The woman nodded her head at Bryce as if to acknowledge his words. She tried not to speak so she didn't distract the man further. She felt oddly comfortable to be at this meeting. Had she grew accustom to the politics of business, or politics in general. No matter she was at ease. Finally she could hear voices from outside the door. She could make out jorus and another voice that sounded like... "Cam?" She said quietly to herself.

The door would open with jorus walking in all so casual. He announced others the others had arrived. Although she wasn't focused on him. Sanya was focused trying to look past everyone to confirm the voice was her wife's. If it was her then she didn't know. It had been a while, half a galaxy appart made spending time together a rare treasure.

 

[Claire Organa]

"Thank you" Claire responded had they caught them off guard? She did tell them they were coming.."Jorus I'm glad we could make it out here" She smiled trying not to look you know the smile that people go oooo what's wrong with her.

She resumed her steps towards the door that Jorus was leading them to. She looked back at Dels shrugging her shoulders so the woman that was responsible for security for Alderaan was known. Excellent. Maybe she should talk and for a change Claire could stand still and look around but then reality was yeah they were all there for something.

They passed through the door, "I'm Claire, this is Andulf Teraan and Dels you know and picking up the back is Camellia of Rendili ." This was going to be interesting they were much more relaxed than anyone else she had met yet. They...well were casual. This made her laugh softly.

Inside she saw [member="Bryce Bantam"] and [member="Sanya Val Swift"] . As [member="Jorus Merrill"] made sure they were in the right place even if they had caught him trying to be dressed.

It was at that time as the small group of guest gathered and seem head off to proceed down the red carpet. Which he assumed had been laid down by their host for them to follow and follow it they did till eventually. Down the way, they come across another individual seem mid tuck his shirt and getting ready for the meet as well. To which seem as he turns his gaze at them pause as if he'd seen a ghost and blurts out.

“Dells? The feth? You're one of the Free Worlds delegates? Outstanding.”

At which time this cause him turn towards the direction he was looking at just as she then responds back.

"You can just call me Dells....but yeah, I've spent time in ORC space previously. Semi-decent folk."

And he passingly was intrigued enough to almost ask but keep the thought to himself as if not embarrass or antagonize their Host. After which seem to dispense with some the common protocol if only appear to shift the meet to a more casual rather than atmosphere. With the drop of title and opt to just their name instigated by Countess Claire. Andulf smiled with a hand extended shook his hand in the common casual greeting.

"Appreciate the invite to meet and...."

Slip a glance at Del then back to their host.

"....I guess we're all here and you two seem to know each other?"

Hearing the new voice say her name made the Rendili woman turn her attention from the other Free World Coalition members, though she supposed she was out of time anyway to hear if they had any advice for how to address the Outer Rim group. A little surprise though was the man that called out to her was Jorus Merrill, and for a reason she almost failed to remember. ​"Ah! It has been a while since then Mr. Merrill. I honestly have to say I was sorry to not get many opportunities to hold classes there, though it felt like even when one could hold classes they went slow didn't they. I probably shouldn't be surprised that a rather famous explorer and traveler like yourself is out here, but I guess I was caught off guard by the fact you remembered me. I'll take that as a good sign on my part."

Following the group in as the door opened, Camellia easily spotted her wife in the room since there weren't exactly a large number of people saturating it. Seeing her made the shipwright owner turn red as her ears and tail twitched. She hadn't known Sanya would be at the same meeting. While she knew that Sanya had been busy since relocating after Sekalus and that she had setup out this way, the Rendili woman hadn't known her wife had ties to the Outer Rim Coalition or would appear here. It left her embarrassed since she could have sent a message and brought it up if she had thought about the possibility when she knew she was coming out here. Still, she didn't want to interrupt the official greetings even if she wanted nothing more than to embrace her love. So instead she silently smiled to her wife, hoping she could slide closer to the other Croa woman at some point during the meeting and get more intimate afterward.

 

[The Story Narrator]

A little trickle of sound began to filter into his cockpit he smiled in victory. He listened to the words spoken not know all of the names in the room. But he certainly felt like he could single them out one by one..

Let's take the introductions first...

Claire - very obvious

Andulf - ahh another hippie peace lover with no clue of how to fight his way out of a paper bag. Just listen to him following them doing as he was told.

Dels ---l hmmmm...he had to think ohhhh Delila . umhmm temptress in a red dress with red hair. Last he heard about her she had gone green...

Camellia - A cat..no...a...hmmm...here kitty kitty let's play

Jorus Merrill -- well well now there was a name ...hmm what to do about him....let's think on that

Bryce - Bryce Bryce can we kill you for a price?

an another kitty...Sanya what a lovely name...

Yes so far he had the names but now what brought this very interesting little group together....

His ship drifted a little further he couldn't let it go too far he'd lose his connection and that couldn't happen yet...no he had to know what they were up to these ORCS and Hippies of the Core.

