A slender brow perked up archied in curisoity as the InterStellar Stock Exchange appeared on the compact desk screen for him to peruse. He squinted slightly, trying to make out the numbers and figures displayed on the screen, his mind racing with possibilities and potential opportunities. The fluctuations in the graphs and charts depicted the varying market conditions during the year 903 ABY. ​

​

Evidently, the armament and shipbuilding sectors were in a state of excitement as they successfully obtained numerous profitable agreements from both the Galactic Alliance and the Dark Empire. These contracts ensured the continuation of the war in the forthcoming months.​

​

The Banking Clan demonstrated a proactive approach during the onset of the war by closely monitoring the battle of Coruscant to secure victory for the Alliance. With the Imperial Military in a state of demoralization, the Banking Clan's planets were safe from immediate capture, allowing them ample time to fortify their defenses and secure essential contracts. ​

​

One such contract was due to arrive any minute now through the ornate vault doors that lead into the Central Office near the top of the spire. ​

​

"A pleasure, my name is Director Odett Hallisk." The rather nasily voice of the Deputy Director chimed in, greeting the client as they walked through the doors. Allowing him to get a rough idea of whom he was dealing with. ​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

Ivalyn Yvarro stepped into the opulent halls of the InterGalactic Banking Clan's headquarters on Scipio, her footsteps echoing softly against the polished marble floors. The offices were a testament to both power and wealth, with intricate carvings adorning the walls and shimmering chandeliers casting a warm, inviting glow. The air was tinged with a subtle fragrance of exotic flowers, a stark contrast to the sterile, utilitarian spaces she was accustomed to in Dosuun.

Ivalyn's appearance was striking against this backdrop. She wore a tailored suit in deep amethyst, the fabric catching the light in a way that accentuated its quality. Her blonde hair was impeccably styled, falling in sleek waves around her shoulders. The only adornment was a single brooch, the fleur-de-lis, a family heirloom, pinned just above her heart, a subtle nod to her storied lineage. Her brown eyes, sharp and discerning, surveyed the room with a mix of curiosity and determination.

As she approached the grand meeting room, her thoughts were laser-focused. This meeting with the IGBC was pivotal. Ensuring the Commonwealth's economic resilience and growth was not just a goal; it was a necessity. The recent alliance with the Sith Empire brought both opportunities and challenges, and Ivalyn knew that financial strength would be their greatest asset in maintaining autonomy.

Her mind wandered briefly to the Autarch, the digital currency she envisioned. Reintroducing it could be a masterstroke—an innovative way to cultivate capital without directly impacting the GDP. The Sith Empire would eventually call for cash in order to secure the Commonwealth's sovereignty, and a robust economic strategy was essential.

Entering the lavish meeting room, Ivalyn was greeted by the IGBC representatives. She exchanged pleasantries, all the while mentally organizing her thoughts. Renewable energy projects were a cornerstone of her agenda. Securing investment for these initiatives would not only ensure sustainable growth but also position the Commonwealth as a leader in green technology.

Expanding their financial services was another priority. The Commonwealth needed to diversify its economic portfolio, offering a range of banking and investment products to its citizens. This would not only strengthen the internal economy but also attract external investors, fostering a climate of economic confidence and stability.

Ivalyn took her seat at the long, mahogany table, its surface gleaming under the soft light. She looked around over in the direction of the nasily voice, the Deputy Director had introduced himself. Likewise, Ivalyn introduced herself, "a pleasure, Ivalyn Yvarro, High Representative of the Dosuunian Commonwealth." She began, her voice steady and confident, "thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. Our agenda is multifaceted, but each point is critical for the Commonwealth's future. Firstly, we need to discuss the introduction of the Autarch as a digital currency. This initiative is designed to cultivate capital without negatively impacting our GDP, allowing us to maintain financial stability even as we prepare a tithe to the Sith Empire to ensure our autonomy."

