The sun was shining bright as Yarcov made his way through the slums of Mal Ethon City. All things considered, he knew he was lucky to be here. He was here to meet his informant.
It all was illegal activity, he knew, especially considering who Kwevron's new masters were. But none of it mattered right now.
The Pentastar Alignment had stationed an old Dreadnought Heavy Cruiser over the capital, and he could see it's shadow even now slowly moving over the buildings like a black cloud. It had been there for over a month, and if it was there another month the planet would lose it's opportunity to ship out it's exports. Something had to be done. This deserved resistance.
He knocked on the heavy door three times in rhythm, according to the code.
The door immediately cracked open and the Ugnaught broker shot out.
"Word on the street is some new Imp officer is running things up there now." Porly squealed, casting a nervous glance around. "I only managed to get this info off a slicer down at the spaceport after he was drunk enough."
"The Kwevron Resistance thanks you." Yarcov said, his mind already in motion. A new Imp officer? That explained some things.
"PA or not, they're still Imps." Porly grunted. "Especially after Entralla. The Corpos and central gov may kiss up to them but I sure won't."
The dark shadow of the dreadnought loomed overhead.
"Any idea who this new Imp is?" Yarcov asked as he slid the data disk into his bag. "The New Republic offers bounties nowadays for some of them."
Porly waved his hand.
"NR won't touch the Alignment. At least not yet. Besides, from what I've heard and read this guy isn't the type to be caught unawares."
"Well what's his name?"
Porly shrugged his stumpy shoulders.
"Orkzyd or something like that."
Yarcov's vision blurred as all his hearing left him. Magnus Orkzyd had joined Pentastar? Surely even they knew of all he was capable of.
"You alright there?"
Yarcov's eyes snapped up. He was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't even noticed the security capo standing in front of him. Porly now stared warily from the basement window up at him.
"Everything is good officer." He said, throwing on a hopefully convincing smile. "Just remembering old times.:
"Well please get a move on." The man growled. "We're on the hunt for insurgents. They crawl like rats around here. Its not safe."
Yarcov breathed a sigh of relief as he stumbled down the cobblestone stairs, in wonder of what he had just all learned.
Magnus Orkzyd. The Scourge of Haman Minor. Widely famed for his exploits and feared by all he exploited.
Kwevron was in very grave danger if he had been given charge of anything remotely close to it.
Yarcov had to tell the others. He had to tell the Resistance.

Now this is storytelling! 👍
I really like the change of perspective here.
Being something of a storyteller myself, I really enjoy that you are not only the most ambitious shipyard around now, but also develop a nice arc around your namesake 😉
Looking forward to the next chapters around the PA and the resistance they face.
Btw, the scenes are nicely immersive and the vibe of these narrow streets is conveyed well.
