Welcome to Gaia! ::

Planet: Hoth
System: Hoth
Sector:
Terrain: Snowy mountains, plains, caves
Zones: Old Rebel base (Echo base) ; Old Imperial base

The five planets closest to the Hoth sun are lifeless, and a wide, chaotic asteroid belt occupies the only remaining orbit in the system. Hoth is barely hospitable, with its axial tilt, orbital position and atmospheric makeup causing the world to plunge into subzero temperatures. Hoth's daytime temperature high hovers around -32 degrees standard. At night, temperatures often fall as low as -60 degrees, with winds causing it to feel even colder.
Hoth's entire surface is covered by ice, but in various locations, volcanic fissures open up steam vents, depositing rocks and minerals in darker patches on the glacier plains. A few mountain chains penetrate the permanent ice shelves, and some of these are geologically active.

Along Hoth's equator is a deep fissure in the ice shelves, reaching hundreds of meters into what seems like another world. In this place, never exposed to Hoth's blue-white sun, is a cache of lumni-spice, a rare fungal growth valued by the galaxy's criminal element. Before the Alliance established a base in the northern hemisphere of Hoth, a pirate leader named Raskar attempted to seize the cache, only to be chased off by a creature known as a dragon-slug. Other rarely seen creatures in the Hoth wilderness include land scavengers known colloquially as Hoth hogs, and small rodents such as snowmice and ice scrabblers.

In Hoth's southern hemisphere, a massive ocean churns underneath the pressure of ice. The tidal pull of Hoth's three nameless moons cause fissures in the ice-layers, sending jets of ocean water into the freezing Hoth air. The intense cold freezes these jets into spires of ice, suspending primitive ocean algae in these tall columns. A species of annelids called ice worms carve their way through the ice to feed on the algae, leaving behind odd tiny holes.

There is a steady intergalactic Trading prescence in the northern hemisphere of this planet as Hoth is home to a substantial Research facility that many have rumoured to be of a more sinister nature than researching communications as it is publicly made out to be.

As Kyotens ship came in to land he could see something was wrong. As soon as he docked he ran straight to the main offices. Guards quickly passed him through every check point.

Kyoten stormed into the main lab startling the scientists.

"Whats going on here! "

"S..S..Sir it escaped Ryi has escaped. "

"You fools! do you know how much that thing was worth. What about the Menta program is that still intact "

"Yes sir the being is deep below ground in the Cryo freezing chambers."

"At least that is one thing. How is the cloning attempts"

"The science team has evaluated and discovered that her spirit does not seem to have transcended and remains linked to this world somewhere."

Kyoten thought to himself.

Hmm just as i thought

Kyoten turned to the scientist that had informed him of Ryi's escape and pulled out his blaster firing a shot straight between the mans eyes. The figure dropped to the ground

"Let something like this happen again and you'll all be like him"

The scientists hid in fear as Kyoten made his way back to the docks.

As the consoles kick into life. Kyoten is shocked before seeing a vision of Ryi. Kyoten begins to laugh.

"So Ryi how does it feel to be free once more? I had plans but I can see you have plans of your own."

Kyoten laughs to himself. A small scientist by the name of Durren approaches

"Sir the sensors are not jammed like the rest. We have Pinpointed Ryi above the homebase.

"He is of little concern. Ryi is just a little annoyed. After all he has just woken up in a strange place around idiots like him over there" Kyoten quickly points to the lifelss corpse in the corner. " Ryi will understand in time "

"But he destroyed a portion of our lab."

"Just like a scared animal he destroyed all in his path to escape. As yet he has not attacked us or many of us would be dead such is his and the other of his races power."

Kyoten growled at the disrespect his creation had given him.

"I will find you Ryi and it will be soon then you will understand"

Kyoten turned back to the science team

"Well dont just stand there get back to work"

Kyoten quickly made his way back to his ship. Upon arrival he ordered the ship to be prepped for launch and then boarded. He would soon be heading to the High Command.

Quent felt as if he was luckier than anyone in the galaxy. He could see shelter. He saw big hangar doors, but they were shut and didn't look like they would be opening any time soon. He ran faster and faster until he was finally at the doors. His face felt frozen. Actually it was frozen. It had turned a purpleish blue and it was painful to blink his eyes. He had completely lost feeling in his feet and hands and was starting to loose function of his muscles.

He pounded on the door. Nothing happened. He pounded harder, so hard that his knuckles started to bleed. He didn't even know he was strong enough to make himself bleed. It was hopeless. He was going to die he knew it. There was one thing he had no control over that he figured he might as well try anyways. His gift. He closed his eyes and put his palm facing the door.Open, he said in his mind. The door made a creaking sound. OPEN!! This time the door started to pull itself open and Quent had to keep doing that until it was wide open. He started to lose his grip on his gift. He completely broke that current tie and actually dived as the door was coming back down.

That was close. he actually made it through. He lie there on the floor of the building. This was the Echo Base. He was panting there on the floor for several minutes. He didn't ever want to get up again, but he knew he had to. A few more minutes on the ground couldn't hurt though.

From what he could tell on the old transmitter it was used to sending messages from here all the way to Yavin IV. Quent thought that this might be part of the problem. The first thing he did was programmed it to send messages from a much shorter distance than Yavin 4. Now it could send messages to Naboo if it were completely operational.

The young Kaminoan didn't care anymore. He didn't care at all. He had done everything he could think of to get the transmitter working properly and he doubts it will work at all. At this point he was going to give up. He was going to send a transmission and if it ended up not reaching anywhere he didn't even care.

He sure hoped this worked."Hello, this is Kaminoan, Quent Chase. I have been fooled and I am now trapped here on Hoth in what used to be a rebel base. If any of you are getting this please help me get off this planet."
