Sanoyra Dovryn was a powerful woman. Member of the High Council of the Mokkan Directorate, head of House Dovryn, CEO of Dovryn Systems. She remained powerful in two ways, she made sure that she had her hands on as much as possible and in doing so she figured out what needed to be added to her organization and from where. Having grown up on an isolated Mokk IX, the idea of the Alliance Quarter was scary to Sanoyra. Inviting outsiders into the inner sanctum of what had made Mokkan data and financial securities the envy of the galaxy, was a recipe for disaster. There was little comfort for her that the outsiders were sequestered in the Alliance Quarter. The legend of Mokkan data security had brought slicers from throughout the galaxy. Once on planet there were ways to get through even Dovryn firewalls if you had enough talent, patience and time.
Enough offworld slicers had gathered that a new night club had popped up catering to them. Nebula Grid, was half bar/dance club and half slicers’ battle arena. As much as Sanoyra would vocally protest the idea of visiting the Slicer’s Den inside Nebula Grid, she knew that the best way to defend her companies data from these offworld slicers was to identify the best amongst them and recruit them, if possible, or observe them in action to take some of their tactics and put them into practice.
The vocal protests were a bit of Sanoyra keeping up the Mokkan elite persona. In truth she was curious about these outsiders. How talented they were, what it was like to let go of some of the rigidity that drove daily life on Mokk IX. Sanoyra had worked for a long time to focus her curiosity to data innovation and coding. She had built up her public persona so well that when she took over for her father following health concerns everyone thought she was the peak of stability.
Inside her head Sanoyra yearned to spread her wings. Behind closed doors she explored indulgences that most Mokken would find obscene, though happened in broad daylight in the rest of the galaxy. The opening Alliance Quarter had created the opportunity to see some of these things first hand. So this “night” she dressed in an outfit that would have seen her disowned if her father had seen it, put a coat on over top and informed her driver that she would be visiting the Alliance Quarter.
Once inside Nebula Grid, Sanoyra’s senses were overloaded as she had not expected. The club was lit in neon, the music was not the classical, refined and controlled tones of Mokkan music. The alcohol…well…Sanoyra had managed to smuggle some of that into her private home and had partaken in private. The sounds were chaotic compared to every gathering Sanoyra had ever attended. There were dozens of slicing competitions going on in the Slicer’s Den, with status being displayed overhead. Occasional cheers were heard. Sanoyra moved to the bar, trying to move in sync with the music as the others were. It was a learned skill that Sanoyra did not have yet. She ordered a Corellian Brandy and once it was in hand she moved to the edge of the Slicer’s Den to seek out the best.
