ARC outta Time
[SIZE=10.5pt]Space, the final frontier. Used by all space faring people, necessary for trade between planets, and filled with horrors and unknowns. Often time ships are lost to the void, either through error of the crew, damages taken in battle, or something else unknown. It was here in the void that an old [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]Raider-class corvette[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] drifted through space. Somewhere between the Inner Rim and the Expansion Region it floated (left side of the map).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]It was far from any planet, but still close enough that the pings it sent into the void could be heard. The ship had been silent for a long time, longer than it should've been, but its time was nearing an end. That's why it had begun to send pings out 2 days before, hoping that someone would hear, and someone would come and get the deadly cargo that was on board. All the while it sent pings into the void while proudly proclaiming its name, Dominus.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]For anyone who knew where to look, that name would reveal things. Mainly that it had once served the Galactic Empire, and that it had vanished near the start of the Empire. Its cargo? None but the Emperor would know, and he was long dead and thus couldn't tell. However, scans of the ship would reveal 4 lifeforms, all concentrated in one area. They were all in the storage room, and the lifesigns were distorted, as if something was interfering with the operations.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]The storage room lies at the center of the ship, and within it are 4 cryo pods. They are equally spaced from one another, 2 on each side of the rather spacious room. Upon each cryo pod is 1 prominent symbol, that of the Galactic Republic. However, it’s a mixture of the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire symbol. It’s the symbol that came out at the end of the Clone Wars and beginning of the Galactic Empire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Within each pod is a figure, each identical save for some markings and weapons. They all wear black armor with red markings, armor that is experimental phase 2 clone trooper armor (still has the fin). That coupled with one other notable feature, they each have some sort of hood on their helmets. It covers the fin on their heads and whatever symbols they may have on their upper helmets. Except one, with one some jagged points can be seen at the bottom of the hood, looking very similar to the Jaig Eye symbol. That same man has hazard stripes on his forearms.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]The lifesigns come from these 4 pods, slowly and steadily. Aside from them, there wasn’t any sign of life anywhere else on the ship. All the other occupants were dead, their remains were here and there. In the bridge, they had all died at their stations, in the corridor’s guards lay crumbled and dead, naught but bones and some armor pieces, but nothing of value. Along with that, everywhere in the ship lights flickered at random, there was only minimum power on, so gravity was lower than normal too.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]In fact, the only room where power was constant was the cargo hold, and thus the cryo pods. Within the cargo hold there was one prominent console, and connected to it were the 4 cryo pods. On the console itself were several buttons, but there was one main green button in the middle. The script on it looked like it could say open, but for what wasn’t fully clear, at least not without some thinking. But that was irrelevant, the green button in the middle basically called to be pushed, to be allowed to reveal its function, and the horror it would unleash.[/SIZE]
