[O12 - Gyndine - NR3F] Nyxcrest Estate

At Nyxcrest Estate, as Gyndine celebrates its liberation, New Republic intelligence moves quietly among the elite. Observing old power brokers, meeting newly emerged political leaders, and formalizing control over the recovered Imperial coaxium reserves that will help secure the planet’s future.

The estate, famed for its rare Nyx Berries, fruit that thrived only in Gyndine’s brutal climate, had long been the playground of the planet’s upper class. Deals were struck here over tradition-laden gatherings, where the wealthy indulged in their cheesy traditions.

“Strange, isn’t it?” one guest murmured, swirling a glass of deep amber Nyxwine. “A few weeks ago, this estate served officers of the Empire. Today… we toast the New Republic.”
Laughter drifted across the courtyard, mingling with polite nods and the soft clink of glassware. To any casual observer, it was simply another celebration of the rare Frost Nyx harvest—nothing more.

Phoenix Squadron lingered along the terrace edge, keeping watch while blending in just enough to avoid notice.

Tallie held up a pale green wedge of cheese, turning it in the light. "This is the famous Gyndine cheese, right?"
Owen gave a quiet smirk. "Yeah. And you know what they say, the greener the cheese, the tastier it is."

Phoenix Squadron, stationed on Gyndine throughout the crisis, had shifted from covert action to post-liberation intelligence work. Through their underground resistance contacts, they arranged a discreet exchange: credits for the coaxium confiscated from the hidden Imperial docks during the occupation. Once the shipment reached New Republic hands, they could finally confirm the truth—the real reason the Empire had clung so desperately to Gyndine.
