Planetary Background
Odessen is a planet located in the Wild Space region of the galaxy, known for its strong connection to the Force and its rich history. The planet was once home to a highly advanced civilization known as the Architects, who left behind incredible technology and knowledge that has fascinated scholars and explorers for centuries.
After the Architects disappeared, Odessen remained largely unimportant and unsettled until it was chosen as the site of Satele Shan's exile following her failure to defend the Galactic Republic from the Eternal Empire's conquest. During the war against Zakuul, Odessen became the headquarters of the Alliance that opposed the Eternal Empire.
The Alliance base was constructed in secret in the wilderness, where it remained until it was revealed to the Eternal Emperor Arcann by the rogue droid SCORPIO. Despite the revelation of the Alliance's location, they won two major battles against the Eternal Empire in the Battle of Odessen, establishing it as a place of great strategic significance in the galaxy.
Following the Eternal Empire's defeat and the establishment of the Eternal Alliance, Odessen became the capital of the new government. The planet underwent a period of rapid growth and development, with new institutions and technologies being established to serve the needs of its inhabitants.
But that is truly ancient history. Newly arrived on Odessen, Taiia Locke leads a small team with a singular goal to scout for a suitable location to build upon Taiia’s dream. Odessen existed much like herself in balance in the force. Odessen however is not without its dangers or its secrets and she and the others coming with her would have to brave them.
-- Background End
The soft blue and black hues of hyperspace whirled past the ship as Taiia’s green eyes looked into the void ahead of them. Allyson Locke was off in the core again doing what she did. Taiia as usual never questioned, only asked her to be careful and send her a holo when she could. Being so close to Allyson made her only want to divert to go find her but, like her, Taiia had a job to do one that she had commissioned herself. For years as Taiia grew her understanding of the force under the tutelage of many fine masters within the Confederacy, she came to the conclusion that what she had learned needed to be taught away from the confines of governing bodies or fanatical orders.
Knowledge should be shared, freely. Over the years Taiia had been devoted to study not just of the force but also its history and origins. She had learned from Sith, Jedi, Nightsisters and even going as far to join a Jedi training session on Manaan with the Order of Shasa. Overtures were even made to the Matukai but they were disinterested, she understood why and held no grudge. Taiia slipped a hand up and tucked a wild crimson hair back behind her hair as the alarm began to sound that they were exiting hyperspace.
The blue and black swirl of hyperspace gave way as the ship lurched while it returned to normal space, a massive planet of vast green forests and oceans that seemed to cover almost every inch of its surface. The massive planet replaced the chaos of hyperspace in the cockpit window. She smiled as she took in the sights of the planet before tapping on the controls to release the autopilot, she would begin her descent space giving way to sky as her ship pierced the clouds and she looked into the deep valleys and rolling plains below looking for a suitable landing site.
Ahead of her arrival she had sent word to Strill Securities as well as some of her other associates to meet her on Odessen, the significance of this world would soon skyrocket. Finally locating a suitable location the aging YT-2400 settled gently into soft ground, the landing struts sinking ever so slightly but not enough for concern. The redhead began the power down sequence and then stood from her chair as she reached for a green cloak on the back of the pilots chair, quickly throwing it around herself as she made for the exit ramp.
