Vanqor
Coordinates: R-5
Vetas had never before been a man of means, and even should the delusions of wealth and greed had ever occurred to the stoic Anzat his wildest expectations would never had prepared for the.... luxury of being a Moff of an entire planet. While Vanqor on it's lonesome was not a particularly prosperous planet, given it's close proximity to the very heart of the Brotherhood's empire, it does in fact experience quite a large amount of trade despite it's dangerous local fauna. Indeed, to a small extent, the local dangerous wildlife could be attributed a bit with some of the more.... adventurous and wealthy seeking to hunt the planet's local Gundark population. Despite this, Vetas was distinctly impressed at first by how industrious and hardy Vanqor's people were. Which should of came as little surprise considering the utter challenge colonizing the planet would have presented to begin with.
Thus, with 'his' people's rugged determination and will to not only survive this planet, but thrive, he was now housed in a rather large, if primitively styled... well... the word fortress comes to mind. The structure's impressive size, internal layout and outer defenses in both terrain and the structure itself, made it all too clear that this place was designed with the express purpose of acting as a seat of power or, at the very least, a bastion from the ravenous Gundarks that stalked the planet below.
As if the planet were readily accepting him by proving his point, Vetas had only taken the time to study records of the Council of Moff's last meeting, and stay a single night in his now personal chambers after his business on Tatooine before the defensive emplacements had to.... handle a small pack of the native fauna that had crept too close. Now, in the seemingly endless twilight that was Vanqor's day cycle, Vetas had a few pressing matters that now stole his attention in the holo-projector before him. The first, and soon to be the most pressing, was the mesage that his requested guest in Moff Ayindri Za'til was about to arrive. The second was a report to Warlord Ragnorik, whom he was still uncertain about either merely sending the report or requesting the Warlord's personal presence. Whether the latter request would be seen as deference or impetuous entitlement Vetas did not entirely care, as he oft left the ploys of power-grabbing to more... short-sighted Sith.
Vetas sighed, before running a gauntlet-ed hand down his face in exasperation. Pausing as his fingertips glided over his now-exposed proboscis as they lilted and swished lazily in the air. He was utterly alone in his personal quarters, and thus had no qualms about unsheathing his Anzati-specific appendages. His mask presently rested gently in one hand and after only a brief hesitance, Vetas decided to leave it behind. A small show of respect at least, for his guest. He did, however, retract his proboscis back into his cheek-sacs and set out to leave his room. Opening the door to the long, dark hallway outside with a brief flick of his wrist. Immediately, before he even truly passed the threshold, he heard the tell-tale click of military boots coming together and the slight rattle of guns being held just a bit more firmly as the guardsmen outside his chambers stood to a more rigid attention. Passing the men with only a brief nod in their direction, Vetas' normal battle attire and cloak whisked like a dancing shadow about his feet as he began to walk towards the fortresses landing pad. Two of the six guardsmen stationed outside his quarters falling in step behind him.
Hidden from the grounds before it, the fortresses rather large landing pad was nevertheless tucked securely behind the highest tier walls of the imposing structure and surrounded by a small, if currently efficiently-manned tower tasked with directing the surprisingly-busy airspace around the tower as Moff Vetas had already set in motions his designs for his personal abode ahead of his actual arrival. As the Moff stepped out onto the actual landing pad, he could sense his guest in the force even as the shutter slowly settled in to land. His hands were calmly laced behind his back and his feet were spread ever-so-slightly wider apart than normal as he watched the boarding ramp descend, and his foremost guest now officially make his company.
Giving a smile perhaps a bit more charming than intended due to the nature of Anzati feeding, Vetas nodded his head slightly in the direction of Moff Ayindri. His eyes displaying their odd fissured appearance, as if criss-crossed by veins of lava against their blue/green back-drop as they respectfully met the gaze of his guest and he cleared his throat slightly before speaking in his usual low yet smooth, almost bored-sounding tone of voice, as if his natural level of speech was intended for that of a story-teller or one who read poetry for a living. "Welcome Moff Ayindri, to Vanqor, your visit is... appreciated." Giving only a slight pause he simply awaited the Pure-blood's response, not yet moving ahead with his actions and words but also not anxious to be too sedentary for very long did his smile drop as he thought over his next course of action. He did, after all, have much to discuss and do. Around the two Moff's soldiers and workers alike moved equipment, supplies, crates of food and everything in-between frantically about, on and off the landing pad like a busy colony of ants though none of them dared to get too close.
