Zaylos Kartan wiped sweat from his brow as he surveyed the junkyard. He'd been sent by his current employer, Yaneer Skiff, to salvage some parts to add to their stores. So far, it'd actually been going very well. He'd managed to find a number of lightly used carburetors, and a couple of power converters. He spotted something out of the corner of his eye turned to see an old SS-54 Light Assault Ship.
Kartan blew an appraising whistle as he stepped into the open hull of the ship. It was in really good shape. Was it covered in rust and stank like the inside of a gammorian? Yes, but in a junkyard that was as close to brand new as you got. Besides he'd restored worse. His imagination painted the ship durasteel grey with olive accents. Oh yeah, Kartan was in love.
He pryed open the cockpit and felt his heart hit the floor. It looked like a thermal detonator had blown out the entire room. There was a hole in the floor and he could see right to the cargo bay and the ship's main console was completely destroyed.
"Welp, this just got too expensive for my taste...."
Defeated, Kartan returned to his sled and made for the check out counter. Garlin Krick, an Anzellan with an adorable beard and a surly attitude, greeting him with his typical grunt.
"Hey Garlin, just this today."
Garlin rattled off a string of Azellan, and Zay was pleased to notice he was picking up more of the strange tongue.
"Yeah, Yaneer sent me... H-hey, any chance you guys have more SS-54's hiding out there?"
Garlin replied in the negative and Kartan accepted it. Oh well...
Zay thanked Garlin and loaded up Yaneer's speeder with what he'd found. It was a short trip back to the shop, and Zay pulled around back. He was in the middle of unloading the speeder when Yaneer started calling for him over the intercom.
"It's gonna be one of those days..." Kartan grumbled as he wiped his brow and made his way inside. Pulling his pack of cigarettes from his back pocket and lighting one up as he entered the shop.
Zay had been prepared for his day at the yard. He was dressed in a ratty white tank top that was covered in oil and transmission fluid, a pair of tattered jeans with a shop rag tucked into his front pocket. His boots were scuffed and well worn and his exposed limbs were as clean as the shirt on his back. His hair was wild and pushed back by the goggles that adorned his head.
"Yaneer, where you at? I'm in the middle of unloading the haul!" called Kartan as his eyes adjusted from harsh sunlight to the dim interior of Yaneer's shop.
