[member="Darren Torran"],
Denon would not be as filled with droids as Darren may have expected, at least not completely. When the Metal Lords arrived in this sector of space, as suddenly as they did, they did not actually replace the government of Denon with their own or replaced their population with free droids. There was an influx of emancipated droids migrating to the city-planet, sure, but when HK came down to Denon, with a group of Metal Lord representatives in tow, he struck a deal with the Prime Minister of Denon. The Denon government will remain in rule of the planet, a Metal Lord will rule over its orbit above the surface and the Metal Lords will launch massive projects to expand Denon's commercial and industrial sector. In return, the Prime Minister swore allegiance to HK, who took upon him title of Iron Lord Protector Above Denon. The terms of this bargain would be very much visible, as the new commercial projects translated into quick and massive expansion of new companies popping up in Metal Lord space, the droids seeming very interested in exploiting the major hyperlanes that ran through their capital planet, and Denon now being surrounded by a massive ring of stations and ships.
While at first a troubling sight, reminiscent of siege lines laying waste to planets during war, most of the ships in Denon's orbit were civilian, large derelict vessels and spacehulks now being ripped apart and converted into industrial space stations, whether as ports for merchants and travelers passing through, or the beginnings of Denon's first orbital shipyards constructed by droids in accordance to their practices of taking wreckage and scavenged constructs to strip them and reuse them to build new manifestations of steel and their salvage ingenuity.
But yes, while Denon remained somewhat the same since before the Metal Lords arrived, perhaps with just a bit more droids walking around its surface, the true new addition was the Droid Kingdom now hanging overhead in the planet's orbit.
Either way, when Darren would arrive to the meeting spot, he would be silently guided by Abregado-forged infantry drones, in appearance very much resembling armored skeletal warriors of charred metal, towards a conference room. Once the door would open he would be greeted by the sight of the rather large room with an elongated oval conference table in the middle and his host, HK-36, sitting by one of the chairs. The ancient droid would stand up when Darren entered the room, greeting him with,
"Darren Torran, I appreciate your punctuality and welcome you to Denon. I am the Iron Lord Protector Above Denon, you may call me by my original designation, HK-36."
The droid would motion then towards one of the seats by the conference table,
"Please, sit down and tell me why you wished to speak with me. My aids told me this is related to some sort of a business venture?"
HK asked as he moved to sit back down. The droid, now that Darren could see him up close, was rather slender, although tall, elongated in a war, and reminiscent of the way his guards and servants looked in that the machine seemed to resemble an inhumane skeleton covered in armored plates. Most of it was hidden underneath his heavy black cloak, of course, but the light faceplate like polished bone would be uncovered, looking at Darren with its two crimson glowing photoreceptors. If Darren knew of such things he would be able to tell that the faceplate was forged out of Phrik, and from the looks of it, so was the thin long neck that connected to the droid's head and disappeared within the confines of his cloak. AS the droid went to sit down a movement in his cloak reveled that beneath the machine wore a black armored suit of fleshy and very much organic substance. From the looks of it, it appeared Vong in nature.
