FAKE HOLOCRON
The End of the Empire's Holocron ruse
The End of the Empire's Holocron ruse
As an Imperial Knight, Vena Lann had tracked a holocron to Corvus where she and her partner took down a former Sith by the name of Anders Drast. Then, rather impulsively, she had gone and tracked another one alone to Vjun. She had been lured into a trap by the Dark Lord herself. Having proven her worth, she was now a member of the Sith Order and allowed to further make herself useful by applying her imperial training as a member of the Sith Inquisition.
Her first order of business was to make and end to the Holocron trap set up by the Imperial Security Bureau. They had copied the appearance of actual holocrons, placed trackers inside and floated the rumor of their existence to lure the Sith out of hiding long enough to claim it and -being unable to open it immediately with the Force- take it back to whatever the Sith used as a hideout. For some time this wasn't an issue, after all, the Sith were scattered and they could only be tracked down to the individuals that had fallen into such an obvious trap. They had deserved to die. Now, with the reclamation of Fortress Vader, the risk of one of these trackers getting to Mustafar was considered to be too great.
But no one said it wasn't a good thing to strike two birds with one stone. Vena was still an Imperial Knight and as such had access to the Holocron trackers. She knew one was on the move and that two Imperial Knights had been dispatched to track it down. She knew them, too, for they had fought side-by-side in the defense of the Imperial Knights Castle on Raxus when it had come under attack from insurgents. One was a human, Hanako Watson, and the other Catharese, Ria Cann. They had both been a year ahead of her at the Sith Academy before Altaïr Din's address.
The Sith they were tracking was irrelevant. The Inquistion had a file on him, but it might as well have erased it for lack of potential. He was not allowed to be let alive, either.
So, with a black cloak over her set of Imperial Knight armor and the hood drawn over her head to prevent identification, Vena watched the blip on her personav move slowly across the streets of Hollastin. The overcrowded small planet was a trading hub one could easily disappear on and that had clearly been the Sith's plan, which was a good one if he wasn't dragging a long a tracker in the disguise of a holocron. "He's close," Vena told the fellow inquisitor standing at her side, "but no sign of the knights yet."
