Travel to the Deep Core takes a couple days, less if the hyperspace lanes are traversed.
Upon arriving at hyperspace buoy IC-772, a quick scan reveals a scene much like what was on the holoprojector. Hundreds of ships are in the area, following specific spacelanes from the buoy to their ultimate destinations. The standard Message to Spacers (METSOP) directs incoming ships to immediately contact Imperial Center control.

Edwani yawns as she makes her way to the bridge in her undershirt, but at least put on a pair of pants. She looks directly at Al sitting in the pilot's seat. "So do you wanna talk to them or should I?"

Al'verde, only wearing the pants of his jumpsuit that he wore under his armor, looked up "Oh you're awake" he says looking back at the controls "And don't worry I did take a shower " he adds with a smile. He thought for a second "The captain should always be the one that talks for a ship." he said flipping on the comm "This is captain Al'verde Verd'yc of the Shadow Spire, requesting permission to enter Imperial Center space, over." He cut the comm off and looked at Edwani "Here we go."

Kyle listen in to the cockpit, "Are we almost there yet? " Walking around in coveralls, thinking to himself that this is not a good idea.

Edwani grins looking at the Jedi, then holds a finger up to her lips and shushes him. "Keep it down.This is where he make an ass of himself and blows our cover."

The Arkanian Offshoot didn't honestly believe that would be the case, but she wasn't about to stop teasing the Mandalorian just because things where starting to get relatively serious.

"No, not him." Kyle smiling liking the new person's sense of humor.

An automated message is sent out from the control center requesting the ship's destination. Upon receiving it sends Al'verde the exact spacelane, Imperial Center Approach Vector ICAV-7A and it's requested that you proceed immediatly. From watching the sensors, it's determined that a new ship drops out of hyperspace near the buoy every few minutes.

Lucien rather unlike usual is staying in his room and keeping to himself while the others are in the cockpit. As they have started to contact the planet, he sighs and stands up heading out into the main part of the ship looking for some communication gear so he can start looking into making sure they have an exit plan if everything goes sideways.

Galen looks through the viewport of the crowded cockpit of the Firespray, looking at the glittering jewel that is Coruscant. It had been only a few months since he had last seen his home planet in person, but the Empire can change things far too quickly.

The planet now seemed darker to him, the feeling of being home stifled quickly by the feeling that it wasn't home. Not anymore. Hell, it wasn't even Coruscant anymore.

Being this close to what was once home brings back a flood of memories of friends that he know he will never see again. Kyle returns to his cabin to compose himself. ((Are we all leveling?))

Though there were some incidents upon arriving in the system (a near miss in one of the space lanes causing some systems to break down) and having to stop for the arrival of one of the Imperial Star Destroyers, the Shadow Spire finally makes landfall on Imperial Center. Customs agent Talee and his escorts of Stormtroopers inspect the ship and credentials. Finally he leaves, fining Al'verde and Galen for having expired weapon liscenses (500 credits each) which will have to be paid to Imperial Customs via credit account within four hours.

Since Al'verde landed on the pad reserved by Verana and Vrath on your behalf the first day of fees have been taken care of. Fees here are 100 credits per day, but security appears to be excellent here and the pad itself is well managed.

As per recommendation of Vrath and Verana, finding accommodations would be a wise course of action. Right now you are on tall spire flanked with dozens of vaguely cloud-shaped exterior landing platforms at multitudes of levels. Each being a massive cantilevered structure, which also forms a single bridge to the spire itself.

(Please include in your next post a description of what you are taking with you? Armor, visible/hidden weapons, etc.)

"Good old Imperial red tape," Galen chuckles as he packs the offending weapon into his bag, hoping to conceal it as best he can. His combat jumpsuit he also packs away. Right before he leaves the ship, he electronically transfers the fine from his alter ego's account into the Imperial coffers.

He steps out of the Firespray once again, getting a good view at the world that used to be his home planet. "Okay, everyone," he says, "Let's find us a place to stay."

Edwani yawns, putting her hands behind her head as she walks around the landing pad. She was wearing her combat gloves, and had her heavy blaster in its hip holster. She was dressed in typical spacer garb, and no armor.

"So whats next, "Fearless Leader"?" She asks directing the comment to the mandalorian.

Lucien was standing ready wearing a fashionable white shirt, and trousers, with a pair of vibro-daggers on his belt. He has a heavy looking bag slung over his shoulders containing a couple of other changes of clothes, his armour packed away neatly, as well as a pair of blaster pistols and vibro-swords, and of course his various medical tools (although he hopes this time he won't need them).

He seems a little surprised Al and Galen hadn't ensured their weapon licenses were up to date before they had arrived, he looks among the others checking out the equipment they decided to bring along (at least that they don't have concealed in their bags), and decides to wait for Al to answer Edwani's question before he starts moving out of the spaceport looking for possible places to stay that are fairly close to the spaceport just in case things go badly.
