Welcome to the Jungle.

[Not Ordo]

[SIZE=medium]Uncharted Jungle Planet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Just east of the central mountain range[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]The tall broad figure held tightly to one of the many tall thick jungle trees with one hand as he stood on a branch just high enough to watch the orange sun slowly dip into the horizon. It was his custom to watch the large luminary disappear each day and then meet it as it returned each morning. His thick black hair was tied back tightly on his head revealing his grey-violet skin and pointed ears. His coal black eyes squinted against the fading light, as he watched yet another day end. How long had he been here since he was marooned? If he could count it and give it a number the realization would likely drive him mad. The number had never really mattered here. Neither did the reason he had come. All that mattered was living to see tomorrow, and for centuries that was all he had done. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]He waved a final farewell as the last of the sun dipped away and then quickly picked his way back to the jungle floor. Unlike the upper and mid canopy the jungle floor was misty, hot and dangerous. Kalordo looked at the trail that had been made over time and ran along to his dead transport home and began his fire that would cook tonight’s meal and give him light until morning. His primitive clothes were well made for what he had. His boots were made of animal furs while his loin cloth and vest were taken from the skins of a local lizard. Kalordo crouched by the fire and slipped three large fish onto a spit and began turning them over the fire as the stars began to appear in the night sky. He wondered as they twinkled if he would ever see another creature before his inevitable death. He had seen crashes over the years and once seen a ship fly close only to leave again, but he hadn’t spoken to another intelligent creature since his fourth year of life, and he wondered what he would say.

[Haven Pryde]

Haven's CC-7700 had come to the unknown planet with the belief that it held onto secrets, it had the faint whisper of the dark side to it and the piratess always loved that whisper, since she was a young girl on hoth she always felt the glow and whisper of both the light side and dark side, it came to her as second nature to listen to the dark side while basking in the light sides radiance. Her ship orbited the planet on this lonely eve and she departed her quarters with one thing in mind...she would uncover whatever the secrets of the planet was.

As Haven got into the drop ship she waited for her body guard and femme fatale, once all inside the drop ship departed and they all headed toward the planet surface, it is such a weird site as it is a planet in which is covered by forests, almost like kashyyke or endor... but different since endor is more of a dwarf planet and kashyyke is so far away from this ones location, the site of the planet is one of marvelous spectrums since it has a ring around it and it is primarily a jungle world...what an awesome site indeed.

(OOC I'll arrive on the surface of the planet next post.)

[SIZE=medium]Kalordo slowly turned the spit on which his three fish hung suspended over the hot fire. His lean body was not unlike a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, but he was completely devoid of any intentional modifications that had once characterized his people. The smell of the cocking fish wafted on the breeze that blew through the clearing where his father’s once transport had crashed ages ago. Kalordo had kept the jungle back from retaking the area, daily lopping back vines before hunting for breakfast, and monthly burning the area to keep the ground from sprouting. He didn’t really know why he had taken up the custom, perhaps he still held some inward desire for rescue, or more likely so he could watch the stars while he rested. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]As He pulled the fish from the spit dropping them on the flat table like stone where he had eaten countless times he looked up and thought of the peoples who must live beautiful lives without suffering or imbalance among such beautiful stars. He could not imagine that any of the advancements that must be constant in the galaxy could be any less than wonderful. Unlike his world which was constant struggle for balance, the “civilized” worlds must be utopian indeed. Surely even his own race had turned away from war and conquest by this time. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]As he gazed out and popped a strip of fish into his mouth he saw another of the stars move. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]<< Ship? >> He croaked in his Yuuzhan Vong dialect from a throat that rarely had reason to speak aloud at all. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]The bright object halted taking an orbit steady orbit and a flash near it caught his eye. He had rarely seen a ship pass, and nearly seen any who came near intentionally. The few that he had seen close up were all crashed and with no survivors, and all near the dark caves in the mountainous regions nearby. Kalordo kept eating his fish as he watched the ship and wondered if it meant to get closer, and if finally after so many years he was to be rescued. [/SIZE]

The drop ship slowly descended upon the planet's surface and quietly searched the horizon for any and all threats to the inhabitants of the drop ship, as her crew made the necessary adjustments to their own weapons and gadgets she looked out toward the world she was descending upon, as her gaze fell upon the forested world she smirked and took in the marvelous site as it beheld many secrets, one of which she would soon meet face to face...

She knew there was one potential problem on this world, since she can feel the currents of the dark side looming over the horizon, the rogue recently severed a gods leg and beat a sith knight all before earning her spot among one of the galaxies more dangerous and to top it all off, she is a pirate...so this endless game of cherades with the dark side is not unfamiliar, she was born to a Jedi Master and a Sith Dark Lord, all those years ago she lost them due to their sacrifice for her and as it is she still looks for answers and the truth about why they were killed, the half diathim searched the galaxy for why her own parents were killed not knowing the real reason was deeper in her own blood, and was...and had always been closer than she could have ever thought.

She is from a race of angels that are said to have unsurmountable beauty and are the ones that are spoken about in myths, visiting spacers as they pass away and leading them to the heavens above.... and the occasional healing of hearts and souls to make the being saved more pure, the diathim was not only a mysterious race but also something that was needed galaxy wide, but this day she fought against the dark side that her own body is so sensitive to, as the drop ship continues to descend she is teased by the force into knowing there is something here, something among the forests that has been here for a while, something that waits for a rescue. Whatever it is it should be barely a threat and not something she intends to fight, so if she can she will employ diplomacy instead of violence...hopefully that'll be enough to avoid needless violence.

Moments later the drop ship lands on the dirt surface and her own femme fatale and body guard flank her as she exits the drop ship and waits for her command.

Kalordo watched the light move across the dark sky and disappear behind the tall trees. It could have just been a meteor but his hope was that it wasn't. He sat quietly and finished his meal of fish and small black cluster berries, then stood stretched and picked up his wooden staff. The smell of his meal had drawn lager things close. The smell of a jungle feline had gotten stronger in the last 5 minutes and the creatures all had to be taught that this place was off limits to them. Kalordo went inside his dead transport and picked up his bone and leather mask. The mask was a simple thing that covered his face and was adorned with various small teeth and bones. He tied it on and put on a bone chest piece over his vest. Following that were his bone shin guards which completed his hunting garb and he crawled out the top of the transport to await the feline opponent.

The green and black striped felines were about 2.5 meters from nose to tail and 1 meter at the shoulder, but they were easily frightened. Kalordo waited for only ten minutes before the beast appeared from the jungle underbrush. Kalordo watched as it drew close then lept...
