MINEFIELD
A distress call echoes through the galaxy, beckoning two Jedi Knights to the Anaxes asteroid belt. Will they be able to overcome the challenges ahead and emerge victorious, or will the darkness of the asteroid belt claim them?

Perun sat in the cockpit of his sleek starfighter, feeling the slight vibrations of the engines as they navigated the treacherous Anaxes asteroid belt. His golden-hued eyes scanned the swirling celestial debris, his senses keenly attuned to the dangers that lurked within. The metallic scent of the starfighter's interior mingled with the faint aroma of ozone, a telltale sign of the ionized gases that powered the engines.
Perun couldn't help but feel a pang of curiosity and excitement at the prospect of working with Roalik Novarish, the Chiss Jedi Knight. The Chiss were a rare sight in the galaxy, and he had never had the opportunity to collaborate with one before. Given their contrasting backgrounds, he wondered how their experiences and perspectives would mesh.
As the starfighter continued to dance and weave between the rapidly approaching asteroids, Perun felt the subtle vibrations of the craft in his bones. His fingertips tingled from the tactile feedback of the controls while the shifting gravitational forces played with his sense of balance. His lightsaber hilt, nestled comfortably on his belt, felt like an extension of his own body, a silent reminder of his dedication to the Jedi Order.
Perun's ears picked up the low, steady hum of the ship's systems, punctuated by the occasional blip or chirp from the various instruments. He focused on the sonorous melody of the engines, finding solace in their reassuring rhythm. His tongue, flicking out to taste the air, was met with the dry, sterile atmosphere of the cockpit, a stark contrast to the humid jungles of his homeworld, Ma'alkerr.
Despite the inherent dangers of the asteroid belt, Perun couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the scene before him. The asteroids, illuminated by the distant starlight, seemed to sparkle like precious gems strewn about the cosmos. The vast expanse of the galaxy stretched out before him, a canvas painted with a myriad of stars, each one a unique story waiting to be discovered.
He turned to Roalik, unable to resist the opportunity for some friendly banter. "So, Roalik, how does it feel to fly through this cosmic minefield with a Ma'alkerrite ape-man at your side?" he asked, his voice tinged with a hint of playful arrogance. "I imagine it's quite the change of pace from your usual missions."
As they continued to traverse the asteroid belt, Perun couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation that welled up within him. He knew that the distress call from the mining station could signify any number of potential dangers, and he was eager to prove himself as a Jedi Knight. But more than anything, he looked forward to forging a bond with his new Chiss companion and facing whatever challenges awaited them in the depths of space.
