Nameless Spaceport, Sevarcos
The Sevari spice lords had never shown any interest in joining hands with any of their galactic neighbors, and had even resisted all attempts to form diplomatic relationships with anyone. Be it the Hutts, the Free Worlds, or the Republic, all such attempts had been emphatically, and sometimes rudely, rebuffed. But something had changed, a day ago they had reached out, an urgent call from one of the spice lords for a meeting on Sevarcos, with a possible alliance on the cards.
Sevarcos was neither been a threat to worry about, nor a sufficiently viable target to consider invading or forming diplomatic alliances with, so there weren't any active agents on the planet. What little intelligence they did have seemed to confirm growing tensions among the spice lords, but why, and to what extent was not known. Add in the fact that it could be a trap, even if no one thought the Sevari were unlikely to be brain-dead enough to consider antagonizing the Empire, and no one was willing to send anyone important to deal with them. It had not taken long for the request to reach a Moff's desk, and for her to track down someone worthless enough for the job, which was why the operation had landed in Jasnah's lap.
She had asked for support, and as expected her request had been shut down. Things were going crazy up north, and an insignificant investigation lead by someone even more insignificant did not warrant more resources. Thankfully they had allowed her to make an open call for support from any operatives in the area, confident that no one would actually volunteer. Imagine hers, and Jasnah's surprise when someone had actually answered. Jasnah was sure that had pissed some people off, whoever it was had either been too indifferent to care about the Moff's little schemes, or intent on pissing her off. Either way, Jasnah considered it a curiosity worth investigating.
So, here she was, waiting patiently at the spaceport, wanting nothing more than to ignore the questioning looks her would be guide kept on giving her. She wasn't sure if he was always this twitchy, or just being around a Sith made him more nervous than usual, but it was in her nature to diffuse situations so she smiled at him and spoke up, assuring him for maybe the thousandth time since her arrival.
"Any moment now, I promise."
