3rd person
Dark was well aware that he would not meet the chosen one yet since it's way before his birth meaning he will eventually have to come back during that time but for now he wanted to understand the environment that made him who he was in the phantom menace to see if he could slowly influence him or maybe prevent the jedi from even finding him by taking him and his mother himself but that was for the future.
From what could be seen Tatooine was a what many would call the slums of the galaxy with how much conflict and the state at which it's residents were in no wonder Anakin's mother was happy to see him go with the jedi getting him away from this place would give him a better life than she could even if she was free from slavery they would still be stuck on Tatooine if the jedi did not take him it's kind of sad really no wonder Anakin's was so worried of losing Padme that he resorted to the Dark side but ended up causing her death since Dark knew that the light side was not as the jedi described it thanks to his study of the law it requires an anchor for most jedi it's the jedi order itself but for Anakin it was Padme him completely abandoning the light sent feedback through the force to his anchor causing her death.
Although he currently struggles to have emotional responses his past self had them he understood that if not for his own son he would have stayed on the dark side proving that part of Anakin's light side Anchor survived through his children and seeing them allowed Anakin to realise despite his wife's death she still left him one last gift of love his son and daughter allowing him to complete his destiny of being balance to the force.
Dark had thought about it and wanted to give Anakin a chance at being happy he would ensure that he would not lose Padme while also beating the Jedi to him not because he feels sorry but because he firmly believes he deserves better than being controlled by a manipulative man who's sole goal is to rule everything he quickly relays his plan to Red as he continues to explore Tatooine under the cover of the cloaking device.
As they move they notice a man who is running as if his life depends on it in the direction of his traders he had thought the traders were kidding at how popular tobacco was but seeing this he was sure they were right thinking he may need to have production increased when they get back thinking he may have to limit the exploration of planets to a few important ones like Naboo and Coruscant after he finishes here.
After exploring for a few hours he realises that other than when Anakin is here nothing is worth any interest on Tatooine so with that in mind he and his team quietly return to the traders who were currently selling the goods that were intended to be sold here and because of the trade carrier the amount of good brought was more than normal which the residents were happy about since the method for purchase was trading objects or tech or money so everyone could at least get something they wanted.
Once they got back to the traders they just board the ship before disabling the cloaking devices before waiting for the traders to finish since it was not beneficial to rush them any benefits they get from this world is still a benefit no matter how small not long later one trade rushes back to the ship to inform Dark that two generals of the two factions that control Tatooine are fighting over who buys what hearing this Dark just said that they should tell them to ether settle it personally or they will not be allowed to purchase goods in the future they are disturbing the other patrons.
Following Darks instructions he tell the two both reluctantly agree to split it between them with that sorted the traders quickly sell the remaining ware they have before packing up and boarding the ship before leaving the planet heading to the trade carrier and boarding it's hanger to the outside it just looks like they just disappeared since the trade carrier has remained invisible the whole time no one realising that not far from them was a Hugh ship that could blast them to pieces despite it having less weapons then a normal carrier.
Once all the ships were in the hanger the preparation for hyperspace are made the next stop was Naboo Dark wanted to see not only the human city but also meet the gungans since they were not seen much but the tech they had was more advanced than the human residence and after the clone wars era they are not seen from a new hope all the way to return of the jedi it was kind of strange why would a race of none humans with takes to make a mobile shield generator not seen in the rebellion Dark had not seen much of the extended universe side of star wars so he was not sure if they actually participate or not but he wanted them as friends.
He was also curious since many theories about jar jar being a sith lord exists he wanted to see if they were right since by the time canon takes place he should have mastered the force and have some skill in it but if one thinks about it jar jar did exhibit certain skill one would associate with a force user but it's his blatant stupidity that stands out his race a certainly not stupid yet jar jar was stupid beyond relief not to mention that he was all for giving Palatine emergency power some would say he was gullible but he was far too gullible when no one of his race acted anything like he did.
With that thought in his mind he heard the office incharge of setting the hyperspace location says we are ready to set off hearing this Dark just nods indicating that they can engage the hyperdrive not long later they enter hyperspace making their way to Naboo.
Dark knew that using the modified hyperdrive in the Tatooine system would reveal the ship since the energy used to activate it was so large that nothing could hide the energy fluctuations that's why back in Tatooine every ship was receiving an alert for a large energy reading causing them all to look at where the trade ship disappeared in horror thinking that if that energy was used for a weapon nothing would remain they thought they were luckily because the energy reading showed that the energy was being used to create a fluctuation to enter hyperspace but no one thought of getting that tech they had learnt their lesson the last time when trying to getbtge cloaking tech.
Another thing they realised was that there was a huge ship close to them and they never knew making them fear the Ghost traders even more than they already did since not just anyone could build huge ships and no one did since the Rusan reform was signed and someone had dared to go against it but if what many had thought that this fleet was related to the unaccessible systems of Hoth and Hasroth than it would mean that they were not their when the Rusan Reform was signed meaning the republic could not force them to do anything since it was not part of the republic and many had no doubt that they would refuse to join.
