Titus was barely perturbed by the Admiral's outburst, offering a short bow of apology despite Lyrica's chiding of Admiral Brightlance
The mistake was all mine Princess... I am but a simply Jedi trying to make his way through this system himself. Proper respect is owed to those that have earned it, and you have certainly earned mine...
Titus fought down hard the urge to move forward and come to Lyrica's aide, but he knew such an action would do no good. In part because he had already seemingly offended Admiral Brightlance and perhaps several of her crew with his improper addressing of Lyrica. But also because he was all too familiar with the affliction that plagued the Aldar people. A Sith curse that was well beyond his ability to cure and contend with, despite his efforts to the contrary. He had been consulting a great deal of old documents, hoping to find some mention of it within the archives. But so far, he had not found anything remotely useful. He took a knee then, closing the slight height difference between himself and Lyrica as he gently took her hand in his own
The end comes for us all one day, and I am going to keep doing everything within my power to make sure that one day is still many years from now for you...
He offered what little he could amount to a smile for a lizard, as he let go of her hand and rose back to his full height to address the rest of Lyrica's comments regarding the ship and the Separatists use of droids
It is at least a relief to know that the ship does indeed exist and we are not going on some wild goose hunt... But to answer your question, yes, the Separatists did extensively use droids within their armies. Many a world trembled before the march of B1 and B2 battle droids as they swept cities aside... There is a reason so many people are distrustful of droids after the Clone Wars. Not that the Clones were particularly innocent either... But such are the tragedies of war, I fear. We go in with noble intentions, hoping to stop the spread of Chaos, and yet end up contributing to it... hmmm... But yes, we should be cautious of any battle droids that may still be onboard. Such things can survive the march of time and may reactivate due to our presence...

[ Princess Lyrica Starlight | Bridge | Main Deck | AFV Whisper ] Attn: Maximus TitusWhilst the knights and the admiral moved further back to give Maximus and Lyrica some modicum of privacy, the princess frowned at the Chistori's remarks. The history of the Clone Wars was nothing short of convoluted, and a ridiculously complicated plot by the Sith to both discredit the Jedi and at the same time remove their effectiveness to identify the Sith threat until it was far too late.“Perhaps that is the lesson of history,” said Lyrica, “lest we doom ourselves to repeat the mistakes of the past. As Jedi, we are meant to be protectors and defenders. Warriors and attackers are not something we're necessarily the best for. Are you ready then? We can be on our way. Our escorts are standing by, and I am quite eager to see this ship. Past designs fascinate me.”The admiral leaned over the shoulder of the navigator, checked the coordinates, and nodded at Lyrica, who smiled at her gratefully, and turned to look expectantly at Maximus.

Maximus gave a nod. There was little else to add to Lyrica's comments at the moment. History was there to exist as a lesson for those in the future to learn from. The Clone Wars were a good teaching moment from many different lights and in many different ways. But for now, Maximus pushed such thoughts too the side
Me and my forces are ready to depart when you are... Let us be underway and find this ship...

Lyrica inclined her head with a smile, then nodded to the admiral, and tightly gripped a gilded gold railing with a somewhat eager look on her face. Similarly, most of the Aldar crew gripped onto consoles or railings and handholds as the Whisper and its escorts entered the hyperspace lane, and without further delay, made the jump.
Whilst the Admiral appeared accustomed to it and managed to keep her balance without holding onto anything, everyone neglected to inform their reptilian guests of the rather novel experience of jumping in a Aldar ship, which would be why everyone held onto something in lieu of a somewhat weaker acceleration dampener. Also, the Aldar were yelping with exhilaration at the jump.
It never got old for them.

