Gravitational waves rippled as the personal Sekotan starship of Master Shaper Mira Yim exited Ossus' atmosphere and took to the cold embrace of the void. Like all sekotan vessels it was fast, hurtling across the vacuum like a skipping stone cast across a pond, accelerating further as its Yuuzhan Vong pilot put the organic vessel through its paces. Its cockpit had an open design leaving it exposed to the ships surprisingly spacious interior, an unusual feature for a freighter sized craft. Most of the interior was dominated by her portable shaperate, or lab as the infidels coined it, without leaving even enough space for a sleeping cusp. Not that she made a habit of sleeping aboard the living vessel. On the rare event she had to, she usually just caught a few winks in the cognition throne that allowed the starship's pilot to form a symbiotic link with it. Currently Mira's head was covered by a tall-yor, also known as a cognition hood, that had adhered to the bare skin around her neck with penetrating hooks of bone.With her mind linked to the system's of the ship, Mira was able to manipulate the dovin basals with a thought, altering the gravimetric frequency to broadcast a signal out beyond the borders of the system. She waited patiently, humming and hawing as she thrummed the various segmented digits of her eight fingered shaping hand on the neuro-console in front of her. After about an hour, the organic craft's sensors detected something approaching from the hyperlane that passed through the system. She watched through the visual feed provided by the hood, which produced direct footage from its external recording biots. What she saw emerge from the corridors of darkspace caused her light blue eye sacs to puff and her sparkling pink mqaaq'it to brighten by several lumens.Drawn by the gravimetric frequency her dovin basals were broadcasting, a school of purrgil appeared, entering the Ossus system in record number. There were hundreds of them, gently moaning into space as they flew in a semi-protective formation, with the young sandwiched between the much larger sows and bulls. Mira stood, rising from the cognition throne but not stepping out of its embrace. She waved her hands through the transparent membrane serving as the cockpit window, greeting the purrgil as they swam through the system. Emerging from crevices in the hull on either side of the rounded cockpit, two arrest tentacles emerged, mimicking the Master Shaper's arm movements. In a sense it was like the ship was waving at the purrgil as well, which got the attention of some of the larger ones. A large sow with poor eye-sight mistook Mira's ship for one of the young in their care and swam towards it, grappling the yorik-coral hull with its large tentacles.Mira nearly stumbled out of her seat, probably would have too were it not for the fleshly tendrils with a suctioning grip on her posterior. Before she knew it, her sekotan starship was pulled into the school, deposited with the other calves playing at the heart of the swarm. Despite the danger, the bioengineering savant let out a giddy laugh, clearly enjoying the experience. She manipulated the ships neuro-circuits to broadcast infant purrgil noises, going along with the charade. It was all fun and games until the purrgil school began to swim towards the massive Empyrean-Class Guardian Space Station in synchronous orbit over Knossa. The oggzil attachment that allowed her onboard villip-choir to intercept and interact with infidel communications frequencies was picking up worried transmissions. Thankfully the officers staffing it were not quick to panic, holding back turbolaser fire for now as the purrgil school passed by the station. Taking the control yoke in hand, she managed to slip her sekotan starship past the protective sows and hovered outside the command centre viewport of the station, once more manipulating the arrest tentacles to wave in way of apology.:: Sorry! Please hold your fire. I've got this well in hand...I think. :: The nose of her starship moved from side to side, almost like it was shaking its head, while the arrest tentacles performed an approximation of a shrug. :: Purrgil, am I right? Okay, thank you! Muah! ❤️ ::The nose of her organic craft seemed to smooch the hull of the space station, before the ship turned and raced after the school of void-bound fish.Eventually, when it became clear to the purrgil that there was no nebulas of Clouzon-36 nearby, the school began to drift back towards the hyperlane they had arrived from. The vacuum shimmered and sparkled as their tentacles began to glow, signalling that they were about to create a simu-tunnel through space. They leapt out of the system, leaving Ossus far behind as they went in search of the gas they needed to survive. Mira was sad to see them go, but the opportunity had allowed her to fill up her qahsa personal device with numerous observations. Maybe next time she would try to get her hands on some of their food supply and attempt to feed them. Her scientific labour for the day completed, she leaned the control yoke forwards and angled her starship back towards Ossus, sliping into the atmosphere shortly after.

