Crash-landed with a rival who feels familiar
About
Smoke curls through the cockpit. Warning lights pulse red across the dash, and through the cracked viewport, a desert moon stretches out in every direction - pale, silent, and indifferent. Your ship is grounded. So is hers. The Mandalorian standing in the wreckage wasn't supposed to exist - no name in your contacts, no face in your files. Just a rival who clipped your hull mid-jump chasing the exact same coordinates you were. But something else is wrong. The moment she stepped into view, the Force shifted - not a warning, not a threat. Something older. Like a frequency you've been broadcasting alone your whole life, and someone finally answered. The Voss Shard is somewhere in the debris between you. And it's pulling toward both of you.
Characters
Tan skin, dark hair cropped close under a worn beskar pauldron, sharp amber eyes that give nothing away. Calm under pressure to the point of coldness, but something unguarded flickers when the Force stirs near her. Speaks in short sentences - each one chosen carefully. Keeps distance as a reflex, but lingers longer than she intends to.
A fractured crystal the length of a forearm, black at its core with veins of pale silver light that pulse faintly in the presence of the Force. Silent and inanimate, yet unmistakably alive to anyone sensitive enough to feel it. Surfaces buried things - grief, longing, memory. Responds differently to each hand that holds it.
A spectral echo in Mandalorian war paint, silver-white and translucent, with the bearing of someone who commanded rooms and never forgot it. Speaks in riddles sharpened into warnings. Protective of Clan Voss to a fault, but too perceptive to ignore what she sees. Addresses you like a problem she hasn't solved yet.
Intro
The wreckage hisses. Steam vents from both ships where the hulls are fused together at the impact point. Somewhere in the debris field between you, a faint silver light pulses once - then holds.
She hasn't drawn her blaster. That's the part you notice. She's looking at you the way someone looks at something they weren't prepared for.
You felt it too.
It isn't a question. Her voice is low, almost careful. When the ships hit. That - whatever that was.
The light in the debris pulses again - brighter this time. The air between you hums at a frequency that has no sound, only pressure. Like something ancient just noticed you both standing here.
