The sniper was shot by a vengeful Friste Tem, caught while trying to flee the area. It is noted that Friste committed overkill; the sniper was shot multiple times after being fatally wounded.
The raids on the Almania sector do not have any noticeable pattern about them. The most recent raid was in the capitol, when Wojaine's daughter was seized. However, most take place at random settlements where the raiders will face the least amount of resistance.
You would need to talk to someone with connections to Svidrigailov before you could suss where his next strike would be.
Moving on, then.
The day closes out uneventfully. Master Cabas sees you before the night comes, but only to tell you that he is planning for the mission ahead and that he will share more on the matter tomorrow. Tonight, he wants you to remember your training.
When you wake the next morning, you are unsure, but you think you saw a glimmer of Wojaine's daughter in your dreams. But nothing else, and only a glimmer.
The next day, you are to meet Wojaine's vessel at the Senate building.
Master Windu and Chancellor Palpatine are there to see you off, as is Wojaine and his people.
The Senatorial starship of Almania is not exactly as regal as Wojaine's clothes or position. Unlike many of the sleek and shiny vessels that the Senators use (for example, the Senator of Naboo's chromium-plated ship), the starship is a little larger than a Large Freighter, plated with heavy armor, and has at least six turrets, not to mention front-facing guns. You doubt it is very maneuverable, though...
"Senator," Cabas greets Wojaine.
"Jedi," Wojaine greets Cabas. He seems less than cheerful about having you both on his ship.
Senator Wojaine and Master Cabas board, followed by Wojaine's advisors and entourage.
As the Senator's vessel takes off, you look down on Coruscant as it begins to shrink away below...

Yoda, Mace Windu, and Palpatine watch as the Senator's vessel takes flight.
"Hopefully we shall hear good news from Almania within the month," Palpatine says, cheerfully. "Now, if you'll excuse me, Masters, I am a busy man and must attend to matters..."
"Of course, Chancellor," Mace Windu replies, not taking his eyes off the sky as the craft disappears.
Palpatine takes his leave.
"Confused, the boy is," Yoda says, looking down at his cane.
Mace looks down to his dimunitive superior. "How so?"
"A dream, he has had. A vision of temptation, of suffering."
"Do you think he will pass his trials?"
Yoda lifts his tired eyes to Windu. "Strong and loyal, Xavier is. Faith do I have in him. Tempted, he will be, but the right path he will choose."
Windu returns his gaze to the sky, saying nothing.

The Senator's vessel, the Spearhead, is a large craft. Senator Wojaine's head of security, Jan, informs you of procedures on the craft while Master Cabas speaks with the Senator.
"The turrets are new emplacements," Jan tells you, Xavier. "The Senator had them installed shortly after...well, you're here about them pirates, eh? Old Sviddy made some threats, so it's best to be prepared."
