PROMPTS:

1. MYRKR
You (and your friends) are running from voxyn, reptilian hounds that can sense and are trained to hunt Force-sensitives. Their abilities and weapons include sonic blasts, flesh-melting acid, disease-coated claws and a poisonous barbed tail. Jedi have died in the hands of these creatures. You have been warned.


2. MYRKR (AGAIN)
You've crash-landed and... you can't use the Force. At least while you're around ysalamiri, lizard-like tree-dwellers native to the planet. They create Force-neutral bubbles and, together, can even expand their reach to kilometers. Oh well, you didn’t need the Force, right?


3. SERNPIDAL
There's a religious festival going on, something about the moon, and then things start to get weird because... they're saying the moon is getting bigger? Wait, no, it's getting bigger because it's being pulled towards the planet by a gravity field generating plant called a dovin basal and HOLY KRIFF WE'RE GOING TO DIE.


4. HAPES
Your boat is sinking, and you're surrounded by carnivorous seaweed. Their tentacles are thick, green and rubbery, with long thorns, and are used to strangle their victims (yay!). When cut, the tentacles ooze a syrupy green liquid (double yay!). Plus they have large red flowers, with blue fruits in the center that resemble eyes (yay yay yay!). Good luck!


5. CORUSCANT, AKA YUUZHAN'TAR
This place used to be the Senate Building of Coruscant, but now it's the Well of the World Brain, a creepy underground alien jungle. A hedge maze of alien trees line the front entrance; they're as resilient as durasteel, and contain toxin-filled needles from the size of a thumb to a forearm. If you wander further in, you'll eventually come across the World Brain — actually a dhuryam, a telepathic alien creature in charge of running the entire planet. It takes slaves, by the way, so you might want to check if you got implanted with a slave seed in your chest.


6. THE GRAVEYARD
It looks to be a thick asteriod belt, but it’s actually the remains of the planet Alderaan, obliterated by the Empire’s superweapon, the Death Star. After the planet’s destruction, many Alderaanian exiles would shoot capsules filled with gifts for their friends and family, and those who call themselves the Guardians take to patrolling the area to prevent pirates from stealing the capsules.

Starscream | 6.

[vosseeker]

The scanners would show an angular, armed aircraft, shaped almost similarly to an X-Wing but smaller, moving easily through the congested airspace of the planet's remains with a precision that almost no pilot could ever hope to match.

Starscream had picked up a faint energon trace among the debris, and was weaving effortlessly between pieces of rock which would have crushed him if he hadn't been so confident in his motions. No one could match a Seeker in flight.

Crisscrossing the debris field was helping him narrow the traces, but they were still elusive. When he thought he had a lock, he poured on an afterburn and sped toward one largish chunk, flipping out of his alternate mode at the last second and landing with a soundless thump in the vacuum of space, his weight giving him some traction in the otherwise weightless environment.

He picked his way toward what looked like a capsule, his scanner held in hand. "Where are you..." he muttered.

because the idea wouldn’t leave me alone haha

Admittedly, Marc had no idea what he signed up for when he convinced his cousin to accompany him to the planet of their births. Sure, he’d been in his Aunt Khrista’s ship a couple of times — mostly due to Kahlua’s curiosity rather than his own — but he’d actually never been offworld. Not until he and Ramis took off.

It was supposed to be a relatively short trip, at least by space standards. Aquavitae wasn’t too far away from the Elicoor system when hyperspace travel was factored into the equation. But according to Ramis, there had been something anomalous about their jump through lightspeed, and now they were... well, simply put, hopelessly lost.

Marc was alone for the time being in the cockpit; Ramis had slipped out to the fresher, leaving the ship on autopilot. He stared at the many buttons and blinking lights of the console, frowning. He’d seen a lot fantastical things in Aquavitae, but this kind of technology was beyond him. Still, he had enough of his mother in him to not shy away from the challenge of coping with extremely novel situations.

“Well, nothing’s red,” he started to say, but it was much too soon — an alarm suddenly sounded, and one of the screens flashed something he didn’t quite understand. It looked like the ship’s scanners detected something outside, but as to what...

He peered out of the viewscreen, squinting. Lots of floating, tumbling rocks. And something like—

Another ship? Or at least something metal. Among the field of rocks.

“Uh, Ramis?” he spoke into the intercom, his voice wavering with uncertainty. “We have a blinking red light, and there are a lot of rocks outside.”

double feature!!

Ramis was below decks trying to figure out what had gone wrong with the hyperjump engine that had put them so far off course, but even with his unique abilities, he was getting conflicting readings. At Marc's intercom though, he was forced to leave the engine diagnostic where it was and ascend back to the cockpit.

"Proximity alarms," he said, dropping into the pilot's seat and canceling the autopilot. "And... a ship alert, but it's not there now. Where'd it go? Did you see it?"
