After a moment he says "You can assume anything you wish but the facts of the situation are as follows... Mr. Melstrum is a man of honor. He sees the delivery of the... cargo... to Gotan the Hutt as a point of honor. He said that he would deliver it and he means too. Gotan the Hutt also believes that in order to maintain his standing within his society that 'deals' matter. If someone says that they are going to make a payment or a delivery that they are going to make it.""Whether the Republic agrees or disagrees with this particular cargo is not Mr. Melstrum's concern. He is working for the betterment of the people of Axxila. He expects that you will honor the pledges he has made and fulfill them whether you are Jedi or not.""If you refuse this... matter of honor you do so at your own peril. Mr. Melstrum's hands will be tied. He will be forced to take some form of action, if for no other reason then to satisfy his sense of honor. Gotan the Hutt will likely act in a far less respectable or reasonable way. I am sorry to say that he also knows about the... transfer of ownership of the Outlaw Gambit, and if he wishes to maintain his standing within his own... community... he also will act against you...""Doesn't it seem like a more reasonable action would be simply to deliver the cargo and not think over much about what it might be but instead consider what it represents -- a better future of the people of a war-torn planet. Investing in their future and not allowing your own sense of right or wrong interfer with what is best for them?"      [sblock=Updated Notes]The team spends the rest of the day exploring and cleaning their new ship. C-Four seemed to have done a pretty good job of maintaining the ship without any aid and limited resources. They discover four more hidden holds, an extra explosive devise of the type used to sabotage the mainport gate and all the various notes and datapads of the former Captain, stashed in another secret compartment in his cabin.The datapads have various information on them, mostly about various smuggler routes, the value of various less then legal items and materials, contacts at various space ports and smuggler dens. Going through them the team discovers that the pirates where working for a crime-lord by the name of Jedco Sternestorm. His hidden base is supposed to be located on the planet Corstris (When Jihahna cleans up C-Four this is also the planet he has been programmed to jump too). This planet is also in the Quelii Sector, the same sector as the planet Dathomir. Thus the jump is less than a day long. Captain Gomak’s notes say that someone who appeared to be the Sith Spy they just killed had come to the crime lords base just a couple of weeks ago with a plan. He was going to arrange for a number of ships to be carrying thorilide and would also arrange for the Empire to purchase the cargo for at least 500,000 credits. Captain Gomak and Jedco were going to split this 50/50, with Gomak also getting to keep one transport and the rest going to the Crime Lord.The Kessel's Kiss Spice (the - it turns out - highly addictive, sweet-smelling powder they found) was supposed to be delivered to a crime lord by the name of Gotan the Hutt on <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cathar" target="_blank">Cather</a>, another planet in the Quelii Sector. From the notes they found, Gomak was doing the crime lord a favor for some past misdeed. The information provides the location of Gotan's hideout on Cathar, in a partially submerged city in the planet's main ocean.Second Update - Cathar at this time is still trying to recover from the destruction caused during the <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Cathar" target="_blank">Battle of Cathar</a> some 300 years ago during the <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian_Neo-Crusaders/Legends" target="_blank">Mandalorian Neo-Crusades</a>. The Cathar were almost driven to extinction during this time and have re-settled in only a few places onworld. Much of the planet is uninhabited and as such the rule of law is only enforced in a few places.[/sblock]</blockquote>
