"Lady Tanith my name is Jun Fett'ahd. I am the C.E.O of Saber Shipping and Mining and Saber Corp. I think we should meet to discuss matters here at Malastare."

"Very well Mr. Fett'ahd I will fly over to you. Where are meeeting?"

"My flag ship the Specter. The Eclipse class SSD 30 km off your port side. I will send my sqaudron as escort."

"Very well give me 30 minutes. Draegon out."

"Jun what is going on" asked Lyn.

"It would seem the Empire is in control of this sector of space now. This lady Tanith is the new warden. She is based out of Bastion former capitol of the old Galactic Empire after the fall of Coruscant. I will be meeting with her to bring her up to speed on what is going on here on Malastare, and probably renegotiate our deal with the citizens of Malastare."

"What should me and my people do?"

"Nothing wait no you have underworld contacts correct? Contact them see if you can find anything on this Lady Tanith."

"I'll see what we can dig up."
Lyn took off for her hangar and called her crew on her comlink. "Guys we need to do a dirt find on a Lady Tanith from Bastion."

"Bloodhound 2 suit up escort mission a lady of the Sith is coming over on a shuttle from the SSD Draegon ." Ordered Jun.

"Copy sir we will roll out the red carpet for the lady." Answered Bloodhound 2. Captain of Jun's personal bodyguard.

Bloodhound squadron lifted off in unison and left the hangar. As they approached the Super Star Destroyer a custom kuat drive personal shuttle painted black with purple accents exited a hangar.
"Lady Tanith this is Bloodhound 1 we have visual and are ready to escort you to the Specter."
"Thank you. I see you are flying eta 5 stealth interceptors very nice."
"Yes mam."
The squadron formed up in a diamond formation around the shuttle again in perfect unison.

"I see you boys have done this before been flying together long?"

"All our lives."

That is an interesting reply thought Tanith combat squadrons always lose someone to age or death either they are green or young recruits.
The flight over was uneventful. As they landed and disembarked from their ships Tanith could see the Specter's Captain in his military uniform perfectly pressed and adorned with rank and medals. Next to him was a human man middle aged wearing a white suit similar in style to that of a grand admiral in the Galactic Empire. Her escorts stopped saluted the two and the leader introduced them.
"Sir may I introduce Lady Tanith of Bastion. My lady this is Jun Fett'ahd and Captain Lyson."

The Captain snapped to attention. Jun bowed his head and spoke.
"Lady Tanith a pleasure to meet you in person if you would please follow me to my office. Captain you are dismissed."
"Yes sir. My lady welcome aboard." The captain did a quick about face and exited to their right. Jun led her to their left the pilots formed up behind them. When they reached his office two of the pilots took up guard positions outside the other two followed them inside. The office was luxurious but not too much so it almost felt bland on purpose like Jun didn't want to give anything away to outsiders.

" I will be brief 2 years ago there was a cataclysmic event here on Malastare no one is sure of how or why but this once green world turned, for lack of a better term, inside out. Volcanoes erupted earthquakes split the ground lakes of this green chemical rose up where cities used to be. 1/3 of the population died in 3 days another third in the weeks to come. My company had a mining facility here we were harvesting the chemical that now fills most of the view it is a great fuel supply. We received word from the manager of the event. We mobilized all we could to help scientists engineers construction crews we had the orbital stations here within a month evacuated everyone we could. Given the value of the chemical and its surface location the government was nervous about how they could control the export and the security of their most valuable and really only resource. They came to me I agreed to a deal that would give my company sole rights to the chemical a base of operations for my Saber corp and 40% of the profit of the sale of the fuel 60% goes to the citizens of Malastare."
