The Temple of Karabor contained a half dozen small hangar bays which could land up to a dozen starfighters and small troop transports each, while a half dozen landing pads were located throughout the grounds of The Temple capable of supporting freighter sized ships. Anything larger would be diverted to the Dearic Spaceport

A small single manned fighter soars into the hangar bay the ship swings around and floats for a moment as repulsorlifts blow the little dust there is off the floor and the vessel slowly descends to land. A moment later there is a snap hiss as the seal of the cockpit is opened and the lone pilot gets out.
The pilot is male with shoulder length silver hair, his eyes almost seem to match his hair, although he wears robes akin to that of the Jedi they do not entirely mask his muscular frame and stature. The man appears to be in his early twenties.
He wets his lips and turns his head scanning the hangar bay for anyone.
Uelis knows that the Knights of Karabor are expecting a Jeid arrival and will by now no of his mission and that it is one of research. In truth he hopes to learn all he can and uncover what the Knights believe in, in the hope that he can once more find a place in the galaxy, tired of the Jedi's narrow view of only protecting close to home, having been to the far reaches Uelis has seen first hand the limit of Jedi authority and interest. He is looking for change and a place where there is truth and help for all.

A pair of Temple Guards stood vigilant in their watch, clad in their signature armour, as the fighter entered the hangar bay and landed. As soon as the pilot disembarked, a ground crew was already moving in to attend to refueling and basic maintenance tasks. Meanwhile, Uelis would not have to wait long, as Zion strode into the hangar bay clad in his dark grey robes and black armour. As soon as the Jedi had started his approach to The Temple, the man's identity and reason for being here had been forwarded by Orbital control. Giving the Grand Master of the Knights something of a heads up about their new guest.
His hood remained pulled down, showing off his slightly more aged features, as he came to a stop a couple feet from Uelis. A few years ago Zion used to look like a much younger man more akin in age to the Jedi. But events of the recent past had set his face to show some signs of his extended life span. He gave a respectful bow then, offering a smile to his new guest
Welcome to the Temple of Karabor, Jedi Knight Inarin. I am Master Morviael, head of the Order here... We don't often have Jedi visitors, perhaps I might be able to help you?

Soon enough Uelis was met. The grey clad figure swept forward his long powerful strides suggested a man of much younger age than his unclad face told.
Uelis bowed respectfully as was common practice amongst Jedi and he hoped Zion wouldn'tbe afronted by this.
"Thank you for receiving me Master Morvial. I will speak both plainly and truthfully." Uelis knew there was no point in attemptig to hide the truth, firstly Uelis was not a deceitfull person, secondly he believed that if he were to build a relationship with the Knights truth was the best path and lastly Zion may be able to detect something was amiss. "I have decided I must begin on a pilgramage of sorts, a journey to find an order that gives my life meaning and purpose. It is recently, since my return from the far reaches that is has become apparent that I find the Jedi Order...... lacking." He paused for a moment after searching for the right word. "I am hoping to discover first hand whether the Knights of Karabor strive to aid the wider galaxy better than the Jedi and achieve a better balance." He hoped that from his words Zion did not find him too forthcoming, he didn't wish to present himself as judge, jury and executioner, however he felt there was little point in beating around the bush.

Zion studied the younger man as he spoke. Uelis' admission that he was on a pilgrimage was certainly not what he had been expecting to hear, but it was not an unwelcome one. No look of surprise or shock could be found on his face, just a friendly smile. The Knights were still a young and growing Order, and accepting those that had become disillusioned with the ways of other Orders was not new. Many that made up their ranks had all belonged to other Orders once before
The life of a Jedi is not for everyone. Their religion is quite... archaic at times. Well, know that you are welcome to stay here as long as you need to make your decision. The Knights of Karabor will not turn away an inquisitive mind looking for a new home... We are a young Order and still growing, so our reach is not quite as far as perhaps the Jedi's is right now. But we seek to expand our Order and at present, aide the Coalition in its fight against the tyranny of the First Order and the Sith... If you would like, I can take you on a tour of the Temple and I will try my best to answer any questions you might have?

He inclined his head in gratitude. As Zion spoke he took in that the Order was relatively new, he wondered were the origins of this order fed by the members of people with similar sentiment to himself. However he noted Zion took pains not to say too much but his manner was one of openness and he invited Uelis on a tour. The first port of call was to establish what he could from the temple and its surroundings.
"A tour would be most welcome."
He fell into step next to the Master and followed his lead.

