A few days ago an ancient Lucrehulk Core Ship bearing CIS markings was detected by the Ranger Corp in an uninhabited system near Humbarine. The system is dying, with a dim star orbited by an asteroid field and only a few lifeless planetoids. The ship in question is one of the largest objects in the system, with a dust cloud surrounding the vessel.
The vessel registered no signs of power, however its trajectory indicated it was travelling away from the system's central star against the force of gravity. A small team of Rangers took high intensity scans of the listing vessel, discovering its registry codes and identifying it as a missing CIS Research Vessel sent into the Deep Core to fabricate a weapon to counter the Jedi Knights of the time.
After transmitting their findings the team made contact with the ship to investigate the interior. Since then, no contact with that team has been made. A second team was dispatched to monitor the vessel from a distance, but has yet to engage or interdict the system.
At the behest of several Neimoidian scientist the Purse World's government has offered a substantial reward for the station's central databanks recovery. Rumors have arisen that the Neimoidians are aware of the what is on board the vessel or what they were studying, but are unsubstantiated. In response however the Free Worlds Coalition desires to inspect the databanks for themselves before making them available to the public.

Laira sat comfortably in the co-pilot's chair of the little shuttle beside the Ranger piloting the craft. "All system's green. Ready to go when you are." Behind them, a number of other guests could be seated and a series of sensor and investigation equipment crates were stacked and netted between the two rows of seating facing each other.

The Hulk has atmosphere, but is not underpower. Power to each section can be reactivated as we go. The area around the Hulk has a draining effect on ships, almost like an EMP field that gets worse the longer a ship is inside it (simple explanation for why we can't all just leave, but if you get there and then decide you would prefer to leave, by all means fix your ship and do so)
Numerous B-1 and B-2 Battle Droids patrolling or guarding key locations, they are rundown and in a state of disrepair, but there are enough of them over all to be dangerous. Droideka and BX as the story and writers desire.
Objectives:
A) Investigate the Station, restoring Power to necessary Functions. Locate the Laboratory
B) Keep Battle Droids from further damaging the shuttle
C) Repair the shuttle for escape of the derelict station.
