Eyes squinted against the massive barren landscape of the unknown moon. Orbiting Phaegon III, it was the largest in orbit, and also the most profitable of all those scouted. If it had a name, it was lost to time and war, now laying quiet. As far as Makai knew, the moon used to be a major mining hub - as evidenced by the massive structure built into the side of the cliff. Work was currently on going to bring it operational once more.

The Sith Order had thrown its doors wide open to commerce. A bill had passed providing opportunity for corporations and business to flourish. There were stipulations, as with anything in life, yet the terms were fair. Unlike some governments, there was no punishment for working with an opposing ideology, key for someone like himself.

The scope of what he had planned was massive. Many worlds were off the beaten path and rich with ores. A few he had in mind for expansion of ocean and kelp farming. His main focus on the unnamed moon was lignan ore. The large moon was practically coated in the stuff. Makai was mildly surprised no one was here until now.

Considering the large scale of his ambitions, he had called in Marquis Nargath to form a partnership together in Sith Order territory. There was more than enough business for both of them - more than either could handle really - and having someone else to help lay the foundation for mining in the area would be invaluable.

After craning his head upward at the giant structure, Makai finally turned to the Marquis.

"Structure should be operational soon for joint efforts. Mining should be underway soon, at least in this area. It will take a great effort to build and streamline a supply chain away from the mining worlds - some of these planets are off the beaten path. An advantage now, the isolation has kept other companies at bay."

He paused for a moment.

"I am sure you have thoughts."

The Marquis was quite amazed by the massive structure in front of him, the moon in all honesty didn't have much to show for, except the absolute presence of mining facilities. Though a lot of these structures and facilities seemed to be old, dilapidated and just plain decayed in some parts, the one structure they were standing close to had managed to maintain its magnificence, having weathered the barren moon's unrelenting drift of dust and sands.

From what he had gathered, the moon had been wiped clean from all of its life by a couple of deranged Sith Lords in the distant past, taking along part of the moon's crust with it, looking at Makai Dashiell gleaming at the structure, the harsh light forcing the both of them to squint, Tertius let out a gentle sigh. "I could build one or two powerplants on a central location to make sure your mining facilities can run without much of a hassle."

Chuckling ever so slightly, the Eriaduan noble looked up at the structure as well. "Will you be trying to restart the old facilities or will you set up new lines?"

Bending through his legs and reaching for the dust and what looked like grains of grayish sand underneath their feet, the Marquis held a small heap of the material in his hands, lifting it up a bit to the sun before blowing at it, dusting off his hands at his coat. "I reckon for now my best guess would be that you'll probably have your own people start surveying the old mines and possible new locations, right?"

Turning his back towards Makai for a moment, the Marquis motioned his Valkan guards to approach from the shuttle he had arrived at this place with, directing them to spread out a bit and take samples of the 'soil' they had been threading on. "Lignan, hmm... strange how this place seems to have been missed or rather ignored for so long."
