Well, we need to do the same thing that Xeth tried to do, which is eliminate the choices for nearby planets that could be the base of the Cult/Techno Union. If it's possible for Vlad to get to a map of the nearby planets, he will do so, and start eliminating the choices right away with factors such as environment coverage so that the base could be unseen, and so it is still close enough and still somehow able to support life.
Lance looks to the other Jedi gathered around. He as he does so he comes to an idea.
"I have a droid in my ship, he can plug himself in to a kiosk and pull up all the information we need about this region." Lance pulls out a commlink and summons his droid to their location. "Our best bet would be to find the nearest planets that are able to sustain life. After that, we could split into teams to cover more ground, but for safety's sake I vote we stick together."