An X-wing with locked S-foils slipped out of Ossus' atmosphere, easily outpacing the flow of civilian traffic to and from the planet as it set a course for the EF76 Nebulon-B safely anchored outside the planet's naturally formed gravity well. After entering the Mossflower's hangar, the cockpit canopy of the snub-fighter flipped open and the General climbed out, setting his booted feet on the durasteel deck of the rebel frigate. When he reached the bridge he relived the tynnan sitting in his chair, offering Major Nutterbutter a casual two fingered salute as the small bushy tailed mammal vacated the seat. He eased himself into the worn leather, feeling the residual warmth left by its furry former occupant.
After a shuttle went and came from the surface, carrying a handful of refugees that had just enlisted, the Mossflower headed towards the system's hyperlane and throttled up to hyper-speed. It disappeared from the system in a streaking flash of brilliant white light.

The Harbor-class Mobile Space Dock was given a new order by the office of the High Lord to begin the construction of a new Orion-class Battleship. It was duly given the codename of Solitude with construction project approved not long after the order was made. It would take some months to build the impressive warship, but it would be done in due time. Included within this, the High Lord planned four thousand Battle Droid models to crew it. A third was dedicated to navigation, guns, and crew maintenance while the remainder were armed as security guards. Two squadrons of Vulture-class droid starfighter were to be added as additional defense. All of these allocated from what remained of the meager Separatist era caches. Lucien figured they'd be worth their use to Endor and his group when the time came.

With due time, the newly minted Orion-class Battleship, codenamed Alpha-17, launched from its berths a handful of months later. Entirely running on its skeleton droid crew, the High Lord made sure it was stocked with provisions, munitions, weaponry, even if it was a bit outdated, and given a couple squadrons of the promised Vulture-class droid starfighters. Hopefully, the extra add-ons would be a nice gift for Endor once it got into his hands. As it headed for hyperspace, a squadron of StealthXs prepared to follow and make sure the vessel got into the right hands. Soon enough, it jumped for the edges of the Outer Rim.

Emerging from hyperspace, a lone Kom'rk-class transport slows to ahead dead slow, its weapons and shields powered down in a display of non-hostile intent.
Opening a comm-channel to Ossus' orbital traffic controllers, Ksenia says, Ossus control, this is Ksenia Itera of House Bralor aboard the Mando'ade Kom'rk-class transport The Muun Orar requesting clearance to land and a flight path to the Jedi Praxeum to meet with the Headmaster or highest ranking Jedi available at their earliest convenience.
Sitting back to wait for the reply from Ossus's OTC, Ksenia mutes the comm and hits the Kom'rk's intercom, telling Lieutenant Acklay and his ARC Troopers, We've arrived in orbit over Ossus and are standing by for clearance to land. Looking over at Conaodh, her co-pilot and seeing that he is asleep, Ksenia swivels her seat to kick the snoozing Bimm and says, Wake up, Con, we're here. Should get our flight path in a moment.
Yawning and rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Conaodh nods, giving Ksenia a lazy salute as he says, "Yes, boss," and then shakes his head like a canine shaking water from its fur before cracking his knuckles and checking his boards.

Within view of the lone Mandalorian transport, a patrolling Solar-class Jedi Defense Frigate as well as an escort of two Bothan Frigates were within the sector of space that Ksenia Itera and her crew had entered the system at. A squadron of XJ7s flew by as long-range scans were performed upon the Mandalorian transport. Jedi and Mandalorian relations had never been... positive due to past events between the two nations, both recent and historical. Although it was well known that the Mandalorian Assembly was less warmongering than its Mandalorian Empire predecessor, one could never be too careful, even if recent history hadn't shown any hostile relations.
The squadron flew by twice more before veering off and returning to their patrol route. Seconds later, the commander on the bridge of the Shield of Ossus, which was the Jedi Defense Frigate, responded to the transmission from the Mandalorian transport.=Commander= Muun Orar, this is Captain Javus of the Shield of Ossus. I have relayed your message to the High Lord and his cabinet. Standby.It took several moments longer before the transmission continued.=Commander= Muun Orar, you have been given clearance to head for the domain of the High Lord Malvern at the Harcey Palatinate. Please follow all rules and customs in accordance with local law. Be made aware that we have Yuuzhan Vong allies operating in this system and we will not tolerate trouble of any kind between Mandalorian and Yuuzhan Vong. Their work is to not be disturbed.All knew of the intolerable and easily sparked relations between Mandalorian and Yuuzhan Vong due to the Invasion. The clans never forgot a grudge nor a slight and, while the Jedi weren't always on the best of terms due to history, the Vong had it worse. The High Lord would not tolerate anything that would disturb the peace and the work being done on Ossus. Which, if the Mandalorians looked out the viewport, would notice green areas coming back to the once barren landscape of Ossus from orbit.=Commander= Welcome to Ossus.And with that, the transmission ended.

