The Suarbi System, Quence Sector
Out near the fringes of the galaxy, overlooked and forgotten by most of the galaxy, lies the Suarbi system. It's composed of one star, one gas giant, thirteen moons, and an asteroid belt. The only inhabitants dwelt on Suarbi 7/5, called by the locals Susefvi. Very little of galactic importance had ever happened on the planet. A few skirmishes between Light and Dark, a pirate invasion. Daring exploits of Corran Horn in his journey to be a Jedi and the destruction of Invid pirates that plagued the old New Republic. Then for the most part, as time went on, it faded back into its obscurity, partially due to the efforts of the Jensaarai in their silent vigil over the system.
Things had changed though, brought on by the rise and fall of the Omega Protectorate. While not the most important system of the Protectorate, being far from the core, it had significant mining resource vale, not to mention the reforged Jensaarai. But with the fall, the system was again independent and younger members of society wished to remain that way. With the rise of the One Sith and Techno Union however, that was far too risky, so they began to work ally themselves with others in the name of mutual defense.
As the Galactic Alliance rose in power and respect, a group of legislators invited a delegation from the Alliance to the system in order to convince the rest of the system's legislature and President Elenan Balyin to ratify a treaty to make the system a fully fledged member of the Galactic Alliance. Some welcomes this while others regard it as a threat to the newly gained Susefvi sovereignty and strongly oppose such a move. There are even whispers of dissident extremists who have made threats on the President's life and those who support the treaty while protests begin to break out. In an effort to curb such negative reaction, SDF investigators have invited GADF investigators to join them in seeking out the truth of these assassination rumors and to arrest any conspirators.
Another political arena, unknown to the citizenry of Susefvi is also concerned with such a treaty. The Jensaarai, led by Saarai-Kar Lareena Thornn, and her mostly isolationist council are displeased with the recent turn of events and their disruption of peace and stability in the system, which they have worked so hard to maintain through various indirect and sometimes direct actions. Through what they perceive as meddling, Defender Veino Garn has arranged a meeting between the Council and Alliance Force users. Due to unexpected tasks and investigations, he himself will not be present to serve as a mediator or spokesperson on behalf of the Alliance. It is up to their representatives to convince the Jensaarai that this will not lead to takeover and destruction of the Jensaarai culture or responsibilities. The Jensaarai also have their own people investigating the rumors of assassination. Some Jedi have been allowed to join them as well. The meeting shall be held at the secondary Jensaarai enclave.
Serving as both an embassy and an academy, the Susefvi house acts almost like a foreign exchange for both interested Jedi and local Jensaarai curious about the rest of the galaxy's protectors.
One of the later stages of the Saarai-Kar's reveal plan, the Jensaarai purchased an old abandoned space-port on the coast north of Yumfla through their various cover businesses, wealthy allies, an old friendship with the local Caamasi Remnant, and accumulated wealth with the intention of creating an outpost where Jedi and Jensaarai could meet and mingle without drawing attention to the main Jensaarai enclave via increased traffic.
So, they renovated the port into a usable star-field and flight school. With the disappearance of who knew how many life forms and the disappearance of Omega Protectorate influence on the area, the Jensaarai returned to their roots. Independent, self-sufficient protectors of the Suarbi system.
Several of the hangars were converted to food production and a wall built around the facility. Waste and water processing facilities improved enough to maintain a sizable population.
The Ring Defenders were given a portion of the port as their primary logistical headquarters and the center of the port was walled off. This left hangars, landing fields, and sensors outside the walled off portion. Several hangars had the roofs altered to be turned into greenhouses while one of the landing fields was turned into open fields for crops. Moisture vaporators were added, as well as distillation and recycling facilities for both ground and seawater. Undercover Jensaarai and in-the-know locals (often family members of Jensaarai) maintained and worked these grounds. They sold surplus food, repaired equipment, and ran a small flight academy to keep the academy up and running.
At the center of the compound is what is referred to as the Commune, described as a reactionary attempt to survive the apocalypse. It's the walled off portion. Rumour has it that's it full of crazed survivalists.
