Contruum​

The auction house was insanely well guarded, just as well guarded as the auction was well publicized. Leaders and notables of the galaxy had been notified by the polite communications staff of the reputable auction firm. Weapons, naturally, were not permitted inside the facility. Wines and refreshments from across the galaxy were being served as the auctioneer, a portly but immaculate Toydarian, took his podium. He flapped with dignity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished bidders. A few words of note. The bulk of today's lots come from a relative handful of anonymous collectors. I think it is fair to say that no event like this has taken place in the history of the galaxy. We have consulted with experts in the field to verify the authenticity of these pieces, as with all lots offered through Bayes, Bayes, and V'nnuk'rk.

"Bidding will proceed as follows, for the sake of time; we have a substantial volume of lots tonight. The first batch will be displayed on your screens, and you will instantly see all votes on each lot within that batch. Please vote electronically rather than verbally; your name will be displayed along with your bid. At the request of the lot owners, no starting bids will be provided. You may bid on as many lots as you like."

[Judas of Vahl]

A uniformed figure of Lord Admiral Dranok Lussk happily typed away on his newly issued datapad as the new bids for the auction items popped up on the screen. Being a career officer, Governor of Rattatak, and the corporate head honcho of Lussk Logistics did have its benefits when it came to bringing in the dough.

Lot G: A holocron labelled 'Nightsister Blood Trail Ritual' cr250,000
Lot I: The pedicure set of Ludo Kressh cr200,000

Bellalika looked up from the datapad as she typed them in. The chance for Atrisia to benefit and with her here as representative under orders from the Grand Inquisitior. With a smirk she leaned back in her seat and rolled her shoulders. Her eyes drifted around the others in the room.

 

[Darth Metus]

[Domino]

Velok was someone she had met with briefly in the past and his involvement in that venture had produced only good things for the Vigo of the Black Suns. And now when the largest batch of sith artifacts to ever come up to auction was announced, a large number of them likely stolen by the same Whiphid on his exit from the Empire, Domino took a personal interest.

Batch One
Lot E: A holocron labelled 'Record of Processing of Theran Listeners, 835 ABY' cr250,000
Lot G: A holocron labelled 'Nightsister Blood Trail Ritual' cr500,000

A corner of her mouth tugged up in a smirk as she leaned back in her private box and took a sip of champagne. So far it didn't look as if there were any other serious players present. A situation the Twi'lek was all to willing to abuse to increase her knowledge of the force and the arsenal it brought her.

Someone calls out from the back, directing their ire towards Lussk. "Learn how to bet, Admiral Knobtickler!"