Conaodh grins as the squadron of XJ7's do a third fly by before finally seeming to decide the Muun Orar has been scanned to their satisfaction, telling Ksenia in an amused tone, "Someone's feeling cautious."
Ksenia shrugs, opening a comm channel after Ossus Control tells her to standby, saying, Muun Orar standing by Control, and muting the channel as she tells Conaodh, "Don't think anyone's going to forget the Jihad any time soon, Con, and who could blame them?"
Conaodh frowns, forced to admit, "That's fair I suppose, then smiles as he says, We'll just have to show them how friendly House Bralor is then! Maybe I should do the talking? Everyone loves me! Putting his palm beneath his chin, he smiles his most winning smile and asks, Who couldn't trust this face?"
Shaking her head, Ksenia says, "Probably best if we let Acklay take the lead," and then holds up a finger as Control gets back to them and clears them to land with a warning about behaving since there are Vong allied with Malvern. Un-muting the comm channel, Ksenia says, Acknowledged Control, and Understood. Muun Orar beginning approach now, over.
As Ksenia gets them underway, Conaodh asks, "What do you think the rules and customs are here?"
Shrugging, Ksenia guesses in a dry tone, "Mind our manners and don't piss off the Vong?"
"Do we have any issues with the Vong? Conaodh asks, not old enough to have been involved in any conflicts between the Mando'ade and Vong, and, like most of House Bralor, possessed of more tolerance than some Clans and a willingness to look beyond the past and allow for the possibility people and peoples can and often do change as circumstances change with the passing of time. Motioning out of the forward viewport as they get near enough to Ossus to see the changes it appears the Vong have made on the planet, the Bimm says, I guess that is the work Control was referring to, chuckling as he says, See? Peoples can change. Quite a change from trying to cleanse our polluted galaxy, no?"
Ksenia nods, then opens the Muun Orar's intercom to tell Acklay and the ARC Troopers, We've been cleared to meet with High Lord Malvern and are making our descent from orbit now. Shutting the intercom off, Ksenia adjusts the angle of the Muun Orar's nose as they start entering Ossus' upper atmosphere as they continue on to the Harcey Palatinate. . .

The Exarch - Arcadia-Class Jedi Praxeum ShipBut it was not a thought Ires let herself get too lost in as she bolted through the Gardens, already late for her lesson with Valon. She'd been trying her best to be on time, but she had gotten caught up in some work and helping tend to some of the animals in the stables. Despite her reasoning, she was certain Valon would still lecture her about keeping better track of her time and promises. A lecture she was bracing herself for as she came running out into the garden clearing where her Master was seated and looking up towards the stars. She braced her hands upon her knees as she caught her breathSorry I'm later Master... I lost track of time helping.... in the stables... Valon opened his golden glowing eyes as he heard the heavy hoof falls against the pavers as she came running out into the garden before launching into an apology for being late. He let out a sigh, whilst still smiling. He turned his head to the side, allowing him to look back toward her form one eye as he patted the ground to his rightCome, sit... I trust I do not need to remind you of our past lesson? I appreciate your willingness to volunteer to help, but you should be careful not to overcommit yourself to too much. Our lessons together are not mandatory, though they are intended to pass on our history and culture as well as helping you control the powers that grow within you. But you have agreed to them, and I expect you to treat that commitment with respect. If you can't, then let me know and we will cease them...

When instructed to do so, Ires sat down next to her Master in a cross legged position whilst looking up and to her left at him as he spoke. Thankfully the more relaxed position had helped her catch her breath more quickly as he launched into the lecture she had expected. She frowned a little as the reprimand got to her I promise Master, I do want these lessons. I just got a little carried away today. I promise it won't happen again!

He noted her frown as she took her seat and explained her lateness, promising to do better. He raised his right hand and brought it to rest upon her head, ruffling her hair gently. The last thing he wanted to do was make her sad, but he did need to ensure a certain level of structure I know... I just wanted to make sure you were serious about this, but I also understand that you have other hobbies and interests beyond our lessons. We just need to ensure you find a balance. So, are you ready to begin your lesson?

