Velok the Younger
When I Was A Young Warthog
It took a lot of doing to get an excavation and containment contract for Dromund Kaas. Mandalorian forces occupied the system, monitored all traffic to and from the surface. She'd taken a fething lie detector test inside a ysalamir bubble to get this gig. Posted a serious securities bond. Spent a long, long time building relations with the Mandalorians and guzzling Circe Green.
AEL had applicable subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries had applicable personnel and equipment. Mohc Extractives mining crews in hazardous conditions envirosuits moved ten-ton stone blocks in shin-deep snow, blew open crypts, strip-mined the palace's foundations. Marvand Publishing's in-house antiquities associates applied archive-grade indexing procedures to the many unidentified artifacts and items that the Mandalorians had already found, as well as every new find. Akure Executive Leatherworks staff handled guardian beasts (skinning them in situ) and advised work crews and archivists alike on secure containment.
It wasn't exactly a well-oiled machine, but the excavation/containment contract had only been rolling for a few weeks. Dromund Kaas, the Mandos knew, was something of a liability, a potential asset to their enemies, useless to them without a thorough and expert search. It was Rave's job, under the aegis of Field Marshal [member="Ordo"] and with the consent of that dreamboat Skirata, to track down and analyze every Force artifact and significant data archive on Dromund Kaas. Suffice it to say, she would be here a while.
Contract of a lifetime. Not something to jeopardize with petty selfishness, either. Ordo had made it clear enough that he fully expected a trinket here and there to disappear. His first priority was that, whatever valuable or dangerous information she unearthed, the Mandos got read in on anything that could possibly be used to defend the Mandalorian territories. Rave, as a daughter of Dathomir -- a Mandalorian-protected world -- and as a local businessperson, roots in the community, could respect that.
