Location: Orbit of Okarthel
It hung before them like grand emerald, various hues of greens with small streaks of blue rivers and white clouds. Framed perfectly against the dark void of space. This emerald was a planet known as Okarthel, a vast jungle world that was lost to the galaxy for over eight hundred years. Until its recent rediscovery through the notes left by the original discoverer of the planet, Dr. Declan Carter. His notes contained detailed information on his ten year stay on the planet. From local flora and fauna, to the native species of Kiir. Okarthel was an untouched treasure trove of discovery for any research team willing to brave its jungles. The planet's discovery was short lived, however, as the Gulag plague struck the galaxy. Dr. Carter was one of the victims of the plague and his notes were all but forgotten. Hundreds of years later, his notes were found by sheer chance and Okarthel's location was revealed once more.
Amongst the new explorers was a young teen, with wide excited eyes as she gazed in wonder at the planet through the ships view port. She was almost bouncing from one barefoot to the other as the anticipation built. Out of everyone on the expedition, she was the most excited of them all. The reason was simple, she was Kiir and this was the home world of her species. She had never even been to this planet in her life, in fact she didn't even know what species she was until the rediscovery of Carter's notes. This expedition was more then just the exploring a new planet, she was literally finding out who and what she was. At the moment the anticipation was killing her, but she also knew they needed to get planet side. Before that, however, they had to get everything prepped and ready for landing.
Tearing her gaze from the view port, she darted down the hallway. She wove in and out of people and droids, making sharp turns at record speeds. Finally, arriving at the hangar where shuttles were being loaded with cargo, vehicles, and other needed supplies. Scientists, crew members and Jedi alike hurried about to make sure everything was good to go. Milla made her way to the center of the hangar and waited for the last of the shuttles to be loaded and final meeting to be called. She purposely placed herself near the shuttle she was sure was touching down first. When they reached planet side, she wanted to be one of the first to set for on Okarthel.
