STAR WARS
THE LOST ORDER
The outer rim world of Taris was once considered a hub world for many in the galaxy. Once covered in sprawling swaps and sky-high cities filled with the wealthy, and home to a wide variety of species, an ancient catastrophe ended that with the charred hulls of a thousand naval fleets littering its landscape. It's once booming cities replaced with makeshift homes made from the wrecks. Despite the tragedy, it somehow managed to retain its status as a major hub world. Its inhabitant still made up of an uncountable number of species. The perfect hiding place for someone on the run. Hondo Ohnaka was one such person, the infamous leader of the Ohnaka Gang sprinted full speed through the makeshift markets filling the streets. Crashing into an unsuspecting shopper, Ohnaka jumped to his feet looking back along his path in fear before taking off at full speed once again. Ducking into the first open door he could find, Ohnaka found himself in the lobby of a long-abandoned apartment building. Smiling at his good fortune Hondo made his way through the lobby and into the dark labyrinth of corridors in hopes of a way out and back to his ship on the outskirts of the city, blissfully unaware of the two shadows stalking him. Turning a corner Hondo walked through an open door to see a wall. He had walked into a storage closet. Mentally cursing himself Hondo Ohnaka was suddenly overwhelmed by fear. The air itself seemed to drop in temperature. Slowly turning to put his back against the wall Hondo was flung forward into the wall by an invisible hand. Winded by the impact Ohnaka fought to catch his breath while standing up. A gloved black hand violently grabbed his throat and pulled him to his feet, pinning him against the wall. Hondo's blurry vision cleared to be met by two hooded figures. Bodily features told him that the one standing in front of him was a female. A guess put her height at around 5 feet 5, about right considering her small but clearly athletic frame, hidden by the all black apparel she wore. Black boots not unlike the boots of a Jedi had been paired with a pair of slim military trousers. A belt adorned with pouches and gadgets wrapped itself around her waist. Stretching up and around her torso was a black long-sleeved shirt, it looked very like the black body glove worn by the Republic Clone troopers under their white armour plates. Fingerless black gloves covered her hands, one hidden behind the caped hood mask she wore. A quick squeeze of her accomplice and by extension Hondo's throat brought his attention to said accomplice. The lack of the distinguishing features that led Hondo to conclude that the first person was a female told him that the second was male. That was all Hondo could conclude, the male assailant was clothed in the same apparel as the female, making it impossible to for Hondo to know anymore.
"What's your hurry pirate," asked a female voice, confirming Hondo's analysis
"Hurry? I'm not in a hurry, just a little late y'know" Hondo replied with difficulty due to the hand clamped on his throat. "I would be more open to helping if your friend was not choking me"
The female tilted her head in consideration before giving a subtle nod to her accomplice, this was followed by his throat being released by the second assailant.
"Tell us what we want to know Ohnaka and we'll let you be on your way" replied the female waving her hand towards the door "simple as that"
"what do you wanna know?" Hondo said in a sly manner
"Who is currently running the Black Sun crime syndicate?" The hooded male said gruffly
"the who? I have no idea who they are" Hondo replied before being roughly shoved against the wall and presented with a dark green unmistakable blade of a lightsaber
"Nothing goes on in this sector without your knowledge Ohnaka, tell us now or we will end your life" threatened the female
"Okay, Okay. I've had dealings with the Black Sun, but always through hologram, never in person. Always hooded" Hondo replied hastily
"What dealings," said the male as he crossed his arms, revealing his lightsaber, previously hidden by the thick cape connected to the hooded mask he wore
"Information. Hyperspace lanes. Republic patrol patterns. Things like that. That's all."
"Thanks. That's all we wanted." The female said, releasing Hondo. "We'll be going then"
Recovering from being dropped to the floor, Hondo looked up to be greeted with an empty door way. Hondo gingerly stood up and walked out and back into the lobby, whoever had threatened him had left in a hurry. Exiting the lobby, he was greeted with the same bustling market he had left. He pulled his data pad out of his pocket, considering sending a message out to the Black Sun, but choose not to, whoever those two thugs would send them again if they got word of the Black Sun being tipped off, they clearly were not Jedi, Jedi are never that brutal. While Hondo was contemplating the nature his encounters, his two assailants were entering their ship on the top of the complex. Silently taking off the ship left Taris' atmosphere behind before jumping into Hyperspace.
