For nearly two decades Dromund Kaas had produced starfighters, gunships, and repulsortanks for the Sith Empire. Intentionally separate from the larger shipyards and specialized in mass production of precise vehicle design, it'd been the backbone of military material despite the visibility of massive star destroyers. When the Empire splintered, the core Sith worlds split, dealing with their own internal civil wars or other issues.
After the ISC conflict, Imperial resources were drained. They needed the resources and ships the Dromund system provided, especially given the destruction or loss of other shipyards. Gone were the days of relying on swarms of fragile fighters backed by flying artillery platforms. Even Storm Squadron had largely remained part of the Empire and ISB owing to their imperialist bent.
Astrid suggested upwards to attempt a diplomatic retaking of Dromund Kaas. A military intervention risked huge losses to the fleet and ground forces against a suddenly coordinated force using the very craft they'd come to rely upon. Of course, Imperial diplomacy wasn't just talking. Blackmail was just as likely. So while Astrid would arrive as a representative, standing in for both former Sith and Imperial-aligned sides, the agent with her was there for more covert 'tweaking' of the facts.
She had an appointment in two hours. In the meantime, she went to a local teashop she'd frequented as an acolyte and waited for the ISB agent's arrival.
