The stolen modified gunships dropped out of hyperspace near the republic fleet and seeing how these new ships weren't running any idea it was a surprise when fighters rushed over to check out the new ships.
"Reduce speed. We don't want to seem like a threat." Arc said.
The troopers piloting did as told.
"Unidentified ships. State your businessperson and how you came across those ships." A voice said through the comms.
"This is Captain Arc if the 100th legion. Me and a company of men were recently sent on a mission to escort a group of supply ships to Kuat. Our convoy was attacked and these were the pirates boarding shuttles." Arc explained.
A fighter did a fly by and it was clear the pilot was looking so Arc quickly removed his helmet revealing his face. The fighter did a spin away heading back towards the fleet with the other fighters following.
"Captain Arc you are cleared to land." The voice said.
"Thank you." Arc replied.
The gunship continued heading to the planet and eventually landing in various hangars throughout the city. Jetter was surprisingly waiting for them in a hangar. He was already inspecting the ships as they landed.
"What are you doing here Jetter?" Arc asked as he stepped off the gunship.
"I heard there was a new ship and so I came to look at it?" Jetter replied.
"What do you think of them?" Arc asked.
"These were planned out when added on. This wasn't just some group of rouge clones work. Either they have some of the republic's top engineers or they have more contacts." Jetter explained.
"That's not good." Arc stated.
"Agreed. Also, how do you like the new armor?" Jetter asked.
Arc had finally noticed that Jetter wasn't wearing his phase 2 armor anymore and was now in the phase 2 armor for a pilot. Mostly the same with some minor differences and a new helmet. He'd already put his 100th blue on with the same paint job.
"Not bad." Arc replied.
"The squadron is getting all theirs painted along with a few designs on the fighters." Jetter explained.
"Can't wait to see them." Arc said.
"Word is we're gonna have another mission soon." Jetter muttered.
"You sound excited." Arc stated sarcastically.
"Face it sir. The boys aren't getting much rest." Jetter replied.
"That's the price of war." Arc said.
"But the men won't be able to preform if their mentally exhausted." Jetter countered.
"I'll talk to the general." Arc replied as his comlink began beeping.
Arc pushed a button to answer and instantly the sounds of a women and alien could be heard.
"Captain Arc. Our friend has found intel for us." Reyes's voice said.
"What is it Durge?" Arc asked as he moved away from Jetter.
"Tatooine." Durge said.
"What about Tatooine?" Arc asked.
Whatever was said next Arc couldn't understand and there wasn't a protocol droid anywhere near by. All of a sudden the sound of drums being hit sounded and grew increasingly louder and no one needed to translate what Durge had said. Everyone knew the top criminal crime lord of Tatooine...Jabba.
