Does this information change decisions?
I am going to move us on tomorrow afternoon.
The pilot enters a code and the ship once again enters hyperspace.
Phineas wipes sweat from his brow, "That was close Sir.
If that planet is our ultimate destination, perhaps we need to approach from farther out of orbit in the next run. I don't think a battle with a ship of that magnitude was wise, especially currently damaged as we are".
"We know where we are going. Perhaps it would be best to pay for passage on another ship. Certainly, there are transports that we can find to use and that are less likely to be attacked. But if they do board such a transport, we will be less able to run." Waylon suggests.
I will need anbastronavigation check tobsee how manyndays it takes youbto get where you are goinf
Dreams unbuckles himself and walks to the bridge.
Why are we in hyperspace again?
"It is better then being destroyed by a warship." Waylon says.
Let me double check your roll.
Waylon begins meditating and seeking any familiar presences on the other ship.

You sense a few pn the ship and on the planet as well.
Ardan steadies himself against the wall in engineering with one hand as the ship lurches back to hyperspace.
"I guess we left in a hurry. I've been to parties like that before," he quips.
"Should I stay down here, Prox, or are we basically in for another long ride?"
"It was a tactical retreat Sir".

How manybdays does that put you away.
oi, wbere were you headed?
Later, in the Luxury Lounge with everyone gathered...
Kol paced back and forth nervously.
"Sorry guys, for skipping out like that. It looked like it might have been an ambush.
"And, how the #$%%^ did those #$%#%s know our NAMES?" He swore aloud.
"Was this Donovaan who was kidnapped perhaps persuaded to reveal things about you all?
They did not refer to all of us on board".
If this was the Major Domo of the hut with them, then he knows us, due to being introduced to the hutt. What catagory of ship was it?
[ooc] The voice was bot the voice of the majordomo, it was diferrebt and far nore siniater. It was not the voice of the inquiaitor either.
"I do not think our ship will be able to reach the planet unobserved, even if we start from far off. So the question is do we fix the ship and prepare for battle or hope to use civilian transports to reach the planet?" Waylon asks.
"The Banshee is hardly a warship. She doesn't have much chance in battle without some significant upgrades," says Ardan.
"We may be able to hire a pilot to take us back in a different vessel. Problem is that if these folks are serious they're going to intercept and search unknown ships, and you can't buy that level of loyalty from a pilot for hire."
To Ardan's question Prox shakes her head no, "No, we are in hyperspace again. So our work here is done for now."
In the lounge she listens to the situation and says, "Well since only a few of you are known, perhaps those of us they do not know can infiltrate the world, get the information needed and return to form a more complete plan of action. Perhaps even enact the action, should a quality opportunity present itself to do so."
Phineas nods at Prox's suggestion, "That's a pretty good idea. Perhaps have the Banshee off world but within some sort of long range communication with us?
Though I suppose part of the problem could be, is it the ship itself that contains our target to be rescued or the planet itself?
Maybe our Jedi companions have some insight that can be added? I'm not sure how that all works truth be told".
As I have asked, what was the class of ship that confronted us. If I knew that, I might be able to shed some insight.
"Hey yeah, let's pull up the scans on that ship." Kol said, punching some buttons on the main viewer.
The reason that I am asking, is that I saw them unloading Donavaan onto a Diamond Class Cruiser. If that is what accosted us, I suggest we work a plan to get aboard to get our wayward Padawan.
Waylon stays seated and asks, "Do we have any idea how dangerous the other ship is?"This is the information from the wookipeida page for a basic one of these ships
In the Force he sees the Anzat and the Falleen leading Donavaan away to a ship, it seems like a Diamond Class Cruiser

Here is a link to tbe ship.
I guess now that we have time to think about it, unless thye go into hyper to leave.
I think 11 days?
I guess now that we have time to think about it, unless thye go into hyper to leave.
It looks like it was 12 from Cloud City, 11 to the new planet and then 8 from this last jump for a total of 30 days.
Any course of action or discussion by the group?
"So then, it's the ship and not the planet itself that we need to infiltrate...
Perhaps we need to find a ship with some stealth capability. Is this something that our benefactor could perhaps help with?
Or perhaps, we try a different tactic... do we know if these foes have placed any sort of bounty on your heads or on the Banshee itself?"
A bounty, I don't know. But if they were to contact the inquisitors, we would be beset so fast, our hyperdrive would be still spooling up.
"I am not sure where we would check on bounties. But we could try and get on that ship. It would be highly dangerous." Waylon says.

"If there are bounties, perhaps the new team members can "turn you over" as a way to infiltrate".
Problem with that Piston, is I do not want to give up my weapons
I guess we cannot hyper in right beside him to board.

"What if we hand over replicas and keep your actual lightsabers".
Piston contemplates, "Unfortunately Sir, my training in computers in general is the novice level, I don't trust my skills to pull off that admittedly daring and inventive maneuver".
"I don't know if we have a great way to do this," says Ardan as he rubs his chin. "Infiltrate on a shuttle? We'd have to do something to distract them if we want to get aboard without them noticing us."
Kol paced restlessly, clearly without any idea as to how to proceed.
Then...
He bolted upright from a deep sleep.
He went to the conference room and started drawing out a plan.
Later he stepped back and looked on the sketchboard.
He turned to the others.
"What if..." He asked feverously, "We adapted a torpedo warhead into an Ion warhead. We either charge in and hit them point blank, or maybe fake a surrender and surprise them.
"Wham!" He barked, slamming his fist into the table.
"We disable their ship, we board them, rescue the kid, and we're out of there. Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll get more info on this major-domo, or whoever it is who kidnapped the kid in the first place."
He stepped back.
"OK, what do you think?"
Phineas contemplates Kol's idea, "Would that ion warhead get through their raised shields?"
