***** TRANSMISSION INTERRUPED: STATUS PENDING DELIVERY *****
Dearest O:
It seems like ages have passed since I left the peaceful shores of my homeworld Calamari. Today, I found myself on a distant planet called Dathomir looking for someone that had news of polearms of unspeakable power.
As you well know, however, I am very happy with my current polearm. My long vibro axe was given to me by my father who used it during the Clone Wars. Then, it was a shining example of grace, elegance and statuesque power. The hilt was custom wrapped in a tough but easily manipulated seaweed that would allow me to keep a good grip on it while learning it’s secrets. It was made by a close friend of my father’s who was a Quarren, a neighboring race on Calamari. I had never seen it’s equal.
Using ‘Lucille’, as my father named it, for years, I have truly learned how to take care of it and appreciate it’s fine craftsmanship, but nothing prepared me, or my trusty polearm, for what I was about to encounter on this planet.
I arrived to find my contact had been killed while working with a group called “Solo”. For a moment, I pondered if this group was led by the one I have heard about that assisted the Rebellion in destroying the Empire’s battle station outside Yavin IV not too long ago. I saw no signs of him either.
Not to be discouraged, I quietly listened into the conversations in the cantina of what looked like a science outpost. I overheard a group of medics holding large T-21 rifles speaking about a band of humanoid women called ‘Nightwomen’ or something. At first I thought they were discussing sexual encounters with these humanoids until I heard about the weapons they found. Lances. Not exactly what I was looking for, nor as powerful, but I could manage if one was as powerful as I had heard. It is possible that if they had lances, they might also have Long Vibro Axes, my weapon of choice, if you remember.
I set out in the direction that I overheard on my swoop. Truly, O, if you ever plan on coming to this planet, make sure your vehicle is in good condition as the mountainous ranges are terrible on the condition. Let me tell you, this planet is ripe with vicious wildlife but the one thing it truly lacks is sunlight and water. All of this darkness seems to drain any happiness away from me and I have yet to find one body of water where creatures like myself may inhabit.
It wasn’t long before I met the local wildlife. Huge creatures with long arms and even longer teeth. They were brown in color and deadly strong. Lucille did her job well though. I found little resistance in them that managed to keep my polearm from splitting their sides. I even managed to stockpile my vehicle with meat to try out. You never know, it may be worth something or at least taste somewhat edible. If I could just get over the smell.
Before long, I found what looked like an shabby encampment of these ‘Nightsisters’. From what I could tell, they were unarmed for the most part but were merely stalking the area.
Needless to say, I approached carefully, parking my vehicle a great distance away. I lured one of these stalkers to follow me but her friend spotted her running and followed. At a safe distance away, I let loose Lucille. To my amazement, I could not knock them down as I have done to hundreds of others. It was as if they planted their feet as a tree does it roots. I will have to study this method another time. The fight lasted a while, but I was victorious. Looking through their pockets, I found some credits but no weaponry.
After luring another five to seven away, I found a crude lance. It was hardly worth the effort. I did, however, notice the markings on it had an area for disease capsules to be inserted. The disease was quite weak and the lance itself was worthless to me but at least I was on the right track. Perhaps there are stronger women here that may provide me with a lance or axe of exceptional power.
I have rambled long enough. I have set up camp here on this Dathomir and will await for what this planet considers ‘daybreak’ before looking again.
I will let you know if I find anything. Be sure to tell everyone I said Hello.
May the Force be with you.
