Sable had been sent down to the royal planet of Panatha as the Jedi's neutral party, to assist the higher ranking Alric, and the Jedi guest Emmalia of Panatha. Being the only human here was important, because someone like Alric would have a personal agenda here perhaps; but having Alric here was also important because he would understand his people's needs the best too.
As it stood, King Danzala was on the throne, and Emma's memory was very foggy as to what happened.

There was rumors about that a 'Jedi Assassin' was coming to speak with the king, and under the guise of an investigation from the Republic that perhaps it was the Jedi's way of curving Panatha. They at least had the honor of sending one of their own kind, though the offworlder had not grown up on Panatha, so there was still some outrage that one of such low birth would even be allowed into the palace.
Jedi Master Alric had heard all these before, though being a 'Jedi Assassin' was a new one for him. Perhaps the Jedi weren't thought of highly on this planet and perhaps for good reason. The force was strong in the bloodline of the King's and with each successive King things got worse until Danzala.... or at least that's what the propaganda would have you believe. He had picked up about talk of 'freedom fighters' but he knew one man's freedom fighters was another man's bandits and rebels.
He sighed interally watching the crowds outside the transport take them to the palace where they would receive permission 'hopefully' to investigate into the affairs of Panatha. The Jedi were taking a look over a lot of old governments since the Empire was taken out. There was still lasting corruption that Alric could see for ages to come. They had assigned him another apprentice on his cycling apprentices, though he understood they needed knights out in the field and training them under an array of master's got them the most experience and different ways of solving problems. He hadn't deemed any of them worthy of becoming Jedi Shadows yet and perhaps his sect within the order would remain dormant for years to come.
They were also escorting one of the higher ups in the Panatha that had been accused of a crime, the Jedi were meant to upkeep the peace so they had agreed to bring her back on the condition that her sentance be either lessened or postponed following an investigation from one of their order. The promise had been given and so here he was on his home planet knowing only what he had looked up in the archives every time he had felt homesick... though he was sure what he had felt during those days had not been homesickness but loneliness.
It wasn't long before they were entering the throneroom and he wondered how the king would greet his presence here. No doubt it would be with suspicion....

The teenager approach him from the decide and sort of waved in his peripheral vision, as if you say "whats up? I'm here." She was normally a grease monkey, and few had seen her looking this elegant. She was glad in a red diplomatic dress with black shoes and full make up. Red lipstick, a good amount of eyeliner, but with her lightsaber still attached to her belt, which was makeshift and stylish for this mission. She wasn't much for this kind of attire, but even she had to admit she looked pretty.
"Princess Emma is still on the vessel... it's assumed that she will be arrested on sight if Danzala knows she's here..." She told him. At this juncture, a Panathan royal guard approached, having overheard her. "What's this? Lady Emmalia yet lives?" he asked her.
Sable grumbled. She wasn't used to this whole undercover thing yet apparently. She turned to the guard, hands on her hips. "That's Queen Emmalia, actually..." She told him. "Have you no respect?"
"When Danzala finds out, she'll be no more a queen than a rat would be...she'll be rotting..." he told her with a grin.
"Thanks for the information..." She told him, blowing him a kiss. Which seemed to confuse him.
"It's okay, now we know for sure the guy is corrupt..."

"Then perhaps it would be best if she stayed behind however, I'm going to request that the King cease his standing order to arrest on site for the time being. She is our escort and arresting her would be flying in the face of the republic. He would be hanging off planet far away from his people," said Alric looking over to sable. Just before they walked further into the throne room. Out of the whole palace he was probably the most out of place, wearing his dark blue robes that clashed with a lot of the décor. He was used to standing out however and didn't even seem to notice the occasional stare. As they approached the throne they looked up to King Danzala.
"King Danzala, it is a pleasure to meet with you. We are the Jedi escorts, and republic representatives for the investigation into your government for signs of residual imperial reign. As you know many planets have come under recent suspicion that they may still hold old Imperial ties with the hidden regiments. If you are cleared by us there will be no further suspicion," said Jedi Master Alric bowing low to the King, and then his eyes held firm attention to the king. "We will also be investigating what happened with the Heir of this planet and your succession to the throne. We understand that she currently is to be arrested on sight, I request you temporarily retract this order and allow us to begin our investigation. The truth will be found, I promise you that."
Alric's eyes seem to hold an edge in them at that moment. He had felt something foul since he had gotten onto this planet. He wouldn't act upon his suspicion just because of a feeling but he knew the force often gave warning signs that Dark Force users were near by and he was good at weeding them out. First however he'd need proof, and then if the darkside was present here he would have to contain the matter or destroy it so that the teachings do not fall into the wrong hands.

