As Jaray tucks his datapad inside his robes, he bobs his head at Karr's comment on background checks. "Knowledge is power." Following the reference to Nate, Jaray ruffles the feathers on his head. "Proof that even the simplest exterior may hide extraordinary things."
At Juljosi's direct questioning, the small Mrlssi parts his beak again in a smile. "Such an inquisitive mind! You must have made your teachers proud. Perhaps a brief history lesson will help expound upon our mission. To outside eyes, the Tapani Sector has been wealthy, powerful, and unified, able to integrate itself into each succeeding galactic government with a minimum of fuss. However, in the shadows of the Houses lies intrigue that would have made the late Emperor Palpatine blush. There are 7 major Houses in the Tapani Sector, with over 300 smaller Houses beneath them. A twisted web of alliances, espionage, and trade agreements binds them together in some of the most unlikely fashions. My Lord Cadriaan is highly supportive of the Fels, but even our alliances with House Pelagia and the Freeworlds does nothing to incline them kindly toward the same. And with House Mettici in support of the Sith and making statements of no-confidence against the Fels, it has left many of the Houses in a neutral state. That is where we come in. Each of you have been selected to fulfill a role at the diplomatic table.
I represent House Cadriaan during the negotiations, giving Empress Fel's diplomat useful information during the conferences.
Master Karr represents successful negotiation with the Jedi Order, allies that the Fels have begun to actively court to bolster the Imperial Knights.
Juljosi not only represents the Fel military, but your personal history shows the determination that drives the Empress herself. The Tapani Houses need to be shown that the Fels are not weak, and thus as a woman and a survivor, you represent the Empress herself to some degree.
The Imperial Knight that will join us later is the Empress's diplomat, and he will plead the cause of the Fels to the Tapani Houses.
Nate is a wild card. Like Master Karr, I could only find so much information on him. All I know is that he is allied with the Imperial Knights, and that his unusual powers could prove useful when we negotiate.
As for the ship, I warned the Empress that the Tapani Sector can be a dangerous place, especially in this time of turmoil. Apparently, she took me at my word."
