Get some forensic word done to see if only the droids were used...
Done somthign with the starship landing,
other stuff, maybe looked at the other huts...
OMG! It was the Hutts!
Oh wait, I see...
(people throw rotten fruit at GM)
Anyhow... Well, in that case, it is time to go.
"Best of luck..." says Cannes, in a tone of voice that basically is happy that he is not the one having to do the job.
Arminium is not too far away... but far enough for some time to pass. In that time you are contacted by the Council. Foresnic analysis of the Anzat crime scene has matched the small droid parts found there to the batch of droids that Ryamore has control of. In light of evidence submitted by the Union, confirming that Ryamore is the only person who has the access codes to the control unit for those droids, and that also he was demonstrating the possible penal use of limiter chips to the outer worlds at the time of his disappearance, an arrest warrat has been issued against Carlan Ryamore. You are to execute that warrant by any means necessary.
(in absence of the new thread I just made being made before this game and in that now it is there, Roan is having some good ideas, the admin at the Temple have done that part of the case for you, in this story. In future, of course, you'll have to do the work).
Part Two- Echo of the Future
The Fortress, Arminium
Classical music plays in the background of the control centre, a vast bank of monitors and controls. Violins play a gentle, soothing passage. In a luxury leather chair by the controls sits an elegant, well-dressed man, waving his left hand in time with the music.

"Computer?"
"Yes, Director Ryamore?" replies the computer in a clam, measured voice.
"I have a proximity alert on the system scan. Identify."
"Unknown vessels have arrived in the system via means of a hyperspatial jump."
"Identify."
"Please wait."
In the pause, Ryamore turns up the sound on the music.
"Ship scan reference is complete. Database retrieval suggests that these ships are known to have been used by the Jedi Order."
"Their intent?"
"They are moving towards this world."
"Very well. Activate the defence shield and orbital batteries."
"Defence systems are being activated. Airspace is secure. Security condition is now yellow."
"Strategic prognosis?"
"The offensive capacity of their ships is not considerable. The Jedi will make a surface landing and attempt to gain entry on foot."
Ryamore smiles, and brings up a control console, a diagram on it in the shape of a battle droid. With one hand, he produces a blaster.
"Let them come," he says... and he presses the activation button.

Your ships wink out of hyperspace.
Arminium is nothing much to speak of; a dry world, dirty-brown in colour, of no strategic or finanical signifiance. Like so many remote worlds, its only real use is in that it is somewhere to hide.
It does bring one advantage, however, in that you find what you are looking for almost immediately. There is a single structure on the planet, in the northern hemisphere- reather disturbingly, it is no small base, but a sizeable fortress. And...
... hmm. That's a pain. A defence shield just activated around it. And the top of that fortress is bristling with anti-ship weaponry.
