Casino Vaults
Canto Casino
Cantonica System — Corporate Sector
40 ABY

The main vault complex of Canto Bight's biggest casino had been commandeered as a command center for the disparate Brotherhood forces that had been forced to work together in defending themselves. The structure, buried below the casino itself, had proven highly resilient to the attacks launched against it. It had obviously been designed to defend the riches within, with reinforced duracrete and thick blast doors throughout. The only problem, of course, is that it was almost as good at keeping things inside as it was keeping them out. If the Consuls were not careful, the vault would become a tomb.

The lights flickered and the walls shivered again in response to artillery fire from outside the city, dust and duracrete powder raining down on the occupants. The fire was getting closer and was seemingly falling near them with greater frequency. The forces of the Clans within the city had been holding their own, but it was obvious that they could not hold out forever.

"My reinforcements are so close," DarkHawk spat, shaking his head. "If it weren't for this kriffing jamming!"

"As you've said," Appius grumbled from under his helmet. "And if wishes were banthas, beggars would ride."

"Now, now, gentlebeings," Revak said from where he stood at the command console that had been erected. "Snapping at one another does nothing to improve our situation."

"The Jedi's answer to everything," Korvis scoffed. "Tranquility."

"It serves us well," Revak replied. "You should try it sometime."

"It is not the way," Appius retorted.

Before the irritated Consuls could escalate their argument further, a commotion at the other end of the room attracted their attention. Kamjin strode into the room with several soldiers in tow, and what looked like a prisoner between them. The man wore Plagueis armor, and his arms were locked behind his back by a set of very large stuncuffs. A shock collar was locked around his neck and four catch poles were attached around its circumference, each held by one of the guards. But, the most striking thing about him was his face.

His combat helmet had been removed, and he was obviously human. It was the crystals that protruded from his skin at regular intervals, especially along his brows, that spoke to exactly what he was.

"An Ascendant Trooper!" DarkHawk exclaimed, springing from his seat.

"Indeed," Kamjin confirmed. "There had been some scattered reports from some of the members of my delegation involved in the fighting, but nothing had been confirmed. I wanted to see for myself, and so I found this."

Once again, I want to thank my fellow Consuls for helping put together this event, and a special thanks to the Council for coming and playing in Pro Bowl VI as well. Don't miss the final results, which can be found here. And now, without further ado...