High Marshal Bryce sat in the great hall of "the law" as he waited for ambassador Claire Organa or one of her aids to arrive. Build in the center of Liberty Falls it has been painstakingly dissembled and re-assembled within the great station. Around the circular table large white statues of the great marshals were carved into the walls. Their faces were hard and rugged like the systems they cared for. Trench coats upon their backs and gun of legend hung at their sides. Yes while many area's of the galaxy had monuments to the Jedi, Sith, or Ren. Here it was the Judges what were honored and feared. He they had kept the law, died for the people...

"....I guess we're all here and you two seem to know each other?"

"Yeah, Colonel Castillon and I ran the Rebel Alliance together - the real one, ages back, way before that Benefactor crap. Nice to meet you folks." Jorus refocused on Delila. "What's your status these days, Dells? They made you a general yet?"

And yeah, it looked like the meeting was about to start. Jorus caught [member="Bryce Bantam"]'s eye and took a seat across the round table from the ginger Zeltron.

 

[Bryce Bantam]

Bryce looked up from his playing and caught Jorus eye. Seems everyone had arrived, or enough had arrived for things to begin. Bryce lay he guitar down upon the table and looked over those gathered.

"Afternoon all, please have a seat at the conference table. Deligates from all member system have called in and are looking forward to this meeting. I'm not sure who would like to begin but you have the floor."

Bryce sat down at a near by seat and waited to see who would leave the FWC.

Sanya's face lightened up from the sight of her wife. Even a calming smile reached her lips as the woman beckoned her over. The room had plenty of seats and well it would be nice to be next to her again. "Hey hunni." She whispered to her wife. "I've missed you. I sent you a ton of messages but not one got through. I will explain later okay."

The woman stood up and took a deep breath. "Evening everyone. Some of you may know me, others not. My name is Sanya Val Swift. I would like to start things off with a thank you to everyone for coming today. Before we all get comfortable I would like to point out that there are snacks, water and caf over there on the table. So please help yourself." Sanya said as she pointed out the table to everyone. After all for those who get nervous talking having a drink can help calm them and make a necessary short pause to quickly think how to continue. something she had picked up during business meetings.

"Secondly It would be nice to know everyone's names and what they hope to achieve from this meeting. As I've said my name already I will get to what I hope to achieve today. I'm not entirely sure how far word had spread out but a few months ago now the world I called home along with many other was destroyed. The planet of Sekalus had been caught in a supernova as it remains nothing exists there.

During that time many people from all over helped my people evacuate the world and relocate. This presents problems and opportunities. I'm hoping to create new contacts today that would benefit my people and those who are willing to help us in return." She ended with a smile then sat down. There was no real need to delve far into the details yet but it was enough to make her intentions clear while showing honesty setting a level of trust.

​

It was then soon enough as he posed the question that his answer came at which time he'd kept silent listen.

"Yeah, Colonel Castillon and I ran the Rebel Alliance together - the real one, ages back, way before that Benefactor crap. Nice to meet you folks."

And replies back though tried as he did to hold back the faint grin on his face while he passingly glace back forth between the two once over.

" I see so guess you two had have partaken of working side by side with the Rebel Alliance...the real one you say? Which I guess when you said ages back am safe to assume it was quite a length of time that you two seem have had quite some history of knowing each other then."

At which time standing down to move stay on the sideline by the Princess he couldn't quite help his close comment about make general and all. But then another came meet the group to divert his attention.

"Afternoon all, please have a seat at the conference table. Delegates from all member system have called in and are looking forward to this meeting. I'm not sure who would like to begin but you have the floor."

 

[Claire Organa]

There seemed to be a lot going on. Claire noted that [member="Jorus Merrill"] knew [member="Delila Castillon"] interesting. And that [member="Sanya Val Swift"] and [member="Camellia Swift"] shared the same name were they related? So she looked at [member="Andulf Nicholas Teraan"] then [member="Bryce Bantam"]

"Oh I'm Claire Organa" she made her way towards the table reaching out fir water as she passed the well placed snacks. She nodded thanks to Sanya.

"I'm here in behalf the coalition with Lord Teraan and Ms. Castillion to speak to you about trade possibilities." She slid into a chair. Thankful for a seat afraid she would weaken and fall.

She looked to every one. She had this feeling. Trade was only going to be one thing discussed.

