The Star Destroyer Hunter emerged into Realspace, its huge engines propelling the warship towards the planet Orius. Lara stood upon the bridge, gazing without interest at the spinning orb as its occupying Imperial squadron appeared from its horizon and floated into view with arrogant serenity. "Get me the captain," ordered Lara as she turned to regard the center of the bridge. The room's hologenerator activated, projecting a full body image of the Imperial squadron's captain. "Have you found the pirate ship?" asked the young girl tersely. "Yes, mistress. We detected the ship just as it reached the edge of Orius' gravity well and jumped to Hyperspace," replied the officer shamefully. "Hmm. Did you record its heading?" "Yes, mistress, I can have the data transmitted to your ship immediately," offered the captain. "Do so," acknowledged Lara. "I'm going down to the planet to do a little searching. Is the world secure?" "Affirmative. All major cities and ports are firmly under our control." "That will have to do. Dismissed," said the blonde girl while she motioned for the comm channel to be closed down. As the captain's image faded away, Lara walked across the catwalk that separated both bridge pits, her long, black robe trailing behind her as she moved resolutely towards the chamber's exit. The Imperial Fleet shot into normal space, spreading out to surround the world known as Coruscant. The Jedi Emhyr watched proudly as dozens of Star Destroyers and support vessels sailed forward towards the helpless target. Powerful satellite drones and weapons platforms lay dead in orbit around the former capital world, the defense net that once repelled entire armadas listless and decayed. "Anything reacting to our appearance?" asked Emhyr as he watched Coruscant from the bridge's observation windows. "Negative. The planet's in complete chaos. Large sections of the planetary power grid are down, garrison forces are under siege by gangs and rioting citizens, I don't think they even notice us," commented the tactical officer. "They will soon. Launch the Interceptors and troop shuttles, I want the Palace and key command and control facilities occupied immediately. Commanders are authorized to use whatever force necessary to take control of the capital," ordered Emhyr dispassionately. "Sending orders now," reported the chief comm tech. Emhyr clasped his hands behind his back, dark robes rustling as he watched clouds of TIE Interceptors and Imperial dropships emerge from their launch bays and descend like a plague of insects towards the dimly-lit planet below. "An Imperial envoy, I'm quite honored," greeted Brucer as he allowed Lara to enter the ornate public entrance to his mountain lair. The blonde girl motioned for her bodyguards to remain outside, then followed the chattering man to the richly appointed dining room, where scantily-clad, bow-adorned girls served exquisite wines and fine appetizers. "How can I help the Empire? I see that it has surged back to life once again, very commendable," remarked Brucer as he saluted the lovely girl with his wine glass. "The Empire is eternal. It may weaken from time to time, but it will never disappear, unlike the Republic," replied Lara before she drank deeply of her red wine. "I am here on important business for the new Emperor, Emhyr. He wants to find a young woman with some Jedi ability, a woman named Mara Jade. Perhaps you've seen her?" "Mara Jade? The former Emperor's Hand? She should be long dead by now, shouldn't she?" answered Brucer with a clever grin. Lara frowned at the fence's disguised denial, then set her glass firmly on the silk tablecloth. The Gauntlets of Vader rippled over her slim arms, the black leather vibrant with unholy life. "I won't go into the details, but Mara lives. She traveled into our time from the past, and has had several adventures, including being captured by the alien Sluggorn during their aborted invasion of the galaxy. She's taken up with a smuggler called Berg, and his ship was seen crashing on this dirtball several days ago by the Imperial task force in orbit. I know you have many dealings with smugglers and their ilk, I'd like you to tell me where Captain Berg has gone," asked Lara with a chilling smile. "Information doesn't come cheap," replied Brucer as he eyed the young girl speculatively. "I don't have time to haggle. Name your price and it shall be paid." "A few hours with you will suffice," said the man while he licked his lips in anticipation. "Fine," agreed Lara as she stood up, then waited for her host to lead the way. Brucer rose quickly to his feet, then led the blonde girl up several levels to his master bedroom. The bed chamber itself was huge, with an enormous circular