((I'll list this as semi-open if you wish to join in on this please shoot me a PM and we can maybe work something out. Padme is already taking part in this RP but I'm open to a few others if anyone would like to attempt something. I'd like this character to make a few allies/get their hands in something. Thanks!))
Just Outside what was known as: "Nym's Stronghold"
Lok, Karthakk System, Outer Rim Territories
The ship jolted against the atmosphere, the systems in front of the Ubese pilot flashed with caution. Something was failing. Jorushh moved a gloved hand to the controls after adjusting the emergency system; the cockpit falling silent. Hammering in a few commands the auto-pilot would send back a series of response commands, requesting an alternate path of correction. Balling up a fist it would slam against the small screen; the data on it flickering to black as it powered off.
"Schutta, stoopa!"
The heavily modified voice would bark out the comment, followed by a mixture of 'robotic' laughter. Jorushh's voice held no depth to it behind the helmet. The monotonous words were backed up by translation technology to assist weak vocal chords in speaking the foreign tongue. Scanning the horizon before the craft it was nothing but a barren plateau of rock and sand swirled together in a mixture of browns, oranges, and shadowy blacks and blues against the night sky. Flurries of specs would occasionally mirror against the sky as sulfur pits reflected the bright stars above.
Without notice the ship would take a battery of turbulence, the entire craft rocking against itself as the mountaintops rushed heavy winds across the open wastes of the planet. Adjusting the controls, the ship would strain against itself; the gravity of the planet forever pulling down on the would-be freighter. Pulling back on the yoke Jorushh would feel the entire burden of weight the ship held underneath a tight grip. The weight of the ship wouldn't be the only thing weighing on the mercenary, but the tension of knowing the craft was near its last leg. With a series of whines the ship would give its final alert of the approaching surface, but not before the fuel light brightly shined signifying the last of the ships fuel had come and gone.
"Chizk bota! CHIZK!!!"
Exclaiming outward the voice still held no real sound to it. What would normally come out as a scream would be interpreted as a mere comment. Running a hand over the distress beacon the yoke would force itself away from the other hand; not holding enough strength to keep it in place. The result was a full nose dive, the front of the craft dropping below the rear as the thrusters flame finally burned out. The underside of the cockpit would hit first, digging into the sand before meeting stone. It would topple the ship, sending it into a a frontward spiral where it'd meet its final resting place with an audible quake that could be felt for miles. Then all there was, was black..