 

[Camellia Swift]

[member="Jorus Merrill"] [member="Andulf Nicholas Teraan"] [member="Bryce Bantam"] [member="Claire Organa"] [member="Sanya Val Swift"] [member="Delila Castillon"]

As she made sure to sit at the conference table next to her wife while their host gave a brief outline over how the meetings would go, Camellia had to admit she quickly found herself red as Sanya whispered to her and enlightened her to the fact she was behind on communications. If had been a little while, but she could have sworn she had been on top of things. . . .unless she had forgotten to actually send messages back and only thought about doing it. Before she could try and find out how behind on keeping in touch with her spouse she was, Sanya stood up and began an introduction like their host had suggested. At the very least the Rendili woman was up to date about Sekalus and sending Sanya resources, though she hadn't paid much attention to the whole relocation process. Her wife had been more hands on with Sekalus than her so she didn't feel like she really had much of a say what world would be alright to replace it.

Supposing it would be best to make her introduction sooner rather than later, Camellia took a breathe and stood as she smiled softly to the mixed group. "I suppose some of you may know me as well. I'm Camellia Swift, head of Rendili Stardrive. Given the shipwright's history I'm not sure much elaboration is needed, but as of now I am seeking to extend our services further outside the Inner and Mid-Rim worlds. We offer civilian starships, as well as military starship production for Planetary Defense Forces and Galactic Governments. The Outer Rim isn't an entirely safe place, so it is my hope to offer a resource in reliable starships for defense forces to protect local systems from pirate presences."

She was contracted to provide security to new station, she also had a lot good pass through here. She was also decided to keep a low profile, the meeting was important to outback, as she did not like the organa family. She was going to spend most her time in security office, though she did have housecarls with her, and they may have been seen on the station, as well as some of her troops, on transit going to expeditions of world. She had no intention of doing anything, other than monitoring station security, which was her job. Especially after the incursion attack, now their was no maintenance droids, it was being done pioneers as well as others they managed to recruit for the job. This made secuirty harder, as droids where unlikely to steal or attack people. Though droids where being brought back into service. Her ship which was recently commissioned, was in the docking bay ninety five.

She just going over manifest of the todays jobs, and making sure the supervisors knew what they had to do. As the new security management was being trained up, as they got killed in the incursion.

​

At which time as Andulf slowly took in the name as well the face of those attending the meet and committing them to memory for now. As he stood by Countess Claire side note how she then passingly came look his way. Which made him wonder but then again no sooner had she turn glance to another in attendance that she spoke.

"Oh, I'm Claire Organa."

Pausing briefly to then add.

"I'm here on behalf the coalition with Lord Teraan and Ms. Castillion to speak to you about trade possibilities."


To which with a nod he acknowledges her introduction of him and then as she moved to other in their group. That he could help still feel a slight tinge of sadness as well a bit of nostalgia. As the passing memory of how as in his youth he kinda found it amusing as well silly the way, his father made such a big fuss about proper introduction or title. And how he used to joke about it in private with his twin sister behind their parents back. Then to now be the one take over and address as such, it seems the same manner as that which his father and his brother-in-law stead.

At which time as he slowly tried to at best ease into do or act as much what his current formal duties and appointment required of him. That he then escorted and stand by Countess Claire side as she then having taken some refreshment water off the stand then took her seat as did he. In the table laid out for them having taken some the refreshment himself and settled in. A glance about while his faithful and trusted Cpt of the House Guard kept watch as he blended in on the sideline.

"I'm Captain Jorus Merrill. I'm here for moral support and to embarrass old friends. We're always open to trade possibilities, and I'm sure some of our member worlds would be interested in buying Rendili. Some of the ships you've churned out have been pretty solid. The Coalition doesn't operate with pet shipyards like a lot of other places do. We make some of our own, but most of our ships get built by member worlds. Quality can vary, lack of standardization causes supply line troubles, and there's always a shortage of components. That right there, frankly, is where you're likeliest to find markets out there: starship components. I could point to twenty folks within five parsecs who'd buy all the ion engines and shield generators you could throw at'em."

 

[Delila Castillon]

[member="Jorus Merrill"] | [member="Andulf Nicholas Teraan"] | [member="Elaine Thul"] | [member="Camellia Swift"] | [member="Claire Organa"] | [member="Bryce Bantam"] | OOC Note :

Spoiler

Sorry for the lare reply!

Ms. Castillon sounded....weird. No one had called her such a thing, well, never. There was always some type of title involved, Captain Castillon, General Castillon and so forth. Not Colonial Castillon though, eyes turned dark as she shot a warning glance towards Merrill. That title hadn't been deserved her in opinion, more of a role she had been thrust into a bit. Wasn't something she preferred to talk about - although Dells was incredibly proud of the Rebel Alliance. The real one.


She listened to Jorus prattle on about quality of vessels coming out of ORC. Her Castillon-Class was top notch but then again she was extremely biased on that one. Rendili could use a boost though, seemed ORC was a fairly underserved area. Wasn't the core so it wasn't as if companies were flocking to offer goods and services.


Delila thought about introducing herself but they were already onto other topics - it was clear most knew who she was now if they didn't before. Kicking back in the comfortable chair, the redhead was merely here for the same reasons as Merrill - moral support, random ideas.

