Mek-Sha | Stars' End Cantina

A wrinkled hand lifted up a small glass of poorly aged whiskey as a Rodian went flying across his table.

In all fairness, the vulgar bastard deserved it. When dining in an establishment such as this one, it was wise not to go around and start making comments about certain planets that were lost to the Bryn'adul. More often than not, an individual who lived on that planet was drowning their sorrows with the grimy, stained walls of the cantina. Drunken words were exchanged by the both of them. But sure enough, it was the Rodian who now lay unconscious on the floor, blood seeping from their nose. In his youth Kole would have checked on the person. Made sure they were alright...or even still alive. That time had come and passed. One could not become a successful historian if they became panicked at the sight of injury or danger. And from where he was sitting, the man could see that the individual would be fine. For the most part.

Yet Kole was not here to explore what's on tap and cheer on courageous drunkards. He was here to recruit. Word was beginning to spread of an old Silver Jedi Concord and Bryn'adul war site that had been discovered on the planet Yurb. Last anyone had heard, the planet was still riddled with active explosives, as if the battle was still going on. This deterred even the bravest scavenger. Through all of this though, a crime organization somehow managed to find a secure spot on the planet to set up shop. Called "The Exchange", they were tearing down old starships and selling their tech through the Black Market. Multiple camps had been set up all across the surface, allowing them to make quite the profit. But this is where things got interesting. According to one of Kole's underworld contacts, the organization was slowly losing its grip on Yurb. Numbers were growing thin. Guards became thin, security was becoming relaxed, thus leaving a few of these sites open to explore.

Now the aging spacer had no use in selling whatever technology was in there. The University of Coruscant paid him enough credits as is to live a comfortable life. This mission was purely for historical purposes. Kole hoped that there were still enough remnants of the war intact to be able to preserve them in museums all across the Core Worlds. A decades old war, now being taught about extensively in classrooms. It was a historian's dream. He would collect a certain number of items and store them on his ship, Fortune and Glory. There would still be plenty for the other crew members to take and do with as they please. To be honest, if it were up to Kole, he would be doing this by himself. But time was no longer a friend of the man, and he was not as spry as he used to be. The crews' payment would be whatever they choose to take, no questions asked.

So that is why he waited here, in the back of the cantina. Setting his whiskey glass back down, he just hoped that there would be some spacers brave enough to join him.

Hey y'all! This is a going to be a scavenger thread for all spacers/underworld types. It will involve flying to the planet Yurb and trying to collect as much technology as you can. Please remember that you'll still need permission to use any SJC/Bryn tech in other threads, but this can be an in-character reason that you wound up having that item! Both the wreckage site and The Exchange are things that I have helped create, so write with them however you want (within reason). There will be some light NPC opposition that I will help DM. Once on the surface though, y'all can take some control and decide how you want to fight them. All in all, this thread is here to help reignite interest in the Spacer Guild/Scar Worlds as a whole. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Also big props to Atlas Drake Atlas Drake , Yula Perl Yula Perl , and Junker Jonn Junker Jonn for the Spacer Guild/Scar Worlds subs and art!
 
Here she was out in the 'verse on her own. Again.

Yet this was no time to reflect why Xin hadn't been joining her on these little outings. Right now she had to focus ; a meeting at the Stars' End Cantina. Word had come through various spacers she knew that there was a job to be had. It was near the planet Yurb and not exactly the most friendly of areas. Something about technology - the news she had received on the spacelanes was scattered and not reliable. Thats what tended to happen when word went from person to person to person.

Either way, she had docked her new vessel, a Puddlejumper she had dubed Solitude. Stashed away credits and several freelance mercenary jobs for the Underground had financed the vessel. It was small, old, and not well maintained but all in due time. Besides, she wasn't the best of pilots and the pre-existing dents would cover the ones she was bound to make in the meantime.

Blaster on her thigh, she left the spaceport and made her way to a cantina that was the definition of shady. A few patrons looked in her direction as she entered, but for the most part folks seemed wrapped up in themselves. Except for one. An older gentleman with white hair watching the doorway. Was this the contact? Always the most difficult of these jobs.

Grabbing a Corellian Whisky at the bar, the redhead slid into the booth opposite the spacer. Her back was to the door, a thing she avoided, but it couldn't be helped in this moment.

"Word is the spacelanes is you're looking for someone."

A pair of brown eyes looked ahead as the newcomer entered the bar.

The woman seemed familiar to the historian, but he could not quite place a finger on a name. When you spend as much time travelling the galaxy as he did, some of the faces started to look the same. Maybe that was caused by him spending some much time in old books and holo-recordings. Or maybe it was early onset dementia. Who knew. He obviously did not.

Lifting the glass of whiskey once more to his lips, the man took a long swig as the familiar face sat down across from him. He studied her, searching for any clues to help him remember. Then it hit him. Setting the drink back down, he recalled the job on that strange asteroid. Spacer Guild work, that is what it was. Though he was glad he could figure out where he knew her from, now was not the time to exchange stories. A job awaited them. Hopefully more showed up, but it would not be his first time doing a duo job. Yet when dealing with pirates and crime groups...the more the better.

"That is dependent on who is asking. Have you travelled to old Concord space recently?"

"I'm a horrible pilot. I try to stay out of asteroid fields."


Kole Eckttor Kole Eckttor looked familiar. Then again, when one traveled up and down the hyperlanes like she did, all old grizzled white-haired spacers started to blend together. It was just she ran into a lot of the same types,folks like her looking to escape into a quieter life. Delila supposed she looked more like a washed up war hero with each passing day, looking just like the grizzled spacers she saw from port to port.

A small pause as she took a sip of her whisky. Delila debated what to say next but she could continue to be vague.

"I also hear you need help collecting some bits of technology. I'm good with a hydrospanner and I can tell what is valuable and what is not. I'm just an old woman looking to make a few credits."
