The DECS Pathfinder was docked on the space station, orbiting the furthest planet in the system. Captain Priam was in the science cruiser's CIC, wearing a white and blue uniform. Right now he is going through a terminal as the crews are putting the finishing touches on making sure the Pathfinder is ready to go. Lance is making sure they have everything and then some, the Pathfinder's cargo bays will be stocked with food, drinks, fuel, various make/models of probe droids and other essentials as well as ground vehicles. It's hangar bay stocked with air craft. Crewmen would be at their stations working diligently. Lance is feeling uneasy knowing that before too long he along with the ship are going into the Unknown Regions.
The expedition the Pathfinder is about to take is risky. there is a very real possibility that once they jump to lightspeed they may not return. This is an all volunteer expedition, no one, no Corpsmen are in the ship against their well. But there is also a like-wise possibility the expedition will yield good fruit. There's bound to be new species the galaxy has yet to see, exotic planets to see, technology they have never seen, wonders to behold. The possibilities are infinite..
There are a lot of skilled hands on the ship. Scientists and engineers both of various fields and capable crewmen. To further ensure the expedition's success, they also hired outside contractors. Trained security/response personnel were also another thing something the Corps spared no expense on, in addition to Mandalorians, they even enlisted a whole company for that as well.
This placement of this space station in the far reaches of the Jakku system isn't a coincidence. It's all about location. Due to Jakku's location, it very closely borders unknown space, making it more or less a gateway into the Unknown Regions.
Everyone should be on the ship already, but there might be some new arrivals yet to come. Almost all the preflight checks are done, once they are done then they can set off. It's almost time to go into the Unknown.