As The Raven made its approach toward the Temple over the City, the crew kept the Shuttle within the assigned approach vector. Soon enough the gold, cream, and crystal adorned ziggurat like structure came into view, along with the vast gardens that surrounded the Temple. The images in the books and files did not do the Temple credit enough for how beautiful it was in person.
As they come into traffic range of the Temple, a comm request was sent out on the Temple frequency, but no reply was ever received. The pilot carefully guided The Raven in a half hovering sweep of the Temple and Grounds, with all eyes checking for any movement or signal. But no clear signs of life were visible. Valon had been worried this might be the case. He just hoped whoever had once been here had protected the Library and left something behind for him to find.
The Shuttle set down on the empty landing pad closest to the front entrance of the Temple and lowered the ramp. Valon stood with Iresette at the top of the ramp, looking out toward the structure before them
It appears no one is home... Ready little one?

Going from her home world to Ossus had been a weird experience in which the Force had somehow teleported her from one world to another. Valon had speculated ideas about what had happened, and had even examined the archway through which she had travelled. Something about reality folding and wormholes, and something called Hyperspace. It was a lot of concepts she really didn't understand, nor did she think she ever would. Or perhaps she was mistaken and she would become quite familiar with them. What ever the case, her trip between the two worlds had been mostly done without her knowledge. She'd slipped into a deep sleep and hadn't awoken until she had arrived to Ossus.
But her travel from Ossus to Talus had been a very different experience. Valon had introduced her to a lot of things known as technology. Vehicles that could transport people across entire cities and villages with ease that moved without beasts pulling them along. Tales from some far corner of her home world talked of a tribe which achieved similar things with magic crystals. But these landspeeders, as Valon called them, were not powered by magic. Airspeeders had been another type of transportation that she had been introduced to. Which had seemed relatively fine, though some wild weather had left her feeling decidedly unwell. Valon had then introduced her to his ship, a vessel capable of flying through the air, but also sailing through the stars in the sky.
The concept seemed hard to believe, but Valon had assured her it was possible, and that like landspeeders, it worked without magic. A sentiment she shared, in that the take off and landing had felt decidedly unmagical. She spent much of the trip confined to her quarters, feeling an initial sense of apprehension wash over her which did not leave until they landed once more.
She steadied herself by reaching out and grabbing Valon's arm as the ramp lowered and the local air washed into the bay. She felt reinvigorated and slightly sturdier, but she was pretty sure it would take a bit longer to fully recover.
Her attention shifted out to the Temple then. She'd read about it and seen lots of pictures, but none of it compared to seeing it in person. It looked beautiful and untouched. She then shifted her gaze back up to Valon as he spoke
I'm ready...

Iresette had shown herself to be an inquisitive learner with abundant courage for the most part, despite still being quite adolescent compared to most other races. It was something he respected about her: she had a willingness to learn and better herself, despite the harshness of reality which had left her in a coma for several months. For now, his focus was upon teaching her how to control her powers that she had been bestowed. Once she could control it, then he would teach her how to use it in more and more advance applications. Until then, study and practice were important. It was why they were hear, to study those who came before them.
He ushered Ires to the bottom of the ramp where he came to a stop, putting her behind him as loud mechanical activation sounds emanated from two of the nearby statutes. In mere moments, two imposing droids stood before Valon with massive shields for hands. A pair of armour clad figures came striding out of the Temple then and made their way along the path toward the landing pad. Contrary to initial inspection, Karabor was not quite completely abandoned. He just hoped that those who resided here were friends and not foes. He would not risk endangering Iresette by trying to fight these residents should they deny access to the Temple and its archives.
When the two figures at last came to a stop between the droids they offered forth a friendly bow in greeting which Valon returned. So far, so good
Welcome to Karabor traveller, it has been some time since we had a visitor to these hallowed halls...
What is it you seek here?
Valon inspected the pair of guards. Aside from the first Guard's masculine form and the second Guard's feminine form, their equipment was almost identical. He vaguely remembered mention of the Jedi Temple Guards sharing a similar tradition of anonymity
I have come seeking an audience with the Master of this Order of Knights, or failing that, a chance to examine the archives here. Me and my ward are of a people that we believe have shared lineage with those that first built this place...
The pair of guards seemed to glance at one another, no doubt telepathically communicating through the Light. He'd seen others use such methods before to discuss matters in private and had even experienced it himself. It was a strange power, somewhat intrusive at first when you did not know or trust the person yet. But he got the feeling the pair before him had an almost complete trust in one another
Many who once served this Knightly Order have long since passed on or gone missing. Grand Master Morviael was among them... Only us Temple Guards remain... If it is the Archives you wish to visit, then please follow us...
The guards turned around as he statues reverted back to their passive state. Valon placed a hand on Ires' shoulder and followed after the guards as they lead the way across the grounds and into the Temple
