JULIA HIPORI, CEO, DEAD IN 'TARGETED ATTACK' AT HEART OF THE EMPIRES DEFENSIVE INDUSTRY
Reknowned CEO, Julia Hipori has been confirmed dead in a 'targeted terror attack' directed at the Imperial defensive industry, Imperial sources have confirmed. The attack, which is the latest in a slue of...
Julia let out a small yelp as she was thrown to the floor of the security room. She rolled over, trying to see what was going on - but it was all happening too fast.
Trying to regain her footing, she watched as the door closed, but not before a thermal detonator was cast into the room.
”F-”...
She kept as still as she could as she was moved from the elebator and to the cargo level floor. With a ligtsaber at her neck, there was not exactly much she could do that would end her life prematurely. Soon, she was shunted to the floor again, and picked herself pack up gingerly.
Her eyes...
She didn't like feeling powerless. At the mercy of a mad force user was not how she had seen today going. Julia knew her aides would expect her soon - she also guessed Roman had probably worked that out as well.
Julia had to think fast.
There was no way she could fight the man and win. She...
There was no way she could have seen the attack coming.
Julia was thrown back against the 'wall' of the elevator, she screamed as the lightsaber sliced through her arm, severing it at the elbow. The pain was enormous - and she nearly blacked out.
Perhaps it was spite that stopped her.
She...
For God's sake.
This man was persistent if nothing else. She waved her guards away. If he had something to say, she may as well let him say it. She nodded as he stepped into the elevator, leaving her guards outside as she pressed the button to send them to the 50th floor.
"You're persistent, I...
Close protection?
She didn't need the assistance of some Imperial Knight to keep her safe. Julia had been through worse than some minor scuffle with a Cartel, and she was still here. She shook her head - here in an Imperial Corporate Authority, she held the power. "I don't need your protection...
"I'm busy, make it quick." Julia wasn't lying. Since heading back to Raxus it had been nothing but meeting after meeting. The Imperial war effort demanded her full attention, as the CEO of one of the largest Imperial Companies inside their space, she had a considerable part ot play in ensuring...
”Grow production and integrate it with our current distribution channels.” Julia replied flatly. She was getting the impression that Ceris was not overly committed to the idea of selling, despite Julia's own belief that it would be to the New Alderaanian's benefit to do so. The opportunity to...
Julia looked the cyborg up and down as he stepped into her field of vision, waving her bodyguard droid back as it tensed up. Indeed, the cybernetic man was a sight to behold, commanding a fearsome presence over the area. Unfortunately for all of them, she couldn't understand sign language, which...
It was good to get out of Core.
Julia had long stopped considering Coruscant with that moniker; these days Raxus held the crown in her eyes. As CEO of one of the premier businesses in Imperial Space, she felt something of a moral obligation to hype up her new homeworld after all. Yet such a...
Julia shook her head.
"No." She remained impassive as she explained her reasoning for turning down the deal as it stood and proposed her alternative "I can give you access to the largest and fastest growing contiguous market in the known galaxy." she confirmed, unwilling to compromise on her...
She was keen to get to the point of their discussion, and Julia was concerned already that the heiress would try and obfuscate if pushed too quickly. In her experience, the Corporate world was all-to-often cluttered with those who had fallen into money and now sought to spend it. People like...
She didn't look up as her contact came and sat down, only doing so when the 'gift' was offered. Gently, Julia shook her head "My apologies, I cannot take 'gifts', no matter how well intended, from foreign politicians." she was reasonably curt but tried to keep a polite tone to her manner "As the...
It was night on Raxus as Julia's speeder darted across the skyline of the planet's capital. Escorted by four probe droids, the luxury speeder car cut a clear line toward their meeting place, a park and restaurant in the city's upper levels. Stepping out of the speeder, she was accompanied by an...
The made by the Empire offer was a generous one - a chance to head up her own Corporation, and out of the shadow of Blackwell. Of course, she had concerns about the Emperor holding such a large amount of sway over the firm itself, but was that really any different to her current arrangement...
TShe studied Newton has he spoke, and listened as Emryc gave his reply. His tone confirmed her suspicions - something didn't add up here.
Julia drummed the fingers of her right hand on the tabletop. If Newton was hiding something, he was placing them at risk. She didn't like risks.
"I have...
"If that is your wish, your Majesty." she replied cooly as the Emperor responded to her directly. She had not, truth be told, expected such a swift acceptance of the recommendation by the Emperor, but it was refreshing to see that her words carried weight even here.
But, the plan she had...
Tensions had been somewhat high in the Corporate world since the news broke.
Rumours of data plagues would do that.
So would allegations of sabotage and suggestions of more from significant players.
Therefore Julia and the board had moved swiftly to call a meeting and get to the bottom of...
She’d heard a fair amount about Voren Makr.
Everyone in her world had. The man was something of a legend - a fast climber who went from working for Czerka to owning the corporation, expanding it from a failing mining firm to one of the largest economic powerhouses in the galaxy.
It was...
