Premier Katz took his seat at the table, and accepted the drink that was offered to him.

The quiet, well mannered man watched keenly as the Order Admiral's moved to prepare their presentation. They were efficient, as they always were, especially when it came to making the Coalition feel welcome.

Though there were many ideological differences, a friendship between the two groups had formed, a mutual respect built around a common threat. Katz knew the importance of keeping friends close.

He glanced at Commandante Warner, sitting beside him, and settled in to watch the briefing.

When eventually the question was asked, Katz tilted his hand up, "The first task will be to complete a full survey of the location. Ensuring that whatever is located around doesn't pose any kind of direct threat during construction. If and when we start building, we are going to require swift action to get the base established before the local combat forces realize we are there... however..."

Katz stood, slipping a hand into his trouser pocket, pushing back his long black coat. "This is where the chaos in the Taus works to our advantage. The Kusari and the Bretonians are currently focused in Leeds, and along the Tau-31 corridor. Tau-23 being a battleground between the Outcasts and the Colonial Remnant keeps both concentrated here..." he motioned, "and here. Which leaves us free to explore the further edges. If we are quick and move in absoloute secrecy, we should be able to secure a prime piece of real-estate sufficiently off the beaten track... failing that, I might propose we look around Falkland base, and the mining operation there."
