Elicia Hejaran
Durasteel Shadow
It had been years since Elicia had set foot in her home system. It wasn't an ecumenopolis like Coruscant, nor did it have the same grandeur, but Obulette did have its own certain charm. The familiar taste of the air, the bustling streets, it was all quite nostalgic. That nostalgia though was not long after undermined by reminders that this Obulette was not the Obulette of yesterday. The influence of the Sith had tainted her home, and subtle symbols of being within the clutches of the Confederacy were commonplace. It was almost as if the planet was trying to seem normal. It just wasn't.
One day, House Mecetti would make its return to the system. Some would say it had never left, but those ground in reality would accept that remnants did not make up the whole, nor did they represent it. Just as an imperial remnant couldn't flout itself as the empire, the same could be said for House Mecetti. Today, however, was not the day that it would make its return. The Confederacy's grip on the system still held, but it is for that exact reason that Elicia found herself back where she never thought she'd return in her lifetime.
Normally, she'd have to mind her presence given the high profile of those within the House's good graces. As it would turn out, the Hejaran family's prominence took a bit of a hit when their presence in the system waned. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, however; there was little need to avoid crowds, as she walked the bustling city streets. Identifying and opening suitable locations for safehouses and weapons caches would require some degree of discretion.
It was because of the backing of larger powers in the galaxy that Elicia could take some of the first steps to formalizing her return to the Tapani sector. Those powers joined her on Obulette, and would continue to empower Elicia and House Mecetti so they could reassert themselves in the Tapani sector and thrust the Confederacy from their home. Such boldness have to come another time.
"Are you sure? All the requisitions have been processed already?", Elicia asked incredulously.
Maybe she'd be able to make a more permanent return home sooner than she thought.
