Planet Morroth is well-known for its hostile and deadly climate, a cold that only specially-trained Dark Jedi, Sithspawn fauna, and properly-equipped forces can survive at the best of times. While traveling to the Temple of Plagueis to give trinkets, special robes, and tomes of lore to the Students and Prospects of Plagueis - a ritual associated with the end of the year - Rollmaster Arcadian was onboard the YCHT Calm Sea when its engines failed. The vessel crashed into an ice shelf in the Great Tundra, crippling it. Its last communique before its array gave out was from Arcadian himself, stating that he was the only survivor - and that his lightsaber was destroyed beyond repair. He is stranded.
Now, he is trapped aboard the ship with only its consumables and hastily-dimming sources of power and life support to shelter him from the cold. To make matters worse, one of Morroth's ferocious blizzards threatens to bury the ship beneath a mountain of snow and freeze the Rollmaster even sooner.
Faced with the inability to pilot craft in a Morroth blizzard and no way to deploy ground forces, Quaestor Reith has called upon the Blade of Plagueis to once again take on and survive a suicide mission. Using our newly-acquired 74-Z speeder bikes, Pilus must utilize heavy survival gear, the Force abilities of Convection and Tapas, and the sheer will to survive and keep going to get to the Rollmaster in time. It is a race of life and death for all involved - Pilus faces off against the wind, the cold, their own equipment, and the mortality of Arcadian in a no-holds-barred battle for survival.
And worse, the probability of a Wyrm attack on Force users has been known to sharply increase during blizzards.
Write a two-page fiction about the rescue of Arcadian. Include in it all components of the story, from Arc's crash to the blizzard itself and our efforts to survive. A Wyrm attack will be allowed if you so choose, but is not required; use it wisely, for improper usage will only harm your story.
As Pilus is the elite, I have no doubt that each and every one of you can research the Wiki on all that you need to use here. Get to it, gents.
