The Spacepiress of Chaos
R E C O N N O I T E R
The vessel was old, though the two had that in common; what wealth that she had once, that might have permitted her to acquire a vessel of higher standard was left behind when she returned to the Galaxy. A decade after the fall of the Confederacy, she had only returned once she grew restless and felt a calling that pulled her from the Shiraya Expanse. Those that remained behind were safely secluded on Khrea, hidden away from the Galaxy at large and no longer a target for those that had sought the downfall of the Confederacy. Oddly enough, the woman had found herself once more at the side of an old friend, and in Sith Territory no less. Here she was once more, having barely found her way back and already falling into the trappings of civilized society as she sought to avoid the infighting and political intrigue that wracked the Sith Order.
She was far removed from that power struggle at the moment, aboard a vessel that was carefully slipping through the Polis Massa Asteroid Field, and yet, she still felt anxious. Her stomach churned and worry had seemingly crawled up her throat, residing as a lump that she seemingly couldn't dislodge. She had only recently reunited with
Srina Talon
, having been apprised of all that had happened since their parting when Naboo fell. The Dread Queen... no, that title was wrong now, The Dread Empress, had been in the gardens when the woman met with her, planting a blue flower in a sea of red. Just like that, she was once more at her side, willing to take action to protect one of the few remaining friends that she had in the galaxy, a woman that had pulled her from her darkest moment when she sought to walk away from everything.

What little she was able to collect from their first meeting provided her the means to come to a basic understanding of the current political spectrum of the Sith. A Civil War was brewing, no, it was ongoing between the Emperor and another that sought the title. She couldn't care less, it was more politics, armies, and fleets; all of which she had her fill of and could spend another hundred or two years without and still be content. A heavy sigh slipped from her lips as she carefully corrected her course, avoiding the largest fragments and allowing her shields to deal with the smaller more minuscule strikes. For her part she had taken on her own task, to provide the Dread Empress with protection, not that she wasn't capable of doing so herself; rather, she wanted to ensure that she had individuals around her that weren't there to collect power and wealth at the Empress' cost.
The task that was lain out before her was one of her own design, a first step to secure a location that could serve a purpose, not at the moment, one in the future. Polis Massa had a rich history; sure that she was not the only one seeking its history or utilizing the asteroid belt - her goal still remained. As the vessel crest the horizon of the largest known fragment, a heavy sigh slipped from her lips as the vessel slowly approached the last known location of the Polis Massa Base; to her chagrin, it was nothing more than ruins, ancient, it had likely already been picked over by those that came before.
"Still, there might be something left worthwhile..."
Speaking softly for a moment as she surveyed the site before her, much of its original structure had been destroyed, though there still seemed some portions of the structure that remained intact. There remained a slight glimmer of hope that the location could still serve a purpose for the woman, though she also knew that this was not the only sizable fragment of the planet that had once been. If she couldn't find what she was looking for here, she still had a chance to collect what she needed at another location, perhaps one deeper in the asteroid field. For now, she would settle for the old ruins of the base as she began to initiate the landing sequence, permitting the astromech to take over as she slipped from the seat to prepare herself.
