Eclipse Station
The ancient Lambda-Class shuttle settled down on deck H hangar fourty three of Elcipse Station. Old and rusted struts creaking like the screech of a barghest, resounding through the bay loud enough that it made some attendance shiver. An attendant moved over towards the ship, his fingers clutching a data slate. His large Durosian eyes sparkling like the distant stars as he waited for whoever came down the ramp.
His scream was the first to echo out from the Hangar.
It was a sound that carried down the halls of the station.
Drowned out only when his ragged corpse hit the ground, and those who had called him a coworker began to join his ranks. Alarm klaxons began to blare just a few short seconds later, red lights flooding hangar bay fourty three with constant nuisance. Blast doors began to seal themselves shut almost immediately. Security Droids sprang to life, and a stream of security announcements began to flow between screeching alarms.
Somewhere on the station guards who had only ever faced petty criminals began to arm themselves.
Cameras flickered, searching. The pale light of blue screens casting over the faces of security Guards as they searched for the right view. Seconds passed, panic flowing until they found what they searched for. A figure drawn in a black cloak, two horns trailing from his head. His face was adorned with a red mask, though it was clear he looked up at the camera. His arm swung, and the holo-feed cut as something cut through the transmitter.
Seconds later a bright red lightsaber blade stabbed into the first of a dozen bulkheads. Carving a perfect circle to serve as a gate into the station beyond.
