She had come with droids she got from [member="Captain Larraq"], to get her hands on stygium crystals. She need for her shadow ships, she had come to planet with a her security personal detail provide by [member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"]. This was important and nothing was aloud to go wrong, she had learned a lot from cloaking ships in her time with dragons breath, which has probably been moth balled by [member="Ayden cater"]. She missed that ship, but time has changed she wanted a bigger ship to use for her needs.
She had come along way since being a member of the one sith, she was on her way to carving out er own empire. Though each step had calculated, as one step to far could ruin it before it had begun.

This is why these twelve ships she was making for her shadow fleet was important, they would be undetectable by current technology until it was too late. That would give her a decisive edge in war to come, as no doubt the one sith emperor would not tolerate another sith empire in his back door. She knew this would lead to war with them, but they have become corrupt and have corrupted the sith code.

When she made planet fall she had to meet local governor, who she had found delightfully weak minded. He was a mere a amphibious creature, a bit like [member="Darth Veles"] without the mind. She thought about about him for a moment, he was right about two things going back to light would never work. She then looked at her apprentice [member="Azreal"], and told him in his mind, ​When we meet this governor, watch what I do to get him to do my bidding. She was going to show basics of mind tricks, nothing fancy just enough to make the red tape disappear for her. The ship she was in was being piloted by [member="Thanith Gumara"], a young pilot who had become disillusioned by the one sith. She also had her first droid [member="Zero"], he was being programmed to control her legion of droids when [member="Amelia Deathman"], who was also here had built them.

Jaster was not a very happy figure to find when possessed with a mission that would be the first Conglomerate mission of top importance. The mining operation of the crystals he needed was being payed by the Empire, and this was not yet approved by the Merchant Board. Yet the recorded would be needed as leverage over the lead board member @Grimm. Grimms ships were vital to Jasters posistion as Viceroy of the UTC and with resources capable of keeping his ships top of the line. Well then Jasters position would be concrete and worries of future repositioning would be placed asside until a later date.

He arrived around the planet with his merchant fleet, enough construction droids and workers to get the Mining Facility up in a few months. This facility would offer the Conglomerate as one of its 4 main supply chains to their endever to explore the Unknown Region. Stealth fighters and exploration vessels, underdeveloped planets would offer a hundred opertunities for silent observation. Jaster made up his mind, and the conglomerate wouldn't have to pay a dime as Jaster carried the weight of the cost.

Thanith sat in the pilot's seat of Sabrina's ship an Adamata class Dropship. It was a far cry from the gunship he had been in last. He still liked it though. They were makign their way towards the planet surface apparently in search of some stealth technology crystals of some such. Thanith was just a pilot he let others worry about the finer details. When the scanner chirped he checked it quickly before turning his head slightly towards her.

"Ma'am we have company." "Looks like a merchant fleet of some type."

Thanith slightly cursed. He was not expecting a fleet to pop out of Hyper right were they were and the ship would in no way survive an engagement.

Jaster received word that the Imperials arrived first, Jaster saw that they were not that far from where they would be so Jaster figured he would need to radio in. He walked over to the Coms Terminal and spoke into the radio, "This is Viceroy Jaster Awaud of the Trade Conglomerate, sorry to arrive so late, send the quadrant you want us to land our supplies and we will begin construction."

Jaster fleet were mostly merchant vessels, this meant they were unarmed and couldn't fight. This didn't however mean they traveled without escort, as a 4 squadrons of interceptors were flying near the freighters.

That was to be expected pilot, we are here to make a mine for the components for my ships. She was not going to reveal to much yet, as she did not know if there was spies around or not. She then got the hail from the other fleet, and then sent him a message We need to land at this postion, from there we need to start construction of the submersibles. The planet was mostly water, and new vain of the rock had been discovered under the sea. She was going to construct a giant dome down there, over the head of mine. Then use the locals and her own people to mine and sort the crystals out, this is whilst the merchant fleet did the transportation and the building for her. The cost of this mine was funny, she was not paying for it. The locals where, and in return they got jobs. Though thanks to mind trick, the government was paying for them too. Her only out lay was to the fleet. Who cost would be cover by raw materials coming through, in all her interest on her small fortune was not even being dented for this.

