In the distant reaches of the Outer Rim, a mysterious signal emerges from the distant Voxx Cluster. The signal carries the encrypted signature of an ancient Jedi distress beacon, lost for centuries. The Galactic Alliance assigns the 303rd Pathfinder unit, accompanied by a Jedi contingent, to investigate the origin of this enigmatic transmission.
As they venture into the heart of the Voxx Cluster, they must navigate through treacherous asteroid fields. As they do, they encounter a dense nebula that disrupts their communication systems. The swirling gas clouds have made visual navigation near-impossible.

Colesar, for his part, was largely indifferent. The small flight of vessels had traveled thus far without problem, what was a little communications hiccup? Just a cog in the machine, he kept telling himself. Adjusting the headset over his ears, he listened intently. The 303rd Task Force had arrived in system nearly an hour ago but ever since then their travel had been slow. Asteroids, scanner malfunctions, and intermittent communications between the ships of their force had been stymieing. Even now, some of the Jedi had been conscripted by the pilots to help guide them through the treacherous asteroid cluster towards their destination - the source of a mysterious signal. From the distance at which it had been detected there was no way of knowing exactly what it was other than that it was consistent.
In part, that's why the Jedi had been contacted. More luck than intuition had indicated that the signal was using an old Jedi cipher to transmit... something, data? A request? A message? It was too hard to tell but if it was an ancient Jedi signal then they were bound to investigate.
They'd picked up the signal the moment they'd arrived in system. A short time later, the Jedi had discovered it was indeed a message, albeit not one any of them wanted to hear. A distress signal. It had put a damper on the mission, set jaws and tensed shoulders were common. Whatever was here had caused the Jedi to send a distress signal which meant it was probably something bad.
"We're getting something on scanners.. no.. wait, it's just static. Nevermind."
"No, there's something there! Look!"
"There's no way... how long has this been hiding here?"
Voices cluttered the comms as an image was shared among the crew. A planetary body ahead. More of a moon, really. Small. Obscured by the swirling gasses of the nebula. It was no wonder that it had been uncharted, no doubt on purpose but also by circumstance. The fact that the task force had managed to navigate thus far was a testament to the skills of the Jedi and the pilots at the helm. Colesar felt the deck plating shift beneath his feet as the ship descended towards the moon, hand gripped firmly at the combat netting inside the small troop bay.
More data came through, a small description of what lie ahead. Through collaboration with the Jedi and what data they managed to scrape up from the scanners, the consensus was that the signal was emanating from what could only be described as ancient Jedi outpost. That explained the signal itself as well as the message. What would the Jedi have been doing way out here though? Why was the outpost hidden inside of a nebula? All questions running through everyone's minds. A voice cut through the thoughts, over the comm.

"It's safe. Remove your enviro-gear gents." The burly voice of Sergeant Vorla cut clearly through the air. Thank fate, thought Colesar as he reached up and removed the bulky hood. "Signals are pretty fucked, keep your spacing tighter than normal. We've got a bearing of 030, maybe a kilometer or two at most. Keep it single file on me." It had been an interesting endeavor, figuring out the chain of command, not only for the 303rd but in light of the Jedi present, any number of people could have claimed leadership - thankfully, all of that had been addressed en route. This was first and foremost a military operation, a reconnaisance mission, therefore it was the 303rd that would pilot this shuttle. Of course, situations were fluid and so there was always room for adjustment should the need arise.
"You lot, scatter yourselves along the line if you would - never know when y'alls sixth sense might come in handy," he said towards the Jedi in their midst. You'd never get him to admit it but the Sergeant was a little bit jealous of the Jedi and their connection the what they called the Force. Only connection he'd ever felt was the one between his finger and the trigger. Each to their own purpose, he supposed.
Scanners were practically useless but Colesar found himself lugging around the excess weight anyway. They wouldn't do much in terms of distance but who knew what it was going to be like once they got where they were going. Looking at the terrain, he bit the inside of his lip. Mountains, thick brush, and dense jungle lay before them. It would take them at least an hour to get through - and that was if they were hauling ass. There was nothing for it however, here they were. Putting left foot in front of right, he set off behind the Sergeant.
In a single file line they traversed towards the source of the signal, boots churning the wet soil as they marched ever closer to their destination.

Hello! As a heads up, this is not a "DM/GM'd" thread, build story around the other writers and the general premise! I intend that there are multiple entrances to this forgotten outpost and pirates scattered throughout so have fun and go wild! If there's too many people in a certain area, feel free to break free and go into an unexplored area and make up what you'd like! The most important bit is to have fun!
See the OOC Thread for additional info/intended overall arc and build your story around that! I have included the general "Narrator Text" below for reference!

In the distant reaches of the Outer Rim, a mysterious signal emerges from the distant Voxx Cluster. The signal carries the encrypted signature of an ancient Jedi distress beacon, lost for centuries. The Galactic Alliance assigns the 303rd Pathfinder unit, accompanied by a Jedi contingent, to investigate the origin of this enigmatic transmission.
As they venture into the heart of the Voxx Cluster, they must navigate through treacherous asteroid fields. As they do, they encounter a dense nebula that disrupts their communication systems. The swirling gas clouds have made visual navigation near-impossible.
Upon reaching the coordinates of the signal, the Pathfinder unit discovers a forgotten Jedi outpost. The outpost, now overgrown with alien vegetation, holds ancient holocrons and relics that could reshape the understanding of the Force. However, signal artifacts have appeared on short range scanners suggesting they may not be alone.
The Pathfinders and the Jedi face the dual challenge of navigating the hostile terrain of the outpost while dealing with the possible threat of other lifeforms, likely marauders. The Pathfinder unit must use their combat skills, tactical expertise, and the Jedi the Force, to outmaneuver the hostiles, all while avoiding triggering ancient security systems within the outpost.
As they delve deeper into the outpost's chambers, the Pathfinder unit uncovers a darker secret. The ancient Jedi distress signal was a desperate plea for help against an unknown and ancient darkness lurking in the shadows of the Voxx Cluster. The team realizes that they are not only dealing with pirates but also facing a formidable ancient adversary that hungers for the power contained within the Jedi outpost.
With time running out and the threat growing, the team must decide whether to retrieve the artifacts and risk awakening a dormant evil or abandon the outpost to prevent the ancient darkness from escaping into the galaxy once more. The Pathfinder unit faces a moral dilemma and a race against time as they strive to protect the secrets of the Jedi and prevent a catastrophic resurgence of the dark side.
