Any other day, Jace would've said that he knew his home planer of Bandomeer like the back of his hand. He had grown up amidst the streets of Bandor, learning his way around the local politics due to the influence of his father. He had spent time in the various mines, first watching the worker's produce Ionite under the close supervision of his mother, then negotiating with the executives in order to secure the support that he had needed in his bid for Senator. He had traversed the wilds of the planet as well, taking in its natural beauty and reminding himself that it was just a small part of the Republic that he protected.
Any other day besides today, that is. For today Jace was heading into the parts of Bandor that he had never needed to enter before. The Red light district, home to the infamous Meerian Black Market. One of the local gangs, the Eclipse, had committed an unprecedented crime, stealing enough Ionite to buy a small Capital Ship after it had been sold on inflated Black Market prices. Jace knew just as well as the gang did that the local government would never be able to stop them if they stayed within regular procedure. As far as anyone was concerned, it was as good as gone.
But Jace wasn't one to stick with regular procedure. No, he was the kind of man who saw an opportunity to be had from this instead. He had pulled what strings he had to find a prominent member of the Eclipse, and had succeeded in arranging a meeting. If he played his cards right, he'd be able to get the Ionite back from the gang, and the corrupt executives who would otherwise have owned it. Once in his possession, the profits from the goods would go a long way towards fueling his efforts in keeping the republic alive.
Of course, he knew better than to meet someone so dangerous without proper precautions. The man, a Meerian by the name of GenFal, had made it clear that each party would only be permitted to bring a single guard to the meeting.
And what better guard could Jace procure than a Jedi?
He had reached out to the women Lyanna Vahlaar, a Knight who was already hunting the Eclipse for reasons not for the man's own ears, and informed her that the meeting might be an ideal opportunity for her as well. That was all that it had taken, and she had agreed to meet him here, just outside the Red Light District.
All there was to do now, was wait for her to arrive.