 

[Bryce Bantam]

Bryce looked up from his guitar he had been strumming quietly as they all had been talking. Running his hand over a control pad the he projected a 3D map of the area and space lanes that ran through the "southern" coalition.

"Facilities are not built up around here like they are in the core or mid rim. Honest truth is while some planets have a damn fine defense fleet most planets are using second hand or worse ships to defend themselves. Their are a lot of untapped resources around here, take aurodium now powering the rush on Zonju V. We have been given permission to bargain on behalf of a few coalition worlds. Raise them a fleet to help them keep their citizens safe...

Pergitor, tough as nails people. You need a citadel stormed they are your crew. They are looking for ships that embody these principles.

Jelucan, one of the finest naval academy in the area, but ships are scarce. They are looking for ships to give their midshipmen real life experience.

Adarlon, beautiful planet, and they like fancy things and Big ships. Ones that can both defend and serve as tourism as well."

Bryce went back to playing softly so those in attendance could consider his words.

Sanya waited for her wife to finish introducing herself and what her intentions was. A small smile reached her lips as she was pushing for more business. She got enough paperwork as it was. Can was the only person she knew that could create a large organized mess and still work. Sanya wondered if it was time she had to put her office straight again. Although the rendili woman might have actually kept it tidy.

Once Camellia sat down Sanya's hand reached out the hers. She missed this feeling of been able to touch her wife and feel the warmth radiating from her skin. She couldn't let herself get distracted as Sanya focused back an those who spoke. It had finally got to Bryce again listing some of the worlds and needs.

"Ancora is the world me and my people relocated to after the Sekallien disaster. While the world has perfect conditions for my people we lack a lot of necessitys.

The mining colonies are asking for more mining equipment that is efficient. Residential areas still have many people in prefabricated housing, but with manufactured materials running so low it's slowed down. More jobs also need to be opened up meaning there is room for companies to set up and trade. The more we have to offer the more trade Ancora will get."

It was then listening and hear the breakdown of the need as well the situation at hand within their host turn up a planetary hud display of their system as he spoke. Andulf no less took the moment think thing thru in regards to what House Teraan could put down on the negotiation table. While some the other put out theirs which soon he was able to that he spoke.

"Seem to be quite the undertaking we have here with both abundant possibilities as there is need but just the same. As it stands thought Teraan Holding is a relatively new upstart holding I Andulf Teraan am planning to continue. We would be more than willing provide financing as well other resources that would assist in initiate the startup of homegrown industries as well urban development. Seeing as we have quite a pool of skilled artisans as well Master traders or builders that are well versed as they are skilled in dealing with urban or rural development ."

Taking Sanya's hand when it reached for her own, Camellia gave her wife a smile while she listened to everyone else talk for a bit. The famous explorer using the term 'pet shipyard' nearly made the Rendili woman growl though. It was likely not meant in an insulting manner, since some shipyards did tie themselves to a single group trying to become their only peddler. However, the galaxy wasn't so easily divided into a few power groups anymore like it was during the height of the wars the Sith waged on everyone else. Plus it was true that many worlds developed their own starships, so a shipwright couldn't possibly try to sell to every world within a faction either. Both Jorus and their host did offer solid advice about the component sales though, and the host even further suggesting what certain interest groups needed.

"It's not like I'm trying to ram Rendili Stardrive's whole catalog down anyone's throats. If any world has no starship capabilities or they are discontent with what they have, our mass produced cruisers are highly capable, afforadable, and probably easier to maintain than patchwork ships. We're perfectly content to sell those ion engines and shield generators you mentioned though as well if that's all anyone needs or wants. Although I will openly say Rendili shields in general are not typically anything beyond standard. If you know anyone whose looking for Reactor Technology though, our Proton-8 Reactors are certainly the best on the market. I'll take your suggestions on who Rendili should look to contact and what they're looking for to heart as well. We do have an older boarding craft design we could market for the Pergitor." Trying to keep her words short while covering the bases, the Croa woman flicked her tail as she smiled eagerly. making business was plenty fun in a way after all. "As for Ancora, Rendili has some laser diggers I'm more than happy to supply or donate. Seeing as business for Rendili Stardrive might pick up here from what our Host has suggested at least the idea of putting at least an office and record keeping structure on Ancora as a contact point here wouldn't hurt and would help you with jobs."

 

[The Story Narrator]

What he heard when they spoke were not their strengths but weaknesses. He noted the names quickly and silently if nothing else this little band would give him targets of opportunity.

Well. He smiled satisfactorily.

He reached over in an exaggerated motion over his head planting a single digit upon a lonely red button.

Quickly three drones dropped off the wings of his ship.

Their mission. Infiltrate. Convert. Eliminate the FWC members.

Their master then brought the engines of his ship on line and disappeared from the sector as quickly as he had come. Leaving the drones to their fate.
