The mission
Arriving on Utapau, Katarn and Ki made there way to where they expected to meet with, the , but were instead met with an armed contingent of  soldiers, lead by Jenin Vant, the  of the. Ki quickly got them out of the prediciment, using the Force to persuade Vant to take them to his superior.

Meeting with, Jenin's father, and leader of the Utapau Skyforce; Katarn and Ki revealed the reason for the presence on Utapau, and why they could not signal ahead beforehand. Reluctantly, Vant agreed to allow both the Jedi to meet with Lampay Fay, albeit unamred and under guard. The two Jedi agreed, and made their way to their provided quarters whilst they waited.

The next day the two Jedi were discreetly taken to Lampay Fay's chambers, and introduced to the Port Administrator. Katarn took the lead in the discussion, and it soon became clear to Ki why Katarn had asked him here; the negotiations were far advanced, possibly years old, but it seemed that neither side would relent in their demands. Pulling Katarn aside, Ki wanted to know all the demands of the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi, as well as those of the Utai and Pau'ans. Katarn was clear and too the point; the Jedi wanted a base within one of the sinkholes of Utapau and unlimited access to said base; the people of Utapau wanted neutrality in the conflict.

Ki correctly assumed that Lampay Fay fear another, such as that of the , which was caused by the presence of a secret base in Pau City. Walking up to Fay, Ki made a suggestion, if Fay would allow the Jedi to establish a base on Utapau, away from Pau City, the Galactic Alliance would allocate a fleet to the defense of Utapau, should the Sith break the Utapau neutrality; Ki also made assurances that the Jedi presence on Utapau would pass unnoticed to both the Sith, and the peoples of Utapau. Fay, swamped in both fear and thought, sent the Jedi away, promising a decision by the next day. Katarn congratulated Ki for doing so well as the two left the chamber.

Hours later, Senin Vant approached the Jedi, ordering them to leave Utapau. Disheartened, Katarn and Ki both made their way for the s, and prepared to take off. Just as the two Jedis X-wings begun to lift of the landing pad, Ki spotted a fast moving Lampay Fay heading towards them. Landing his X-wing and getting out, Ki approached Lampay.

"Jedi? Can your truly Galactic Alliance truly assure peace on Utapau?" "Yes, Administrator, we can." "Then I will allow your Jedi base on our world." "Thank you Administrator. And I promise, there shall be no war on Utapau." "Unless you bring it with you&hellip;"

Turning around as he spoke his last sentence, Lampay Fay walked off, leaving Cerras Ki standing briefly, before he too walked away, back to his X-wing. The two Jedi returned to Ossus and gave the Supreme Chancellor the good news.
