Ask [Utegetu Nebula] Ashes of a Supernova

[Sirosh'langai]

►►► Utegetu Nebula - Siroshl​

The Utegetu Nebula had four systems and fourteen-some habitable planets. Though most of the planets were habitable, most of them had never been habited by anything with any amount of sentience. Only one of them had ever had any sort of settlement established on it, but even it had amounted to nothing. Chiss intel on the ghost settlement was scarce, but it appeared that the place had been formerly inhabited by humans, and as a result, it was likely there was some sort of old building that could be repurposed into an outpost for the Chiss to use.

"We're about to drop out of hyperspace," Siroshl announced as the ship prepared to enter the nebula. The Chiss woman was seated in the pilot's seat, feet kicked up on the dashboard with a cup of coffee leisurely held in the hand that wasn't controlling the ship. It was just her and Rahvin so she felt no reason to be straight-backed and serious the whole time. The only thing Siroshl was worrying about was spilling the hot bean juice on her clean white uniform. "Might want to grab a seat real quick."

When they finally dropped, the expanse of the nebula spread out before them. A slice of blue gas cut through the cloud of red. It was almost symbolic.

►►► Unamed planet, Tenupe system, Utegetua Nebula​

Not long after they dropped out of hyperspace, the two Chiss officers would trade its bright blue color for the almost-green skies of this planet. The environment around the abandoned town they were descending towards was covered in lush grass, and rock formations jut out of the ground every half a mile or so to cast shadows across the green earth. Three other planets in the Tenupe system could be seen - including Tenupe itself - in the sky, looming over the landscape.

"I'm going to land us just outside the walls," Siroshl noted aloud as the ground grew ever-closer. The buildings were dense enough that they couldn't land inside. Once they were on the ground, hopefully things would continue to be straightforward from there.
