| (ooc) I'm sort of post-dating this to occur after the Null thread I have with Fenn. Just sort of keeping things in the flow (/ooc) --- A Corellian YT-1300 freighter arrived through the normal shipping lanes to Baltimn. It was known that the planet was blockaded, but the freighter's captain had been paid a goodly sum of credits to deliver a large, sealed chest to Baltimn's government. As he came in on an approach, he opened a frequency to hail the ships in the area, customs and blockaders alike. "Baltimn control, this is freighter Alara requesting permission to land. I have a package for the Ministry of Defense."

| "Wand your petty wittle vessel over there, Alpha 5 Landing Pad." the Neimoidian Portmaster for Murmann City ordered as he lay slumped in his communications couch, feasting on a meal of ground endangered animals along with the eggs of a now extinct avian species. Also entering the Baltimn system behind the YT was a Neimoidian Lucrehulk-class Freighter, which flew ponderously in-system under escort from a Neimoidian Corvette.

| Wanting no trouble and only wishing to be done with the job, the captain of the little vessel flew his ship on the appointed route, under the watchful eye of the customs patrol craft, entering the atmosphere and landing at the assigned pad. Upon landing, the vessel's ramp descended, allowing the captain, a bald older man, and two younger men, his sons, to emerge. The younger men carried between them a large strongbox of some sorts. Cautiously, the captain decided to wait for one of the Neimoidian dockmasters.

| A heavily built neimoidian in full armour, accompanied by a binary loadlifter and a pair of B2 droids awaited the landing. "Whossat den?" asked the big Neimoidian, leaning on the loadlifter "And wheres your cargo den?" he prodded at the box curiously "Iz it taystee?" he asked greedily, having been denied the delicacies of his masters. The Neimoidian Lucrehulk-class Freighter entered a quiet geostationary orbit over Murmann city, and went very quiet as the crews onboard prepared for separation of the core-ship.

| The freighter captain bowed slightly to the Neimoidian guard. "My name is Thomas Polius. The cargo I cannot say. I was given it simply to be transported to the Baltimn government with the utmost haste. The payment for its transport on the sending end has been handled, as well as any fees for the receiving. "Do I need to sign any papers or forms?"

| Understanding at last the Neimoidian's slurred and odd dialect, the good captain nodded slightly. "I was told it goes to..." he paused for a moment, thinking of the odd man's words. "It goes to the Baltimn Defense Ministry, care of Ambassador Jeph Stomwell. Apparently it is a gift to the people of Baltimn." The captain cast a doubtful eye upon the small, but sturdy lockbox. It didn't seem like it could carry much of a gift. "If you are asking what it is though, I do not know. I was simply told it was a perishable item."

| The Neimoidian opened the box greedily and examined its contents, looking for a crunchable snack.

| Inside the box were three items, encased in a smaller crystal lockbox, but easily seen through the clear, yet heavy material. Obviously it was a container that was meant to impress. From left to right, the items were able to be discerned. A lightsaber, damaged beyond repair, a severed hand that was pale now with loss of blood, and a holodisk. The ship captain recoiled involuntarily as he saw the contents, then leaned in close. "That looks... we need to get the authorities in here!"

| The Neimoidian rolled his eyes "Dis iz bein' the archetypal fake deff den ain't it.. Even I not dat stoopid. Choppin off da and and anywun can go on.. choppem off da ead and den day stay ded." the big neimoidian commented, he was stupid, but not that stupid. All the same he opened a channel to the neimoidian command as he wandered off with the box under his arm, towards the Neimoidian Control Tower "Boss, it appened like yoo rekuned, day sents sum and and uvver stuffs." "What a widiculous and wisible waste of our time, get wid of it." The big Neimoidian walked it over to the garbage compactor, tossing in the disc and the lightsaber remains, keeping the hand for himself and consuming it quietly in the shadow behind the compactor where noone could see him. He then returned 10 minutes later to the freighter, picking bone fragments out of his teeth. He pointed his vibro-mace at the captain "Bugger off, unless yoo got bizniss ere which I doubts."

| the captain gladly did so, but he would certainly spread word at every port he landed at in the future of the inept neimoidian security on baltimn. of the message, he cared little for his job was done, but the only result was that neimoidia and baltimn lost its only proof of the death of duke drasek cale at the hands of the rather newly-formed vigilante group calling itself the galactic prosecuters.

| On the other hand, noone knew, noone cared about this new group, the data disc being crushed and then burned with the lightsaber in the garbage disposal. The captain would not know this of course.

| it was perhaps a half hour later when the dockmaster would receive a call from the colonel of the baltimn security forces. he had been informed of the craft and its message by the customs office. "pardon the intrusion, dockmaster, but i was told you received a paxkage for the baltimn defense branch. i'd like to come down and pick it up."

| The Neimoidian Portmaster replied curtly via communicator, not daining to see the Baltimn officer "We did recieve a disc full of pornography and some vawiety of dewanged sexual toy. This is in breach of shipping regulations subsection 3: Import of Obscene material. As such it was destroyed, I twust in future you will keep your perwersions in prwivate and not infwict dem upon my inspection crews.." The Neimoidian then dropped the call and returned to his delicious lunch of poached extinct avian eggs. The waste, having been crushed and burned was finally melted into bars (of the metal present) and sold on to the locals as junk metal and the other materials burned off earlier in the process. As such nothing was left of disc, saber or hand.

| the captain had no way to verify the truth of the neimoidian's words. he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that the dockmaster was lying though. a few whispered communications to the customs officers though and they were willing to cooperate. perhaps two hours later, one of the patrol boats, well away from any of the neimoidian vessels, jumped to hyperspace quite suddenly and unexpectedly. it would follow the last known jump of the freighter and attempt to query the owner for the purposes of investigation.
