A swift wind ripped across the plains of Ansion, thick stalks of wheat blew from side to side. It was almost harvest season, the farmers checking the weather each day waiting to see if today was the day. But the sun was shining a little too bright, the ground a little too dry, so today wasn’t the day. That suited Alexander fine, he rode his hired speeder bike through the fields towards the designated meeting point.
It was an old farming estate, far from the hustle and bustle of the capitol city. He had told his aides that he needed some time away from the endless meetings and dinners. The Senator of Hynestia had arrived on the planet to discuss with the planet's leadership about becoming a potential Bastion world. It was a bill the Hynestian Prince was sponsoring, to help push back the tide of Sith and Mandalorian aggression within Republic and Alliance Space.
It seemed that most of the broad ideas and paperwork had been agreed and those that needed to agree, had. Now it was down to the fine details, something that honestly didn’t need the Senator’s input, this was for the legal, financial and military minds needed to hash out amongst themselves. The Senator was now just a rubber stamp guy. This had given Alexander the perfect pretence to get away, from the defence of the Republic and into its potential downfall.
For none but a minute few people in the galaxy knew that Alexander Xerxes, was not only a Senator of Hynestia, but a Sith Champion. It had been six months since he had met with his handler and it was now time to check in.
Gone were the suits that everyone was used to seeing the Prince in, he had snuck out in casual wear, a mask covering his face. The Speeder came to a slow stop outside the estate, the dust of the late autumn kicking up behind him. Stepping off he pulled the speeder helmet, quickly replacing it with a ball cap just in case a satellite was passing by overhead. Alexander looked around he couldn’t see anyone around, closing his eyes he unlocked the pent up Force power inside and begun to reach out to check if he was alone.
