Heading to one of the scavenging locations in the Nebula near sunder point the Crew find a heavily damaged cornelian light freighter without working engines and with holes cut by Jakal borders.
Boarding the ship Aayla is able to get access to the computer core and recover sensor readings from when the ships was attacked. She picks up signals that show small craft attacking the ship. It's engines being disabled and then a large ship arrived and seemingly docked with the freighter, for an hour or so, likely taking on cargo. From there, the larger ship undocks, the smaller Jakals dock with it and the larger ship heads away from the freighter.
Aeon expresses reservations about dealing with Marauder's calling them thieves and murderers. This does not ender him to the crew.
Following the vector of the larger ship the Longhorn arrives at the edge of a sprawling Shatter Glass Field. Jorus spots sensor readings that might be Inheritor ships. Lorne sends out a wide band message explaining that he is an exhile and has important news for his people.
The message is responded to by Sevis of the Tempest Dust Cadre, a small Cadre that once flourished in The Reach.
Lorne and Sevis talk. It is established the Lorne has met members of the Tempest Dust Cadre at an celebration event when several cadre's came together.
Sevis goes radio silent saying he will need to pass on Lorne's message to the elder. During the break in communication the Crew spot small sensor signals that are most likely Jakal fighters. The crew let them do there thing not wanting to raise tensions.
Six Inheritor warriors board the Longhorn via the cargo bay (the crew conceal there own Jakal fighter before they arrive) Aeon remains dismissive of the Inheritors intensions but is put down by Lorne.
Sevis listens to what Lorne has to say, when he says he has made contact with a lost Inheritor tribe and rediscovered two cumbrances he takes him seriously and despite his reservations agrees to take him to the Elder, they agree that it is an unorthodox time. Jorus notices the warriors are malnourished and gives them some supplements from the ships medical supplies.
The Lonhorn follow the Jakal fighter to a small Marauder Flotilla hiding in the Shatter Glass field. One bulk freighter 120 meters in length, old and heavily patched.
One space frame with another dozen Jakals and a space frame with a cargo pod which must be for Sevis's warriors. The freighter also has hooks for Jakals so it can act as a mother ship of sorts.
Aayla docks the longhorn.
Before leaving the ship Aayla gives LH-0 instructions to ignore and request from Aeon.
Jorus, Lorne, Aayla, Val and Dr Mentzer
Aboard ship it is cramped, heavily patched and equipment is not in a good condition. The crew see families, children, warriors civilians eking out an existence, the cargo pods have been turned into living quarters, there is no privacy and it is moist and the air filters smell off.
The Crew and Dr Mentzer are taken to a room near the front of the central body of the freighter where the floor ceiling and walls are covered in the swirling marks of the history of the Tempest Dust Cadre, An elderly gentleman sits cross legged on the floor a heater lamp in front of him he gestures for the other to sit including Sevis. The door is closed. The crew spot warriors out side the door.
