Arris Windrun
Gutter Goddess
Humbarine. What a dull world it was, or so Arris thought. Smog-filled industry, but without any of the underworld charms, thanks to the cut of its former administration.
Imperialism was always a little different on Humbarine. Before she was Grand Moff under Solipsis's Empire,
Even with her gone, the vestiges of her rule remained. The officers, the doctrines, the expectations - they were all a rung higher up the ladder of competency than elsewhere in the 'Empire'. This installation in particular hosted a battery of ground-to-space cannons and an elite interceptor wing led by a trifecta of imperial aces. Their loyalty to Humbarine's local government was commendable, but more importantly, they were an asset in the Sith Covenant's pocket.
The Dark Horse arrived by shuttle and landed without fuss or fare. Officially, she was a cybernetic mercenary hired to evaluate the garrison. Many knew who she was by reputation - a hired gun, a Black Sun enforcer, and a semi-finalist in the galaxy's greatest contest. Few outsiders knew her true identity as a Sith, save a handful of Jedi and High Republic nobles. And honestly? She preferred it that way.
From the solitary Mandalorian's perspective, this mercenary departed her landing pad in the company of some junior officer, all well-dressed and proper.
In truth, she had arrived after some plainclothes ISB agents (traitors to their former cause, naturally) had raised the alarm of unknown soldiers--possibly Mandalorian--operating across the world.
