Though the planet was an Ecumenopolis, billions of people lived and worked here Lianna was known less for her own history or merit but that of one of its only big exports. The TIE fighter, Lianna was home to the headquarters of Sienar and Sienar-Jaemus Fleet systems, the renowned Starship designer who created some of the most iconic Starfighters to have flown battles across the galaxy for the last two centuries. It was a strange thought even to Artorigas that a planet so large as this and so close to the centre of Sith space, he had never heard of. His end goal was now in sight, only a few of the last pieces were needed and one resided here on Lianna it seemed.

"This is control 9919 of Starport Valles. 'Wyvern' you have clearance to land on pad twelve." Artorigas flicked the switch to his right opening his own comn channel back. "Received Control 9919, we are heading in now." They had made a slow decent from orbit, after dropping out of hyperspace they had sent their request down that two Sith wished to meet with the head of Sienar Fleet Systems. They had not said their exact reasoning or divulged that both Artorigas and the women who travelled with him were only Acolyte's among the Sith Eternal, but that was not something they needed to know. Only that Sith wished to meet with the head of the company, a request like that would get most on edge so it seemed their meeting had been pushed through rather quickly.

Guiding the ship through the traffic of the planet, he spotted landing pad twelve and shifted the stick to the right to guide it in, nearby he spotted what appeared to be a pair of test models for new fighters sat on pads full of engineers and scientists roaming across them like ants. Cydric sat next to him in the pilot seat flicking a few switches as they neared the pad, a low hiss signalled the extending of the landing gear as they glided in on their final approach. Twisting at the last moment to arrive butt first into the pad the Wyvern touched down. They all felt the slight bump as the shock absorbers took the weight of the transport from the engines, once the bounce had finished the pair began flicking more switches, nobs and dials powering down the ship. "Do a quick diagnostic whilst you wait Cydric, she felt a little choppy coming out of hyperspace back there." Artorigas said as he unbuckled himself from the seat and headed back from the cockpit into the living areas behind.

Like many other Lantillian Transports, the Wyvern had been kitted out for luxury, the ship was originally the primary mode of off world transport for the House of Wessex before Artorigas commandeered it for his own transportation. His father was initially extremally unhappy with this and had demanded it be returned at once, but his uncle had eased it over with him. Explaining that it got Artorigas out of the way flying around in the ship so his father and uncle could run the family easier without him. Artorigas was sure his father was on to his Sith secret but he could not be a hundred percent until he finally made his move. In the middle of the quarters was a rather luscious looking living area, two L shaped sofas, a coffee table, bar and small kitchen area. Enough for anyone to be able to relax whilst on a long journey, off from the main quarters were four bedrooms, the two towards the front were occupied by himself and Cydric respectively leaving the two double bedrooms at the back for any passengers, though mostly it was just the pair of them travelling.

Like the gentleman he was, he had offered his fellow Sith transport from the centre of Sith space...

Sitting alone in one of the bedrooms about the Wyvern, Aadya was passing the time by flipping through a holobook on one of her datapads. What she was reading wasn't anything particularly special, just a collection of short horror stories she liked when having to pass time while in hyperspace.

When she felt the familiar thumps and bumps of a starship landing, Aadya tucked her datapad back into her pocket and got up from the bed. Heading towards the living area, Aadya arrived at around the same time as Artorigas. She didn't really know the guy very well, but he'd asked her to come along on this peculiar mission and she'd obliged without much hesitation. Nothing like padding up your resume when it came time for Marauder promotions.

You think Sienar-Jaemus is going to be receptive? Aadya asked idly, unsure of what kind of research Artorigas had done into if his negotiations would even get off the ground. I'll follow your lead for now.

Aadya wasn't used to being a follower, but this scenario was a little bit out of her depth. Heading for the loading ramp, she'd wait in case Artorigas had any last minute things to do so they could exit together. Best to show a united front and all that.

Artorigas smiled at the young women as she exited her own cabin at the rear. Flying together always made things easier, the last thing you needed was one of you being held up by the control tower or being put down on a pad a mile away from each other. He went over to the coffee table where his customary mask sat, he always wore it when on Sith business, it had become a part of him, ever since he first had to hide his true nature from his family back on Serenno. He had thought long and hard about taking it this time, it has pros and cons but in the end his inner nature won out and picked up the mask.

He turned back to face Aadya as she asked him a question. "You picked a good partner for this one." The voice inside said creepily, he chose to ignore it and replied to the fellow Acoylte. "Sinear have always done business with the Sith, first through the Empire then the First Order and also Final Order. They even supply some of our ships now." He finished before following her down onto the ramp, he was a step behind her, the ramp a little too small for them both to fit down side by side without being a bit to close for new acquaintances. He had also seen her at the Ball a short time earlier and he knew that he was definitely not her type. Just before they came into view from anyone beyond the ship he slipped the metallic mask over his face, covering his face from view apart from his deep blue eyes.

There were a few delegates waiting for them at the other end of the pad, all smartly dressed and looking if anything rather nervous. "My concern is the lack of development, you look back at what we once had to what we have now, its a joke. The top brass are either holding out on us or they are stupid and either way we should correct that, for both our own sakes and the Eternals." Artorigas finished his voice sounding raspy through the rebreather built into the mask. He then stepped forward leading the way across the landing pad to the four person delegation awaiting them.
