Sood Zadra, UX-3 III
Soon Bardoon had bet on the winning side. More precisely, she hedged her bets both ways, but the way the odds worked out paid better. She'd retired from the Kuvexian Navy long before any hostilities with Yamatai, and, shrewdly, had divested her wealth from the Kuvexian financial system well before Yamatai had a plan to destroy the banking planets. The other nobles and businesspeople laughed behind her back, thinking she was crazy for exchanging her Kuvexian wealth for that of the Kikyō sectors' natives at rates they couldn't even believe she was offering. Yet the Baroness Bardoon knew even the greatest wave had to break eventually, no matter how far inland it reached, and roll back quietly into the sea.
Now, those nobles and magnates were penniless or dead, and she was the one laughing inside. On the outside, however, she was not. She needed more. Taking over as the top representative of Quallox Vaibal on planet UX-3 cemented her hold over the neutral spaceport of Sood Zadra, but her lifestyle needed more support. And it was not in a Kuvexian's nature to be satisfied with what one has. Surrounded on all sides by Yamatai, and the Kingdom in tatters, the Baroness was always the first to see the writing on the wall. Rather than be retaken by Yamatai as a Kuvexian holdout, she wanted the original plans for the neutral spaceport as a trade buffer to continue, so, she declared independence. Good for her. Now she needed a way to enforce it.
At the Laughing Nonapus, a cafe named after the nine-tentacled mollusk delicacy she so enjoyed, she sat drinking Yamataian tea, preparing to interview privateers to rebuild her trade empire and establish the security forces for her independent rule, with her gold-armored bodyguards and enforcers beside her and around the cafe.