How ever as they came closer to the planet she felt something in the force another, she was unsure what. So she was on her guard, her plans were in the infancy at moment. Who and what could it be, she would find out soon enough....

 

[Lord Zrixtas]

He had landed on this planet near some sort of floating landing pad. Walking down the landing pad a few sparks flew out the side of his body and he cursed a little at how broken down this body had become. Ah no matter he was here to get supplies to build a new body at least that was what he thought. Once fully outside on the open air he directed his optical's towards the sky, someone or something was coming and it was a powerful entity in the force.
His interest was piqued and he decided to go back into his ship and put it's scanners on to find out what was approaching the planet, to his surprise it was a large fleet above the planet and it was heading a little way away from Zrixtas's location.
With a click from his vocal modulator intent on being like a humans sucking of the teeth he closed his loading ramp and turned his ship on, he would meet this entity. It felt like it could perhaps give him something a purpose or possibly not at all but he wouldn't waste an opportunity to find out.

Jasters merchant fleet started to enter the planets atmosphere to start unload all of the supples for the construction project. This was when Jaster would land his drop ships near the water and unleash the underwater construction droids. This area was dangerous terrain as the mine was to be constructed on the side of a underwater mountain. There was no flat ground on this sea floor so it was a little uneasy to construct a facility.

Jaster wasn't goin to give up though, "Alright divers, we can't land on the small landing pad so this ships are gana hover above the water and got diving in, the supplies will be escorted to the landing pad where a above water facility will be put together, once there droids will start with the over water facility for the workers, then dive under for continues work, divers will do the precision work and keep their eyes open for unstable rock movements, the droids aren't prepared for that stuff."

Jaster was forced to yell as the hanger doors opened for the divers and drop ships to exit the vessel. Hopefully this would be a routine construction job.

Thanith nodded when Sabrina seemed to be expecting the other Fleet. So instead he focused on flying. He banged the ship slightly making a small course correction to ensure the smoothest descent through the atmosphere of the planet. It seemed like asking questions not on the agenda which suited him just fine.

"Entering the atmosphere now ma'am making our final approach."

He looked over a the other crew members with a nod. No pilot ever liked being kept in the dark. Some times however it was needed. Besides there was somethign about Sabrina that told him it was best not to press. She looked like the type to get violent when challenged.

She gave Jaster a strange look, as if to say erm I not got my swimming gear with me. She was not liking the idea of going into water with diving gear, as she had not prepped for it. She then asked him, Can the submersible not come to us, or have none been made yet? As if one or two were ready she could, at least travel down with one.

she then looked at pilot, and told him I guess your wondering why all the cloak and dagger, well it is because we found a vain raw materials down there. The base of which will help us build cloaked ships, for our new customer. She knew there was no more point keeping it all from him, as soon enough he would know anyway. As some thing told her, they would be bumping into each other more and more.

 

[Lord Zrixtas]

Following his ships scanners he made sure the autopilot was on and set it to follow the signal of the landing fleet. It took a little while but he soon could see the ships hovering over the water and he slowed his ship down. "Who are they?" He mumbled out loud as he looked at the ship. For now he would wait at least until he could pin point the feeling of power he had felt and still felt was near him.
A few sparks would fly out the right side of his head and his right eye would malfunction and be shut off. 'I really need to fix that' He thought as he sighed and started the diagnostics program in his body to try and figure out the problem while he placed his weapons on and extended the scanners of the ship. "let's find out what you're up to, shall we?"

Jaster hadn't been to this planet before, once he got the call he gathered as much as he could and went on to assist. He didn't bring any submersibles, as they were not really needed in his opinion.