She paused, making sure she had their attention before continuing. "Secondly, we seek your support for our renewable energy projects. Securing investment for these initiatives is not only crucial for our sustainable growth but also positions the Commonwealth as a leader in green technology. We're aiming to attract external investors and foster a climate of economic confidence and stability." With contracts secured with Salacia Consolidated, Aurora Industries and Arceneau Trade Company and its affiliates, the future of their renewable energy projects looked good.

"Lastly," Ivalyn said, her gaze unwavering, "I'd like to discuss the expansion of my nation's financial services. The Commonwealth must diversify its economic portfolio, offering a range of banking and investment products to our citizens. This will strengthen our internal economy and attract external investors, creating a robust economic environment."

"A great many things on the agenda, High Represenative Yvarro." The Muun interjected, while Miss Yvarro took her place in the lavish office. The Commonwealth was rapidly gaining prominence in the realm of economics, successfully acquiring agreements and becoming a vassal of the Sith Order, known user of the Galactic Standard Credit. The compact desk screen served as a platform to categorize and record each item on the agenda, enabling him to assess the potential profitability of investing in each sub-section.​

​

"Let's direct our attention to the first topic on the schedule, which is the revival of the Sith-Imperial Autarch, a form of currency established during Darth Carnifex's reign in the Sith Empire prior to the Third Imperial Civil War. Your proposed modification is to transform a physical currency into a digital one, a non-difficult task for the Banking Clan, I assure you but we must inform you of the risks." Odett elucidated in a gentle manner, aiming to educate her about the potential hazards of engaging in cryptocurrency trading, knowing that the galaxy conventionally operated using physical currency for transactions and exchanges since it was backed up by an issuing authority. ​

​

"The value of the AutarchDigital, will not be tied to any physical assets nor gurantees by the issuing authority, which would be the Banking Clan. Therefore it would fluctuate on the market, any investment that may be worth thousands of credits today could be worth only hundreds tomorrow. If the value goes down, there's no guarantee that it will rise again which would affect consumer confidence." - Her gaze was returned with one of his own, making sure that the Commonwealth understood that they would not back the value of the currency, as it currently stood. An investment using AutarchDigital could easily be worth only half, as the market decreases. ​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

Ivalyn took a deep breath, her thoughts coalescing into a clear strategy. She met Odett's gaze with unwavering confidence, fully aware of the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. "Thank you, Mr. Odett, for your thorough explanation and your candidness about the risks involved with transitioning the Autarch into a digital currency. I understand that the volatility of cryptocurrencies can be daunting, especially without the backing of a physical asset or issuing authority guarantees. However, the potential for growth and innovation in this space is substantial, and I believe we can navigate these challenges successfully with the right measures in place."

She paused, allowing her words to resonate, before continuing, "The Commonwealth is fully prepared to implement robust regulatory frameworks and risk mitigation strategies to manage these fluctuations. We plan to establish a reserve fund that can act as a buffer against market volatility, providing some stability and maintaining consumer confidence. This reserve fund will be carefully monitored and adjusted to respond to market conditions, ensuring that we can cushion any significant downturns."

Ivalyn's tone was measured and deliberate as she outlined her vision. "Moreover, we are committed to educating our citizens and investors about the nature of digital currencies. Transparency will be key. We will provide regular updates on the performance of AutarchDigital, and our financial experts will offer guidance to help users make informed decisions."

She leaned forward slightly, her hands resting on the elegant desk. "For the IGBC, this presents an opportunity to be at the forefront of a significant financial evolution. By collaborating with the Commonwealth, you not only diversify your investment portfolio but also position yourselves as leaders in the digital finance sector. We can explore innovative financial products and services that can be tied to the AutarchDigital, such as digital wallets, lending platforms, and blockchain-based solutions, all of which have the potential to generate substantial returns."

