"This is the Bastion. It was once the flagship of the Imperial Garrison here in the Caelus System. Following the events of the Galactic Concordance, the Caelus System announced its independence after a short, but fierce skirmish, with other remnants of the Empire. Those remnants are believed to have been involved in helping build what would eventually be the First Order."

Rian said nothing, listening to the explanation closely.

"Those that had survived the planetfall of the Bastion were sentenced to salvage any usable parts from the Star Destroyer. However, over the last couple of years, Caelus Security has noticed a black market flourishing with both items going in and out of the Bastion. Items that may be used to allow the Bastion to get skyborn again."

THE BASTION

"The former flagship of the Imperial Garrison in the Caelus System has fallen into the hands of the terrorists. While at first the initial attacks by Vishes seemed to be meant to only destabilize the system, it is now clear there was more to them.

With the help of a flourishing black market located aboard the stranded Star Destroyer that was stranded on Orth, Vishes is about to get the Bastion skyborn again.

Astor Ky'Lian, who now knows about the true origins of the Clan, has once more asked the members of the Clan for help in this dark hour in exchange for keeping the fact they are Force-users a secret.