bed draped with silk and fine linens. The Gauntlets began to itch with excitement, the leather taut over Lara's flesh as she moved to the foot of the bed and smoothly removed her robe, revealing her slim, naked body beneath. Brucer went to a small bar, pouring a stiff drink and gulping it greedily as he watched the girl climb onto the soft mattress and stretch out with feline grace, her pale arms and legs warm and inviting. The fence set his glass down unsteadily, then walked to the bed, unzipping his pants as he watched Lara roll across the smooth sheets. The blonde girl halted her motion, crawling forward with burning blue eyes as she watched the man grab his penis and release it from his clothing. Lara knelt before Brucer, taking his hardening cock with both of her hands and sucking lightly on the head with her warm, red lips. The tall man groaned with pleasure as Lara licked along the shaft of his cock, her lips caressing his throbbing meat as her tongue dripped saliva across the length of his rod. Lara's head moved under the man's tool, her nose nestled in his pubic hair as she sucked loudly on his dangling balls. Brucer closed his eyes with ecstasy, running his hands though the naked girl's thick, blonde hair and down her bare back. Lara licked her way back to the tip of Brucer's cock, then slid the member into her mouth, forcing it deeply down her tight throat as her red lips rubbed across its engorged surface. The thin man moaned loudly, his hips thrusting forward as he rammed his tool deep into the girl's oral orifice. Lara grasped Brucer's waist, pumping her face back and forth as she sucked energetically on the man's pole. The fence fucked the naked girl's mouth for several minutes, then removed his slick cock from her soft lips. He pushed Lara back onto the bed, then spread apart her slim legs and rubbed his rock-hard tool across her shaved pussy. Lara moaned softly, begging the man with her eyes to fuck her cunt hard. Brucer thrust his cock without warning into the blonde girl's vagina, pushing the pulsing member deep into her warm belly. Lara cried out with pleasure, reaching over her head with both hands to grasp at the sheets as she pumped her crotch against Brucer's stabbing tool. Brucer held both of Lara's legs against his chest, licking her ankles and sucking on her toes as he pumped his meat into her clenching pussy. The blonde girl's breasts bobbed back and forth in rhythm to her erotic motions, she took them in her small hands, squeezing the soft mounds of flesh, then licking her pink nipples until they were hard with lust. Brucer rammed his cock into the girl's yielding cunt until his balls slammed against her smooth, firm ass. Lara panted as she felt the hardened pole pierce far into her stomach, pressing against her g-spot until her body trembled with a building orgasm. Brucer's thrusts grew harder, more frantic as his own orgasm grew, he rubbed his cheek against Lara's soft, silky leg while he pounded his cock into the prone girl's glistening cunt. With a loud grunt, Brucer shot his wad into Lara's empty belly, his legs growing limp as the naked girl screamed with her own intense orgasm. The Gauntlets of Vader shimmered like churning oil, the garments bursting with Dark power as they absorbed the lust and eroticism dripping from the two humans. Lara gasped as her mind overflowed with the Dark Side, she pulled her legs away from Brucer, then reached out with her gloved hands to grasp the fence's head. Brucer jerked abruptly, his body limp as Lara blasted into his mind and watched how he spanked and used Mara Jade's bound body. The naked girl learned everything about Berg's deal with Brucer, what they traded, what repairs were done, even the technical specs of the Lady Ravager that Brucer had briefly studied. The final piece was the engine emission frequency that the Ravager emitted when it jumped to Lightspeed and when it flew in normal space. Lara let Brucer's head go, which allowed the trembling male body to fall to the floor in a pathetic heap. The sweaty, blonde girl slid from the disheveled bed, then draped on her black robe calmly. She looked at the shivering, drooling man, then she looked down at her black gloves that drank the light around them ravenously. Reaching out with her right hand, Lara clenched a fist, observing as Brucer grasped his throat and began choking loudly. Lara tightened her hand, her wet lips curving into a cruel smile as she used the Force to choke the fence. Brucer writhed on the floor, his face turning an ugly blue before his neck snapped like a twig, ending his spasms abruptly. Lara kissed her right, gloved hand lovingly, then swept out of the brightly-lit room in a swirl of black robe.
