What you know about him makes absolutely no difference at all! It was still a gambit which made no difference.
But in truth, you DO know about him; you looked him up last story. Persis is a smuggler, not a military man. The military are here to STOP the smugglers. Your problem is that Persis has probably fled to the civilian part, as he has Tartaran citizenship.
In any case, your ship lands at the landing bay. Several armed guards await you outside.
"Oh, I'm fine Master Gundark. Majora gave a nasty kick before Mah put an end to her evil, so my head hurts. Geez, to think I was almost killed..."
Xeth pilots the Nexu's Grin until the Nar Shadda traffic control contacts him. "This is Xeth Tam, here on business of my own." Remembering that the Hutt's are in control here, he brings up his old spying job. "I'm an old accomplice of Shareth the Hutt."
Hmm... does infiltrating her organisation as an undercover agent and then betraying her count as bad?
Xeth, she will try and kill you.

Mah, and Marcus, the guards lead you to an office of a certain Captain Pheron. His office is at the top of the dome that appears to be the main building of the military sector (which, frankly, is not what you expected- one habitation dome and some landing pads, and the transfer to the civilian sector). The wall behind him is mostly plasti-glass, and affords a view of the outer buildings of the civilian sector.
"Um," says Captain Pheron, getting up from behind his desk when you come in. He shrugs slightly. "Hello?"
"goodmorning..." raising an eyebrow "we are here to do an investigation and will not take much more of your time, it would be kind of you if you would let our ship stay here if it is not too much trouble. Secondly I would like to know wether or not it takes a lot of time to transfer between this sector and the civilian sector?"
