Cairo conference

[Omicron]

Cairo was at first sight station in middle of nowhere. Remote in the less understood and charted section of known space. Save The Order, guests were infrequent and the system itself was known to few: visited by fewer. Using shadow of Palmyra, an old barren rock in high orbit around Eridani black hole, as The Order had named it, Cairo station was logistic depot permitting The Order to project their power into the neighbouring Sigma systems.

Admiral Golanski prepared the only adequate place on the station that could house dignitaries of these he expected to come. It was never meant to serve as an embassy, however its proximity and relative calm made it just the right place. He had invited two people of power: Anna Heinrich of Red Hessians and Kara Yukari of the Guild. Expecting to hear about incoming flights at any point, he poured one of the finer examples of Corsair rum into his cup as he reviewed the contingencies for the worst that could happen with second Sigma war. Knowing almost legendary hate for Crete’s kind that these two may posses, he’d disguised his reserve. Displaying his prefferences in plain sight of them would had been… a wrong move, he had guessed.
