2007-10-27 - Sienar in Distress

The main spaceport of Coronet occupies a substantial area of land on the south side of the city. It is a large open landing field with many pads and above-ground docking bays interspersed throughout the fields of razorgrass that allow for all but the largest of freighters to land on the planet's surface easily. To the north is the large customs complex that handles all traffic from the spaceport to Coronet proper and the rest of Corellia. The spaceport itself and Treasure Ship Row to the south, famous for its mixture of alien cultures, bustling bars and lively events, lie within a security cordon all around the perimeter.
To the east a large, dense forest is visible and to the southwest is a great ocean, its stormy waves breaking on sandy beaches that run along the spaceport's perimeter. Northeast of the spaceport is a largely industrialized sector of Coronet holding many of the major Corellian corporate offices and ground-based infrastructure and to the northwest across the bay is the commercial sector where business is done in stylish settings.
Tuil backs off, extending a hand to Hodgen to back off with him as this is a private conversation between senators of the Republic. However, the captain still reaches out, feeling with senses other than the five humans are endowed with. As an aside to the freighter captain, he asks, "What is your homeworld, sir?"
"Viceroy. This news is extremely disturbing. We will have to leave our conversations about Mantellian independence for another day. I, for one, believe that we should immediately order the Republic Fleet to surround Nar Shaddaa with a full blockade, and assemble a Special Forces team to make landing, and capture Bulba the Hutt if he will not immediately surrender," Bail Organa says. He pauses, and shakes his head, "As for the alligations against Pavaan Hor, the man is as foul a criminal as any. And his implication in this mess leaves me wanting to make sure that he is taken out of power as well. But for that, I propose that we present a united front to redouble patrols between the Norad System, and Republic Systems."
Bail pauses in his flurry of speech, and considers his signet ring for the briefest of moments. Then he looks up and his face is grim, "But more pressing than either of these is the sale of Sienar Fleet Systems' assets to other Republic Worlds. Alderaan purchased some of these assets, and I have traced the sale of others to Corellia, Kuat, Vanix, Bothawui, and Mon Calamari, primarily. We had no idea that these things were being sold at gunpoint. I propose that you and I begin to set an example, by forgiving the debt of Sienar, by not collecting on the sales, and thus providing relief to the planet."
Hodgen backs away with Tuil understanding these things are far above his head or even anything he should be interested with. Having disregarded both the Viceroy and his new guest, he turns his attention to tuil "Coruscant, born and raised"
Tuil listens and nods, pleased apparently by what he hears of the plans of Bail Organa. His attention turning fully to Hodgen, the captain nods and remarks, "I am from Coruscant as well, though I am now a citizen of Corellia for the purpose of being in CorSec and serving the viceroy. We will have to return home sometime together and have a drink at the 'Hub of the Republic', my favorite tavern." He grins at this little in-joke.
Looking especially grave, the Viceroy nods as he listens to His Majesty. "Your Majesty, of course the matter of Ord Mantell must be set aside. As for patrolling the Outer Rim, I completely agree and CorSec will do so as long as Corellia is protected as well. On this matter of the liquidation of Sienar's assets, I will have to consult with my own financial advisors to confirm before I can take any action."
Grinning a little with a nod "Id love to..."his face becomes slightly more serious "the ViceRoy mentioned some work...dont suppose youd know anything about that?"
Tuil goes from a smile to a frown as he hears Ksar's comment. He shakes his head and then glances at Hodgen... "Right, right. Uh... No, I don't know what he might have in mind. He's always looking for recruits. But I would say you can trust in the fact that if you accept any of his proposals, you'll be well paid."
Smiling largely he reaches out and gives a manly pat to the captains shoulder "Well, then the Viceroy just became my favorite client, even though recruit is a little more restricting than I like" He points to the insignia on his chest "Hence the mercenary getup"
"I would confirm it immediately, if I were you, my dear Viceroy. Ours are some of the most prosperous planets in the Republic. If we set the example, then others may follow, and this can be made to be less of a crisis for Sienar, and more of an example of how the Republic can work together," Bail says. He sighs, "Please, Viceroy. Corellia is wealthier even than Alderaan."
"I will do so immediately, Your Majesty has my word on that. If Corellia does take action to ease Sienar's suffering, I do hope others will follow our example. Is there anything else Your Majesty requires of me," the Viceroy asks.
Bail Organa shakes his head, "That is all." He strides off, but looks back over his shoulder at Ksar a moment later. Then he sighs, and walks off.
The Viceroy is not pleased by this exchange with the King and it shows as he turns back towards Tuil and Hodgen. "Your pardon Captain Hodgen. What were you and Captain Lindo discussing?"
