Sor-Jan Xantha
Got Soup?
Ilum.
Even in the days of the Old Republic, it was a world on a far side of the galaxy. With the fractured politics of the current era, a journey to Ilum was perhaps even more perilous. From Ossus, the Jedi had set out for the galactic north, voyaging through neutral territory and into space belonging to an ally of the Republic -- the Mandalorians -- in the old YT-series freighter that had somehow managed to survive the passage of centuries the same as the small Anzat who piloted it. They had stopped over in the Mandalorian world of Aeten II for a reprieve from the confines of the Alderaan Queen, and to resupply the ship before the voyage that would take them along the most dangerous leg of their journey.
The Corellian Jedi had given navigation over to his padawan, allowing Joshua to refine his skills in piloting and hyperspace travel as the group voyaged from Aeten II in a western arc. One which would take them far too close to Sith territory for Sor-Jan's liking. Then again, the fact that the Sith held territory at all was against Sor-Jan's liking.
Their arrival was met by the blast of intense cold. Frost began creeping across the interior corridors near the loading ramp as the moisture in the air began freezing almost the very moment that the hatch was opened upon a world of endless ice. Jagged, crystalline formations and rolling dunes of hard packed snow decorated the landscape before them.
The small, tow-headed boy had exchanged his green robes for a heavy parka and snow boots. Already, the loading ramp was half-buried under snow. And conditions didn't get much better away from the ship, as Sor-Jan's body disappeared almost to the waist when he stepped off the ramp.
Turning back to face the ship, the young knight raised the hood of his heavy coat and motioned with a heavily gloved hand for the padawans to join him. "Stay close, stay together," the boy warned, before turning to start plowing ahead into the icy wrath of a hell which had frozen over.
