Aargu was vast, terrestrial yet with many cities, rich in minerals and wealth. A place where the rich got richer and the poor suffered. The planet held potential, a way into infiltrating the IBC which was why he was here to attempt to gain a foothold for the Sith. He found a method to achieve this goal via a subsidiary. Through the Bank of Aargu. A weak point he had found even despite the paramilitary they had at their command. It was only used by the bank to protect its banking assets and nothing more.

The planet was neutral, but could easily be swayed.

He looked to the two with him. Freyja, was one. One of Azar's apprentices he had heard, he had seen her at the party and spoken, she seemed very knowledgeable which was partly why she was here. He knew she would be a valuable asset, both for her combat prowess and her other skills. The other he wasn't sure about yet, however he was aware they were Pureblood female. One of the desert. They had briefly met not long ago at the same social event. She had been assigned. Trodai had been told she was without a master yet so figured he may as well give her a shot, see what she could do. Who knows if all went well enough and she showed considerable potential he might consider her to train himself even despite her bloodline. She could even be of future use where the desert tribes were concerned. He would soon see.

He questioned them as the shuttle approached the planet. "Now we finally have a moment allow me to explain why you both are here." he continued, expecting them to listen. There was a distinct difference between the man here and the one at the social. This was all business. Serious.

"We are here to try and gain a foothold for the Order. Aargu is weak. Vulnerable. And could prove a valuable infiltration point into the IBC if we do this right. I want you both to perform a heist. A fake heist upon the very Bank of Aargu itself. We shall set up a board member, a certain Arno Sirrill as being responsible, planting evidence to indicate him responsible. It requires subtlety. The bank employs a heavily armed paramilitary to guard the bank. Do what you must to get inside but ensure he is implicated and no signs are made of our or Sith involvement."

He looked at them both sternly "That means no lightsaber, unless absolutely necessary. After this heist we shall kill this man. Make it look like a accident and present the evidence to the bank. They will not be able to refute the words of a dead man and will be forced to comply to our terms or suffer from the scandal. Do you both understand?" he said looking at them. " If you have any questions now is the time, before we land at customs. I expect you to behave and act the tourist until we are in the city. From there you are on your own, I will assist where I can. Do well Kyssaria, if I remember the name correctly, and I may consider your training myself. Freyja, watch her and don't go making too much trouble. We cannot afford mistakes here."

He knew some might consider it long winded but it was necessary to ensure they completely understood the stakes and the task they had ahead. Trodai considered that he also had much riding on this, a chance to aid the Order and develop his own reputation as reliable.

Of being of use.

Kyssiara sat on the ship with the slightest of scowls on her face; visible enough if someone looked at her for long enough, but not so obvious that it betrayed much emotion. Of course one of 'them' was running the mission. Her gaze focused on the champion in charge, one Trodai iv-Adas, a member of one of the royal houses from Korriban. The acolyte had no doubt that he already viewed her as disposable trash, or perhaps a handy tool at best; her damn Graush name was one thing, but the four fingers on her right hand immediately identified her as an outcast, a dirty hybrid. She'd show him. She'd show them all, one day. For now though, she'd play along to the best of her ability.

Kyssiara listened as Trodai explained the mission to both her and the other acolyte tagging along, Freyja. She didn't know her new companion at all, but she'd make the best of it. Luckily it sounded like it would be mainly the two of them running the mission. There would be plenty of time to get to know her and determine if she'd be a future rival. Not to mention, the less royal attitude about the better.


"There will be no mistakes, sir."
the acolyte curtly replied, adjusting the nonchalant armor she'd prepared for this mission. <And the name's Kyssiara, actually. It's a... common mistake.> she added on in full ur-Kittat, meeting the other Pureblood's gaze. They'd all know her name one day. Until then, she'd let her innocent enough correction speak for itself.

It was perhaps not a very common job that laid ahead of Freyja as she was somewhat tagging along on a mission that was supposedly posing a challenge to the other acolyte that was sitting across from her, but the task ahead seemed promising in terms of offering a challenge that would most certainly help expanding her own knowledge and skills.

As Champion Narat-iv-Adas adressed them, the Half-Annfyn listened intently. While the Sith Order was still mostly operating from the shadows, it was obvious that by messing with the IBC, they could gain a much more solid foundation that would allow them to expand their influence quicker.

Freyja was someone who usually operated subtly and definitely prefered such subtle approaches, so this job seemed right up her alley. "Understood", she respectfully inclined her head, before the pureblood acolyte added something in ancient Sith. Freyja's knowledge in ur-Kittat was rather limited, but she understood enough to tell it was about her name.

"Do we know more about this man?", she wanted to know, while at the same time she wondered why the Champion wasn't planning on accompanying them inside. Yet, the more information they had, the more precisely they could strike. "Also, do we know how many guards they roughly employ each day?", perhaps the Champion had contact to an inside man already, otherwise they'd go in blind...

Trodai listened and was surprised by how formal the other Pureblood was. Now he knew what it was like on the other end, chuckling a little at her sarcastic tone as he spoke. He could "No need to be so formal, you don't need to call me sir. Kyssiria it is then, sorry if I offended you. Whoever assigned you spelt incorrectly."

At Freyja line of questioning, a valid point he handed each a datapad with the information so they could digest it more easily. He could see why Azar liked and chose her. "Valid question. He lives downtown, apartment 206-B, Fifth floor. Enjoys the lifestyle of the rich. Arrogant, snobby, political type. Cares only about the credit flow. You will have to infiltrate the building and make your way up past a dozen mercenary types to get into his penthouse when planting the evidence. Private security from the Bank of Aargau Security, Ltd. They run planetary defence and secure the vaults. Paramilitary for most part and elite. So be careful, they will likely shoot first ask later."

He paused a moment allowing them to digest it "Same security is in the bank itself. Roughly employing about five man team on the main floor, along with desk clerks and manager. With a further 20 further down into to the vault itself. Rumour says they use some kind of retinal scanner and biometric systems. So you may need to grab a captain. Do what you have to to secure your way in. Just as I said no lightsaber and keep yourself from being seen. Mask yourself. While you infiltrate I shall attempt to disable the security office in the bank, and the alarms, make your job easier. But it won't be for long so you must be quick. Any other questions?"

He said, allowing Kyssiria a chance if she had any.

Kyssiara listened to Trodai's response with a slight eyebrow raised, somewhat surprised at the champion's relaxed and respectful attitude. It was certainly unexpected, and as such the Pureblood didn't know what exactly to make of it. Now wasn't the time to figure this guy out though; they had a mission to complete. She nodded along as Frejya asked some very good questions, listening carefully to Trodai's responses. The other acolyte was right: without information on exactly what, where, who, and how this heist was all going to go down, they really didn't stand much of a chance.

"So to be clear," Kyssiara began, "We've got to break into the bank, rob the vault, escape, and then infiltrate this Arno Sirrill's apartment to plant evidence that he orchestrated the job?" There was no sarcasm in her voice, but simply a matter-of-fact approach to getting down the basics of the task ahead of them. The Pureblood was determined not to mess anything up. This was her first chance to cement herself as a viable Sith, and she wouldn't be passing it up.
