Deep in the unknown regions lay strange and far-off planets the likes of which most in the galaxy had never even heard of. Alien atmospheres, living and malicious oceans that devoured all life around them. There was even rumored to be one where the laws of reality bent to the whims of life on its surface. They weren't on one of those, but Lwhekk wasn't much better so far.
Alia and Soleil had been sent as advance scouts by the Empire to see if the planet or its native species were useful. Their combined skills and experience would, hypothetically, make them ideal for that sort of thing. The main problem so far was something halfway disabling their ship as it approached the planet's atmosphere. While the Sith expedition shuttle had good stealth tech, apparently the Lwhekk natives didn't give a damn about stealth tech.
Soleil snapped to alertness with a splitting headache, feeling his face off the shuttle's control surfaces. With a quiet, throaty groan he looked around, eyes narrowed. They'd half-crashed, half-landed in some swampy, jungle-looking area on the planet. 'Alia' he projected groggily in the hopes she'd make some noise indicating she was conscious in her seat. Quickly getting himself unbuckled, he forced himself to his feet to start grabbing things. He had a feeling they shouldn't stay with the ship. 'Gotta go.' The headache was making it really difficult to make sentences.
