Oosalon
Deep in the mountains of Oosalon in the Outer Rim, Voyage Now, a joint exploration expedition, had since gone underway. Led by Tarticus Salvin, a Zabrak Force-sensitive, the team set out for the planet to discover what secrets rested within its barren landscape.
Days led to nights, evenings transformed into mornings, and throughout all hours the group of scientists and archeologists steadily charted the mountain range to record its flora and fauna.
The former was not much worth reporting, with short grass and thirsty trees where there were any, so they set up their outpost in one of the few forested areas. It was to their own detriment.
Local fauna was far less forgiving. As uncertain earthquakes continued to plague the explorers, ravenous moles emerged from the earth to harass the team; giant birds dared anyone to travel the naked plains; and razor-clawed predators lurked in the very trees thought to provide shelter.
Worst of all, the latest earthquake collapsed the explorers’ ship into the earth. After that, Tarticus alerted the Jedi Council to send help, knowing one or two of its members. The Jedi, being who they were, did not hesitate.
Knights Vayla Mirana and Callum Faust answered the call. Their mission was to stabilize the community or ship them out, depending on the threat level, but not before exploring the mountains themselves.
For, with that latest earthquake, the edges of a building were discovered in the rock, and Tarticus was certain of the Force outlining it—light or dark.
The Star’s Sanctum, Vayla’s freighter, ferried the two Knights to Oosalon that morning. It touched down outside Prime Grove, the expedition’s outpost in a forest clearing. “Fresh air,” Vayla announced as the pair of Pantoran and Human descended the ramp.
Prime Grove was a basic building for its purpose, providing all the amenities for explorers while keeping it simple, but there were signs of neglect already against the forested backdrop.
“We should visit with Tarticus right away,” Vayla confirmed. “Mind taking the lead?” She asked Callum, already enthralled in her datapad as it brought up Voyage Now’s discoveries so far.
