Tyro had lived on Ure for 4 years now and in that time he had come to know it like the back of his hand. Ure was a colossal metropolis that had 8 tiers, the bottom 3 where the industrial district, the 4 above that where houses and mansions that got plusher and bigger as you went up and the top tier was the government tier that had the Police HQ and the mayors house. The commercial area was actually a 2 tiered city located on a island a mile away from the main city that was connected with a bridge.
Ure was once the capital of olio the, planet it was located on but since the parliament had been built in kirovan which was small with only 3 tiers in fact it was a quiet suburban town, you could tell it was suburban because all the noisy industrial and commercial areas where single tiers that surrounded kirovan.
Tyro remembered watching holotapes with his father from when Ure was a tiny fishing town; it was only a single tier, smaller than the commercial district of today's Ure.
Tyro went into his apartment on Tier 5 and had a drink before looking out of his window at the Hoglapas Ocean which covered most of Olio, he had been across the Ocean which he had hated because of the water, years of industry had polluted the water and melted the ice caps which is why today Olio has only a few islands left there is now new, cleaner industry that is heavy but recycles the smoke and ash to make power. He Remembered falling in at one point and was overcome by the taste of petrol which has ran out all over Tau Ceti because years of uncontrolled usage of it.
He went t bed after and fell asleep instantly
Next day he woke up early (about 5:00AM) and went to his office which was a circle, white room crowded with books and desks and the like. This is where he managed his empire along with 50 colleagues. He sat down and began typing on his holo computer.
As he was working he kept noticing movement in the shadows, he tried to ignore it but eventually he got a Blaster Pistol and a torch to see what was there. He approached the movement and readied his blaster. Before he could shout he was knocked out with chloroform and dragged to a speeder.
Hour's later tyro woke in a dark, small room with a bad headache and the faint smell of bleach; he thought it was his room, until a large man dressed in a GA officer uniform (a lieutenant General Tyro knew by his uniform).
He was surrounded
By many privates (don't makes jokes about that)
