Setting
Grand-Moff Tarin's force arrived and his command ship moved to dock with the station. The Moff was already on his way to the main airlock by the time they arrived. He wanted to be ahead of the game and get to the meeting arrangements underway before the Varden as to be polite.
Once he entered the station an orderly handed him a pad and Tarin began to skim things and initial as he walked almost tripping as he did so.
"Have the conference room ready and prepare some refreshments and something nice to eat. Also have Envoy Vontaru meet me in the conference room. And have my honor guard escort them to the conference. In these times we damn near need allies."
Upon arrival the Varden would be given instruction to land a shuttle in the Hangar bay of the station and then would be escorted to a lavish conference room for the negotiations.

From the station a message was transmitted to Lochlyn's forces giving him the Destination of the station. On board the station Grandmoff Tarin pondered the situation beside him another man, General Williams stood looking out over the SEC forces assembled around the space station.
The normally minuscule taskforce was replaced with three entire battle groups of second generation enterprise ships. Each of the battle groups was headed by a massive Paladin-Class Defender the ship was the largest type roughly around 600 Km long and 400 Km wide. Each of these ships was armed with a primary Axial-Superlaser and carried an armament of Paritcle Accelerator cannons as well.
"This seems awefully Cocky to me Tarin, I would have hidden these things and used them later if things went sour they are after all suppose to be our allies...." General Williams stated though he only got a disapproving nod from the Regional Moff.

His words were transmitted out towards the station and the SEC forces, "Make room. It's a big ship, we'll be here for awhile." He joked.
"General this is cocky show force but I want these ships to move on honestly I don't care what becomes of this situation we have a defense to plan in regards to the cybrans incase they have a change in heart. I know the board isn't pleased with Juniper moving in but from a purely military prospective and an economic I cannot see why this wouldn't serve our personal and national interests." Tarin stated.
"I completely Agree." Williams stated.
"Captain I assume you have a representative with your ships be it you or someone else I would like to invite some of you over for drinks and parlay while things are finalized."
"Tell the other captains we're going off-ship, gonna have drinks and whatnot." He told his crew, "Tell them to have their crews get together any cargo manifests and any papers if they have them." Captain Styles ordered, getting up from his seat.
As the ship docked with the station, Captain Styles and his lieutenant were already on their way to the ship's airlock. Up and down a few staircases, down an elevator and eventually they were crossing over onto Belta Station.
Styles probably wasn't a particularly interesting sight when he stepped onto the space station, donning a clean blue jumpsuit that made him look more like a mechanic who took care of his uniform. His lieutenant wearing the same.
He'd be surprised if someone didn't toss him a wrench soon.
Tarin was a bit taken aback by this the young man didn't really hold any power from what he could see but both Tarin and Williams were strong supporters of Sullen. After Lukes removal from power both men were stuck on back water positions as more suitable candidates were moved into the higher military roles.
"Give him a suite and see to his arrival if he wishes to meet us and our party for drinks he is more than welcome to attend." Tarin said was the two and a few guards moved to the airlock. They waited until the Arrival of the others.
"Captain Welcome Aboard I thought we greet you personally I'm Moff- Fen Tarin and this is General Jim Williams" He said.
"So, drinks?" Captain Styles asked, "I'll have to be honest and say I am looking for to getting a little buzz going." He told the two men, "As you know, I'm Styles, with me is my lieutenant, Jan Crock. With us are captains Oliver, Sanchez, Adwele, Florence, Rios, Putin, and Marquez." Styles said, introducing his fellow captains.
"Lead the way, sirs."
Both of the Military men gave Josiah a nod they were surprised by his presence given his fathers execution not even a day prior. Though both of these men were after all Tarin was one of Lukes more trusted associates.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say I thought some of them were a little jealous. Some of them jealous in a very unhealthy fashion." He added.
With his fathers death Josiah had been given a number of tasks and even though after the arrest he had taken over his fathers previous agenda though now that his father had parted Josiah had improvised adding a bit of his own. For now first of all he wanted out of Andromeda he was stopping here to supply then he was going to leave these men being here at the same time only server as a convenient coincidence. Meeting with Mr. Haley would provide him with the perfect reason to leave the system until things cooled down for a bit. Plus it would piss Lindsay off to no end.
"I do hope that's okay with you all."
Josiah just nodded to the men. "That will be fine. General Captains, Moff I will be retiring to my quarter's if you need me. Once you talk to Mr Haley just inform Tarin and he can get in touch with me." Josiah said before walking out of the room.
Styles then turned to the other men as Josiah left, "I'll be seeing you around. We have a bright future ahead of us." Captain Styles said before he turned and headed for the exit, his lieutenant in tow.
