Vetera's POV

Obi-Wan, Captain Rex, Anakin, Captain Cruiser, Ahsoka, Krux and I were headed to Zygerria to see if we would be able to find any leads on the missing Togrutan colonists.

"It looks like Zygerria is a popular place these days." Anakin comments, he, Rex, Obi-Wan, and Cruiser were wearing Zygerrian armor, while Krux and I were going as Mandalorian bounty hunters and had repainted my armor and his undercover Mandalorian bounty hunter armor. We each had dragon skulls painted on his right shoulder and my left shoulder in black, while my armor was painted silver, his was painted midnight blue. Ahsoka would be going as a slave. We were seeing a lot of ships going and leaving Zygerria.

"Hm...whatever is happening, it is attracting plenty of high-class...scum." Obi-Wan says as he crosses his arms over his chest. I feel the ship landing and I see Ahsoka leave to go get dressed in her heiress clothes. Anakin, Rex, Cruiser, Obi-Wan and I begin walking toward the landing ramp, holding our helmets.

"Let's just hope the information our spies gave us about the queen is accurate." Anakin says as he adjusts his gauntlets.

"Remember, i'll keep her occupied while you locate the missing people of Kiros." he continues as Rex hands him his Zygerrian helmet.

"How do you plan on keeping the Queen occupied?" Obi-Wan asks as he, Anakin, Rex, Cruiser, Krux and I pull on our helmets.

"Well, *chuckles* with my magnetic charm of course." Anakin replies with his usual smirk.

"Oh, yes, of course." his old master says as Anakin grabs his lightsaber.

"Hold onto this, will you buddy?" Anakin says to R2, who beeps and extends one of his limbs to catch it as Anakin tosses it to his old friend, who catches it, Obi-Wan does the same and R2 catches it as well.

"R5, can you hold onto mine?" I ask my astromech friend, he beeps in affirmative, extending two limbs to catch my sabers and I toss him my usual ones and take two replacements that in my cover story I took from a dead Jedi. Krux had a smiliar cover story, only he took his during a fight between him and a Jedi.

"R5, you hold onto mine as well." Krux says as he gives R5 his usual saber. Ahsoka joins us as the doors open and the ramp lowers.

"Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?" Ahsoka asks in an outfit that covers her head, face and the rest of her body.

"I tried it once, I wasn't any good at it. Besides, the role of Master comes easily to me." Anakin replies as he crosses his arms over his chest plate and has his signature smirk on his face.

"Really? Well, this time try to be convincing at it." Ahsoka says and I disguise a chuckle as a cough. We walk into the capital and I walk beside Krux.

"Ugh. How can a civilization this advanced still practice slavery?" Ahsoka asks as we walk.

"It makes them wealthy and powerful at the expense of others. Before the Hutts bought my mother, she was sold in a market just like this." Anakin replies, his voice darker and more grim than usual. We see some Twi'leks crossing not too far ahead of us and one collapses. I see who I think is their Zygerrian owner shove his way past the other Twi'leks toward the one who collapsed.

"Get up, you worthless skug!" the Zygerrian says, making me clench my fists and struggle to keep my composure.

"Master...the bonds...they're too heavy!" the Twi'lek tries to explain to his master, but it made the Zygerrian angry.

"Tell that to my whip!" he says, getting the whip out and I cringe from the memories and Krux grabs my hand in order to remind me I'm not back at the facility and that I'm on a mission. I take a closer look at the Zygerrian and it's the Prime Minister, Atai Molec. Ahsoka had gone up to him and grabbed his arm to stop him.
