Once again, i do not own Star Wars, only the Esferan Empire and Lana (everything else belongs to George Lucas)
Cautious faces peered out from behind broken walls, each one dirt-smudged and cut somewhere. Lord Vader counted dozens of faces, but no one had stepped forward yet. It had been like this for the entire time the Imperial procession entered Genavi. Every single face was cautious and uninviting, retreating into shadows before the dark lord could have a proper look at them.
But there was one thing common with every being Vader had seen; they all had ebony hair and dark eyes; the typical description for any Esferan.
A gargantuan courtyard appeared as the procession turned a corner. In the centre was a broken fountain surrounded by crumbling mosaics that separated the fountain from the once-majestic palaces that surrounded the courtyard. This was De'Ek'Vel Square, the home of all 3 ruling families before the bombardment of Esfera.
Just then, a well-muscled man stepped out of the most structurally-sound building, flanked by an older man and a younger man, as well as a young woman, the latter barely older than 17.
"We welcome the Empire to Genavi and Esfera!" The muscled man greeted in a thick accent, causing his 'r's to roll like a rock tumbling down a rocky hill. "I am Reyond Velar, head of the House of Velar. This is Kurt Ek'la of the dwarf planet Hojen and Franc De'Reian of the moon Kiore, and my daughter Lana..."
Vader's eyes passed over the men to land on the young woman. She looked so very different to everyone else he had seen on Esfera; she had long fair hair that looked almost golden and crystal-clear blue eyes that shone in the high-noon sun. But there was something in the Esferan's pale face that reminded the dark lord of HER.
"... My humble home is available for any sort of talks between the New Order and our respectful Esferan Empire," Reyond Velar continued, completely oblivious to the dark lord's distraction. "Shall we proceed with why you are here on Esfera? Surely we have nothing to offer that would interest your great empire."
"That remains to be seen." Vader said as he stepped past the man into the decaying building...
