It's a little better than that, Jovan- you know what sites on those planets they might be after. But no, it's not great.
And I am afraid not in advance. Tracing the fleet via Lo'joon allows you to where they might end up striking soon, and will be useful when compared with a list you already have, but it won't help narrow down what planets Jovan should be looking at as in the long term, the fleet can go anywhere.
True... Thanks heaps for the tips.
Jovan! Go be all forcely awesome and feel wrong about things! We have pirates to spy on!
Say, would us people on the shipping side of things be able to get info on other freighters bringing in food for the Pirates, for more people to arrest in the big bust at the end? Not sure if it has any use, just curious.
I thought Vader could do that because Luke was his son. 🙁
OK... I need a list of planets and sites they have hit.
I can try "Observation" (got a 3 on that) and "Intuition". Does "Sense" do anything good as well for this?
So I have to focus on the sites that can be a possible hit and not on the planets themselves. I hope I can get a bad feeling about this.
Why would it be Luke being his son? Luke was his son before the probe droids arrived; that never helped him sense anything. The movies show instincts being at least as strong as just sensing- indeed, sensing enever helped them find the Rebels at all, not even from Palpatine.
But as soon as Vader saw the images the droid sent back, he just knew.
And as it is... Jovan, over the months in which you guys work on this, you have an instinctive feel that three of the p;lanets are not worth investigating.

The investigation as a whole takes 18 months before you are ready to make a move. Those of you without any remaining jobs have been trawling around the nine remaining sites, trying to intercept their scouts on-site. You actually do spot three scouts working for Pelloran, based on descriptions issued by those of you working undercover and from your Kirillian witness. The undercover people also have a list of potential worlds, one of which can be ruled out by Jovan's instincts. They also give you a time for the next hit; as the weeks go past before that hit, you desperately try and rule out options to get ito place. Tracing the pirate fleet allows you to rule out several as they simply would not be in position in time.
At the end, it is down to two different worlds- one of them will be hit the next day. Gallagher is waiting nervously on Estalia, just wanting to hear one name from one of the undercover workers so he knows where to send everyone. If it takes any longer, you won't have enough time to organise and stop it.
The word comes in just in time- the target is the Tomb of Renohan XXXI, on the planet Agalania.
Ok, well, here, with any luck, the vague idea of the planning is something I already asked the Jedi to consider a little whole back.
The decision was that, to get the best possible catch, you must get them at their point of maximum exposure- that is, at the point where they begin the attack on the ground. You then mount a simultaneous ground and space attack, attakcing their forces on the ground and going for the fleet in space, in order to force their surrender.
You can just get to Agalania in time!
I think it is then best we split up: those who can pilot, stay up in the air and disable their ships. Preferably we do not shoot their ships to smithereens because there will be pirates on the ships too.
Those on the ground should engage the pirates.
But I think there are some Masters in this group so it's pretty much their decision.
Well, it would be nice if someone declared all that, but I am sure it will be done.
The question of an ambsh was also discussed earlier- and indeed, Agalania has a moon that your ships can hide behind! The Agalanians- despite being a race of rather short stature- do have a military and fighter craft to lend to your efforts. Due to your positive handling of local authorities, there is no difficulty in arranging their help under your command.
