The Parliament of Owls

Extrasolarian starship first mentioned in Tales of the Sun Eater, Volume 1. One of its crew members, the Extrasolarian GIACOMO, visited the planet Kanthi to purchase Consortium contraband.

“I still don’t see…” Gant’s voice trailed off, and Kalas imagined him squinting over the railing, peering down over the stinking fisheries and Narayan building and the lower structures around. “No, there it is!” He sounded like he was pointing. “Right on top of the building, hanging off the south side. I don’t recognize the make, though.”

Kalas peered up at top of the building, but there was nothing to see. Some sort of active camouflage? That did not bode well. Abhanri didn’t restrict flight, didn’t have a customs office. Who would cloak themselves in such a place? Who would need to?
