Dhalinar's white cloak flapped in the high winds of Coronet's industrial sector. It was deep into the night, well past midnight and the lights of Corellian industry lit up Coronet Bay like a lifeday tree. Many thought Corellia would slow with the war over but decommissioning Mawite and Imperial vessels and the growing demand for luxury civilian craft fueled the shipyards now. He could spot a few of the new Corell cruisers from his vantage point atop the tower he perched on. It reminded him of the Works on Coruscant but in miniture. But Dhalianr wasn't here to windowshop for his next personal vessel. He turned from the backbone of Corellia's economy and turned to Coronet's Red Light Sector.

It wasn't Corellia's "red light district". By contrast it was zone residential, but only barely qualified. It was a group of slums and low-income housing interspersed with dive bars and warehouses that lined the outside of Corellia's planet-side shipyard operations near Coronet Bay. Common foot gangs ran the streets here in proxy to the
Unbroken Clan. They were the real power here. But would they have the lead he needed?

Denon was a hive of scum and villainy. Had been for decades even before Darkwire turned the planet into a chaos pit of crime and vigilanteeism. That crime had always found its way to Corellia, his people were no saints themselves, but Sith artifacts? Even worse, Mawite cult paraphernalia was dangerous and he'd just gotten word that someone had brought it to his home. He turned his macrobinoculars to the warehouse beside "Old Sally's" an old Shipwright's bar. His marks were entering now.

Jill, a low-ranking Lieutenant in the Unbroken Clan and- He blinked. There shouldn't have been two. And why was the second a Yokai? Them and the Unbroken never worked together. He thought they hated one another. His eyes narrowed. What was going on here?

Home.

It’d been… nearly five years, now, since Mira had set foot on Corellia. She always imagined it’d be some grandiose thing that drew her back. Perhaps her youngest brother graduating, or the return of her sister from the Outer Rim. Something happy, for a change. But it was a lead that pulled Mira from her stewardship of Denon.

Sith artifacts.

Mira hated dealing with the things, but she was deeply grateful not only to have a reliable contact on her homeworld, but a Jedi who could help her recover the Mawite relic. Stars only know what kind of protection the artifact may have.

The Knight considered the opposition as she moved along to the meeting point. Coronet’s signature winds blew her ponytail from her neck, chilling her skin as she braved it. The sounds, the smells - it brought her back to her teenage years. A young Quinn, elbows deep in starship drives with her dad. That was before the Order, before she was a Jedi.

Before Sith artifacts and Darkwire.

She sighed, rounding the corner to see Master Greystar ahead. Her thoughts could wait. Dhalinar was already at work, and she wanted to make a good first impression.

Master Greystar,” she said with an awkward nod.

I’m Mira Quinn.

Dhalinar raised an inquisitive bushy brow, his eyes searching and scanning. Mira? He knew many a Mira, no Mira Quinn. She hadn't attacked him outright, so who was she? Corellian Tactical Response? She looked the part. His eyes narrowed. Could also be a smuggler. Dhalinar wasn't exactly an enigma on Corellia, but he was still surprised at the familiarity of the introduction.

"Mira," he nodded simply. "You have me at a disadvantage, who-" Something shifted from the corner of his eye. There was a flash. A silenced blaster? He looked from the warehouse to Mira. She would have to wait. "Blast," he cursed and leaped from the rooftop, anding silently on the warehouse roof. Wind tugging at his half cape, he flourshied his lightsaber hilt and activated it, the white-green of his blade punctuating the night sky. He threw a second hilt into the roof, its white blade activating. He did a little spin and cut a hole in the roof, falling into the darkness and vanishing from view.

He landed with a Corellian Sand Cat's grace, silent on his leather boots. There were sounds like a fight breaking out. Now that he was closer he could hear the soft squeek of silenced blaster fire. Blue and green bolts flew through the warehouse, the occasional thud or gurggling shout interrupting the maelstrom of blasterfire. The warehouse was thick with the smell of blood and ozone and an ice cold sensation permeated the Force around him.

The Dark Side.
