A convoi of cargo hauling ships carrying some medicine, contructing materials and other vital supplies, orbited the planet of Corellia. Now and then, a shuttle passed the security check for transferring crew and soldiers for The Sith Order outposts scattered over the surface of the planet. In other words, nothing out of ordinary. Except..
Except a lone Cargo Ferry, diverting slightly from the course, changing its course vector toward the planet. There was a distress signal broadcasted over the network for a few seconds:
<font color=red>"This is an emergency distress call! Our ship is overtaken by strangers! We are all.. arghhh...."</font>
Then, utter silence. The ship started to catch fire. Only radio static could be heard across the channels as escape pods ejected from the ship..

Coronet
At the shadow side of the planet of Corellia, the vast skies looming over the horizon, displayed a spectacle of twinkling stars and distant stellar objects. The flickering city lights of the many tall structures at downtown Coronet beamed out into the night and the sound of jet repulsors rumbling in the streets, added to the ususal traffic buzz. Nothing out of ordinary. The citizens of Corellia had nothing to worry about. Just a normal night..
..or perhaps not quite.
Like a comet, an escape pod streaked across the sky. The white glowing metal structure smashed into a long deserted industrial storehouse at the outskirts of Coronet..
