Bullets and power-cells
Skynara had recently seen an uptick in traffic through its spaceports. Most logged themselves as tourists while it was plain to the dock workers that they were far from mere tourists. The credits however were good, and documentation passed through the customs checks without much notice of issue.
Save for the concerned parties that existed within the ruling body at the quiet reports that had passed across their screens and desks.
The local policing force has had to pull overtime with the increase in criminal acts disguised as tourists on an otherwise peaceful planet. The ill received visitors leaving a varied sort of mess in their wake as they passed through. Bodies, illicit goods, scorned citizens, and a number of other issues that had seen the inboxes of political figures flooded with holomails of increasingly upset and concerned citizens of all sorts.
What made them take action however was the rumblings of the businesses withdrawing their store fronts if the issue of civil unrest were left as they were. A quick plan was put forth, as reports of the Rimward Trade League contesting the pirate presence in their own territory brought about a possible plan to not only secure their skies but also their pocket books.
A message was sent to a private galactic citizen that the officials had already dealt with prior. Extending an invitation to the Corporate Executive Niki Priddy to act as a mediating participant for a meeting of business possible interest in joining the growing body of connected governments in the Rim. Skynara plays host to the meeting, and awaits those interested parties coming to meet them.
The Minister of Defense is noted chief among the other Ministers for his eagerness to learn how the League plans to deal with the ongoing threat of Privateers. The Ministry Cabinet varies on their feelings of the League and their standard of operation. As a whole, they are curious, some cautious, and a few are plainly eager to welcome the League.
It is known to both the League and the Skynara Ministry that their Mediator, Niki Priddy has great personal interest in the success of this meeting.
A notice has beeb delivered to the Trade League, with Niki Priddy arriving on Skynara to mediate negotiations between the two parties. With additional alerts to those interested parties within the League to the potential need to cooperate with the local investigators. Tasked with following leads that might shed light on where further privateer and other illegal freelance parties might be staging their activities. As well as helping solve a few cases with some outside insight on a murder, and a potential kidnapping.
Objective 1
Down To Business
An invitation sent to the League Members from Niki Priddy acting as an intermediary on behalf of Skynara has been filtered through the proper channels. Down To Business
Interested parties in negotiating for a slice of the pie to the alluring end of the Five Veils Hyperlane Route are welcome. Aid the League in welcoming Skynara to their ranks, or act in your own self interest to secure potentially lucrative deals on the Tourist Planet. The proceedings will be overseen by Niki Priddy to assure both parties that a mutually beneficial agreement can be reached.
Disruptions to the proceedings will be dealt with accordingly.
Objective 2
Proper Channels
Pirates and other shady characters have been pushed through the Tourist Hotspot due to recent engagements with the League forces elsewhere in space. With the Sith presence to the South to be avoided, and the Hyperlane Route available for a quick getaway, Skynara became a hotbed for their activities.Proper Channels
Whether a last hurrah by the Pirates before heading further out of the thinning line between the League and Sith spaces, or simply believing opportunities were present, their continued presence on Skynara threatens the everyday life of the planet's citizens.
The heavy reliance on tourism from the Hyperlane Route has the local authorities worried, and seeking help in finding the dens of the pirates and other troubling beings. Work to find information, locations, and identify potential threats to the continued peace of the civilians. Due to the ongoing negotiations however, the authorities have asked those working alongside them to not engage in combat. If a League member breaks this request without reason such as self defense or the interest of preventing harm to a civilian, it could spell disaster for the ongoing negotiations.

The Tourist had arrived earlier in the week, bringing Niki in along with her associate Matthew. The Corellian acting once more as her bodyguard, and meeting with the Ministry along with completing his own round of background checks and clearances for bringing a weapon to the meeting that was to take place.
The Ministry's own security team working alongside the former Marine to clarify avenues of exit, identity entry points and possible places of interest to retreat to and fortify in case of the worst. A passing thought to notify
Dominik Borra
about requesting his presence instead of Matthew passing her mind as Niki slid through the pages on her datapad to go over the bullet points she had made to go over with the meeting.She wouldn't be doing much of the talking, but wanted to make clear the required itinerary the Ministers had to keep everyone moving along and on point.
Sitting at the head of the large u-shaped table, she was leaned back waiting for the members to assemble proper before entering the room.
Matthew stood well behind her by several meters but plainly visible, weapon on a single point sling and at his waist for the time being as he rested his arms, holding onto his armor harness collar. A deep sigh from the man pulling her from her scrolling.
"What?" Barely pulling her eyes away from the screen to address him. Her glasses on instead of using her augmented eyes for the time being. The bright amber glow likely to put everyone on edge rather than at ease.
"You ever get tired of-" Waving a hand at the conference room. "This?" The tables lined glasses and carafes of water along with other potential beverages for those that would be attending as Niki let her eyes wander briefly before swiveling in her seat to stare at him.
The business suit she wore mostly appropriate aside from only the knitted cap and partial glove she wore.
"Mm. Meetings like this happen often enough in my own boardrooms. This one just... happens to be with a planetary government and a governing body of another conglomerate of systems. No big deal." The slightest hint of sarcasm in her tone as she sat up straight in the chair, throwing a smirk his way as she waved a hand. "Seriously though. This meeting needs to go well since it'll affect more than just a handful of parts on Queyta."
Even behind the helmet, she could see the frown form on his face. He always tilted his head to the left a bit when he gave her that exasperated stare.
"So long as nobody needs a bap, I think we'll do alright." His laugh partially static as she shook her head and spun back to the table.
"It comes to that and I'll be more worried about the Ministry cutting us off their end of the Five Veils for inviting the League." Leaning back into the chair once more as the Ministry began to file in and take their seats along the table.
Light conversations happening as they awaited the sign to begin the meeting, giving ample time for the League officials to arrive.
