• First reply thread: open to anyonr
• Could be a passenger on the transport or I could edit the opening post for you to be the villain.
• It's a rip off of Pitch Black. Dangerous prisoner on a ship, they are going to crash on Dxun moon, a world of monsters.
• They have to survive and try and retrieve the prisoner

It was the kind of transport ship where passenger comfort had never been on the mind of the design team. Every inch had a particularly industrial feel. There were bare mental bulkheads and the lighting never quite drove the shadows out of the corners.

Still, Xandyr reflected, if it was uncomfortable up front then it was worse in the back where his prisoner was held. The bounty hunter strode down a narrow corridor to a heavy door. It half opened when he pulled the lever down, pausing before sliding the rest of the way. An old, industrial and failing ship.

Xandyr's ship had been grounded. Having caught his bounty he was forced to bring them back on a transport ship.

Xandyr stepped into the small cargo bay. One of several on the freighter. His bounty looked up at him.

His skin was pallid, eyes yellowed. Clear signs of addiction to the dark side of the Force. His hands and feet were bound if heavy, durasteel clamps. A mask completely covered the bottom half of his face.

There was no taking risks when it came to transporting a live sith warrior. He hadn't been easy to catch alive. He would tear this ship apart if he broke free.

"Well you're still alive," Xandyr confirmed. His reply was, as expected, silence.

Xandyr walked away and closed the door behind him. He was just three steps away when the alarms stared blaring.

It had been a long time since the Association had made a presence in this region , in the Jarapel System. The Last time they had set foot in the region was when they had attempted to kidnap some Female Teenage Mandalorian as retribution for that Girl's Mother's attack on allies of the Association's Predecessor , the now-defunct Imperial Directorate. While it was a long-time ago , the presence of the well-known Clan Australis had kept the Directorate's Successor , the Association from entering in contact with the Mandalorian Union despite the potential for an Alliance with them though with all the time that had passed , many believed that the Mandalorians moved on and would simply forget about what happened on Dxun.

Nevertheless today , the mysterious operative of Senator Reginald Orian of Byss known only as "The Commissioner" had finally managed to track down and locate the Bounty Hunter/Assassin known as Xandyr. For sometime now , the Commissioner had been recruiting individuals into the Politorate's Bloodstone Group having recently engaged in talks with reknown Shockboxer Salvor King on Denon. Only shortly after that meeting , some of the Commissioner's Agents had given him a report on yet another potential recruit for the Bloodstone Group known as Xandyr.

According to a rapid Background Profile Check , Xandyr had once been a Special Forces Operative of the Second Galactic Alliance during their War with the One Sith but deserted upon witnessing the brutality of the ancient conflicts between the Jedi and Sith , eventually becoming a Jedi/Sith Hunter aiming to reduce the presence of Force-Sensitives in the Galaxy. His Mission greatly impressed the Commissioner due to the resemblance between Xandyr and the Hidden Leader of the Association who himself held a grudge against the Jedi and Sith after both Force-Sensitive Groups betrayed him and were directly responsible for his downfall. Having a man like Xandyr in the Bloodstone Group would be a huge advantage and would benefit the Association alot especially given his motives.

And so on board the Stalker [A Modified Constance-Class Patrol Ship (Has it's Hanger Space reserved for Support Craft and not Fighter Craft)] , the Commissioner had followed the Assassin to Dxun where he intended to meet up with the Assassin upon the delivery of his recent target a Sith Warrior. He hoped that with such a meeting he could convince the Assassin to join the ranks of the Bloodstone Group and help the Association establish a perfect order in the Core Worlds free from both the Jedi and their Democratic-loving pawns. However what he did not know was that this was going to get way more complicated in a few minutes...