Ivalyn's eyes sparkled with determination. "In essence, our goal is to create a sustainable, resilient economic environment that benefits both the Commonwealth and our partners. By working together, we can transform the AutarchDigital into a stable and reliable currency that supports our long-term economic goals, including the repayment of our obligations to the Sith Empire without impacting our GDP. This collaboration can set a precedent for future digital currency initiatives across the galaxy."

She concluded, her voice steady and resolute, "I am confident that with the IGBC's expertise and our shared commitment to innovation and stability, we can make the AutarchDigital a success. Let us pave the way for a new era of financial prosperity and security for the Commonwealth and beyond."

"You've come prepared, most excellent." The Muun extended an attentive ear while the High Representative of the Commonwealth explained the reasons behind the potential success of investing in AutarchDigital for the Banking Clan. This investment would not only enable them to establish a prominent position in the digital financial sector of the galaxy but also provide a shield against the volatility of the market during the ongoing galactic wars.​

​

"Given such proactive proposals to ensure consumer confidence and transparency in cryptocurrency trading, the Banking Clan is prepared to swiftly register the AutarchDigital as a legitimate currency within the hour. Although we will require that the Commonwealth set up addtional lines of credit, to safeguard our investment should the venture turn out unprofitable." Odett gestured with his hand outstretched as he spoke. The Banking Clan was assured that the Commonwealth was fully aware of the risks associated with cryptocurrency trading in the market, but they needed them to purchase extended lines of credit from the Banks to ensure that their investment was protected. ​

​

"However, before proceeding much further, we need to inquire about the specific measures you have in place to safeguard against wealth falsification, pyramid schemes and slicing attempts. " He inquired if there was preventive measures implemented by the High Representative to safeguard consumers from the activities of criminal organizations utilizing the currency.​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

Ivalyn Yvarro felt a sense of satisfaction as the Muun acknowledged her preparation. She had anticipated their concerns and had come equipped with comprehensive solutions. Maintaining her poised demeanor, she responded confidently.

"Thank you for your promptness and willingness to proceed," she began, her tone measured and authoritative. Ivalyn popped up a small holographic comm, and activated the mini projection so that the Munn could see what she was talking about. "The Commonwealth recognizes the importance of establishing robust safeguards to protect both the investors and consumers in the realm of digital currency. The implementation of AutarchDigital is not just about creating a new form of currency; it's about ensuring stability and trust in an ever-evolving financial landscape."

Ivalyn leaned forward slightly, her hazel brown eyes locking onto the Muun's. "To address your concerns about wealth falsification, we have integrated advanced cryptographic protocols and blockchain technology that ensure every transaction is transparent and immutable. This effectively eliminates the possibility of double-spending or false transactions. Each unit of AutarchDigital will be traceable and verifiable, which will significantly deter fraudulent activities." She glanced over toward the projection and flipped through the slides and data.

She paused, allowing her words to resonate. "Regarding pyramid schemes and slicing attempts, we have a multi-layered security framework in place. This includes real-time monitoring systems powered by AI to detect and prevent fraudulent schemes and hacking attempts. We've partnered with leading cybersecurity firms to conduct regular audits and penetration tests, ensuring our defenses are always a step ahead of potential threats."

Ivalyn's voice grew more resolute as she continued. "Furthermore, to safeguard against the involvement of criminal organizations, we have implemented stringent KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) protocols. These measures ensure that all participants in the AutarchDigital ecosystem are thoroughly vetted, and any suspicious activities are flagged and investigated immediately."

She sat back, a slight smile playing on her lips. "We understand the necessity of additional lines of credit to protect your investment, and we are prepared to set these up. The Commonwealth is committed to this venture's success and is ready to provide the necessary financial backing to guarantee stability. By working together, we can establish AutarchDigital as a resilient and reliable currency that benefits both our entities."

Ivalyn's confidence was palpable, and her knowledge of the intricacies of cryptocurrency and digital finance shone through. She had addressed the Muun's concerns with precision, leaving little room for doubt about the viability of the AutarchDigital project.

