Druvkhar Post Remand Court
Overview
Druvkhar Post Remand Court
The starport isn't a city — it's a verdict waiting for a body. You set down on a mesa of sun-bleached stone where navy shade-cloth ripples in a hot wind and every approach lane is watched by a garrison tower that has nothing else to do but watch. The Remand Court sits at the center like a clenched fist: low fort walls, slit windows, a ramp that leads up to hearing halls where the empire tries its own officers without inviting the court world's audience.
Inside smells of hot metal, old paper, and the sharp citrus rinse they use on remand cells so nothing lingers. Clerks move in pressed imperial grey with kenning line-names stitched where civilians would wear logos. Female tactician officers occupy the chairs that matter; male shock guards stand at the walls with the stillness of men trained not to retreat without orders. The language shifts by room — Kharoz on the docket, Vryngate Common when someone wants you to understand how serious they are.
This is where your contract ends: the court steps, a remand clerk who counts escort beads, a signature that says you delivered the passenger intact and untampered. They don't offer coffee and a bunk unless you've earned it through flawless paperwork. They offer a fee release, a stamp, and the quiet pressure of an institution that remembers hulls which lose prisoners.
