Prologue

Cikatro Vizago was having a frustrating day when it came to leading his criminal organization up and running without getting caught by the Imperials. He received reports of the shipments that was supposed to go a buyer in Utapau were ship back to his base of operation in Tarkintown. The Devaronian crime lord will later learned the Imperial presence on Garel has increase the level of inspection in all shipments coming in or out of the hangers in Garel to deem legal or not.

He was not pleased with the news.

Now the crime lord has to deal with the upset buyer connected through the holoprojector inside his office and listen to the annoying rambles of the short Sugi on the end.

"You'd promised me the shipments for my shop will arrive at Utapau without any problems! But now you tell me it won't come due to increase inspections from the Imperial Army!" The Sugi shouted at the male Devaronian, "You do realize I have customers waiting on those shipments to buy and I had to tell them that there is a delay and they've must come back next time!"

"Do not worry my friend. I'll make sure the shipments will be delivered to your shop once I find a crew to transport it."

"Hmph! You'd better because I've paid a good amount of credits to buy those shipments from you." The Sugi said, "Make sure it comes to my shop in one piece or else."

"You have my word." Vizago promised.

"I'll be waiting," The Sugi answered, "Don't make me regret this decision." The transmission on the Holoprojector was turned off.

Vizago leaned back against his chair, taken in a deep breath and start forming a plan on how to get the shipments to his buyer without getting it captured by the Galactic Empire. He did thought about the Lothal Rebels doing the job for him; the problem was, he doesn't know where they are right now or when will they come back to Lothal. Before he can think of other ideas, there was a knock on his door.

"Who is it?"

"Sir, it's me; you're assistant Marah." A woman answered through the door. "There is something very important that might interest you, sir. May I come in?"

Vizago thought for a moment before answering, "You may come in."

The door to his office was open and came inside was an attractive human woman dressed in a green suit, black heels, brown hair tied in a bun, and brown eyes looking through her glasses. Vizago was very fortune to have Marah as his assistant to help operate the merchandise stolen from the Galactic Empire and sell them to potential buyers for the Broken Horn Syndicate.

Before coming to work for him, Mara used to work as a secretary in Lothal's Imperial Headquarters but was fired after she spurns advances made by Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko. True to Commandant Aresko's nature, the pale man spread nasty rumors of Marah sleeping with high-ranking men around Imperial HQ; this rumor led her to be fired from her job and left a bitter resentment towards the Galactic Empire. With the knowledge of how things operate inside Imperial HQ, Vizago's criminal syndicate is able to avoid getting discovered and stay hidden in the shadows, all thanks to his faithful assistant.

"What is this very important thing you want tell me, my good friend?" Vizago asked.

Marah clears her throat before answering, "Just right now, we've got a woman travel from Capital City arrived in Tarkintown on an important assignment and requested a meeting with you in person."

"Did you and the droids have her search for anything suspicious that might link her as an Imperial spy?" Being the leader of a criminal syndicate one must always had to be careful on meeting people in person since the Imperial Headquarters on Lothal will do anything to weed out any rebellion or crime organization that posed a threat to them by sending in spies to help with the job.

"Yes, we did, sir." Marah nodded, "She came out clean. There is nothing that links her as a spy working for Imperial HQ."

"That is good to know." Vizago said, "So, where is this woman right now?"

"She is waiting outside of our base; I'd told her to stay put before she can meet with you."

"Excellent. Now, before I can meet with our mysterious visitor, what is this request she wants from me?"
