Hot. The weather was incredibly warm, it felt like if the wind itself could set things on fire by mere exposition, and unfortunately for the inhabitants of Hok, the wind picking up was not something uncommon. The monochrome landscape was overwhelming. Golden sands and rocky formations carefully eroded by the climate dominated the ground, and a cloudless, endless sky ruled above the land. The wasteland of Hok was incredibly similar to Tatooine and it was the ultimate counterpart to the other half of the planet, which was sorrounded by pure darkness, a place where light was non-existant.
Population on the colonies was mainly made up by Grans and to a much lesser extent, other species. It was regulated heavily, non-gran species had to live in special designated quarters of the cities due to a problem the Grans had with massive emigration once. Nonetheless, the planet had a rich supply of crystals which people mined and traded, a popular one among those who were into mineral trade. The streets of the small settlement were deceptively empty, just like the rest of them, spreaded along that popular route, each one of them with a small native population who struggled to make a living. The only ones who were disrupting the mesmerizing desolated scenery were the few Jedi who walked in between the few housing complexes and shops that decorated that particular stop.
Covered in desert clothes from footgear to head, Makara looked like the awkward relative of a Tusken raider. It would've of fooled anyone with his lightsaber concealed under his robes, if not for the horns on his head which gave the ones who knew him an unmistakeable hint of who might of be underneath the mask. Althought now the air was clear of sand, it wouldn't be once they sailed into the dune sea, which was going to be very soon. Makara had rented a transport to take them to the very twilight zone of the planet, at which point they would be on their own. To collect crystals seemed something boring to do at first sight, but it could provide the basics of field experience for both padawans, and if they paid attention during the trip they could learn something new, too.
Nice weather, huh? -asked the Jedi to his students, from under his beige clothes in a light mood as they walked towards the particular shop who rented the vehicles.
