The Republic's Nakatomi Station floated as a gateway from the mid-rim to the colonies, a place to refuel and unwind when freighters and traders needed a stopgap on the long flight in from deep space, ships loaded with exotic wares, peoples, travelers, and all manner of other things.
It was fittingly then, such a reason Master Vollen Shai found himself here on such a fateful day. Travelling the hyperlanes back to the deep core, there was only so long that anyone, even a Jedi, could keep cooped up inside a starfighter. The station itself should have been teeming with people, and though still plenty walked its halls the war it seemed had scared many away to be sure. Understandably, of course, the thought of civilians getting caught up in that fight filled him with dread, and yet he knew that there would be no way around it, certainly not when the Cartel was in action.
Fittingly then, as such thoughts swam through his mind as he strode the shopping concourse, he would find himself an altogether unwitting participant in just such a show of Cartel cruelty,
"Nakatomi Station" boomed a voice from the shipboard comm system "This is the leader of the Black Heart. This station..." the voice was suddenly interrupted by the bark of a blaster firing close by, and the screams of civilians as they scattered "... is ours, let's say... compulsorily acquired for the Cartel's war efforts. Don't try and fight back. Don't be a hero, or you'll die one. We appreciate your cooperation in this. But otherwise, welcome to the party" the man finished as the comm system abruptly cut out, another bark of blaster fire coming from round the corner of Vollen's position. Looking around for any sign of allies or enemies, he could only hope he wasn't going to be alone in trying to free this station.
