The ship cruised to the outer system, well outside the Sun's effective gravity well which fucks with warp co-ordination. Sure you might land at your destination... ish. But you'd have no control over orientation, distance or closeness to the target star, Space Legends even said ships went way off course into dark space between stars or other, stranger places.
Which of course was bullshit.
The ship shook like a motherfucker as it entered warp, with the translation event hitting everyone like a physical blow across the entire body at once, which... wasn't supposed to happen. But once in warp the ship settled. The journey through the two intermediary systems was boring, with no comm nodes, settlements or ships to ping about news of the attack on Frajkt. However that changed when they entered the Unil system. Here there was a small habitable world with green seas, Planet Cairn, known for its Mining colonies. The starport that hung in its orbit was the real draw to the system however. The Station of Kir, a well reknowned stop off point for traders and stellar travellers of all kinds, and predictable the system was practically rife with traffic to and from the massive starport they could definitely get help here.
