Un-named Protoplanetary System
The Grand Moff looked out from the chair on the bridge of the Iron Fist, deep within this nebula there were protoplanets beginning to form, and perhaps in a few more million years there would be a perfectly functioning star system serving some far flung empire. Laughing to himself, "This galaxy is always in the middle of some type of Star Wars." he heard the foot steps approach of Director Savess, one of the few Kuati scientists that had taken up his lucrative job offer. She had been that would oversee this installation being built. "Director," smiled the moff. "I presume you have good news."
The woman scoffed, "Hardly. This need for security is nonsense, and hiding not one but several Imperial Scientific Bureaus inside an asteroid field is folly?"
Zsinj waved his hand dismissively, "Once the gravity generators are installed, it will be of little importance. Sooner still the quarters and labs will be built." he looked to the Director, as she tucked a loose strand of her white hair behind her ear. "With one installation complete, forces are moving in. Clearing out mynocks and Ice worms were the most difficult. All of the interesting engineering problems have been solved."
"Hence why you cannibalized two Interdictors, and stripped 2 Victories of their Drive systems?" the blithe director shrugged, thankfully she was too smart to be wasting time on KP duty. "Easiest way to bring things in, without a bunch of beacons. Few people are insane enough to fly into a Protoplanetary system, building in it was an interesting challenge. Setting a system for shipment and delivery was merely a question of mathematics, vector analysis, and precision."
Zsinj nodded, it was a more interesting challenge than the Eclipse at least, Savess was bored out of her mind on that proejct. "Good, inform me of any materials or equipment you need. Anything else Director?"
"A question." said the Director, "Where'd you get the idea for this?"
Zsinj regarded her, the woman had demonstrated loyalty, and as long as he provided her with challenging projects she would remain in his employ, "I was reviewing files in the Imperial Archives. The late Grand Moff Tarkin petitioned the Emperor to build an installation in the Maw." he shook his head, only Tarkin would even get such a plan before the Emperor, "While I doubt it was ever built, or even planned beyond preliminary stages. The idea was captivating." He walked towards the window looking out at the opaque nebula, far off he could see a rocky planetoid pass. Was there an Imperial Installation under there in an Ice worm cave? "An Imperial Research Center, where there were no restrictions on development, total security, and no outside distractions." he looked back at the Director, "although I don't have Tarkin's penchant for superweapons. Superweapons just put a bigger bullseye on you, and it's more likely that someone will overlook a meter wide vent that goes straight into the reactor." Zsinj smiled
Savess frowned... No Imperial Engineer had lived down THAT particular embarrassment, and there was relief when Director Galen's sabotage was discovered. In short the new motto of the Engineering Corps was, "Keep it Simple, Stupid". "Yes, Grand Moff. My shuttle will depart within the hour to the Prospero Installation. We will look forward to your next inspection." and with that she turned and left.
Zsinj merely nodded looking back out. Soon his projects would bear fruit.
