The Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser known as "Shackler" spends its days patrolling the space around Kalarba serving the Protectorate in an anti-piracy role. To complement its task the cruiser hosts the once well decorated Dusk Squadron aboard while on mission, once made up of veterans of the Galactic Civil War it now only retains a few from the glory days. 

The whining alarm sounds within the cruiser, alerting the crew of an unidentified ship

"Unidentified Corellian Freighter this is the Protectorate of Kalarba, power down your thrusters and prepare to be boarded for inspection. Failure to comply will result in your arrest and seizure of your craft."

The captain then turned to the deck officer, his matter of fact tone not changing for a second.

"Have Dusk Squadron on standby, we do not sit in a position to take risks these days.  Ensure we are at Tractor Force 3, the boarding party can maintain minimal size. If this freighter wishes to play games then we will hold in place and our fighters will pick it apart." 

The deck officer nodded and began relaying orders to those not on the bridge to hear them. The years following Endor haven't been kind to the crew of the Shackler, reduced staffing, under equipped starfighter compliment, and lots of green recruits. Even still, the veteran still aboard wouldn't trade it for any other job in the galaxy.
