| A quintet of Trandoshan Dropships exited hyperspace at the "Shrine" world of Amaltanna. They immediately scanned the area and pooled their Data in order to identify any civilian merchant or transport vessels carrying pilgrims to and from the formerly "Impregnible" fortress. A pair of the ships would begin to skim down through the atmosphere toward the landing area where the civilians congregated before going to the Fort itself to mourn for the dead. All the ships shields and weapons would be fully charged and would remain able to engage at a moments notice.

| While it was past the time of the Clone Wars remembrance, Amaltanna did draw small crowds from time to time, either people wishing to see the once-'Impregnable' fortress or simply those wanting to see a historic battle site or even reflect upon the war and what had been lost and what had been gained. There were a number of transports, shuttles and freighters there, none exceptionally armed, and no military presence to speak of.
The visitors were not exclusively Lorrdian in nature; there were those from a myriad of worlds from across the sector, and some from outside as well.
The civilians down below might look up in curiosity, depending if the dropships came in at high speed, but small transports landing and taking off were a common sight, so there was no cause for panic yet.

| The Transports in the atmosphere would skim down and across the landing field where all the scattered Lorrdians and itinerants were scattered. Each disgorged 8 Trandoshan warriors down rappelling wires. The warriors spread out choosing the largest transports and moving to seize the largest four. Brandishing concussion rifles and heavy blasters at the civilians they would likely quickly be able to take the vessels over.
The two drop ships would then slow close to the monument and descent to the ground. Their loudhailers would address the crowds "Citizens, there has been an emergency in the region and evacuation is advised immediately. Return to your ships in a quick and orderly manner.
The three other dropships skimmed down into the atmosphere. One took up station above the landing field and broadcast a wide jamming beam over the area to prevent comms getting out. The other two landed another 16 Warriors with orders to seize eight smaller transports. The two dropships would then land on a hillside overlooking the landing field and apply further jamming beams, powering up their weapon systems in case any civilian fancied himself a hero. Attention was paid when choosing the ships to take over to pick ones owned by Lorrdians or Ethnic Lorrdians, ships from other worlds were generally ignored.

| The vessels which were raided by the Trandoshan forces were indeed easily taken over, with likely only a pilot or pilot and co-pilot waiting for the people to return. As such, return hostilities were largely non-existent.
The populace on the ground were taken aback by the strange nature of the ships, but people immediately began running and heading back to their ships; hardly in quick or orderly manner, but at least to get back to relative safety, or so they thought. There were no people who would attempt to be heroes; civilians were primarily concerned with their safety and the safety of their families and did not quite take the time to stop and think about what truly might be going on.

| The Trandoshans would take up positions in the cockpits of the transports they took over, a dozen in total. Once loaded they instructed the pilots to take off and follow the given instructions in exchange for a promise of release for them and their crews (while informing them that their passengers would become enslaved). The Trandoshans aboard generally would remain within the cockpit or other areas out of sight so as not to shock the passengers.
The Dropships would lift off, heading to rendezvous at the jump point. Sedative gas was attached to the ventilation system of the passenger compartment on each vessel and silently the passengers would be lulled off to blissful dreaming oblivion for now. All in all several hundred mixed humanoids had been taken, with around 90% Lorrdians or of Lorrdian descent, the dozens of other loaded vessels on the ground would find themselves confused at being ordered to board then seemingly given no further orders.
As soon as possible the vessels dusted off would enter orbit with the Trandoshan dropships and then leave orbit, bound for Hutt Space (initially), each jumping as soon as possible and synchronising speeds for a uniform arrival.

| It was considered an oddity for those below who simply sat and waited; likely many would head for space, but it would be a good hour or so before any authorities were actually contacted, with nobody truly taking the time to determine where the ships that had been taken headed to. By the time anyone noticed, it would be too late for anyone on-board the ships in question. However, it would be a point to raise eyebrows that, when the eventual stats came in, it was largely Lorrdians who were missing.
