KOTOR 3: Invasion, Chapter 2

Chapter II

Master Arracus and Mareth borded their ship bound for the void. As they did a thought raced through their minds simultaniously. The thought was of the stories they've heared of the unexplainable things which live, and die on the outer reaches of the Galaxy. Most of the void planets have no ties to either the Sith or the Republic. They exist solly by themselves. Some haven't even had contact with outside lifeforms. However, it is never the stories of the planets of the void, but rather the strange and unuall creatures which live in such locations, completely devoid of life. There had been many journeys out into the void, but not many came back, and those who did never found anything but the empty vacume of space. Some of the very ambicious explorers accually tried to travel to neighboring galaxies. A journy that would take four life times, is the reason no one has come back.

As Arracus borded the ship he was welcomed by its pilot, captian Hulas Edgeland. 'welcome abord the Ebon Hawk' he said to Arracus with an outstreached hand. 'I don't think this ships ever seen a Jedi before! but I'm sure you'll find it satisfactory.'

'All your ship needs to do is to get us from planet to planet in one piece.' Responded Arracus.

'Ohh, she'll do that alright, don't worry about that. Me and this baby have been through a lot.' Edgeland reassured.

'Are we the entire crew?' Asked Mareth.

'Us and my utility droid, T3-M4. But don't worry he wont get in the way.' Edgeland explained to them as they walked into the center rotunda. 'Now, as for room assignments, Jedi on starboard, non-Jedi on port. I run a tight ship, and I don't want any screwin' around. Understood?'

'Listen you smuggler, as of this moment I am the captian of this ship, no orders are executed without my permission.' Arracus had always been in complete control in any ship he ever entered. And just because this wasn't a Corellian Capital Ship didn't mean that he would make an exception. 'You are only here because you know how tho fly this piece of junk. You will not even THINK to breath without asking me...Is that understood?'

Dead silence. Edgeland stood like a marble statue for minuets afterwards. Edgeland couldn't believe that what he just heared came from a Jedi. Usually they are quiet and just sit down and meditate. But this one was more of an Admiral than a keeper of the peace. Mareth chuckled under his breath, as he remembered the time Arracus had first given him the same shock.

'Uhhh...yes...sir...master...uhhhh' was Edgeland's response.

'No lets lift off, it's a two month trip to our destination' Arracus commanded.

'Master, may I ask...where is our first destination?' replied Mareth.

'In the same direction Revan left in, is where we should find clues to his where abouts.' aswered Arracus.

'Right, so what direction was that?' Edgeland interrupted.

After the cordinates where punched in, and the final checks were made, the Ebon Hawk was on its way to the very outer reaches of the Galaxy.
