"Look, that must be Zan Arbor's ship," Anakin murmured to Obi-Wan.


Anakin and Ferus were wearing their minimal disguises, while Obi-Wan was nearly unrecognizable in his finery. All had managed to conceal their lightsabers except Siri, whose outfit was simply too revealing to cover much of anything. So Obi-Wan carried hers.


A sleek white ship was parked in a hangar nearby. Obi-Wan recognized the Luxe Flightwing. The nose of the cruiser was curved, the wings folded back like a bird's in flight. The ship's exterior was made out of a rare gleaming white ore.


A security officer met them at the bottom of the ramp. He was dressed in an ornate uniform with silver cords looping over his shoulders. The Romins were a species with golden skin and eyes. Their noses were flat, barely raised on their faces, and their mouths were wide and expressive.


"Welcome to Romin. Docs, if you please."


Obi-Wan handed over the ID docs. The officer perused them carefully.


"You have come to Romin for what purpose?"


"We would like to relocate here," Obi-Wan said.


The officer looked up. "There are procedures and waivers. We do not allow just anyone to be a citizen of Romin."


"We will be happy to follow all procedures," Obi-Wan said. "In the meantime, we would like to enter your beautiful city." He passed over a bundle of credits.


The officer slid them into his pocket in one practiced movement. "One moment."
