From Coruscant to Vakkar, through the invisible border and onto Roxuli. Now they say in the great darkness of space away from everything, the stars seemed even further away than normal. In the great black void between Roxuli and the Utegetu Nebula sat a station. It was small, no bigger than a few houses, just enough to sustain itself for a few days. Originally designed as a temporary observation platform for studying evolving species on newly discovered planets it had been retrofitted for its new purpose.
Gone was the sensitive monitoring equipment, the sample analysis room. It has all been stripped out to accommodate two individuals meeting for the first time. It was a momentous meeting, but shrouded in secrecy, for if the location got out members from all sides may seek to sabotage it or strike out at the two attendees.
A Single Starhawk floated through the void of space, its escort fleet left long behind back in Republic Space, travelling alone with its precious cargo. A shuttle departed the ship, making its way to the lone station.
Alexander sat inside the shuttle alone, the only other person was the pilot, whos nerves were truly being tested today as he flew towards potential death. For the person Alexander was meeting today was the Empress herself, the big bad of all the bedtime stories, the one with a million deaths on her hands. A true Lord of the Sith.
A thud signalled that the shuttle had attached itself and Alexander pulled himself out of his seat and made towards the door a walking cane in hand. Pulling on his cuffs to straighten his shirt, he passed through the airlock and into the station itself. He had been briefed a dozen times about the station's layout so was able to make it there with ease. The click of his cane along the floor was the only sound within the great metallic structure.
The meeting room was as lavish as could be expected in such short notice, a large table had been set in the middle either side two thick heavy seats suitable for royalty awaited both the Prince and the Empress. Alexander stopped alongside the Republic chair and rested his hand on its back, the cane lent against his leg. “Let us see if you will show, or blow me away, Empress.”
