There, at the edge of the system, a blip. Barely noticeable, especially by the limited sensors by the planetary orbit control. Normally, a ship would be able to be detected warping in -- but when a lone, fighter-class starship appeared at the very edge of sensor range, it was very easy to overlook. It drifted inward, towards the planet, engines silent and all but the bare essentials shut off. For all intents and purposes, the ship appeared dead...but did not drift as one that was. The ship, if one were to observe closely enough, did not appear to react to gravity as it should be. It drifted with a purpose...an otherworldly energy guiding it slowly, ever-closer to the planet. Any scans aboard would not be able to detect any overt heat signatures, as the temperature inside remained constant, a cool fifty degrees Fahrenheit. No life forms appeared to be on board, and yet it remained silent, doing absolutely nothing but drifting...attempting to simply be ignored by any passive scanners.
Inside, an individual sat cross-legged behind the singular pilot's chair, several items floating about him. Being cold-blooded, his body temperature matched the surrounding area. For all intents and purposes, he should be dead, or deeply ill, but the power of the Force was a strange thing that one did not question. His body was...warped. Frightening, almost. The figure was stretched, body seemingly frail yet lined with muscle. A pair of yellow-orange eyes shifted lazily behind closed eyelids, waiting...
There. Eyes opened, staring out into nothing, but he could feel the life force entering the system. His friend finally decided to arrive...good. A cruel, simple smile curled the features of the Trandoshan as the ship began to fall, seemingly without any attempts to rectify itself, out of orbit. Valkess attention remained passive as the ship caught fire entering the atmosphere, not kicking on the dampeners untill he was below the orbital scan grid. The ship suddenly jerked and leveled out, gliding towards a mountain range in pursuit...
