However, the place was so remote that, apart from several smugglers who had wandered over while hiding from debt collectors a month ago, no one else ever came here. Naturally, those smugglers had been sent straight to Kessel to mine.
A Protoss transport ship slowly rose from the landing platform behind the Twilight Covenant Temple. It gradually accelerated, broke free of the planet's atmosphere, and entered space.
