Such an unassuming world. It really was nothing more than a snow-covered planet, situated in the heart of the Mid Rim. Despite its freezing tundras, Ando Prime was surprisingly inhabited with the capital, Elesa, being built off the backs of several mining corporations. Its size and scale couldn’t compare to other planetary hubs but some were admittedly drawn to the wintry world for periodically pod racing; the mountainous terrain and frigid weather made for some interesting obstacles. Ando Prime wasn’t always like this though. For a long time, the only inhabitants on the planet were the native Talid and the ancient Order of Dai Bendu monks. Remnants of their worship could still be seen, their broken statues lay littered amongst the planet’s jagged snow caps.
Under different circumstances, Tiye might have found such a landscape to be aberrant in its beauty but for now, her cyanic eyes were firmly fixed elsewhere. For much of the journey, she had searched tirelessly amongst endless streams of data records; the more she delved, the more she bristled. These had been copied directly from the Jedi archives, the organization should be pristine! And yet…
They’ve been tampered with. The data was corrupted, with some sections missing entire entries! Tiye was none the wiser till the initial alarm had been raised. Her ametuer internship in the archives was utterly upheaved when a strange alert began to beckon for Jedi action; though there was mention of Ando Prime, the surviving records stated nothing else. It made no reference to the beacon’s purpose, nor to its exact location, only that it was a duty inherited to the Order from the Jedi of bygone days.
Once more, the Hapan found herself pinching the bridge of her nose. Preserving and studying the records had been Tiye’s responsibility. She was answerable for this oversight. Perhaps that is why she petitioned so vehemently for the opportunity to join in the initial investigation.
Again, and again, I continue to fail the Order...
