ISD II Raven's Claw "So the rebellion has an interest in Bespin, I see," Veers said with a slight smirk. "I thought you were smarter than that Solo. I never asked you why the Rebellion would be here, I asked you why you are here. Considering Bespin has casinos and you like to play in the sabaac tournaments." He drank the last of the brandy in his glass and slowly stood up. "But now you can tell me why the Rebellion has sent you here."
ISD II Raven's Claw There was a table between them so when Solo tried to throw a punch at him from his side, Veers had time and distance to deal with it. The Imperial general's own hand shot out and grabbed Solo's wrist, twisting it so that it brought the man's shoulder crashing down into the table. The older soldier did not let go as he walked around the edge, pulling back the arm and inflicting as much pain as possible to keep the rebel incapacitated. "Don't be a fool, Solo," Veers hissed in the man's ear after twisting his arm around behind his back and pressing him into the table. "Don't throw your life away, not for them. Not for a bunch of criminals who would gladly stab you in the back if it suited their political needs. Isn't that what they did to your wife? They'll do to you as they did to her."
ISD II Raven's Claw "I am not asking for you to betray your wife," Veers said soothingly, letting Solo up again and stepping back. He rested his hand on his blaster in case the man tried anything else and he made sure Solo saw him do that. "I am asking you to reconsider your allegiances. You both were once loyal subjects of the Empire. Your wife an Imperial Senator, yourself a Lieutenant in the Imperial Forces. How long will it be before your enemies in the rebellion start questioning you. Pointing fingers at you." He lowered his voice to a more, thoughtful and serious tone; "You and I both know that all you want is peace and order in this galaxy. Saftey for your family. You don't care who is in charge so long as your wants are met." Veers placed a hand on Solo's shoulder and squeezed slightly. "The Empire can give that and has given it in the past. There had been peace and order. Before the rebellion. For nearly two decades, General Solo, there was no war. Only peace. Now... for nearly three decades there has been nothing but war. A war that will continue until one side has annihilated the other." The Imperial General straightened up. "Help me end this war. Help me bring back peace and order to this galaxy and I can help you achieve what you want for yourself and for your family."