In reality, this is the visible portion of the academy and embassy between the Jensaarai and Jedi. The rest was excavated in the bedrock below after the wall went up.
It has four levels, with residential areas in the lower two and training in the top two. There's a small speeder hangar and tunnel that leads out over the ocean for discreet entrance and exits.

On top of the domestic concerns, a new threat has developed somewhere within the system. Mining vessels have been discovered emptied and blasted apart. Security vids have been wiped clean. Very few survivors have been found and those that have been found were badly mauled and raving about monstrous demons that boarded from ghost ships to kill and slaughter their way. Abominations of machine and flesh, they say. Some speculate that such things are hallucinations caused by bloodloss, but others are unsure. The Susefvi Defense Force has tasked their best and brightest with finding and destroying this new threat. Jensaarai Ring Defenders work in the shadows alongside them, seeking any influence of the Dark Side or other threats to their system. Word has reached Alliance command through Wild Knight Commander and former Ring Defender Roth Tillian that they are baffled by these attacks, but they bear some resemblance to Final Order experiments and black tech. Passing the word up the chain, he recommended the Galactic Alliance Defense Force assist in this operation to convince the people that the Alliance is truly there to assist them. Alliance intelligence operatives suspect a connection between these attacks and the dissidents on the planet. They have leads including an abandoned mining facility in close orbit within Suarbi itself, an old factory on an asteroid, and strange activity on one of the other moons. Each one will need investigated and cleared to root out this potential threat. Jensaarai will assist in these operations in one guise or another. Guess which ones at your own peril.
Of course, for the many folks of the Galactic Alliance, there are other opportunities as well. Susefvi has been actively seeking foreign investors and local businesses are eager to make contracts with either individuals or the Alliance itself, many offering tours and demonstrations of their facilities. For others weary of the war and its hurt, the capital city of Yumfla is a marvelous seaside location with beautiful beaches and seaside vistas. Explore the area, take a cruise, go for a dive. Try the local seaweed beverages. Or explore the many sub-tropical islands and verdant countrysides. Beware, however, that the threats in the capital extend beyond the city borders and you never know what might happen. Thrill seekers may want

With all these events happening, a Galactic Alliance fleet drops out of hyperspace near Susevfi to be welcome by a formal greeting from SDF and local dignitaries. The entire fleet not out on duty stands assembled in formation with fighter squadron escorts for diplomatic and other shuttles departing for the planet. At the spaceport, President Balyin and a retinue of legislators await the Alliance diplomats to give them a tour of the city before special session meets to discuss the treaty.
For those meeting with the Jensaarai, a speeder shuttle will be awaiting to give them a tour of a greenhouse operation to discuss food imports to support the Alliance. The driver is secretly a Jensaarai Defender sent to escort them to the meeting location. Before vanishing into the underworld, Veino left word that Jedi representatives should travel incognito to the meeting. It has been arranged that no other outsiders will be present.
Military personnel are to remain in orbit at alert for another raids. Word reaches SDF command during the ceremony that a mining station was attacked and the assailants vanished before scrambled ships could arrive. The commanding officer of the investigation has graciously allowed Alliance personnel the opportunity to join her in surveying the scene and reconstructing the attack while other forces devise a new way to discover these attacks.
Tour guide Gal Kyjin, a young human sits at the edge of the Yumfla spaceport apparently hoping to catch from Alliance members with discounted tours around the city or dive tickets. He waits in his speeder, dressed casually, but noticeably attentive to the happenings. Spaceport security notice him and flag him as suspicious, placing plain-clothes security to observe him.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the system, a figure stands in the bridge of her starship, pacing as she studies the updates on the situation. Reports file in to her bridge crew of operations throughout the system. She frowns and storms from the bridge. The Alliance has arrived too soon. It will be necessary to speed up their operation. A quick signal and a tightwave message is beamed out, bounced off several tiny relays, and encoded multiple times before reaching its recipients...
