"Let me assure you," says Pheron, "no ship lands on Tartarus without us knowing about it. Any ship landing in the civilian area would be intercepted by a squadron of fighters. Or a hundred troops when it landed. ALL ships have to land in the military area and those wishing to go inside processed by us.
"Frankly, it strikes me as silly that any criminal would run here, where he would almost certainly be detained by us for illegal entry."
Pheron blinks.
"He's a Tartaran citizen?" he says, taken aback. "Ah."
He moves to his intercom.
"Piso, have we checked a man named 'Persis' though to the Civilian Area recently?"
"Err... can you describe him?"
(Pheron gets the descriptions from you and passes them on. A few minutes later, they have a security image of Persis entering the Civilian area, carrying a large cloth sack over his shoulder.)
"Well... at least we have established SOMETHING," says Pheron. "Hmm... knotty, this one..."
"Come on, leave him in one piece," Kellan urged, not wanting to use Xeth's name in front of the administator. She pulled her companion away by the arm, heading out of the docking bay.
She then lowered her voice. "I have a hunch that we're not going to find Ascar hiding amongst the lowlifes of Nar Shadda, Xeth. He won't stoop to that," Kellan told him. "I think he's hidden himself behind his allies in the higher end of the food chain."
Well... here you are on Nar Shadda... as I say, it is like Coruscant, but DEEP. And rather narrow and claustrophobic. For once, humans are in the minority as people of all speicies wonder the many walkways.
It is a big place; you need to think of somewhere to start.

"Like I keep telling you, Master Jedi," says Pheron, "I AM willing to help you as much as I can. This isn;t a case of me being obstructive."
"Yes, unfortunate, I agree," says Pheron. "The only circumstances I am allowed in trhere is to retrirve people in there illegally- on the idea that there presence will be more disruptive to the investigation than mine. So if this 'Persis' had been in there illegally I could have gone and got him myself. As it is, though..."
Pheron shrugs.
"The best I can do is contact the Senate and ask for them to help. But somehow I doubt it."
(Use the Force Mah and Fire...)
"I wasn't really going to kill him!" Xeth says to Gundy. "It would be against the Code. The only time I might stoop that low is if I was face to face with a Dark Jedi. In any case, we need to get started. But where to start?"
Xeth looks around and then asks a nearby civilian something. "Do you know where I could find a good information broker?"
