“Well, I think the tune ups are all finished.” Arai said as he slid out from underneath his Jedi Starfighter and shook dirt off his now messy raven black hair. Days after first arriving on Arbra and searching through the tunnels Arai found one cave large enough to make as a personal hangar for his ship. It once belonged to his mother who gave it the black crystalline durasteel plating and upgraded it from the old era it once belonged to. It was officially handed down to her son as an heirloom. He took great pride in having his own starfighter but felt bad for neglecting it so much in the last decade. Honestly he never had a reason to use it until the Jedi became whole again and he found himself traveling to Anoth and Light of the Force from time to time. Arai was no ace pilot or mechanic, but he could tell the lack of maintenance has affected his ship’s performance greatly. So today, he spent tuning up the systems and engine, making sure everything was recalibrated to be good as new. Shadow had already integrated himself to the fighter since he was tired of sitting around in Arai’s room.
With his hard work finally complete, Arai decided “It’s time to take her out for a spin.” He said already stepping on the nose and walking to the open cockpit. He strapped himself in and started up the fire. Systems beeped and chimed online and the engines sounded way better than before. “Alright, everything is in the green, let’s fly Shadow!” He took control of the yoke and slowly accelerated out of the cave, through the wavy tunnel and shot up into the beautiful Arbran skies with a spin. He leveled himself at a kilometer above ground level, cruising over the vast landscape while sending his transponder codes to patrol convey in orbit. He didn’t plan on leaving the atmosphere but it was just to prevent being shot down by rogue class fighters. Now that he was in the clear, he could fly through Arbra however he pleased without a worry.