"We are pleased to inform you that your responses have successfully addressed our inquiry, and we will begin the proper registration. Additionally - we are quite eager to proceed with the expansion of your credit lines within our institution." The Deputy Director observed the compact holographic projector on the table with narrowed eyes, while Miss Yvarro addressed the various concerns that the Muun had such as wealth falsification, pyramid schemes, and hacking attempts.​

​

The Commonwealth had come prepared, and so AutarchDigital's security would be ensured once the Banking Clan finalized the agreements registering it on the galactic monetary exchanges as a recognized currency. The Commonwealth would gain a new currency and the Banking Clan would have an avenue for reimbursement, although they had only covered one item on the agenda, with the next item being shown on the compact data screen on the desk.​

​

"The subsequent topic to be discussed is your proposition for the Banking Clan to allocate funds towards your sustainable energy initiatives, a venture we are willing to undertake in exchange for a share of the earnings generated. Specifically, we are considering a commission of approximately 12% from all transactions conducted within the galactic marketplace." Odett provided an explanation, expressing the desire to broaden the Banking Clan's investment portfolio while ensuring a substantial return on their capital. It was evident that the green sector presented promising opportunities, yet the dominance of tibannas gas in energy production remained unchallenged.​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

Ivalyn shifted her weight in the seat, her brown eyes sharp and focused, a small smile playing on her lips as she processed the Muun's words. The morning light streamed through the large windows of the meeting room, casting a warm glow over the sleek, modern furnishings.

"Thank you for your prompt response and for recognizing the security measures we've put in place for AutarchDigital. Ensuring its legitimacy and stability is a top priority for the Commonwealth, and we are pleased to have the Banking Clan's support in this endeavor."

She paused briefly, allowing her words to sink in before addressing the next topic. "As for the sustainable energy initiatives, we appreciate your willingness to invest and understand the need for a substantial return on your capital. The proposed commission of 12% is reasonable, considering the scope and potential of these projects."

Ivalyn activated the compact holographic projector, bringing up detailed data on the Commonwealth's energy strategy. "Our focus on geothermal energy on Najarka and biofuel initiatives on Baralou is part of a broader effort to diversify our energy portfolio and reduce our reliance on traditional sources like tibanna gas. By leveraging the natural geothermal vents on Najarka, we can harness a consistent and powerful energy source. Furthermore, biofuel production on ocean-heavy worlds like Baralou presents a unique opportunity to utilize local resources efficiently."

She shifted the display to show projected earnings and environmental impact assessments. "These projects are not just about immediate returns but long-term sustainability and energy independence. The Commonwealth is committed to leading the way in renewable energy, and with your investment, we can achieve significant milestones. The potential market for clean energy in the galaxy is vast and growing, and positioning ourselves at the forefront of this sector will yield substantial dividends."

Ivalyn's tone was confident, yet collaborative. "We propose structuring the commission in a way that aligns our interests. A 12% commission on transactions within the galactic marketplace is acceptable, but I suggest we also consider performance-based milestones. As we achieve specific targets in energy production and market expansion, we could adjust the commission rate to reflect the increased profitability and reduced risk."

She leaned back slightly, maintaining eye contact with the Deputy Director. "This approach ensures that both the Commonwealth and the Banking Clan benefit from the success of these projects. Our mutual goal is to create a stable and prosperous future, and I believe this partnership can set a precedent for innovative and sustainable economic growth across the galaxy."

