Selena Halcyon
Jedi Master
In Transit to Nyriaan
Selena had been baffled by the order to take charge of the Shadows. As far as she knew, this was the first time a Shadow had been placed over the collective group of Shadows. Typically, they had answered directly to the council, or some other authoritative body. But this was also a new time in the galaxy, where things were just starting to come together after the 400 years of darkness. A lot was changing because of that fact. She was surprised also because she was not a master, but she was not one to argue. If the council saw her worthy of the position, then she would handle it with diligence and care.
Upon getting the charge she set her eyes to seeking out an artifact, though potentially far more than that, she had read about. It was a lost Oubliette, and one that had a name tied to it. It had been used by Darth Glovoc, a Sith Lord that dated back to the ancient Jedi Civil War. It had gone missing long ago, and the last rumors about it were about six hundred years old. But if it had survived the thousands before that, then it could very well have survived the last six hundred. It was a potentially problematic item, because of what it could contain, so she wanted to see it contained.
While not the norm by any stretch of the imagination, she had gathered a team of Shadows to hunt it out. Typically Shadows worked as individuals, but in rare instances they did come together as teams. Both had their advantages. Alone they were better able to not draw attention to themselves, however, this had far higher risks. From the temptation of the artifacts they hunted, to the threats around them. Teams drew more attention, but were safer and could hold one another accountable. Given the location they were heading to, it just made sense for a team to be gathered.
Nyriaan, the last known location of the oubliette, was in a troublesome sector of the galaxy. It was near Mandalorian space, which was good, but it was also rather close to Sith space. Given that they were hunting for an artifact with Sith origin, it was at least plausible they could find themselves entangled with the Sith.
Selena Halcyon found herself seated in the cabin area of the transport the team was in. Her eyes looked over information on a datapad. Around the ship were other shadows that had been asked to come. She imagined that some of those on board might feel a little strange. After all, there had been no meeting prior to the ship leaving. Selena did not like meetings. No, all of them had received the same document on their datapad with details about the mission and when they were leaving. Given that all had arrived more or less on time, she assumed they had read it.
Greetings my fellow shadows,
I am building a team to go after the lost oubliette of Darth Glovoc, and you have been chosen for the task. While a simple stasis chamber is not much of a cause of concern on its own, this one has gained my attention because of its potential contents. Darth Glovoc himself may still be alive within it, given that the chamber is quite well designed and is capable of keeping someone alive for thousands of years. For those of you who have not heard of him: he was an ancient Sith Lord during the Jedi Civil War who had a rather keen gift for seeing the future. He was a military commander at the time and evidently rather gifted and influential. No records exist of him leaving the oubliette, so it is safe to assume that he is likely still in it. Should he be, that alone is a threat to the peace of the galaxy, but more still if the Sith Empire finds him and he joins them. The last known location of the oubliette is the planet of Nyriaan, which is where we will be heading to first to try and locate it or pick up any leads as to where it could be. The planet has its own risks, and is rather close to Sith space which is why a team is being gathered for this. Information on the environment is attached to this document, I recommend you read up on it.
We depart at dawn this coming Benduday from hanger bay 6.
May the Force be with you till then,
Jedi Knight Selena Halcyon

While she had read about the planet at least a dozen times before, she kept on reading the information on it while she waited for the transport to enter the atmosphere, a moment she was not looking forward to. The idea of having her ability to sense the force disrupted, even if for a time seemed frightening to her. And the risks in landing also troubled her, but not as much. Regardless, she waited and read.
