No, I am not looking for a holocron...

Oh good...
because the council wouldn't be happy if i let you get one of those

lets go to kessel!

/\/ This is the Imperial Aquarius Patrol hailing the starship Scrambler, respond /\/

Yes, let's go...

/\/ this is scrambler we hear you i have landing permits \/\

/\/ This is the Aquarius, thought I had lost you guys, the easiest way to get to Kessel would be to drop to half-impulse, that way we would be confused for a patrol ship hauling someone back for questioning, less questions that way. /\/

< I can come up with something for Kessel...but where do I put it?>

/\/ OK dropping down now /\/

*scratches the back of his neck incessantly*

/\/ Just got to be careful that we don't come in along the planetary vapour trail. Could ignite the whole planet /\/

*Continues pacing around his bridge, occasionally looking at the viewer and the sensor screens*

/\/ Nothing yet, Continue on a straight path /\/

/\/Would we not make less of a stir if we used just one ship?/\/

A22969975

/\/ As I said earlier, I am, what appears to be an Imperial Patrol Ship escorting what appears to be a Smugglers ship to Kessel. We are as perfectly camouflaged as two ships can be /\/

/\/Oh I see/\/

*goes to the new thread*

the fact that hundereds of years has passed since the downfall of the empire....

maybe so, it doesn't mean that the imperial ships don't still exist. Those who were rich enough to buy or recreate them, undoubtedly, have done or do.
