The soft lights of the cockpit underlit the deepening wrinkles on his green face as he worked to plot his next course. It had been many years since his knighthood. He remembered leaving Master Romi's side, training his own padawan and setting out on orders to defend the unknown regions against the Vong-sith alliance. He remembered two thirds of that fondly.He always would remember those early years fondly.
He had been out in the black since, going from one distress call to another, one small villiage or ship at a time. He had done everything from fight pirates, to help repair plumbing. And he would not trade it. It was how the force had guided him. It had been a constant companion always giving a gentle nudge from one place to the next, but today for the first time in decades, he sat alone. The force was quiet, still within him as if waiting. Like the force held its breath.
"Strange, this is." He said to himself, as he dialed back his thrusters to deepen his meditations.
He closed his large green eyes and almost as if on cue the buzzing of his comms began to fill the small E-wing cockpit.
"Funny you think you are, hmm?" He said as if speaking the force before he gave a hearty laugh. He was glad no one could see him. They would think he had gone crazy.
A cycling distress signal played on a loop with a set of coordinates on a near-by planet. It looked like it wasn't on his charts as being inhabited but the world was habitable. Odd, thing that was. He set a course and left immediately. No need to delay the force was with him. What could go wrong.
