At this distance it still takes you an hour at sub-light to get closer to the orbital space station you are being directed to. Zero can scan during that time for if the snub fighters ever try to get a targetting lock for missiles or torpedoes, but ifd they decide to start shooting there will be no warning.
The fighter escorts move to a formation where the Z95 Headhunters are port and starboard of you, and the Y-Wing is behind, each about 5 km away, they seem to be well aware that Lambda shuttles have all their firepower in front, with only a very modest rear laser cannon. If you turn to get any one of them in a targeting arc, the other two will be behind you and easily pick you apart.
The hour passes uneventfully and as you round the planet, a large orbital space station looms into view. It looks like it is primarily orbital communications satellite, meant as a relay point for interstellar communication. Mot a bad place for a rebel cell to set up, they could eavesdrop on most of the communication in teh sector with that equipment, at least the unencrypted stuff. And they could also use it to get their message of resistance out.
There is no way they would let an Imperial shuttle leave here though, they would not want the Imperials to get word they are here.

As you approach, suddenly a greenish cone of energy is projected out, snaring your shuttle.
Tractor Beam [1d20+13] = 4+13 = 17; Grapple [1d20+85] = 1+85 = 86
At the same time Zero realizes that you are being jammed.
A voice broadcasts on an open frequency. "Shuttle, prepare to be boarded. If you surrender peacefully we will not harm you."
You will not be able to respond unless you can slice through whatever is jamming yuour comms.