The Red Sun drops out of hyperspace having suffered minor damage from their raid on the Sith occupied castle on Vjun. While the damage was minor it still will take Duncan a week or two to get everything repaired and resupplied. The ships computer shows the planet as Panatha in the Pacanth, unfortunately the computer doesn't seem to have too much information on the planet except for mountain ranges, jungles and a single city Tree City.
Once planet side a group of armed officials looking like they want a fight. We have you vessel tagged as a Exchange ship, care to elaborate? Samuel takes a step forward We're actually with the Republic on our way towards Thule, our ship was damaged when we were engaged by sith fighters. Of coarse it was all a lie but he didn't need people to know that was was with eh Exchange regardless what his reasons were.

"You were attacked by sith?" asked the guards looking between each other before nodding at each other. "We're going to have to take you in for further questioning sir. We can do this the easy way or the hard way your call. Sith sightings are a priority to the Republic as you may well know, and we just need to ask you a few questions in private." said the officer as they motioned to a side room.

Danzala's eyes narrowed as his succession was questioned. "Emmalia is here isn't she?" He said, though he already knew that. "I'm an ally of the republic, all of Panatha is an ally of the republic... you are epicant, yet you don't understand your own world? What's wrong with you, Outlander?" he asked him.
Wallace stepped forward, and nodded to his King. "The lines of succession were very clear, Master Jedi. Danzala is older than his sister, so his birth takes priority... we also have, on camera, the banished princess and her brother, Prince Clarke, killing Princess Spara, Prince Ashton, King Danzala's father Prince Lysander, and King Atticus himself in cold blood... and joking about it afterward... there's a good reason why she's exiled, Master Jedi... if she were to appear here, my lord's life would be in danger..."
"Would it be okay if we reviewed these tapes?" Sable asked. "I'll be able to tell if they've been tampered with."

Sam throws his hands up palms forward before his spoke Well, while I do love doing things the hard way makes things more exciting, I will comply to come peacefully and if it would help the matters take a look at the ships navigation computer. Sam motioned his hand and signaled Qara to give one of the guards access to the ships computers, Qara groaned at the idea of babysitting anyone but orders were orders. Right this way "sir"
Sam walked up next to the guard questioning him So shall we get this on, I no doubt know that your eager to confirm this information.

"Alright," said the guard motioning to a side room where they went to before he sat down at a table and motioned for Jace to take a seat. "We're going to need to know anything you can tell us about that ship. What class was it? A Star cruise? Star fighter? What logo did it have? The old Imperial under Cain's rule or was it Malum's? About where did it occur, and finally do you recognize this ship at all?"
The guard took out a datapad with the image of a Sith Slicer(i think is the name of it). It looked like the photo had been taken from a satellite against the surface of the world.
Alric nodded along to the assertion that Panatha was allied with the republic. "I might remind you that Panatha was also allied with the Empire, during its reign. Not all planets did this," said Alric hoping to curve the pleas the king was laying at his feet as if there was no way that he could be found guilty of anything. "I also did not grow up here on Panatha. Most of my time was spent in the Jedi Temple far far away from here. If you please I would love to see more of Panatha should the investigation yeild such time."
As the King's aid came forward, explaining the situation in detail he held up a hand before letting it drop back to his side in his robes. "Please, I have heard the accusations, my apprentice here is right that we would like to see the tapes you have as evidence but we will be conducting our own investigation as to what happened. If you wouldn't mind cooperating with the investigation we would like to interview both of you seperately," said Alric knowing his position as both a Jedi Master and representative of the Republic could push his position far even on worlds of a heirarchy. "It would also seem the line of succession would belong to Prince Clark if males are included first... have either of you two any idea of his presumed wereabouts? Perhaps the Core? or Unknown regions?"

"I sent an assassin after him..." Danzala told him, being quite forthright. "He may or may not have been a sith, but I don't particularly care as long as the job got done. You can look at the tapes all you want, I have nothing to hide... Clarkson is younger than me anyway... so your point is moot." He told the jedi.
"Listen Jedi, you may not agree with the way I do things around here, but it is my sovereign right to rule this planet, and the people here seem to be happy. Just because you chose to abandon your people to serve uncle sam...you think you're some righteous hero?"
"An assassin huh? So Panatha doesn't agree with the idea of a fair trial...innocent until proven guilty?"
"You foolish human child... Clarkson and Emmalia have already been found guilty..."
"By the system or by you, Your Majesty?" She retorted.
"The videos don't lie... the pair of them are homicidal psychopaths, and they were going to come after me next! I had no choice! I took over the courts and invoke martial law, but Emmalia and Clarkson fled before I could assert capital punishment on grounds of treason...If the girl is here, she will be shot on site... now take your videos and get off my world..."