The Muun expressed some satisfaction upon the Commonwealth's acceptance of the Banking Clan's 12% commission on transactions, carefully observing each and every word during the conversation to get a better understanding of their economic vision moving forward. ​

​

Only a few individuals dared to employ the phrases 'sustainability' and 'energy independence', during a time of total war and those who did were fortunate enough to possess ample reserves until the trade routes were devoid of hostilities.​

​

If the eco-friendly initiative were to triumph, the Commonwealth would ensure their continued existence even if the Sith Order were to collapse from internal pressure. The Deputy Director promptly observed that the Commonwealth failed to provide a detailed explanation of the technology's limitations and potential risks, presenting it solely in a positive manner.​

​

If the technology were truly perfect, numerous industries and planets throughout the galaxy would have already adopted it to power their own energy initiatives. ​

​

"We are open to restructuring the commission in a way that benefits both parties involved. However, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with information regarding the potential drawbacks of the technology and any risks that may arise from selling it on the galactic market. It is crucial for us to understand these factors as it would be difficult to achieve a profitable return if there is a lack of consumer demand." Odett maintained eye contact with the High Representative, exuding confidence as he raised a questioning eyebrow.​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

Ivalyn's response to the Muun's inquiry about the drawbacks of their sustainable energy technology was measured and confident. She understood the importance of transparency and the need to address concerns head-on. She felt the weight of the Muun's stare on her, but did not waver. Rather she cleared her throat and pressed on, and spoke with a pace that reflected her journalist background.

"Thank you for your candor, Deputy Director. Your points are well taken. Indeed, every technology has its limitations and risks, and our sustainable energy initiatives are no exception. While we are committed to reducing our reliance on pollution-inducing energies and ensuring energy independence for our citizens, we recognize the challenges ahead.

One of the primary drawbacks of our current technology is its scalability. At present, our renewable energy systems are optimized for our internal markets. To expand beyond our borders and sell on the galactic market, we must first achieve a level of technological development that ensures efficiency and reliability on a larger scale. This means significant investment in research and infrastructure, which can be both time-consuming and costly.

Additionally, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are dependent on environmental conditions, which can be unpredictable. For instance, solar energy requires consistent sunlight, which is not always available on every planet or during certain seasons. Similarly, wind energy relies on stable wind patterns, which can vary. To mitigate these issues, we are exploring hybrid systems that combine multiple renewable sources and energy storage solutions to ensure a stable and continuous supply."

She took a moment to gather her thoughts, and then Ivalyn continued. "Another potential risk is the initial cost of transitioning from traditional energy sources to renewable ones. While the long-term benefits include reduced operational costs and environmental impact, the upfront investment can be substantial. This transition period may require incentives and subsidies to encourage adoption, which could impact short-term profitability.

Regarding market risks, there is always the uncertainty of consumer demand. While there is a growing awareness and demand for eco-friendly technologies, the competition from established, albeit less sustainable, energy sources remains strong. We must continually innovate and improve our technologies to make them more attractive and cost-effective for a broader range of consumers.

However, our commitment to sustainability and energy independence is unwavering. Our goal is to develop these technologies to a level where they not only meet our own needs but also provide us with a strategic advantage. By generating more energy than we need, we can reduce our reliance on external sources and potentially leverage our energy surplus in negotiations with entities like the Sith."

Hearing the offer to restructure was intriguing and something she presumed was not often done. Still, she knew that this kind of opportunity did not come around often. "We appreciate the opportunity to restructure the commission to benefit both parties. By working together, we can address these challenges, improve our technologies, and ensure a profitable and sustainable future for the Commonwealth and the Banking Clan alike."

She took a moment to exhale and then added in finality, "we are currently working with Salacia Consolidated, and will be working with Aurora Industries in a collaboration to build and develop such technologies." Ivalyn hoped her response was thorough enough and addressed the Muun's concerns. It was all risk, but a greater risk as the Commonwealth was a relatively small nation but her vision was clear. Make enough to not only sustain the Commonwealth but develop a surplus to leverage over the likes of the Sith.

