"Scorpion Annihilator Droids?! Are you sure?" Hunter's face was grave. "Those battle droids shouldn't be here! Weren't they secret weapons produced only when the Separatists were making their final stand on Saleucami Planet?"
Crosshair continued adjusting his focus and nodded. "Yes, I'm sure. There are at least three Scorpion Annihilator Droids on that orbital freight train... and they're unloading even more supplies. Wait, guards are coming down... Those guards... Damn it..."
"What is it?"
"They bear the Titan Security Company insignia," Crosshair said in a low voice. "It seems that although the Duchy of Dawn has not directly joined this war, they are still helping the Trade Federation by providing mercenaries."
At the unloading site, a squad of fully armed soldiers in black combat uniforms directed the B-1 battle droids as they moved cargo. Each of them had an A-shaped emblem on their chest. Without a doubt, these soldiers belonged to one of the Milky Way Galaxy's most powerful and notorious mercenary groups—Atlas, Titan Security Company!
It was said that this security company had risen in Hutt Space and had long accepted Hutt contracts, assisting their criminal syndicates with sabotage, robbery, debt collection, and other work. They were known for their excellent equipment and ruthless methods. Moreover, the company was likely receiving secret support from the Duchy of Dawn, because much of its equipment came from there.
"Imperial Intelligence Department has always found it strange that the Trade Federation's forces have performed completely differently in this campaign than they did during the Separatist era. It looks like Titan Security Company has been providing them with military advisory services... and this equipment too... Damn it!" Hunter slammed his fist into the ground. "What condition are those Scorpion Annihilator Droids in?"
"Activated. They're watching the surrounding area," Crosshair replied.
