Liar's Retreat (Danger)

[Lorna Halcyon]

Tion

This was a surprise to Lorna... mostly because they were so close to the planet. The Edge of the Silver Jedi's space and before going into Republic space but this was where they had been asked to send representatives. So she was here on the ship and with several boxes of equipment they had been able to get from Shri-tal, there was the large trade hub on the moon and selling off crystals that could be used for sabers or decorative purposes.

The ship was coming down into one of the hangers while Lorna motioned to the others with them and she secured the robe over her silver cloths. A small standard that they could keep going while the ramp opened and Lorna led the group carrying three vine silk dresses from Shri-tal and one case to give an idea of what they had access to. She forwent the small canister of Illerium they had gotten from surveys in favor of showing the monetary gains from the trade and hub moon.

"Alright lets find who we need to meet with and not stay longer then we have to." Lorna moved less towards the doors and more to one of the consoles with the people overseeing the hangers. If there was anyone who could get them to where they needed to go well on a world like this for business they would be the ones. "We are here from the silver jedi, Danger Arceneau asked us to come and talk and we need to let her know we are coming."

The group wouldn't be long at being ushered into the large complex built to be a new Headquarters at the Tion Sector for ATC and SSB. Danger would be present, as her expansion into the territory has seen her having to focus more and more in this particular area.

A smile would welcome Lorna, and the full figured red head would read out to hold a hand in greeting were she to take it.

"Welcome to Lianna,"

Lorna looked at the woman and took her hand with both of hers softly as she spoke. "Thank you ma'am for having us." She had went for others but they had been less then interested. Some forgetting that the silver jedi had been fighting at Coruscant, Carida and Empress teta only missing Alderaan... It made her looking upon the others with a face like they said their shoes tasted funny.... but not this woman. Lorna's eyes held more questions but she had a mission. "My masters have sent a gift to show what we can offer. The Silver Jedi have become one of the distributors of Vine-silk and..." The one box opened for a vine silk dress fashioned on Shri-tal and there was another with two bags of vine coffee. "The old empire was very adamant for growing these and its rarity in the galaxy is our new financial boon."

"Oh my!" came Danger's seemingly stunned surprise. The gifts were extraordinary. Vine-silk?! and Vine Coffee? Her eyes went wide. But something percolated within her mind.


"Why thank you.... goodness... vinesilk... and vine coffee?" she'd give a pause "But isn't the Protectorate the single distributor of Vine Silk and Vine coffee?" The products so far had only come from Belsavis, currently under the StarCaf brand in the greater known galaxy

Lorna looked at her and held a small smirk on her face. "As far as the majority of the galaxy is concerned they are, we just happened upon a lucky world that produces the beans and silks for their people." There were other exports on Shri-tal but Lorna would use them as needed, it was a hub world with one of the few houses for the invisible marketplace, their presence in the invisible economy could help and had been helping the silver jedi. "That is one of the reasons we have come, we have supplies and materials, we have a world that has joined with our Order to work together and we have a great deal of space on the planet we have negotiated for.

Their moon is a major outer rim hub for finding rare items and services." That was why they were here, she had gotten some leeway while the masters were handling major problems with some authority. That was wasn't planning on disclosing one of the major worlds that funded the Silver order and it had been making vine silk for over eight hundred years for its people or that the coffee was common place. "Which is why we came to one who could help manage large funding to bring in things for the world and to give their unique position some more funding. The companions guild we contacted about could be set up in one of the large temples."

Danger gave Lorna a crooked grin, "Well, look at ya'll striking aurum like that. " she said with a mighty impressed tone. She then offered a seat to the woman.

"Well, with those products you certainly will be making quite a pretty little credit chip. " she would then motion for the Twi'lek beside her to offer some drinks. "Would you like any refreshments?" she asked.

After a moment, she would continue. "So, what is it exactly you are looking for? Would you like a venue of being able to export these goods, or are you looking a method of bringing more of the galactic goods to you?"

