16 What a sTavirastys (1/2)
Naboo had joined the New Republic, but was under the protection of Tobias Rune for the duration of the Galactic Civil War, at least until the Battle of Jakku. However there were still some other remnants across the galaxy. Some of them much closer than one would believe, such as the planet of Eiattu 6 in the Ado sector next door to the Chommell Sector.
Just a day after returning from the planet of Akiva, Inferno Squad is sent on another mission, extract the local Imperial Moff of the planet Eiattu 6 as an asset for the Imperium.
The Corvus shook out of hyperspace as it entered the system, rocketing towards its intended target. The warm climate planet with light forests, swamps and massive oceans. With the death of the original Moff and a teenager inheriting the title, the world seemed to be in political turmoil. There was rebellion against the Priamsta government which had originally overthrown the Royal Family.
Ironically the person manipulating this rebellion was a rogue Imperial agent and Leonia herself who supported the Liberation party. This however has been foreseen to not work out. The fledgling Imperium has intelligence than the true heir to the throne was returning to the world in order to expose Leonia and her false Prince.
Breaking through the atmosphere and clashing with the Stratocumulus clouds which had formed over the planet's capital. The raider-II corvette didn't initiate its cloaking system and quietly landed at the Imperial Citadel.
A handful of Scout Trooper commandos came pouring down the ramp and securing the location as Tavira's own stormtrooper garrison began to slowly close in on the unknown landing party.
However upon seeing the scout troopers, the storm troopers slowly eased up. ”What is your designation? Who is your commanding officer?” One of the Imperial Officers from the Stormtrooper Corps called out as they made their way over towards the troopers.
That's when Inferno Squad in black scout armor came walking down the loading ramp. The moment they were seen the Imperial Officer almost dropped dead. He simply stared at them.
”What brings Special Forces to this out of the way planet?” The Officer tried to seem uninterested in their current assigned post. Either that or felt as if they needed to appear to flatter them.
”Commander Iden Versio, Orders from Grand Moff Tobias Rune,” Iden responded as she tapped the rifle which was slung over her shoulder. ”We're to extract the Governor Leonia Tavira before the Royal Princess returns with the New Republic.”
The Officer stood there rather dumbfounded. Why would a Grand Moff want to bother with a young, sexually inclined, governor who manipulates those around her for her own gain? He pursed his lips, unless that is what the Moff wanted out of her?
Iden simply stared at the face the officer was making, she began impatiently fidgeting with her weapon, which suddenly made him snap back to attention. What she was doing, made him quite nervous as it did with the regular troopers on watching from a short distance away.
”Ah.. Yes, Commander. Are the rest of us coming with you...?” The Officer now knowing that the planet was going to be invaded by the New Republic, rebels, wasn't too enthusiastic about staying.
”Hm... No,” Kraytia answered as she reached out with the force, all of the stormtroopers weapons were pulled from their hands. A wall of rifles and pistols formed from their arsenal and turned on them.
”Wai-!” Unable to finish even a single word, the entire welcoming committee was gunned down without much more than an utter.
Iden and Del looked over at her for a few moments before looking forward at the dead troopers. They then locked their eyes on the weapons ferrying themselves over towards the loading ramp and then dropping to the floor.
Getting a hint, the commandos began loading the weapons onto the ship.
”Was that really necessary?” Iden and Del both questioned Kraytia who shrugged, seemingly having killed the troopers on a whim. Which was rather scary since she could do that to pretty much anyone else around her.
Letting out a sigh, the three of them would make their way into the Imperial Citadel. The place was rather cosey and there was a large amount of wealth here. It was as if it was all being funneled into the hands of Leonia. It indeed was, which meant she was stealing from the people and couldn't be trusted with governing affairs.
”She is so getting demoted...” Del scoffed as he knew this wouldn't sit with the Grand Moff. He was a man for the people after all, and this kind of corruption wouldn't be openly tolerated.
Iden rolled her eyes and snickered. The stormtroopers on guard seemed to ignore them, they recognized their armor and their Inferno Emblem. They were special forces and there was few reasons for them to be present on the planet. One of the main things though that they could only assume, was that they were here to extract the Moff. The question was, why?
The last time that question was answered however, it seemed people died. So even though they didn't know this quite yet, they found it unlikely that anyone inside would be asking questions.
”So why do you think he wants anything to do with this Leonia character?” Iden asked as she heard stories about how she had probably killed her late husband's previous wife and even had a hand in his own death. This didn't look quite good at all, she seemed to be an Imperial that fancied herself above all the rest.
”Chew toy?” Del mused before seeing both of the girls look at him, glaring at him from beneath their helmets. They had heard stories about her, using her own body to incur control and favor over men.
Kraytia then shrugged abruptly, ”Probably. Wouldn't put it past him. Apparently half the assassins sent to kill the Moff were women, and most of the time, it was after they had sex.” She snickered awkwardly as she thought about her Master. What she said almost made him sound like a lecher, though he wouldn't deny it as he was quite irresponsible.