"The case you make for this investment is indeed intriguing; nevertheless, we are cautious about fully committing to a technology with inconsistent outcomes. We propose providing half of the investment for research and development purposes until a viable export market emerges." Upon learning about the potential hazards associated with the green energy initiative undertaken by the Commonwealth, the Muun displayed a keen interest in investing in the project. ​

​

However, they harbored reservations regarding the readiness of the market for a large-scale renewable energy source that had yet to be fully tested for all the kinks and delays. The Banking Clan opted to provide only half of the requested amount initially, rather than fully committing to the concept, in order to allocate funds towards the establishment of a lucrative export market.​

​

"Decreasing the investment will inevitably result in specific reductions and postponements in the implementation of the technology. It is crucial to recognize that investments involve risks, and one must exercise caution, especially considering the current state of the galaxy, which is plagued by various wars and conflicts." The Muun proceeded to say, displaying a gentle smile as a way of expressing regret. He wished for Miss Yvarro to comprehend that conspicuous investments could result in either success or failure for a company, and therefore, the banks needed to exercise even greater caution.​

​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

Ivalyn wasn't exactly surprised to hear that the Muun would be decreasing their investment, but any investment would be of great assistance. What the Muun likely did not know, or maybe they did and did not play to it, was that Aurora Industries, Primo Victorian Enterprises, and Salacia Consolidated would be three big players aside from the Commonwealth's own upfront investment in the technologies.

"We appreciate any support you can provide," she began, her tone steady but earnest, "even the smallest is still a helping hand toward our goals. We thank you, and if anyone understands just how volatile the galaxy can be, it is the Commonwealth."

A deep breath, and then an exhale as she paced herself.

"Now then, we will take any investment you are willing to offer. If only half of the initially proposed investment, then half it shall be. But of course, on the other end of that, the commission you obtain shall likewise be reduced by half," she stated, making it clear that this adjustment meant a greater profit share for the other parties involved. She exhaled softly as she shifted the holoprojector.

"At the moment, the Commonwealth's economy is strong, but it can be stronger still. We are looking at diversifying our economic portfolio," she continued, her voice reflecting her determination. "We are seeking any advice you can offer, and a chance, if you like. We are open to seeing IGBC's increased presence in our territories."

Ivalyn's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She felt the weight of responsibility, the need to secure a stable and prosperous future for the Commonwealth. Every word she spoke was carefully chosen, every gesture deliberate. The meeting room's atmosphere was tense but charged with potential. She could feel the Muun's calculating gaze, measuring her words and weighing their options.

As she concluded her statement, she couldn't help but reflect on the delicate balance they were striving to achieve. The Commonwealth was at a crucial juncture, and securing this investment, even if reduced, would be a step forward. She felt a mix of anticipation and determination, ready to navigate the complex economic landscape that lay ahead.

"We are willing to lower our commission rate to 7%; however, any further reduction would result in a decrease in profits from our investment. It is worth considering this adjustment if we expand the reach of AutarchDigital within our network." Odett gestured with his hand, acknowledging the need to lower the commission due to the Banking Clan's reduced investment. However, he emphasized the importance of still making a net profit from the technology sale on the galactic market and securing a substantial return. ​

​

The dissemination of AutarchDigital to their diverse investors and financial supporters within their network could potentially bring even greater profit to the Commonwealth. The Muun pondered as Miss Yvarro expressed her desire to diversify their economic portfolio and sought guidance on which market to enter at the present moment.​

​

"The raw material market stands out as the most lucrative industry for quick profits, especially with the Dark Empire and the Galactic Alliance importing large quantities of materials from different sectors and regions. This influx of resources is primarily aimed at financing the construction of ships and the manufacturing of weapons for the front lines." The Muun gestured broadly as he explained to the representative, indicating a market that would yield the highest returns in a brief period, as raw materials were essential for various purposes such as droid components and repairs.​

​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

"Seven percent it is," Ivalyn agreed to the Muun's request, understanding their need to make a profit. She listened attentively as the representative for the IGBC provided their advice. Considering the state of the galaxy, it made perfect sense for both the Dark Empire and the Galactic Alliance to import resources. Although she wondered if either entity had done much to develop the worlds under their care, Ivalyn made a mental note to check back on the progress of Commonwealth worlds.