The Zovu-class Fast Cruiser popped out of hyperspace over Ossus with Leoderas at the pilot controls and Rhiannon acting as co-pilot. Sylina sat as a passenger ready to jump into action. As the Fast Cruiser settled into the traffic flow, Rhiannon opened a comm link to orbital controlThis is Jedi Knight Rhiannon, requesting an audience with Lady Abi Bruce.

It took less time than Rhiannon had anticipated for Countess Bruce to appear in holographic form, but it was a relief to see they would not be waiting over long. She offered a bow of her head in return from her seated position It is a pleasure to meet you Countess Bruce. I am Rhiannon, leader of the Jedi Pathfinder Delta Team. We found something which we believe belongs to you ma'am

Abi leaned over her console and after pressing a few buttons, transmitted clearance for her fellow Jedi to land at the Praxeum. Of course. I will meet you in the hanger bay. Just follow the attached coordinates. And welcome to Ossus. With that the blue holo image of Lady Bruce fizzled out of existence.

Thank you Countess! Leo was already busy entering in the nav co-ordinates and the approach path for the ships computer as the image of Abigail disappeared from existence. He then pushed the controls forward and pulled away from the traffic lane and headed on the specified route down towards the surface of Ossus toward the Jedi PRaxeum

So, are you ready to begin your lesson? She shook her head a little as her hair was ruffled, but her gaze remained up at Valon. Growing up on her home world, she'd been raised with the stories of the Lightforged. A figure of myths and legend whom appeared in the Eredruin's time of need. They would swoop in and vanquish some great evil or darkness and then disappear just as quickly. But there was something that remained consistent across all of these stories: there was only ever one Lightforged. No one had ever mentioned finding some secret Tribe of Lightforged. Which always made her sad. It seemed a lonely life, being the only one of that thing. Now, here she was, the last of the Eredruin with what seemed like the last of the Lightforged. Perhaps that loneliness was what drove him, so that someone would remember his story as many before him had been remembered. She gave a small smile up to himI'll do my best to better balance my time, I promise! I'm ready to begin!

Chekk had spent much of the trip over from Hoth to Ossus explaining that he had been an only sibling to Endor, but spent a good deal of timing otherwise entertaining the General. The rest of the Jedi were busy running checks and maintenance and repairs upon the Aethersprite's since they'd not had a great deal of time to tend to them since Dantooine. But they'd all managed to make it to the bridge by the time Katja and Allas brought The Halcyon out of hyperspace over the lush forest world. They'd read books about Ossus and its history, but none of them were aware of the efforts they had been made to rejuvenate the world since the failed attempt by the Yuuzhan Vong following the Invasion. But here it was, as was intended. Katja activated the comm controls to reach out to the Jedi Lord's commandOssus command, this is Captain Katja Eve of the Halcyon. General Endor is my passenger and is seeking a meeting with High Lord Lucien Malvern. I repeat, General Endor for High Lord Malvern.

A name all too familiar now with the Jedi of Ossus. A number of persons, refugees from across the various conflicts and issues of the Outer Rim, had come to this planet and then heard word of General Endor and the New Rebel Alliance. A handful of transports left, per week, carrying a few hundred or so off to join the ranks of the Alliance. Lucien Malvern knew these people sought a way to help change things rather than be sedentary and wait. When Ossus Command heard the transmission, it didn't take long for a response to be heard.
=Ossus Command= This is Ossus Command to the Halcyon. High Lord Malvern is currently in the Eocho Mountains, surveying excavation operations. His coordinates pin him to a nearby castle the site on the planet's surface. General Endor and members of the Halcyon are welcomed to land at said coordinates where you will be taken to the Master of Ossus.
Coordinates were transmitted to the visiting vessel a few moments later.

Endor, who had been standing at the back of the bridge during the transmission exchange, nodded his head. "So far so good." He said, before raising a steaming cup of stim-caf to his lips, which he slurped with relish. When he was done, he lowered his beverage and gestured with his free hand, flicking his fingers forwards towards the view-screen. "Take us in."

Copy that Ossus Command, coordinates received. We appreciate the help. Halcyon out. Allas got busy inputting the coordinates for the site on the surface, whilst Katja was already nagling the ship away from the main traffic queue towards Knossa. The nav computer was soon taking over to guide them along the path to the aforementioned Castle Ruins in the Eocho Mountains...
