My favourite Mara Jade Quote
There it was: the forearm holster for [Mara Jade's] tiny blaster. The blaster itself was missing, of course--the captain of the Adamant had taken it away from her, and the Imperials weren't likely to return it anytime soon. Looking for a duplicate in the New Republic's arsenals would probably be a waste of effort, as well, though she was tempted to ask Winter for one just to see the reaction.
Fortunately, there was another way.
Each residential floor of the Imperial Palace had an extensive library, and in each of those libraries was a multicard set entitled The Complete History of Corvis Minor. Given how unexceptional most of Corvis Minor's history had been, the odds of anyone actually pulling the set off the shelf were extremely slim. Which, given there were no actual data cards in the box, was just as well.
The blaster was a slightly different style from the one Mara had lost to the Imperials....
