Moonage Daydream
The times when he found himself diving off a starship into a scenario that wasn’t filled with the sounds of warfare were terrible rare. Coren Starchaser was turned into the poster boy of warfare from the light side, the thorn in the side of darkness. But since re-awakening from Carbonite years back, he had fallen away from the war that defined him. He had taken up exploration before the founding of the Galactic Alliance. And with the events that have brought the galaxy to the stop they are at now? It wasn’t smart to hold anything back. He had contacted the Jedi Praxeum, the Shattered Order, and the New Republic Jedi for a bit of a training exercise. More an exploration exercise.
He had located an old compass, one that was rumored to be carried by Luke Skywalker before his fall. Found among ruins of Ahch-To, or some other planet. But what he did know was that it lead the way to a number of places. And this unnamed moon was one of them. Planetary scans had showed the remains of some temples in one of the equatorial areas. Among islands. Wood planks and stone work.
Some were flooded, others on what appeared to be an extinct volcano. The Niathal-class shuttle was hovering over one of the drop spots waiting to let its passengers jump off before finding a landing spot on the lee-ward side of the island. Starchaser looked back to the crew. “We’ll hit the water and sink. Scans indicate we do have an entrance, but the droids are turning back, some form of a field… Probably Force interference.” Old tricks died hard, apparently.
He stepped forward, in a neoprene bodyglove to help regulate his temperature. The water was warm, as the area was tropical, but it was going to be a while in the water. Adjusting his mask and rebreather, he checked his lightsaber, a shoto he had constructed some time in the Unknown Regions, and nodded to the rest before stepping off and plunging into the water.

Elsewhere on the Island other teams were landing, base camp was being established with a moderate amount of automated technology for scanning and translating, while other teams were landing near the caldera, and the remains of the temple up there. This was supposed to be used as a training exercise, a blue milk exploration run. The galaxy was a dark place, and this was a temple that anyone could feel was dedicated to the light… mostly. There were shadows in the Force. In the temple around. Other teams were landing, and they would be experiencing their own issues.
OOC: A bit of a DM’d thread. Land, or join Coren in the submerged temple. Its mostly light side feeling but there will be some protective Force spells, and as always, light creates darkness and shadow. Lets have some fun!
