chewie... Soon we'll know... Just about there now!"

As they slow down whizzing through the jungle green around them and the brown below them which is probably a quiet pedestrian walkway of some sort but wide enough to separate all the jungle-style palm trees. As they go through the jungle-like setting together and stop in the distance they see guards and troops engaging in battle.

The Millenium Falcon slowed and close to the quiet muddy ground has now anchored a little behind some trees and gaps and zooms in at the scene. There are bodies arriving at the scene and others already on the floor and at the door, an old man appears wielding a lightsaber it's going through them or what remains of security swiftly. Enemy cyborgs arrived quickly around as a few more behind him revealed themselves too.

It is clear now that the security team has collaped. Then Poe is fixated on the man with a lightsaber with a purple blade. It's an old man (maybe very early 50s or later), a fit one and with old metallic greys around his forehead near long hair and a shiny green eye and for a moment Poe thought of going to catch them.... Suddenly a spacecraft appears formerly invisible and the team enters it quickly after a swift march together.

A conversation before their entry commenced as Poe and Chewie watch on their zoomed mode.

"Where to now Lord Vorrhyymn?"

One of the dark clone trooper-like or stormtrooper-like walkers enquires.

"Rumours is our Lord Zion has made the cross... The next mission would be easier I guess"

The man with lots of energy for his age replies. As they go into the sky after swiftly entering a few crafts... Suddenly a few invisible crafts turn visible alongside them and slowly rise up.

Poe gets up and checks up on the site and tries to find out what happened. A few guards... One played dead and communicates with Poe. 

"We asked who are you? To the man... What do you want? ... This is the answer we got ... After my men refused entry whilst seeking an explanation..."

Recap where a large medium size man takes off his hood and shows grey metal on his forehead near his head in abundance and on his lightsaber hand as he got out his lightsaber and took no for an answer.

...Lord Lazireus Vorrhyymn and I am one of the master pioneers of the new generation of evolution. Your planet would make a great acquisition but we will be friendly next time; we just have had some trouble lately for desperate supplies so we are terribly sorry to bother you. Don't bother making a complaint!"

An evil laugh followed. Poes' eyes look really tense.

More of the planet's defense team arrive at the scene from behind Poe but it's too late as the enemy crafts are flying up slowly. Going stealth as the people on the planet watch them and try shooting too.

...

Poe adds to the experiences at Qualombria whilst informing the temple at Tattoine from the sitting position on the Millenium Falcon on a command and communications desk.

"Hello again there friends of old! I've seen the grand picture I was at the scene this time out. Apart from knocking a few of their crafts down so a few more of their team couldn't reach; we witnessed a criminal possessing a lightsaber lashing upon security, looked high up in ranks too with a small but strong team definitely not stormtroopers; maybe a little 'xenomorphy', very menacing and machine-like in them collectively!

They easily dismantled security after reports of stealth mode entry or attacks where the crafts are not seen or only jet lights from the back or little hints of their presence detected when a good shot is made. A few of our own team were losing personnel easily in just mild contests and had to retreat in battle instead of firing and sometimes all blanks against a hidden enemy! Smaller places of supplies like here have been under recent sieges lately."

Finn gets excited...

"Should have fired the rounds yourself ... the fire of the Falcon unleashed directly upon your grounded enemy!"

To which Poe replies:

"The Falcon was already turned off and we saw them by chance. They looked quite formidable. They were a group and quick to move and before you know it their crafts appeared visible from nowhere and they are in!"

Scholl looks stunned and already looking ready like he wants a battle:

"This is something serious. Never have we heard of such stealth ability before. Where in the galaxy would you expect capabilities like this to be harnessed for criminal activity? A big puzzle."

Finn's input:

"Probably has to be somewhere around there. Those are the vibes reverberating recently."

Rey looks like she is agreeing with Finn and Scholl and begins to lay out her plans relaying back to Poe:

"It sounds gravely serious we will need to get to that side of the galaxy soon as possible then get accommodated where safe and strategic first and foremost upon arrival."

...

A quick skip in the scene and it sees Chewbacca and Poe playing Dejarik (a chess-like game with erected holograms of monsters).

Chewie growls in a sign of enjoyment and optimism as Poe ponders:

"You beat me almost every time! How experienced are you anyway?"

Chewie makes a sound that sounds close to 'very'!
