Mytaranor Sector | Kashyyyk System

Allara Ven was currently cursing out the Force and everything apart of it. She had stolen a starfighter from scavenger near Nal Hutta. An Ugly, it seemed, as was a mismatched piece of junk. One who's hyperdrive had gone up in smoke. She had been wanting to go to Dathomir, a place that she considered her true home. She seethed with the Dark Side as more of the junker ship's systems started to fail.

"Karking piece of Sith-spit!" She growled, motioning the controls toward the planetary surface of Kashyyyk.

She knew where the ship had decided to drop her out of. Smack dab in Jedi territory, but it was either deal with some Jedi and mangy Wookiees or die a smoldering death inside of the malfunctioning junk. The ship rattled as she plunged into the atmosphere. As soon as it dove into the sky, a stablizer blew off, creating a loud bang in the air. The ship skipped across the trees of the area before finally thundering to the ground to a halt. Being rattled, the Witch growled, taking off her seat belt and igniting one blade of her lightsaber, cutting her way out of the effective scrap pile. Yet, she knew she would not have gone unnoticed. The sound of the hard landing was loud enough to be heard for kilometers. Yet, any Force-sensitives would recognize her presence in the Force. One heavy with darkness and anger. She needed to get off this jungle world.

I'm happy that you are safe") The Jedi Master would speak, placing a hand on the shoulder of the taller Wookiee, who now had much blacker, almost greyer hair from the last time he had seen him. It had been... How many years now? About five or six, perhaps? He remembered the Wookiee well, of course. Josh had been a Jedi Knight when he had first met Sten'darr. He had been a much younger man then, with no facial hair, no beard, he'd been a clean shaven young man that was barely into his twenties. As for Sten'darr... The Wookiee had been taken captive by slavers, and on his own homeworld, to boot! The Republic's Jedi Order had sent for a group of Jedi to stop this before it could go any further, and it just happened that Knights Josh DragonsFlame and [member="Tallia Farn"] were in the area close enough to answer the call. The two had freed the slaves, and in turn, Josh had made a friend in the Wookiee Sten'darr.

Of course, Josh's shoulder pat was outdone by the Wookiee Sten'darr. The Wookiee would wrap it's big furry arms around the Jedi Master in a big bear hug. Josh couldn't help but laugh in turn, and the Wookiee would speak once it had put the Jedi down.

"Caowowh'wararcrc, ahao acrac rhwowowh ohoowhwaworcwwhuan cwowoahwhrr rooohu rarrraahwh, ooanwa wwrcahwowhwa. ah'sc acraakakro aoacraao rooohu rarcwo crawwwo" ("Master Jedi, it has been a great pleasure to see you again. You are welcome anytime to my village. Please visit again soon") The Wookiee would speak in turn, and Josh nodded his head. "I will" He would respond. The Jedi had been here on a simple scouting mission, and had decided to visit his old friend's village while he was here. Of course, it was time for him to go, and report back to the Silver Assembly. He wished he could stay longer, but...

An explosion would suddenly get their attention, and Josh would hold out a hand to the Wookiee. "Let me scout it out" Josh would remark. "You be ready to get your village to safety. You are the Chief now, Sten'darr. You have to care for your people."

Indeed, the Wookiee had become the Chief of his village in the time they had been apart. It was a clear example of how far one could go with the right efforts... From the lowest of the low... To the highest of the high. And Josh was proud of his old friend for it.

With that, the Jedi would slip into the Current, being unable to be seen, and would head toward the site of the crash...