"I will most certainly speak with the Secretariat on the matter, to see what we can do to increase our production of raw materials," she assured them.

"And as for AutarchDigital, once I arrive back in Avalonia, this shall be my first priority," she added, thinking of her pet project that she and the Secretary of Economic Affairs had been working on for quite some time.

"Well, I suppose if there's nothing further, then this has been quite the productive meeting," she concluded. "As mentioned, we are open to servicing the IGBC. Should you be interested in opening a... let's call it a regional headquarters for the Southern end of the Unknown Regions."

Ivalyn felt a sense of accomplishment as the meeting drew to a close. The negotiation had been challenging, but fruitful. The reduction to seven percent was fair, ensuring both parties benefited while still progressing toward the Commonwealth's goals. She glanced around the room, taking in the opulent yet efficient décor, and felt a renewed sense of purpose. The partnership with the IGBC was a step toward greater stability and growth for the Commonwealth.

"Most Excellent," Odett announced with a gentle smile, expressing his satisfaction over the approval of reducing the commission to 7% from 12% for all transactions related to the Commonwealth's green energy project once a proper market had been established. This adjustment would enable the Banking Clan to fund more projects within the Commonwealth, while also providing advantages to the Sith Order through their close ties. ​

​

It was not unreasonable for him to consider the possibility of the Commonwealth seeking independence from the Sith Order in the future, provided they could sustain themselves. ​

​

If this led to the emergence of a new influential power, it would simply offer another potential partner for diplomatic and trade relations. With a contemplative gesture, he raised his hand to his chin as the Representative hinted at concluding the meeting in the absence of any further topics for discussion. ​

​

"We've covered everything on the agenda, High Represenative Yvarro. In regards to the establishment of a new regional headquarters, your planets will be given top priority following a comprehensive consultation with the Director of the Banking Clan." The Muun used a straightforward hand motion to convey their intention of reassuring the Commonwealth that the Banking Clan would explore the possibility of establishing a new regional headquarters in their sphere of influence after consulting with the Director of the Banks, John Locke.​

​

​

 

[Ivalyn Yvarro]

The meeting with the IGBC had been productive. As Ivalyn gathered her things and rose to her feet, she listened as the Muun spoke once more, "We look forward to another productive meeting and hope to do more business with the IGBC in the future." The opportunity to have the IGBC expand its influence in the Commonwealth was promising.

Ivalyn, dressed in a sleek, professional outfit that reflected her polished demeanor, thanked the Muun for their time. "Until we meet again, take care, Director Hallisk," she said, offering a courteous nod.

The room, a grand conference hall adorned with intricate tapestries and polished wooden furniture, reflected the IGBC's wealth and influence. The soft hum of machinery and distant conversations created a subtle background noise. As she made her way to the exit, the walls, lined with portraits of past directors and historical achievements, seemed to echo the legacy of the institution.

Outside the meeting room, the bustling corridors of the IGBC headquarters were alive with activity. Droids and sentients alike moved with purpose, their footsteps blending into a symphony of efficiency. The architecture, a blend of modern design and traditional Muun elements, showcased the balance between progress and heritage.

Stepping into the atrium, Ivalyn took a moment to admire the view. Large windows offered a panoramic glimpse of the cityscape beyond, with sleek skyscrapers piercing the sky and airspeeders zipping through designated lanes. The sun cast a warm glow, illuminating the sleek, metallic surfaces and casting long shadows that danced with the movement below.

As she descended the grand staircase, her heels clicking against the marble, Ivalyn felt a sense of accomplishment. The meeting had been a step forward in strengthening the Commonwealth's economic ties. With a final glance back at the impressive structure, she exited the building, ready to continue her work with renewed vigor.
