Three ships exited hyperspace just within Taanab's outer sensor ranges. Two of the ships were Verpine in origin. Governmental owned cruisers that were part of Verpine's home defense fleet. The third ship was several thousand meters long and egg shaped.
Taanab air control tried repeated attempts at communication but were answered by silence. Why Verpine ships and an unknown contact were hanging out at the edge of Taanab's controlled airspace was a mystery so the Republic Hammerhead Cruiser RNS Patron Saint dispatched 4 of it's Aurek Fighters to investigate.

Without warning, the three vessels began moving. The Verpine cruisers took point while the egg shaped ship fell in behind them. Shuttles launched from the egg shaped craft as well as a few shuttles from the cruisers. These shuttles blew past the traffic in orbit, ignoring the planets air traffic control and headed for the surface. The cruisers took flanking positions on the RNS Patron Saint while the Egg shapped ship maintained a low orbit, blocking lanes of commercial shipping traffic while it continued to deploy shuttles to the surface.

Finally, after a 30 minute standoff between the two Verpine ships and the Patron Saint, Commander Di'jorn, the Twi'lek shipmaster of the Saint recieved a message from one of the Verpine cruisers.
"Greatings commander, I realize you must have many questions about our presence here. please, allow us to explain ourselves over dinner." The Verpine commander said.
Commander Di'jorn pondered this for a minute and then agreed. "Very well, i'll dock with your cruiser in 2 hours. would you rather have dinner on my ship, or yours?"
"Your's please, commander. I'm afraid our ships were not built very well towards entertaining non Verpine guests."
"Ok then." Di'jorn said. "in two hours you can explain all this to me."

The Verpine commander looked down at the body of commander Di'jorn and the bodies of his command crew. Not minutes after arriving on board for dinner, the Verpines had released a gas that would knock anyone out in their immediate vicinity.
The Verpine commanders two body guards quickly went back to the hatch connecting the two capitol ships and opened it. A flood of Killik insects swarmed out and through the ship. Some, as small as a hand, went into the air ducts, others into the maintenance conduits. Warrior Killiks took up station outside the hatch door.
The Verpine commander went back aboard his own ship and prepared to cut the connection. soon the Patron Saint would be under the Joining. Sarah would be happy, and all would be well.
The commanders attention went back to the surface of Taanab where the new Killik colony was beginning to take shape. The people of Taanab, were understandably upset, but that would only last a few weeks. then they would now the joy and fulfillment of the Joining and everything would be peaceful again.

The RNS Patron Saint went into close orbit around Tanaab. Shuttles from the surface went up to the ship and docked to her exterior, dispensing more Kiliks into the ship. The crew had been forced into only certain sections of the ship, while the command crew were locked outside the bridge. Verpine command crew had taken over the bridge and set the ships ventilation system to continuously recycle but not filter the air.
The two Verpine cruisers and nest ship meanwhile left orbit and jumped to hyperpace back to the unknown regions. The Republic force in orbit over Verpine was also slowly being joined. While such covert actions wouldn't be needed when NoonSarah was in her rightful place, they were required now to obtain assets to use against any upstarts that may try and keep her from her missions success.
