Kyra and Jay met back with Cierra as she exited the freighter from her tour. Cierra was in a very good mood.

"I can tell you like the ship Cierra."

Cierra knodded.

"It's perfect. All of the necessary equipment will fit and there is plenty of room for the fighter to dock inside."

Kyra began walking next to Cierra with Jay following closely behind. Cierra seemed deep in thought again.

"What's on your mind Cierra???"

Cierra stopped.

"I just offered to purchase an astromech facility from Rob. It's for a..."

Kyra interrupted.

"A new home. Where is it?"

"He didn't get a chance to say yet. He also said we would discuss it later."

Kyra looked to Jay.

"Jay, we're getting hungry, can you take us somewhere to eat?"

The little droid beeped and chirped and began to lead the way.

"I will miss Coruscant. Leila has been a great teacher and Gordo has been.. well Gordo I guess!"

Both laughed. Cierra was also a little surprised by Kyra since she had only been on Coruscant for the past several months. All things considered, even though the business they did was dark, Kyra was accepted into the family as one of their own. The move would be for the best.

Tagge looked at Rob Stellar for a moment before answering, studying his features and his manner simply out of habit because you always watched what could be a rising competitor.

"Some water will be enough for myself, Mister Stellar. My associate here won't bother with anything. He's merely here to provide information to me and advise if needed. He's not very much a businessman, merely a brain that I rely upon," Edipus offered with a calm smile.

Omega Thrax merely shrugged off what could have been a light insult, he had no feelings to hurt as it was. He merely registered it and then ignored it as small talk was of little importance. What mattered was ensuring the Edipus ensured the growing prosperity of TaggeCo.

Rob smiled and nodded at the request for water and passed it on to a waiter that stood nearby. He watched the waiter nod slowly and hurry off towards the bar. The waiter was actually a man working for Stellar Enterprises and was here now simply before Rob did not trust the actually staff. This being a somewhat private meeting needed to be kept away from the prying eyes of Belgari citizens. Citizens who could easily be swayed to reveal much for the right price.

"What brings you to Belgaroth Mr.Tagge? Oh and call me Rob please." He said with a pleasant smile as he moved towards the set up table with Mr.Tagge and the other associate.

They sat just as the waiter returned and laid down three glasses and one crystal flask of water. Once this request was complete the man stood off to the side and awaited any other orders.

"If we are to be speaking on first name basis, then please, call me Edipus. As to why my company it here, its rather simple. Its an entire world full of scrap metal and this world is very near the Rimma Trade Route. I wish to establish a new trading port here so that the Tagge Company maybe spread its influence out more. The Core and the Empire's patronage are great but all business always looks to expand. I am in need of more holdings and Belgaroth strikes me as a rather good place too start. Low population, high material amounts, viable trade. Its everything I could hope for which is why I'm assuming Stellar enterprises are here as well," Edipus replied after taking his seat and sipping from his water.

Omega Thrax remained standing at Edipus' back right, looking very much like an adviser rather than participant in the conversation. He did not even partake of the offered water, merely observed the conversation.

Rob listened carefully and smiled at Edipus after taking a sip of his water. He had already guessed why the man was here, but it was still polite to ask and also to confirm ones suspicions. While Rob wanted Stellar Enterprises to control the whole of operations on this world, he was not a fool to think it could be cheap. With Mr.Tagge here to do the same, a new idea presented itself.

"That is the reason why Stellar Enterprises has invested in the planet. I know we have not done business in the past, but there is always a first time for everything, don't you think? Perhaps we could put our resources together and get operations up and running in much more cost effective way. I have now qualms with sharing this planet's resources with the Tagge Company." Rob stated as he leaned back into his seat and swirled the water in his glass slowly.

"Do you think our companies could work together if we divided the planet properly?" Rob asked while turning his head to look out the nearby window into the streets of the city below them.

The people residing on this planet were completely oblivious that sky above them, two men from different companies were conspiring about exploiting their planet wide scrap yards for their own large profits. Rob also knew, however, that these people would benefit greatly from what was about to transpire.

"I think something could be arranged for splitting this world between, it would benefit us both greatly to only have to spend half as much on developing this world. I believe a partnership here would be most useful to our cause."

Edipus smiled some, knowing that this could be the start of an excellent friendship between two companies, one that could very well make them both become very rich and powerful if they could continue it. The wheels began to turn in Edipus' mind as he formulated what could be done. The Tagge Company had its eyes on the Rimma Trade Route, and undoubtably so did Stellar Enterprises so why degenerate into corporate warfare which would waste resources? Partnership could ensure that wouldn't happen.

"Might I propose, since I assume you have your eyes on other worlds along the Rimma Trade Route. Perhaps we should extend this partnership? It would make life easier for both of us and decrease the chance of an unfortunate situations from occuring," Edipus said very calmly though making it clear that things could get ugly if partnership didn't occur, stating a simple fact of galactic business.

Rob nodded in agreement to everything that the man sitting next to him was talking about. When large two companies competed for a limited space, things usually tended to get messy for both and in the end each of the companies suffered. This was something that Rob did not want to take place on his watch. Stellar Enterprises seemed to have enough enemies already and could use more friends.

"I believe that we think very much alike Mr.Tagge, which could prove a very good thing for a partnership to bloom between us. Extending this relationship would be most welcome by Stellar Enterprises. If you agree perhaps we could sign some sort of agreement between us? As well as an agreement on who gets what on this planet." Rob said and thought for a moment about what could be shared.

"Stellar Enterprises already has a smelting facility functional on the planet, so perhaps TaggeCo could control the gathering of the scrap, while Stellar Enterprises builds and operates the facilities needed to break it down and reprocess it before shipment off world? There are also two moons in orbit. If we split things fifty fifty your company could take one of the moons and we the other?"

Edipus paused and seemed to consider this all quietly knowing full well that this was indeed the way to go. Also if Stellar already had smelting up and running it would be better if Tagge provided the means of gathering it. It would be a very symbiotic business relationship here and perhaps further on which is best since if the companies fed off one another's effort, they could both grow incredibly large and powerful. The Tagge Company needed such friends in these times of sloth on the part of major governments with war far off out of sight meaning weapons profits were useless. Trade was the way to go and then meant the a combine of sorts needed to be formed.

"I think that signing some form of agreement would do very well, just as it would help for us to divy up who exactly deals with which specific portion of the operations. TaggeCo will happily provide scrab for Stellar to smelt, perhaps we should give our little effort a name? The Rimma Trade Combine? It will be something to put in the paperwork as well as show our continuing cooperation with eachother."

Edipus raised his water glass slightly with a smile.

"Shall we toast to our new endevour? To the Rimma Trade Combine?"

Rob smiled at the man and gladly raised his glass. "To the Rimma Trade Combine. I rather like that name."

With a short laugh he clanked his glass against Edipus's and drank down the whole glass of water. "I shall my assistant type up a contract for us to sign in the morning if that is alright? In the mean time I should let my board know what had been reached and request for ships to arrive sooner that more facilities could be built for us. I trust it would be alright for my craft to use that new spaceport you have constructed?"

"But of course, we're partners now, Rob. I'm glad you find the name good as well. It's going to be being heard a fair bit more often now, first here on Belgaroth and then farther out as we extend our reach. I'll have orders issued to the construction vessels who will be arriving here soon enough. They can begin expansion of the spaceport, building storage facilities as well as facilities to make gathering all the more easier. Their services will be open to you as well."

Edipus chuckled and looked towards Thrax who merely nodded for a moment before turning back to his new business partner, Rob Stellar. It looked to be a very profitable future for the both of them now
