Axxila had two-hundred and seventy-three independent precincts, seven of which were primarily centered around the major elevators from the cityscape and up to the frozen planetary surface. These elevators ostensibly acted as the sole way to get to and from the city, which served as both a blessing and a curse. Exterior crime could only enter the city through those openings, but this meant those precincts looking over the surface elevators were inundated with crimes ranging from the calm to the extremely violent.
Precinct Thirty-Eight was no different from its ilk. Murders occurred with alarming regularity, and the revolving door of planetary governors did not make the situation any easier for law enforcement. Indeed, with them came a whole host of new and interesting problems. A number of Sith Empires had laid claim to Axxila, either due to its economic importance or the massive population boosts it represented. Luckily for the planet, those two factors combined to limit the influence of those Empires that wished to avoid alienating Axxila. Unfortunately, with the Sith came the ever-malignant corruption of Sith practices. Though the Empires were long dead, their zealous faithful still wandered the streets and practiced the more debased Sith rituals in the darker places of the world. They were rare, but every once in a while, a baffling murder would occur within the Thirty-Eighth Precinct, and when that day came the homicide department passed the case off to the Special Investigations counterparts.
It had been the dead of night when SIU-87 arrived at Hercine Street. Meridian Apartments was a lower-level, cheap residential bloc owned by one of the dozen major landowning corporations on Axxila. It had been poorly maintained and run down, and a den of crime and villainy - at least, lower level crime and villainy. While SIU-87 had never been deployed here, its memory banks recalled everything in a twelve-block radius as being removed from standard patrol routes due to the potential danger. That the security forces had been called at all was a miracle and one that SIU-87 struggled not to capitalize on. While its programming dictated that the droid should be kicking down every door from the bottom floor to the very top, it had been sent for a specific mission.
SIU-87 set down its speeder on a landing platform near to the other security vehicles, its dull and unpainted hull appearing worn down even in this place. Indeed, the only thing flashing about SIU-87 was the droid itself, adorned in the security force blue as it was. With a magnetic holster, SIU-87 attached its service pistol to its hip and exit the vehicle.
A few local denizens, either of the apartment or one of the other nearby buildings, had gathered to watch the security forces at work. No less than two dozen officers in light armor were gathered, some watching the crowd while the others stood around their sergeant. All were armed with lighter personal defense blasters, though a couple more heavily armed officers stood at the main entrance of the apartment building. At SIU-87's approach, the bearded officer spoke up.
"Precinct said they'd be sendin' OSI, didn't think they'd be sendin' the head clanker himself," the Sergeant commented to the amusement of his fellows. SIU-87 stopped a couple of paces away from the organic officers, hands folding in front of it
"Bring me to the scene of the crime. I require all information and testimonies gathered as well as the full cooperation of the responding officers," The droid rattled off, its programming leaving no room for ribbing with its fellow officers. The Sergeant straightened but did not outwardly react to the demands, evidently expecting the business-first mentality from the droid.
"Right this way, Detective-Sergeant." Nodding to his men, the officer led SIU-87 into the front entrance of the building and up to the seventh floor, where the scene of the crime lay.
