Despite the protection of her armor, Darth Tempest could still feel the bitter cold that cut across the surface of Excarga, sending a chill across her bronze skin. It blanketed the horizon in layers of ice and snow, and it sent skeletal fingers of frost with every howling gust of the wind. It was not unlike Tokmia and Hoth before it - and it was utterly miserable to endure. And yet, even still, the Dark Lord found herself marching across its frozen surface all the same.
While inhospitable, the planet was home to various Mining Guild operations - carving deep below the surface to extract Gold, Platinum and other precious minerals. It was not, however, the material wealth of the planet that attracted Tempest - but rather it was the weeks spent in study that had ultimately drawn her to the planet. Scattered records indicated Rakatan presence on the planet eons ago - and the promise of their technology and artifacts hidden deep within the natural caverns of the planet.
It didn’t take the Dark Lord long to stumble upon the outskirts of the mining operation - shining like a beacon amongst the frozen landscape. She was adorned in her signature armor and cloak - with the newly crafted Lightsaber swinging from her hip. While the camp was still a few meters away, Tempest had already dispatched the security that roamed the perimeter - leaving the broken chassisses and handful of bodies scattered across the path behind her.
For her expedition, Darth Tempest had called upon one of the remaining Champions of her order - providing Ambrosia with the rough coordinates of where to rendezvous. She had little experience with the woman in question, but opted to wait for her arrival before advancing further towards the Mining Camp.
Instead, Tempest reached out with the Force and pulled a Datapad from the corpse of a security guard, casually scrolling across the device for any useful information she could glean from the device.
