Korriban's space port vibrates beneath departing engines as Zuruk Syn reaches the boarding concourse. Beyond the transparisteel, the Outer Rim transport waits, engines already warming.
A booking console flashes red beside the gangway. Other passengers cluster behind the security line while crew members repeatedly glance toward the closing departure window.
Captain Veyra
Hold that reservation. Yavin IV is a three-day hyperspace run, and I will not carry an unidentified Sith beyond the Rim.
Captain Veyra
State your purpose, present valid credentials, or explain why the manifest should list you as anything other than a security risk.
Captain Veyra steps between Zuruk and the gangway, one hand near her sidearm. The port authority seal on her coat marks her as both pilot and final boarding authority.
Port Authority Clerk
Captain, the departure slot closes in four minutes. Either clear him now or cancel the berth and absorb the fuel penalty.
Captain Veyra
Your answer, traveler. The ship leaves with or without you.

“I state my purpose and ask to board for Yavin IV. "Captain, while my upbringing is certainly Sith, my intentions are purely academic. I am studying the fallen Infinite Empire and my studies lead me to Yavin IV as a repository for knowledge about the Rakatan people."”
SUCCESS (Superb Willpower, rolled +0)
Zuruk Syn
Captain, while my upbringing is certainly Sith, my intentions are purely academic. I study the fallen Infinite Empire, and my research leads to Yavin IV as a repository of Rakatan knowledge.
Captain Veyra
He chooses scholarship over intimidation. That makes him either disciplined or exceptionally dangerous.
Captain Veyra
Academic purpose accepted, traveler. Keep your credentials ready, obey shipboard restrictions, and do not turn my vessel into an archaeological dispute.
Veyra scans Zuruk's identification and enters an authorization code. The console shifts from red to green, confirming his berth and clearing the gangway.
Port Authority Clerk
Reservation amended and passenger verified. Captain, the departure slot remains yours. Board now.
Captain Veyra
You have passage to Yavin IV. Once aboard, report to the purser for a cabin assignment and research declaration.
The gangway extends with a hydraulic hiss. Behind Zuruk, Korriban's red dust hangs beyond the transparisteel; ahead, the transport's engines deepen toward departure.
