Travot idly watched as a half dozen padawans filtered in. Many would hardly fit the stereotypes of padawans popularized on the holo-dramas - different fashions, different choices for tools, and even different ages.
The galaxy is hardly as uniform as many people would like it to be...and our padawans reflect that...I...I reflect that too. When the last padawan entered, Travot flicked a switch on the table, causing the conference room door to whisk shut. Nomor stood at the exit and offered a curt if polite nod - the silent signal to start the briefing.
Travot, wearing a simple brown robe over his plate armor, stood up, acutely aware of how cramped the room was for a person of his physique. The man's eyes flittered over
Madison Starr and
Dagos Terrek
, both of whom he had met in action at Cato Neimoidia, before briefly settling on
Amanda
, who he had briefly met prior at the Silver Rest. His old padawan, the young Nautolan Lanyria, was also present - the trials coming would be one of the few things she needed before being considered for the knighthood. He cleared his throat.
"
Greetings, everyone. For those who I have not met me, I am Master Travot Ravenna..."
He tapped a button on the table's control, causing light to coalesce in front of them to form a mottled ball of blue and brown, covered occasionally by clouds.

This is Bimmisaari, lately conquered by the Bryn'adul Empire before being abandoned by them only a few months ago. While we have managed to turn the atmosphere into something breatheable again, the world is not what it once was. It is mostly abandoned, save for remnants of the Bryn'adul and opportunistic...underworlders as some of you might call them. As such, we need to do a brief safety briefing before any of us set foot on the planet.
We will be landing at what was the Glastros Intergalactic Spaceport. Once landed, we will all make our way to the Silver Jedi Hostel there - that is the only location on the world that has been fully explored and secured. The facilities there are largely intact or restored - you can get a fresh meal there that's not ship food, chat with the others in the common room, or find a quiet bed and bunk for yourself if you want some rest. While you all do that, myself and the others will be setting up your challenges in the areas around the spaceport. You should all received my comlink channel and those of the other proctors if you need to get ahold of us during that time. If you choose to leave that area, which I do not recommend unless it's an emergency, make sure you are armed or with someone who is armed. I would suggest that you be armed as well - the surviving Bryn'adul aren't known for taking quarter. Once set-up is complete, you will all randomly be assigned one of the challenges that we have prepared for you. We will let you know in advance if we recommend any equipment at that time, but I recommend looking around the ship now or grabbing your personal belongings if it's something you feel particular about now. Once everyone has finished or attempted their challenge, we will reconvene at the Hostel before returning to the ship.
We are set to land at the Spaceport within one hour. Does anyone have any questions or concerns?"
