(I went back and re-read the first 10 pages of conspiracy)
But im still Kinda confused.
Nassere got his degree from Talloran, Thats his link with them,and we know it had something to do with hyperspace navagation... But then Strine, working through the TU?? or Araize (or whatever his name is) wen't and got him using droids that might have been stolen, or on lease from the TU, WE know they were the advanced droids. and we know that the whole area was trashed. But there was no lack of man power there, so why would they use droids if they had the slaves? Unless there was some signifagance with the droids.
