"I don't think slavery is what they're after," Obi-Wan replies finally, also keeping his voice low. "It seems a logical assumption given that the ships and passengers are never seen again. But it could also simply be long-term imprisonment. How long-term is up for debate, as no one's been released yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't a possibility."
At this point, he chooses to sit on the floor cross-legged, resting his hands lightly on his knees. "There is also the strong possibility that they have two bases in operation; one for the processing of the cargo they steal, and the other for dealing with their prisoners. The question is, what are they doing with the supplies, and how can we make that knowledge work in our favour?"
Of course he does. They've known each other for far too long.
