Trigalis, Juris Sector
New Coronet City
Katarina Forge sat in a cafe, watching the people of the criminal haven go about their day-to-day lives. She wore an open aviator jacket over a shirt and trousers tucked into calf-high boots, the only acknowledgement of her femininity the buttons at her collar being undone low enough to show a hint of cleavage. Her collar-length honey-brown hair was pulled back into a club ponytail at the base of her neck, though a few strands had fallen loose and were constantly floating back to her face. Katarina's hazel eyes were distant, not really watching the people so much as scanning them for potential threats while her mind wandered elsewhere. She sighed, having just realized what her train of thought had been.
All Katarina ever thought about these days was the war. She had no family, and all of her friends were either dead or in hiding. She herself couldn't make new ones, given how she was constantly on the move and always engaged in operations against the Sith. The war against the Dark Side consumed nearly every waking minute of her days, and even gnawed at her dreams at night. Of course, judging by the dark whispers in the back of her mind, there were probably worse things for her thoughts to dwell on.
In Trigalis for more than just dark thoughts and people-watching, though, Katarina was waiting on someone. The Imperial Knights had contacted a criminal organization known as the Initiative, giving no indications of their true identity but hinting at lucrative contracts in exchange for their services and discretion. Katarina smiled wryly. She was not a fan of this cloak-and-dagger stuff. Still. . . it was for the Emperor, may he rest in peace, and if the service to the Empire demanded she drag her honor through the mud and consort with criminals, then so be it.
But that did not mean she had to like it.
