The Void Finder. Once, a run down, decrepit starliner that was destined for the scrapyards, now a heavily modified and refurbished ship of the Discovery Exploration Core. Equipped with all the bells and whistles for long stages of flight to commit lengthy explorations both inside and out of the galaxy; Ranging from probe droids inside the stocked mechanic shop, a laboratory capable of self containment during dire situations, medical chambers filled with several bacta tanks in case the worst happens to a crew mate, two refurbished shuttles for intersystem transport, and even a botany lab capable of growing plant life in case of the event of becoming stranded for months on end. Heck, there even was a brig, as minimalistic as it was. True, many of the housing rooms had to be scrapped and torn out to make room for these improvements, but the ship still was capable of housing 300 passengers in addition to its crew if needed.
And the best part was, it was so sterilized! At least, that's what was the best part according to Captain Wooroo. As his cyanogen-filled crystalline life-support tank drifted down the pristine durasteel hallway towards the command bridge, the Celedian could not help but once again admire how clean everything still was. The cleaning droids he insisted the Discovery Exploration Core provide were really doing their job. Sure he may be the equivalent of a floating brain in a oversized gassy jar, but all those germs could still kill him!
Once inside the bridge, surrounded by several crew mates and deckhands, Wooroo looked over the crew list of the day. It had been several days since the ship left port with its full crew. Totaling about 75 personnel, the Discovery Core had taken to hiring additional hands from outside the company. A few of them were unorthadox to be certain, but Wooroo saw that each one could provide use, especially for this unusual mission. It wasn't every charter that included a quest to find details of a myth based on the blue paint scribblings from a crashed starship utilizing previously considered crackpot ciphers. But the fact was this: The inaccurate maps, once paired with the ciphers, provided a precise location that demanded an exploration. Would it be the ebon Star? Probably not, and Wooroo himself thought the myth was a load of bantha poodoo. But perhaps they would find information on what happened to those people who made those star charts, and even other ciphers to utilize with the maps.
Wooroo raised a tentacle out of his life support tank and pressed a button on a panel. All over the ship, the sound of the comm came to life.
"Attention all personnel!" Wooroo's croaky voice sounded out. "We will be exiting hyperspace and entering the Kathol Rift in about 20 minutes. At that time, all personnel will need to be able to be on active duty at a moment's notice, as we will be entering unmapped locations. Prepare yourselves as needed. In addition, please enjoy the extra rations for lunch today. Captain Wooroo over and out"

(Post what your characters have been doing the last few days on the Void Finder, helping describe their role on the ship. It could range from anything such as a simple engineer to security to anything related to the rooms listed above. The Discovery Exploration Core may not be aware of where your allegiances lie, unless you wish to be open about it. I will give everyone a chance to post and interact with each other if desired, and then we will start the fun)
