This thread is open to people who are willing to go the long haul and continue to the end. I hope to have pleanty of disasters, droids and people to kill as well as a few... 'treasures' to give out.
~~~~~~~
Legend has it that on a crashed ship on Shili, one that is thousands upon thousands of years old, there exists a treasure. No one knows what this treasure is, and hundreds upon thousands of treasure hunters have come to claim this piece of 'shiny' year after year. The ship itself belongs to an old empire dating thousands of thousands of years ago, at most one million years, from what the people tell us.
This time, one particular group of treasure hunters have come to this site, looking for adventure as well as possible clues to the civilization that created the hulk that now rests imbedded within the soil it dug it's own grave upon.
Our tale starts a day's journy from the wreck, as our adventurers gather near a Togruta Village to gather supplies. The ship itself is known as the "Hollow Mountain." Most people have never seen the inside, though all peoples around have seen the outside. It is as big as a mountain, probably bigger, since at least half of the massive ship is hidden underground. As a consequence of this ship's landing, the piece of earth it gouged out behind it as it came to a halt has become a long teardrop shaped lake, and due to the... unusual construction methods of the ship itself, this lake has become known as the 'Crystal Lake'.
The ship itself is constructed from crystal. To be specific, crystal capable of being manipulated like an organic piece of flesh. However, this ship's hull was designed with the crystal on the outside, as a skin to the metalic sheath that shields the inside. When the wreck was fresh, raiders had come to try and pilfer the magnificant treasure that was said to be inside.
Once they had entered the hulk, they wern't seen to have exited, and since then the legend only grew. It spoke of the treasure that no one could recover, of the massive amounts of wealth that supposedly were contained within the mountain ship, and with each team or individual to enter and never to come out, the legend grew.

Ahh, adventure. You don't get adventure like this working at Temple.
Ano'Sken "Blink" Neilo, Jedi knight extraordinair, was sitting off to one side of a comforting fire out in the middle of the grasslands of the planet Shili. For her it was home, or at least as close to home as she could come. The tribe in which she originated lay upon the other side of the planet from her, and she wanted to go and meet them face to face after having grown up, though she was sure she wouldn't be recognized after all these years.
Still, as she sat there with her back resting upon her travel pack, her sightless eyes open and glittering slightly from the fire light, she reveled in being back upon her home planet, after completing her lightsaber all those years ago. She could hear the other's banter, the people she had brought along for the fun, as well as a few she had brought from various villages around the area.
While she couldn't bring her bike along since it was only a one seater, she brought along a multiple person vehicle called a "Mule", and her back was currently to it as she stared at the fire. Inside her mind, she was looking at the stars, seeing their radiance as bright as if they were fireflies floating over head. Her staff was beside her on the ground, her saber safely inside her sheath she had made for it.
Her clothing was typical of a Togruta woman of her age upon this planet, and since they were around the equater, that meant light clothing. Light vest with undershirt, skirt with the tool belt she wore normally, as well as boots with numerous pouches for things that wouldn't be damaged by joustling.
