The Arbiter and Pursuer combination was likely going to become a regular acquisition of the Empress as her rule continued. Having a mobile city at your command was useful, though she found herself longing for the plants and jungles of home. Or even any planet. The myriad of plants that she had had placed in her personal room simply didn't cut it for her.
She pulled her thoughts free from random and unproductive musings as her eyes flicked back to the briefing in front of her. It was round two of trying to meet with the Syndicates, and unfortunately, Renfry was not in as positive of a mood this time.
Imperial Intelligence had compiled a report of the man she was to meet, and this time she was taking no chances. She wouldn't be going into another penthouse packed with enemies, but instead the meeting would be held aboard the Arbiter floating in dead space at prearranged coordinates just outside Southern Imperial territory.
Shane Covax. Member of the Zaa Fenn. Enforcer, she mumble-read to herself. She'd been informed that was somewhat equivalent to a Commander of the Empire, which gave her a better understanding of what she was dealing with.
But the situation was changing. Public declarations of war by the ISC against the pirates involved put optics on this little alliance under further scrutiny. There was much to consider.
As for Covax, he would be allowed to land his ship in the hangar and any members of his crew or retinue would be allowed to remain in relative comfort aboard the ship while he was escorted up to a large conference room where the Empress sat at a table. There were a lot of plants at the edges of the room, which was highly unusual for most conference rooms, but to each their own. She was dressed in simply red and black robes with a saber hanging from her belt and a datapad and several pieces of paper in front of her, awaiting his arrival.
