The Warehouse Hideout / Vault

One of the first assignments as government appointed supervisor of the government port as well as the government warehouse. I had to oversee the collection, cataloging, and confiscation of the Death Watch Items that belonged to the members who chose to become loyal to Maul after the execution of Pre Vizsla. 

Kar-Nah Wren, the now Prime Minister of Mandalore, and Aunt Bo-Katan aided in the identifying of the members that were faithful to Mandalore. Those Identified as such had their armor and belongings discretely returned to appropriate family members.

The rest came under my charge. I was given clear instructions to keep these Items out of the 'wrong hands.' Although the instructions on how this was to be accomplished was left up to me.

As such an entire hanger adjacent to the government warehouse became a vault. On the side of the hanger that was furthest from the warehouse was a walled off area that made an odd angle. It was always a kind of dead space. It was difficult to get things in and out of. It had access to a small landing platform with a very awkward approach. In order to get to this platform, you have to be a good pilot, and you have to know that it is there.

Among the contraband that we "watched over" was a Kom'rk class fighter. It had some recently acquired damage, but with parts from all of the wreckage after the battle, Sonnie had it back to perfect running order in no time.

There was a section of the hanger that was already set up with limited access, we just took a few steps to make it more secure. We walled over the larger cargo door in such a way that it could be opened again, but only from the inside. The outside access was set up so that any one of us could land inside with the right access code submitted from the craft. The only other way into the area from the outside was set up specifically for me. 

You see we first set up the door with four internal locking bolts, two on each side of the door going into the wall. Then I practiced for a week, using the force to slide each bolt to the right point where the door could be opened. Then after confidence was found by all, we welded an armored plate over the door in a way that it matched the wall plates. It was amazing, if you didn't know that the space was there, you would think that the space ended at the wall.

The down side was that I had to be there to open the door, but that was an upside too. 

Besides the fighter, that we named the Reliable. In the larger hanger we were working on a few different ships. We had enough parts that we thought that we would eventually have a second working Kom'rk, and may be a third. One of them was set up as a troop transport, which might come in handy at some point, if we ever needed to move a group of people. 

The Reliable was a well designed craft. It can be flown by a single pilot, but can maintain a crew of four, which was perfect for us. It had some cargo space. It was fast and capable of close combat. It was very maneuverable. 

There was also a Mandalorian shuttle for some reason in the inventory. After we took out most of the passenger seats and added some container restraints it is serving well as a cargo vessel.

We also maintain a large selection of armor, weapons, and other tech. 

While we use this cash of items, to do our job, we are making sure that it does not fall into the wrong hands.
