Tirowe Gorvay sped across the star system in his space speeder, moving past a Imperial convoy before they even have time to notice his presence.  It was the biggest advantage to the small ship, most radars could barely pick it up if they weren't looking for it.  And these Imperials would never look for a small one man craft in times like these, they'd either be looking for an Alliance armada or a pirate raid ship, neither of which would ever be so small, or alone.<br/><br/>"Sir, there is a ship coming up in radar, one o'clock, in sight in three seconds."  A mechanical voice said through the voice chat.  Glancing in the indicated direction, Tirowe noticed the small attack vessel.  He grinned to himself as he talked back the voice.<br/>"Ok, give your analysis on the ship."<br/>Some what confused, the voice responded.<br/>"Well, judging on its size and the large numbers of guns and the sizable engine, I'd guess it's designed for high speed attacks, kill a ship them move out of range.  Repeat until all threats are neutralized.  This tactic would most likely be used in convoy raids.  The ship itself is a good choice against slow ships with bigger cannons, however multiple enemies in a tight group would counter it."  The voice finished and fell silent, having gained more momentum at the end.<br/><br/>Tirowe nodded slowly to himself, finding only two faults in the AI's reasoning.  D3-A6 had been a recent purchase, a combat drone designed to auto pilot star ships and give tactical advice.  However, the AI was supposedly faulty and was given to much personality, often leading to mistakes from uncertainty and nervousness.  Tirowe bot the droid at a bargain price and has been testing that assessment ever since.  So far, it seemed pretty accurate.<br/>"Correct on all fronts except two, you noted it was designed for raids, but a ship like that would never be able to travel alone. It would need someone else to take the captured supplies away.  Also, you forgot to mention that it was neither Imperial or Alliance, which would mean what?"<br/>D3-A6's voice cracked slightly bit when it responded.  The guy hated making mistakes.<br/>"Well, that would mean they were a private group, either mercenaries or pirates.  Based on the ships purpose, it is most likely pirate."<br/>"Excellent, one last question, would a pirate crew have any qualms working with an ex-Jedi Hunter to take down the Imperial troops?"<br/>A sense of realization was evident in the robots voice.<br/>"None sir, absolutely none.  Especially if you gave them a really good reason to, even more so, if that reason involved money.."<br/>"Exactly what I thought, well done D3-A6."<br/>He couldn't see it, but he was certain the droid was sitting a little straiter its seat in the cargo hold.<br/><br/>"So, first things first, establish a feeling of mutual trust."<br/>"How do we do that?"  The robot said, likely tilting his head.<br/>"Simple, we help them raid the convoy, and give them a whole ship free of charge."  Tirowe flipped a switch and opened up the voice channels with the small pirate vessel.<br/>"Hello?  I know you guys are there.  I just thought it might interest you to know that there is an Imperial convoy up ahead and you should probably raid it.  But first, I'd like to ask you a question.  How much does a AEG-77 transport sell for these days?"
