Tensions were still high with the Republic. The Osarian system, previously home to collaborative works between the Republic and Protectorate, had been vaporized by the Sith. The conflict at Polis Massa with the ancient Sith device had greatly soured the relationship between the two galactic superpowers and even begged the question of a Republic-Protectorate war. Though things had relaxed somewhat in the wake of Cira's disappearance, things were still no where close to the cordial nature they had once been. And Ayden attributed a large part of that to a lack of collaborative efforts between the two.
A shared border connected the two powers, but they seemed so far apart. No intelligence was shared, no great works were made between the two. They were more like strangers to each other than the friends they had once been. To that end, Ayden sent a missive to the CEO of Kuat Drive Yards, Lorelei Darke, inviting her and a delegation from KDY to discuss a possible collaborative work with Corellian Engineering. Though they were two of the oldest shipwrights in the galaxy, and some of the scant few companies to continue existence after the Four Hundred Years of Darkness, there had been little work between the two, and it wasn't extremely hard to see why. CEC had always favored smaller ships, freighters and frigates, while KDY specialzed in the gargantuan Star Destroyers. Add to that their allegiances during the Galactic Civil War of old, and it wasn't so strange then that they hadn't worked together before.
But times were changing, and as Ayden sat at a table on Corellia with seven of the top heads of Corellian Engineering, he hoped that this effort could signal not only a turning point between their two companies, but a turning point for relations between the Republic and the Protectorate.
