The Forgotten One
Ession had always been a major center of industrial manufacturing. It did not have the influence, power, or prestige of Denon or Coruscant, not even Taris. But none the less it was still had a cityscape sprawl that reached almost across the entire planet. Being so urbanized the planet was responsible for the production of all kinds of capital intensive goods the Corporate Sector and the greater galaxy depended on. It also had a minor detail most people overlooked: It was the adopted homeworld of Darth Kentarch. Chosen by his former master, it was Ession where the Sith Lord was raised and learned to become a Sith. In a final wink of galactic notoriety it was here on Ession where the plot to kill the Dark Lord of the Sith originated.
The Black Mercury cut across the night sky just above the Velopoint District, after a quick and quiet descent the starship had set down on a landing pad on top a large skyscraper. Situated just west of Ession City, the Velopoint District was home to many of the planet's wealthy elite and was the center of commerce for planetary exchange of stock and other securities. Kentarch kept a private residence among one of the many luxury residential skyscrapers under a proxy he used via his private intelligence company.
Two men dressed in tailored suits waited with a half-dozen black armored guards around them. "I don't remember having an appointment or giving out invitations this evening." Kentarch noted to one of Dolos Defense Agents standing behind him. "They wish to speak to you and claim it is urgent, its about the deal." The agent said. The Sith Lord held back his anger and impatience. The coup, the mantle lost, the bombing on Korriban. Things had changed and the neutrality of Ession was now in question to the puppet government. For a moment he though about killing the two and and ending the charade that he owned Ession.
The cloaked figure stepped away from the ramp of his ship and moved over to the two men. "The Pax Economica still stands, there was no reason to even mention it." His tone reflected his level of irritation and annoyance. "Even with the Silvers in Control of the Etti system, Ession has remained neutral and will neutral as long as I have a say it."
The ruler of the Planet stepped forward to address the Sith, confident, too confident in the eyes of Darth Kentarch. "Your new project has us worried you will draw attention to this world. We held our concerns that your brothers would come and seek retribution for your actions. Successful rebellion or not things are hitting close to home now."
The most recent government had been installed by the Sith Lord, headed by the Lord of Ession who in the past answered only to the Corporate Sector Authority. However in recent years since the fall of the One Sith the government, Ession's ruler had become a puppet to Darth Kentarch's ambition. An agreement had been made between the local government, the Black Army of Ession, and the Dolos Defense Agency since the two corporations held the most influence on the planet. The agreement was Darth Kentarch's dealings and his corporations would operate outside legal authority and go without being taxed, and together they would use their influence to keep the system neutral. This deal was known between the two corporations and the government as the 'Pax Economica'.
Darth Kentarch gestured to the inside his apartment. "Inside and we will discuss these dealings." He ordered. "And then we will discuss the project in detail."
