A significant amount of time had passed since the Zann Consortium established their black market operation in Lessu. It was the capital of the entire planet, and was home to thousands of individuals and businesses. Perhaps the most successful local establishment was Gandar's Food Emporium, known for an assortment of exotic foods and spices. Those with more sinister intentions however knew this to simply be a front for a much larger, and far more lucrative business. The Zann Consortium were arms dealers, and redistributed some of the most illegal and deadly tech in the galaxy. Rocket launchers, thermal detonators, computer spikes even disruptor tech. They sold it all, to any merc or bounty hunter with the credits.
As one could expect, this would lead to Grace Zann, the leader of the consortium becoming quite rich. Their sales on the planet were going well, but it was time to step things up to the next level. The woman had a very long list of contacts who could move product for her, and a very business savvy bothan who could negotiate deals. It was time for her to negotiate a deal of her own however, but not without some assistance.
@Nor'baal Desilijic had previously reached out to Grace about a joint venture on Ryloth. The planet had recently received a new senator, and he wanted to cut a deal with Ryloth. One that would help the syndicates no doubt. Personally, the woman had a more bold idea. She wanted to sell her weaponry directly to Ryloth's military, and make a killing in the process.
Grace would wait the arrival of the hutt in Lessu's space port... And wait.... And wait... "Damn it, when's he going to get here!?" the woman would mutter to herself. Maybe she should just attempt to see @Ryssa Kalayli alone, then Nor'baal would have a chance to make a grand entrance.
One week earlier, the woman had posed as a leader of a farmer's guild, and placed a request to speak to the senator about agricultural issues. Thankfully, her request was accepted by one of the senator's bookkeepers, unaware that it would actually be a pair of crime lords speaking to the woman.
Too impatient to wait for Nor'baal, Grace decided to take the initiative and head directly to the senator's office in the middle of town...
