Talak had never been to a world quite like Christophsis before. Most worlds were desert, jungle, snow, or even water, but Christophsis was entirely different. The entire planet was made up of crystalline structures, which just went to show that the galaxy was filled with endless wonders.
Crystals. Kyber crystals had played an important role in the lives of Force-users for generations, and Talak was no exception. His pursuit of knowledge and artifacts had led him to investigate the kyber crystals he'd heard reports of on Christophsis, but he still had his doubts about the reliability of his information. Rumors had it that the CIS and Empire had strip mined the entire area for their super weapons and research projects, leaving nothing for the subsequent generations. He didn't have high hopes that he would actually manage to find anything of value here, but the Force led him here nonetheless.
His ship dropped through the upper atmosphere and streaked toward the open landing platform being relayed to his navicomputer. He pulled the controls back and slowed to a stop as the ship set down - a bit more roughly than he intended - onto the landing platform. He really needed to practice his flying more often...
He shut down the power system and hit the ramp controls, dropping it with a hiss and a flush of steam. A dock worker quickly ran up to him, demanding credits for docking and Talak quietly sighed.
You've elected to waive my docking fee, he said, with a wave of his hand. To trick the mind of another was a basic use of the Force, and one with many, many practical applications.
I've elected to waive your docking fee, the man said in the background as Talak walked away, not even waiting to see if his ship was tended to. He knew it would be, and he had more pressing matters to concern himself with. The tip he'd gotten pointed to a shadow broker in the slums who might have information about what he was looking for, and a map to an unspoiled kyber cave.
The thought of whatever shady part of town he was heading to made him reflexively touch the pair of saber hilts hidden below his robes. Now or never, he thought as he pulled the hood over his head and headed out of the docking bay and into the belly of the city. @Wit
