The Jen’ari Empire.
Years ago, they had been a galactic superpower with a reach extending across much of the Unknown Regions and later on, Wild Space. However, their collapse as a major power ultimately came at the hands of the then-resurgent Sith Empire and the juggernaut that had been the Confederacy of Independent Systems, superpowers which were now defunct, with scattered remnants of their own. And yet, while the Jen’ari Empire was no longer intact as a singular institution, given the disappearance of their leader, their former worlds still held concentrations of warlords and diehard believers, clinging to the false hope that one day, Vyrassu might yet return.
While Priesse had not been alive during the time of the Jen’ari, she sensed that any remaining adherents were weak and delusional.
And yet, many of their former planets had a wealth of resources which Icarus lacked, in the form of kyber crystals, valuable minerals, gemstones, and yet more. Of these worlds, Gelida was among the wealthiest, but also the most dangerous, since much of the planet was heavily militarized, with legions of fanatics sworn to serve a dead empire, along with the bandit armies of greedy warlords.
They were the refuse of a galaxy in a state of perpetual chaos.
Not long after her tour of the Palace of Shadows, Priesse had been tasked with a uniquely dangerous mission. This was to be her first semi-independent operation. Her objective—to clear out and capture a crystal mine on behalf of the Dominion—was simple in statement, but potentially difficult in execution. Nevertheless, Priesse was keen to demonstrate her worth, seeing it not only as a task that might allow her to achieve something of great benefit for the Dominion, but also as an opportunity to claim a kyber crystal, so that she could construct a lightsaber of her own.
To make the mission easier, she had been assigned a partner.
The rented Koro-2 all-environment exodrive airspeeder howled through the air, before touching down at the set rendezvous point, in front of a cheap hotel on the outskirts of Crystal City. With a deep breath, Priesse leaned back in her seat and scanned the hotel courtyard for the signal she had been told to look for. Once her partner—an individual who was still a mystery to her—arrived, they would set off on the two-hour long journey to the North Gelida Mountains, where the kyber mine was located…