Sam took a seat making himself comfortable as the guard started ask him a series of questions, all were pretty straight forward all he was asking for were details on the Sith he encounter on Vijun. Sam leaned forward on the table his hands crossed as he began to speak. Perhaps I should of been clearer on what I said. While it is true that me and my crew were assaulted by Sith droids and fighters there were no capitol ships, just station defenses in and around Baast Castle. As for the occupation forces I could not say I was not born during the conflict you had with them and my parents wouldn't talk about the war Sam leaned back in his chair waiting for the guard to say something when he just remembered a name. I did catch a name, Aura Whinsin, Winson I cant remember, either way the guy didn't seem to bright so take that for what it's worth.
Back at the Red Sun Qara showed one of the guards to the cockpit where the navicomputer is as Duncan was concealing the datapad they had obtained on Vijun in the armory where Khelgar and Sand were training.

Alric's voice remained calm despite his growing iritation of this king. "So after two supposed killers escaped your planet under martial law I might add, you sent an assassin after your own kin who you admit may have been a sith?" asked Alric his tone flat as if he were just scribing the conversation and just wanted to get the correct phrasing down. "I'm beginning to wonder if I want to be associated with such a birth place as this. Thus far evidence shows that you share something in common with your brother and sister. You'd resort to violence first, rather than hear them out. This is why an investigation is needed to determine whether the killings were in fact Emmilia and if so what was the reason for the killing the royal family. Furthermore what is the reason for you hiring an assassin and opening admitting it to a Jedi Master and Ambassador to the republic."
Alric sighed scratching the back of his head wondering how much power had gone to the kings head, and he knew he would have to explain the situation that the King had narrowed himself back into. "Hiring an assassin especially for political reasons, is an illegal act within the republic. In addition to investigating the crimes commited by your brother and sister we will now be forced to look at your whole resheem for war crimes such as this," said Alric as if he were discussing the matter with a friend in the Jedi temple were he was safe instead of in a foreign king's throne room with his royal subjects close at hand.
He then looked over to wallace. "I should like to see those tapes now, and if you hold any respect for this planet's hierarchy then you should not let the King do anything brash, we've yet to find him guilty of anything yet save for admitting to hiring an assassin," said Alric as he then looked at his apprentice winking for a moment. Most of the time Kings, and the like thought they were smarter than the common folk and underestimated everyone else.
"Thank you for your cooperation, you are free to go." said the guard a bit disappointed apparently that the ship hadn't been recognized by the offworlder. Regardless, they didn't have any further questions and nothing to hold him with. He was escorted back out of the room and given the green light to proceed into the city of Panatha.

Danzala crossed his arms. "War crimes? This is getting ridiculous..." He spat, clearly unamused. "I have every right to finish off my siblings after what they've done...I don't do detachment I'm afraid, and i certainly don't do forgiveness... as for me being honest about it, it's because I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE" He told him, once again. "So unless you're going to formally arrest me, then begone."
Sable looked up at Alric and cupped her mouth to whisper to him. "Are we even allowed to arrest him on his own planet?"
Wallace had gone off, and he soon returned with the evidence tapes. "They've been reviewed here and off world, there is no tampering... if there's anything undocumented, it's lost to time, but I swear to you the tapes themselves are genuine..."
Sable loaded them into her datapad and projected them on to the nearby wall, watching through as Danzala's siblings went to work on killing almost every family member. "I find it interesting, Alric..." She said with a smirk to the master Jedi. "Interesting that there are records for every death except for Princess Grace, even though she was killed in her own room..."
"Are you stupid or something?" Danzala asked. "Why would we put a camera in our bedrooms?"
"Still though, there's no records of her being dragged away on film at all, as a matter of fact that last instance of her on film is with her talking to you, your majesty...and you don't look happy..."

As soon as the guard gave Sam the permission to leave he did putting his suede jacket back on and leaving the room he notices the guards expression of disappointment, Sam didn't pretend to understand the excitement of fighting Sith but he really didn't care. Just before he stepped out of the room he turned to the guard. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask, just come by the ship Duncan will radio me. With that Sam was off to the nearest weapons merchant to stock back up on EMP grenades. While on his way out Sam over hears mummers of several people speaking and judging form the tone it's probably a very heated conversation. Well not letting the opportunity pass it self for information Sam decided to sneak his way closer to hear the convocation better.
Sam finds a small crevice just big enough for Sam to slip through with a pipe running through it, Sam climbs the pipe and slowly making his way through the hole in the wall close to the ceiling where he can get a better view. Looking down Sam could see five maybe six people there one looking like the man in charge.
Back at the Red Sun the guards continued to search the navicomputer Qara not being the most patient decided to insult the man Theres nothing you going to find numb nuts, we've broken no laws. Right there Duncan heads back in hearing Qara insulting the man. Come on Qara don't insult the man/
