  Heading to a New Home (all are welcome)

“Welcome aboard the starliner Octivus IV and we hope you will enjoy your trip.  Onboard safety instructions will follow.”

The ship’s comm. continued to chatter along as Thadon Marton made his way toward his bunk.  The starliner’s outward appearance went along with its inward looks.  Getting onboard, Thadon noticed score marks from battles and some defensive weaponry that looked deactivated.  As he strode down the corridor, the smells and sights of decay were very prevalent. 

He pressed the touch pad at his door.  Nothing happened.  Looking down at the door panel he could tell there was no power coming to it immediately. 

With a glance each direction, Thadon reached into his carry-pack, using an omni-tool to open the pad.  A wire was frayed connected to the open switch.  Thadon used the tool to nudge the wire and the door opened swiftly.

Jumping inside for fear the door might crush him, Thadon noticed his room wasn’t that bad.  A big bed, a nice sized refresher, and a view to the outside welcomed him.  Hopefully his destination would welcome him too.

The Vast Empire’s Naval forces, specifically the Starfighter Corps, were seeking recruits.  Thadon’s eyes lit up when he saw the notice at Balmorra’s local starport.  Now, heading to Abrae, those eyes were now fixed on a future.  All the things he had learned throughout his life were now going to be laid bare for scrutiny from himself and others.  A slight flutter in his stomach shook him from his thought. He knew the telltale sign of hyperspace entry.  He was on his way.

Octivus IV had an extensive cantina located in the center of the ship according to the ship’s information kiosk.  Thadon stowed his gear and hit the door panel again.  This time, the power supply stayed connected.  The corridors of the ship were well marked despite the desparate looking conditions of the hull.

Ahead a brightly lit sign announced Christi’s Tina.  The cantina was not so brightly lit, on par with the galactic norm.  Two Twi’lek guards stood at attention with small arms in their hands.  Between them, the single file sized door was surrounded by a weapon detection system of some kind.  Neither guard seemed to show him any mind so Thadon headed to bar. 

Another Twi’lek, this time a beautiful female, stepped over to him.  Thadon dropped credits on the bartop.

“Tumbler of Whyren’s Reserve, if you have it,” Thadon inquired, smiling.

The young Twi’lek smiled back, sharp teeth and all, and reached behind her to get his drink.  She topped it off and handed him the glass, swiping the creds rather swiftly.

“Thank you darlin’,” Thadon said.

Turning to give the rest of the room a one-over, Thadon noticed for the first time that this was mostly a Twi’lek hangout.  He saw two humans over at a sabacc table.  Two Rodians were with them.  This must be a smuggling ship

Well, Thadon had all the time in the world.  Until he reach Abrae, that is.
