High Prophet Crozeus

The shipyards of DuroProphet Crozeus walked through the streets of Duro's capital city. After Lord Prognie had been called away on urgent business during their meeting, Crozeus had been searching for an adequate shipbuilder to construct the ship he was hoping for, and after Mon Calamari, Duro was his best bet.
He looked up at the imposing goverment structure, standing out from the others on the skyline, and headed inside. He walked to the receptionist, a human female, and asked if he could book a meeting with the planet's Moff, Guardsman and Sith Master, Darth Caligulae.
The receptionist smiled and waved a hand. "Certainly sir, go right on through. Moff Caligulae will be with you in a few moments."
Crozeus nodded his thanks and proceeded to the office. He entered, it was empty, and stood around, unsure whether to sit or not as he waited for Darth Caligulae.

The communicator on Darth Caligulae's desk beeped. It was the receptionist. "Sir, Prophet Crozeus is here to see you." She said. There was silence for a few seconds and then a reply. "Alright, send him in."
Caligulae sat and waited for the prophet to come in.

The office door slid open and Crozeus entered, glancing over the various trinkets the Sith had collected. He sat in front of Caligulae's desk and nodded cordially in greeting.
"Darth Caligulae. A pleasure it is."

Darth Caligulae bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet you too, Prophet Crozeus." He said "Please, do take a seat." He waited for the other sith to sit, then sat himself. "Now, what was it you wanted to speak to me about?" He asked, curious as to what had brought the prophet to his office on Duro.

Crozeus smiled as he settled himself. "Well you see, Moff Caligulae, what business I bring to you is strictly confidential, and before I reveal more I need to know that you will guarantee that confidentiality." He wondered how Caligulae would react. Guardsmen were renowned for differentiating behaviour.

"You have my word that our business shall remain confidential." Caligulae replied. He liked to keep Guard matters out of his Moffdom matters, since he liked to make his decisions independently and impartially. "Now, how may i help you?"

Blunt and to the point. Wonderful, Crozeus thought. He was tired of petty word-play and decorum.
He nodded. It was clear that the Moff would keep his word.
"Well, Darth Caligulae, I have need of a ship to be constructed, to exact specifications. From what I understand, the shipbuilders of Duro are among the best in the galaxy. I believe they would be capable of producing an advanced version of the MC80 Cruiser, commonly known as the Mon Calamari Cruiser?"
|
Darth Caligulae
|
"Yes, I believe my builders would be able to construct such a ship. But what would be it's purpose, if you don't mind me asking?" Caligulae was sure the shipyards of Duro could handle the construction of such a ship, but he was still curious about what would the ship's purpose be.

"Wonderful. I will personally fund every aspect of it." Crozeus withdrew his datapad and handed it over. "The specifications are on here. The reasoning, is to use the craft as a means of non-Imperial identified transport to hunt down a band of Jedi. When the task is complete it will be added to the Military fleets."
|

Darth Caligulae analised the specifications for a few moments. "Very well, I will have the specifications sent to the chief engineers of the shipyard and have them start working on it right away." Caligulae said, setting the datacard down on the desk. "Is there anything else i might help you with?"
|
High Prophet Crozeus

Crozeus almost laughed at how easy it was. Prognie had put up much more of a defense. "Thank you, Moff Caligulae, you have been most co-operative."
He supposed Prognie was simply being his usual self. "I will return to Kuat. Contact me when the construction is complete and I will return with the necessary funds."
He stood and prepared to leave.
|
Darth Caligulae
|
Darth Caligulae stood and showed the Prophet the door. "I will monitor the progress of this ship myself and inform you when your ship is completed." With that, Caligulae bowed and went back to his desk, to deal with other matters.
