Can definitely get you some information on what we know about the defenses, though. Its like Coruscant crammed into one little city, 'specially since the new troops landed. Mos Eisely...Mos Espa...Hutts have enough control there that the Empire keeps out of the way but Bestine...well, even the Hutts have their limits out here.After a few more minutes in the speeder, they began to slow. The desert sands had given way to patches of rock and stone. Soon, they were traveling down a narrow canyon that dipped down at a steep angle below their previous elevation. And then the speeder stopped. There was, at first, nothing to see that would indicate a base of any kind.Up ahead a good distance, the canyon met a wall and looked to cut off in different directions. While there was still no sign of a base, there were other things...blaster bolts. Bright flashes of red. Small, distant explosions against the rockface. Though there were a great many large stones and outcroppings that made a clear view of the scene difficult, there was definitely some kind of metal object, probably a speeder from its level to the ground, in that direction, along with many very easy to see white moving figures."It looks like you aren't the only ones who've gotten a little attention today..." Akan said softly. He then powered down the speeder completely and nearly kicked the hatch to get it to open, "Guess it was only a matter of time until  they found us."</blockquote>
