Bakura/Salis D'aar Slums
15:22 local time
The infamous Senator, Princess, and eventually General of two organizations, Leia Organa, once famously spoke highly of Bakura as "a second Alderaan". Despite having an impressive hatred and prohibition against droids, Bakura could almost be seen as a type of paradise on the backside of the Galaxy. But just like every bright and golden paradise in the galaxy, Bakura also had its darker side.
And in this case, that darker side was the slums of the planet's capital.
Arden's ship was parked safely on a landing pad in the space port. His droid was left on the ship, but that was nothing new for him. There was talk in the underbelly of the galaxy of some very old and very sought after tech surfacing on the black market. Apparently it was not only from during the Galactic Civil War, but also from Mandalorian origin. A tag like that would send any collector and numerous other types of colourful characters head over heals to get their hands on it. It was also likely to attract the unwanted attention of the rightful owners of those artifacts.
Arden wasn't known for being a good person at all. One might even assume that he was there to get the items for his own personal exploits. If people wanted to believe that, they could do so. But underneath the cold and heartless exterior was a closely guarded love for his own people.
He was seated at a small noodle bar counter built into a shack. A mug of some awful local drink sat in front of him with a straw reaching in underneath his helmet. His armour had drawn many looks. Usually it would be a bad thing. But today he blended in quite well with other outlanders that came to the planet in search of this valuable collection. The drink was finally done and he left the noodle bar, leaving a few credits alongside his drink. He tugged at his jacket over his armour and adjusted his holsters. He knew the auction's general area. But he still needed to find the specific location and time it was going to go down. Apparently he still had a day or two, but he still needed to get some intel on the area.
He started to wander the area, keeping an eye out for anything that seemed capable of pointing him in the right direction...