The ship jumps out of hyperspace. Krajesh engages the sublight engines and the cloaking device, making the ship virtually invisible. He then rose from the seat and headed for the mid of the ship, where the prince's chamber was. The door slids open. Vallius stood still, hands clasped behing the back, reading some holoprojected data.
"We reached destination, my Lord"
The prince turns on his heels, the yellow bloodshot eyes focusing on the colonel.
"Have we located the palace?"
"Indeed, sire. It's rather close to the capital itself, perched on a cliff overlooking the forested area around it. When our sensors are in range we will get to know if it's inhabited or not"
"Good"
He switches off the projector. Then commands the Force, pulling the lightsaber towards his open hand from the minimalistic stand where it was resting. The Zabrak then places it on his belt, dangling.
"Engage the long-range scanners, I want to know if the entry to the planet is impeded by any ships of these so-called Jedi Lords"
Vallius started walking towards the cockpit with the Seniteen in tow, who swiftly keyed the order for K-470 to proceed with the scanning.
"As you wish sire"
The door to the cockpit slids open.
"Master. Results of the scanning being processed"
Said the faceless droid. The Sineteen takes a seat at the ship's helm, while Vallius stands behind him and the enforcer droid, waiting for the results of the long-range scanners. The Sith Lord then proceeded to conceal his dark presence: it was a sensible choice in a planet radiant within the Light Side, his arrival, otherwise, would provoke a conmotion in the Force, like ripples traversing the surface of a tranquil pond. But Sith Lords had long mastered subtlety, to remain unseen even before the scrutinizing gaze of their very enemies.

Space around the planet was indeed being monitored and policed by the Jedi Lords. When the Autocrator jumped into real space around the planet the sensors initially picked it up as just another ship that had jumped into the system. As the cloaking device was initiated it was lost to those sensors, it tried and failed several times to locate the ship in nearby space but when it failed to do so it was flagged and sent to a backlog of requests. Occasionally things not made by sentient hands could accidentally slip into hyperspace and if a meteoroid the size of a ship was floating around the planet it may cause damage to one of the other ships in the area. For the time being local traffic was advised to avoid the area until someone could check the area and locate the anomaly and deal with it as needed.

Said the Sineteen. Vallius closed his eyes, pensive. "Now, we have to find the way in. Change course, alter entry point. Look for a large ship coming into orbit and conceal ourselves in its shadow. Our signature shall be shadowed by it"There was a large freighter, heavy with cargo, moving at slow pace towards the planet. It looked like it had seen better times, but it would work. The Autocrator flew, cloaked, into the freighter's proximity, and then used its magnetized landing appendages to fix itself on the larger ship's belly, like a mynock in a purrgil.
"Disable all systems, save the vital ones and the cloaking, we want to minimize our energetic output""It shall be done, my Lord. Lowering systems to 30%"The metallic robotic voice said, while the ship powered down around them, lights vanishing. Only thing that could be seen were the consoles' numerous lights, the robot's photoreceptors and Vallius' own poisonous eyes. |

The captured Separatist Supply Ship dropped out of hyperspace above Serenno, accompanied by the ships of Lyrica Starlight's fleet. Titus had ensured the ships dropped from hyperspace just beyond the orbital defence cannon range, allowing him time to transmit his authorization codes. He hadn't wanted to take any chances with the systems coming online and firing before he could announce himself. With any potential mishap now averted, the crew moved the Supply Ship in closer to Serenno as Titus turned his focus back to LyricaThere it is... home, sweet home. I greatly appreciate you and your peoples help. Although it was a straight forward mission, things definitely could have gone differently... So thank you...

[ Princess Lyrica Starlight | Bridge | Main Deck | Sereno's Orbit | Separatist Supply Ship ] Attn: Maximus Titus [RETIRED] Lyrica smiled happily at the Chistori and bowed her head, an action imitated by her knights and various escorts.“It is always an honour to assist our fellow Jedi and friends,” said Lyrica, “If ever you find yourself in need of our services, please do not hesitate.”She left the bridge then, returning to her own ship, before making the short trip back to the Aldar home city.

Titus offered a bow in return before Lyrica and her people departed
The same goes to you and yours. Know that House Titus and the Saurian Nation stand ready to aide and protect you and your people...
Once Lyrica and her people left the ship and headed ground side, Titus and his people immediately set to work loading cargo containers with the old battle droids which would be delivered to the Aldar home city. A transmission was also sent to the surface, calling a series of transports up from the Aparian Wastes. Craftsman of various skills were offloaded and started getting to work assessing the Supply Ships current condition, while also performing minor repairs that were vital to the ships current and continued operation