"No submersibles ma'am," Jaster waved his hand and a workers holding a small portable screen handed it to Jaster, "these here are wired to cameras on the drones, no need to dive because we can monitor the situration from here,"

Jaster then pointed to a make shift floating facility, just barely starting to get the walls up, "That there's gana be the elevator facility to get into the mines, from there we can monitor all the drone cameras and start building the blueprint of the mine and upload it to the drones."

Thanith turned looking at Sabrina for a brief moment.

"Explanation is not necessary ma'am." "I learned a long time ago to fly where I am told to fly and not ask questions." "In my experience Sith don't like being asked their business and I found it a secret to longevity to assume everyone is Sith until proven otherwise."

He turned back to the controls for a minute before glancing at the co-pilot before turning back.

"So with respect ma'am we are going to need somewhere to put her down before long." "She'll hover but we are sitting ducks."

He turned as the co-pilot said something. It was something missed on the initial scan. He quickly yanked on the controls spinning the ship towards the new contact.

"Ma'am a second contact coming up fast." "Single ship it looks like."

Don't worry it not a threat t us, what ever it is. It felt strange what was ever out there, but she knew it was no danger to her yet. She then whispered into the pilots ear, only stupid sith kill people on a whim. She then looked at the view screen, that Jaster had set up. She began to look a progress being made, it was on its way. Oh pilot hail the other ship, and ask what his bushiness is please. She then calmly asked jasper, So how long before we can go down to veiw the facility?

 

[Lord Zrixtas]

Zrixtas noticed that what ever it was that had drawn him there had noticed him. "Chit...." He mumbled and then he was hailed and he opened the comline and listened to the hail. 'Wonder what I should say... can't really say I'm here due to curiosity and a gut feeling can I?' He then thought as he leaned back into his seat and placed his hand around his chin as he rubbed it a little in thought.

Jaster looked at another Datapad that carried the work schedural that some bone heads in the Reqesistions made up. He read it and it seemed right according to Jasters math, "Seems that if we have the workers in shifts, above ground facility will be done in possibly 4 days, move in by nightfall, underwater gana be longer but buildings done in a week and the. 2 days to drain the water out and another day to get the equipment, the elevator will make it quicker, but not by much."

Jaster liked it when things went according to plan, made thing easier and better for Jaster to continue to plan.

Thanith listened to her response taking his hands off the fire controls but still keeping the ship pointed in the direction of the vessel. Even though it was a risk Thanith was not content to just not a threat. He hit the comm button hailing the vessel.

"Unidentified vessel identify yourself and state your intentions."

He would make no threats or show aggression unless needed. Instead he was merely fishing for information. As he did he listened to the progress on the mining operation below. he sounded like they would be sleeping in the ship which despite it's small size suited Thanith just fine.

Are good, nice to hear the building is coming along according to plan. She watched the footage watching the underwater mine take shape, and bio dome being completed. She then looked as Jaster, and asked him How does your business go at moment? she was interested as they had lot contracts together. She hoped to help them become a bigger economic power. She was also hoping that the other ship would reply to hail soon, after all some of security around this mine might start getting twitchy.

 

[Lord Zrixtas]

Zrixtas thought for a moment before he decided that honesty would simply just be the best solution. "I am here due to a presence I felt in the force so I'm suppose I'm here due to curiosity." He said as he made sure that his ship had it's weapons powered down though he still had his shields up, being cautious kept one alive after all. "I come with Peaceful intentions." He then added since he wasn't exactly sure what to expect from such an operation.

Jaster didn't have to worry about coordinating with the five teams, he payed Foreman for that, even brought a dive commander. So Jaster had time for small talk, the major components of this would be finished anytime now.

"The Conglomerate is still getting on its feet, there are many things that need to be finished before anything is said and done, facikities like this are a push in the right direction, this and as well as getting our first station completed have boosted our combined stock higher then most in the outer rims."

Jaster so I will be able view the mine soon enough, that is fine. She then paused and thought for a second, and asked So where can my pilot land, I like to meet who is ever on that vessel. She had realized it might be her apprentice to be, and such things should never be ignored. She waited for jasper to answer so her pilot could make the course corrections.