Lorna sat down and bowed her head. "Thank you please." She didn't mind a drink but thinking about what they wished for. They wanted to get more brught into the sector to help the people. Former sith worlds and places covered with slavers. The people as Danger had already seen needed help and they had the chance with some materials to do that. "We are looking to help the worlds we patrol, former sith worlds and ones covered with slavers we are slowly running off. We need More varied easy to plant and harvest foods, purifiers for water and livestock. Toola is great for a few things but the hunters there are not the most friendly. Exporting goods there is a large trading hub on the edge of the Tion sector near here, it can bring in a great deal but it only caters to the very connected and rich who are." She tried to think how to say it. "Less then savory. You have the reputation and are one of the biggest names in the southern systems. Your influence could get some help to the people of the sector."

Danger gave a nod, mulling over what was their exact need. Then she made her own proposal.

"Alright, how about this. I recently purchased five Goten-class Dry Dock Station from Mandal Hypernautics. With your sponsership, I am willing to bring two of the stations to be transported into your territory at your planet of choice to serve as a local trade station. I can add routes from Arceanu and SSB convoys to travel there and connect Silver Order territory to the rest of my routes. This allows a more quiet and personalized service. Also, I can offer discounted rental rates for any of your businesses that may desire to set up shop in these stations to sell their wares."

The Goten-class dry dock stations were enormous. At 4km long and wide, these space station were massive. Able to facilitate both the construction and repair of multiple starships at once, the Goten is the perfect addition to any naval base or shipyard. The Goten boasts the unique ability to anchor itself to additional Goten stations, allowing for multiple stations to form an elongated wheel and participate in supporting entire fleets, or enacting ambitious construction projects with ease.

"It can serve as a shipyard maintenance option as well as a trade station for your needs. How does that sound? "

Lorna thought that sounded great more then they could have hoped for... well more then they would have expected. She thought at first it was a trap if only because one should be careful. Then she thought about WWAD, WWSD.... What would her master Aika do? What would her cousin Selena do? Aika would work to try and see if the woman was being truthful, Selena would remain stoic and careful most likely aggravating Danger. She wasn't like Selena and didn't have the skills of her master to try and sense deeper deception then that surface thought. A smile though was on her face. "That sounds like a great way to go about it Lady Arceneau, the nebula will need to be marked doe you and the stations. Primarily over Vaynai and Raxus to access and distribute to the sector. We welcome your ships and services. There is an old temple on Shri-tal your companions could use. A large temple built by Atrisian's under the Infinite empire."

 

[Danger Arceneau]

Danger gave a nod. "I am grateful for the offer of the temple, sounds simply extraordinary. As long as the Companions are protected and allowed to chose their own clients as per the Guild house rules, I see no reason to not allow a new training temple.

I ask that it be kept private and that no client be serviced there. It is a sanctuary.

As for the trade stations, sounds like we got ourselves a deal. Besides that trade station, I can build new trade ports, space stations, and warehouses to house goods on the planets you would like me to add to the trade route within your territories.

I am willing to pay for the land of course, so I can rightly own it. Once that is settled, construction can be underway. How does that sound?"

 

[Lorna Halcyon]

That sounded again very good and she was glad more because no servicing clients on Shri-tal, they picked their own meant the Order wouldn't have to make policy about going somewhere and misusing stipends. A very good thing... well if they wanted to at least there was something else to say no. The finer details she was sure they knew how to handle in a galaxy full of force users. Lorna gave a nod of her head and presented a datapad bringing up the location and coordinates. "That can do nicely, your people have already helped greatly on Zygerria with the relief we have more then enough space there as the shanty towns for the former slaves are being fixed up to be livable. A lot of space on Malachor V as well with land for growing food or raising animals. Vaynai has several places the hutt on it was controlling and Shri-tal has a large trading moon with warehouse space."

Danger gave a nod, then extended her hand. "Then it looks like we got ourselves a deal, Miz Halcyon." With this Arceneau trade would receive sponsorship as well as bring several trade stations, spaceports, and warehouses into Silver Jedi Territory. A new trade route would boom trade as well as bring profits to the Silver Jedi Order for all of their trade goods that they will be selling to the greater galaxy. Not to mention the expansion of fueling depots with Mara TibX and Fuels, providing a new contract for them as well.

The two new large tradestation and shipyards would also provide a new headquarters for Arceneau Trade specifically for Silver Jedi territory, allowing an ease of customer service as well as providing a center base of preparations for that sector.

All in all, this was quite a mutually beneficial arrangement.
