Delak Krennel had received a sudden and strange plus one invitation from Seraphol in Clan Odan-Urr. Seraphol and he had become friends on a mission that went sideways. Even though one was Sith and one was Jedi, they had depended on each other to make it out of the situation they had become entangled in. Still, it was strange to receive a party invitation to join them. Delak decided he would make the most out of this situation.
Delak went through his closet and found old bounty hunter armor that he had claimed off of a dead mandalorian. The armor was grey with purple trim, and the belt was black with purple edges. The armor had been modified to stretch to the users size if the user was too big in the midriff. He threw on the armor in a hurry and put his lightsaber in the satchel that he hung over his shoulder. “One should never be too cautious,” he thought to himself.
A shuttle had arrived at the Shadow Guard landing platform near Big Daddies bar. Oh the fun party he was going to miss there this year. Delak passed Dante on the way to the landing pad and he just shook his head and laughed as he went. Delak knew this armor looked ridiculous with purple but what was a Sith to do. He hurried onto the shuttle knowing that he would not be going anywhere secure for the party because Odan-Urr was on the run from the Grandmaster. Since New Tython had been sacked Delak had heard rumors of the Jedi making camp at several different worlds and keeping most of their clan within their flagships.
The Odanite shuttle carried him out into the outer rim and headed for a desert planet which at first he thought was Tatooine. As they headed for the surface he could see many large, half blown up, Star Destroyers buried in the sand. “Jakku?” Delak thought to himself. The shuttle landed near the remains of what looked like a Super Star Destroyer. He wondered why they would be having a party here with all of the First Order activity as of late. He thought about it some more as he disembarked the shuttle and was greeted by a pair of Odanites. Seraphol, and Xantros met him at the shuttle entrance.
“Greetings Delak. It has been a very long time,” Seraphol greeted the Corulagian with a firm handshake.
“A very long time indeed Seraphol. And to you as well Xantros. Or I hear you go by Lithar these days?” Delak questioned.
“You know how things are with the Grandmaster. We all have to be hidden from the wrath of Pravus.” Xantros answered.
“Indeed. So why are we here?” Delak inquired.
“You are here to be a guest for our party. It’s the time of year when we just want to have fun and we haven't seen each other in a long time. So here you are. Just don't report on us. We won't be here after today anyways with all the First Order activity.” Seraphol said.
“Agreed. As long as you don't tell Xen where I have been. Your secret is safe with me.” Delak finished.
The three men walked into the direction of a giant hole in the superstructure of the Destroyer. It was a massive ship to be sure. It amazed Delak how the Empire could build and crew these things. It’s construction boggled the mind. The party was going to be on the old bridge and the Odanites had somehow gotten the old power systems running for the trams. They stepped onto the platform and were immediately off. It was a very long trip down the belly of the beast.
They had gone about a mile down the path when the hoversled suddenly jerked and all power was lost. Apparently they hadn't fully fixed the power systems.
“Well that was a short trip.” Delak chuckled.
“Until they get that running we aren't going to have much of a party.” Seraphol said. “This is a Super Star Destroyer, let's explore and see if the scavs left anything of value untouched.”
The three friends left the hoversled and took off into the heart of the ship. Doors were forced open every where. Decaying skeletons were sprawled on the floor of the massive ship. The benefit that these three had over the scavengers was the Force. All three stretched out with their minds looking for anything that might look interesting. Xantros sensed something further into the shop and motioned to Delak and Seraphol. They followed his lead and a few minutes later came go a bulkhead which had been undamaged. All three could now feel something from behind the wall. Delak watched as Seraphol and Xantros cut holes into the bulkhead with their sabers. His was still hidden from view. When the metal of the bulkhead was cut away and fell over it revealed a room completely sealed off from any access.
Within the room they could sense things strong in the Force. The items in the room were all in boxes. Delak walked up to a box and opened the lid while the others did similarly. The opened lid revealed something he didn't expect. A holocron. This was definitely a Sith holocron. It was said that the Emperor had several vaults like this hidden on his Star Destroyers for if he was ever caught off world. “The Emperor must have been gathering these artifacts for years,” Delak thought to himself. He picked up the holocron and stuff it into his satchel. Seraphol and Xantros found similar artifacts in their boxes. Lightsabers, holocron, ancient scrolls, this was the find of a lifetime.
“This is the best party ever.” Xantros exclaimed.
Delak melt to himself sticking as many items as he could into his satchel. He would try to get away without having any problems. He didn't want the Odanites to prevent him from keeping his spoils.
“What about you Del?” Seraphol asked.
“I have a bit of stuff I will be leaving with. I won't take yours if you don't take mine.” He demanded.
“That's fine. We don't want the sith artifacts anyways. There is a mass of knowledge here. We could all become the most powerful on either side of the Force.” Xantros said happily.
Suddenly the hoversled was humming again. The three men heard it from down the hall. They decided they had enough items for themselves. They headed to the sled and went back to where they had come from. Delak headed back to the shuttle he arrived on and placed his items in storage within a shielded and locked container. He exited back off of the shuttle to see Seraphol and Xantros burying theirs for later.
“Alright guys. It's time to party hard.” Delak exclaimed.
The three went back to the sled and headed to the party to see what they had been missing out on.
