Tired Trigger Finger
There was never much sentient life on Binaros. The ancient Imperial research complex had slowly faded into the tropical forests, and it felt as if the entire planet was maturing.
It was the typical, predictable, humid morning on the planet's surface. The trees in this particular area had been growing for several years now, competing for the limited sunlight. They were tall, and could've grown even taller -- if they weren't cut down mere moments later by the flaming bits of a ruined VCX-100.
The ship screamed through the atmosphere, the shields just barely holding long enough such that reentry would not be catastrophic. Bits of the hull flaked off, but only a little, before the ship slammed into the ground, slicing through the tall trees before coming to a grinding halt in the earth. The grey and yellow-painted ship tilted a little, then sat on the quiet, abandoned world.
Inside, a small light blinked on the control board, and a few moments later the connection was reestablished: a signal, broadcasting to any and all who might receive it. An ancient distress signal of an ancient ship, one forgotten long ago.
The more perceptive among those nearby might feel something: a small, latent tug in the Force. The tug of a confused, lost individual, one that felt old and powerful but also quiet and afraid.
These were the signals of a survivor, but only one.
