((I'm trying to get this guild back up and running so here goes... This topic is for the system of Korriban, and essentially the space around it. If you're flying around Korriban then this is the place to post. Please put your location in bold before posting))

Korriban Space
Nolan was meeting up with a smuggler within the Korriban system. There was lately a lot of dangerous activity there, but he was unduly worried. It was just another customer wanting Tibanna gas. When he entered the Korriban system, however, there was more than a smuggler's ship waiting for him. There was, say, an Acclamator-1 class starship awaiting his arrival. A transmission was opened and the face of a clone trooper pilot was looking at Nolan. "Eh, what do you want?" Nolan said, trying not to look suspicious. "You are under arrest by the Republic forces for smuggling goods." "I assure you there's no smuggled goods onboard my ship." "Your contact has already been captured, and has told us the truth. Enter Hangar Bay 3 for inspection." Nolan thought fast. He could submit to the Republic and serve a long sentence in prison or... "Just land on the planet's surface. From what I've seen on the holonet things aren't good down there. I don't think the Republic would send forces down there just to capture a smuggler," Voot said. Nolan nodded and nudged the throttle to 50%. He would fly past their hangar and before they knew it he could be in Korriban's atmosphere.

Near the Korriban Atmosphere
Nolan inched toward the starship's hangar bay and once he was about 4 kilometers from it he opened up his starfighter's throttle to 100% and charged his shields. It wasn't long until the starship reacted and started firing concussion missiles, laser cannons, turbolasers, and anything they could throw at Nolan, also launching ARC-120 fighters from one of its hangars. "They wouldn't do all this for a smuggler! Am I THAT well known?!" Nolan yelled to Voot while avoiding a splash of laserfire from one of the Republic's fighters. Voot ignored him and focused on taking out the ARC-120s' engines. It was bad being a smuggler during a war. Either the Republic or the Confederation suspected you of smuggling supplies and equipment to the other side. By the time Nolan reached Korriban's atmosphere, his shields were down to 28% and a concussion missile had damaged both his engines. As Nolan and Voot entered the atmosphere the Republic fighters were no longer tailing him... but they were going to land in a dense jungle, with little clearings within it. Nolan controlled the fighter as best he could before it scraped the top of a tree and landed in a small swamp.
