[center][h2] Ventus Panteer [/h2][/center] "Stand by." The duke temporarily puts Zar'kun on hold. While he was speaking, a communications droid was signaling House Organa for a priority holo. A few moments later, the image of Lord Armond Organa appears. "Lord Organa, there is a small fleet of civilian starships in orbit. They claim to have a base of operations in Organa Lands. Can you please confirm or deny their presence?" [center][h2] Armond Organa [/h2][/center] Armond is a man in his later 30's with dark hair peppered with gray. Before Alderaan left from the Republic, he was it's Senator. It was his family castle that was badly damaged by Republic bombers several months ago, and his complaints to the queen that led to Alderaan's secession. As such, he has become very wary of outsider activity on his home planet. "I was not aware of any arrivals today, Duke, nor have I been made privy to any independent bases active in our lands for many years. Who are these men?" [center][h2] Ventus Panteer [/h2][/center] "Their leader, a man named Zar'kun Je'and, called their group the 'Sith Hunters', though I do not know what such people would want here. If you are unaware of their arrival, then this is most likely a trick. I'll have a fighter wing expel them from the system..." [center][h2] Armond Organa [/h2][/center] Armond noticeably reacts to hearing Zar'kun's name. The gears in his head turn as he considers his options. Armond interjects just as the duke is preparing to launch fighters. "There is no need for that, Duke Panteer. With respect, I believe I have made a mistake. The Sith Hunters are more than welcome in Organa lands. I assure you, they will not cause trouble. And if they do, I take full responsibility." [center][h2] Ventus Panteer [/h2][/center] "Very well, Lord Organa. I'll inform then at once." Ventus says his farewells before switching back to Zar'kun. "You are cleared to land. Proceed to your determined coordinates and..." The duke pauses, trying to force a pleasant air to his voice as he says, "Enjoy your stay on Alderaan."
