Kreel had entered the Escador system when he realised that he couldn't return to Vader. It was certain he had to leave the Empire, at least temporarily. Every time Kreel failed, Vader had warned him not to do it again. Now death was a certain price to pay if he stayed loyal to the Empire. Escador's twin moons were bunched together, as if uniting forces to attack the remote world. His corvette landed on the east side of the planet, pivoting the ship so it wouldn't land on a murky swamp.
The Empire would most certainly not dare try to find Kreel there, or, more specifically, he would be safe from Vader.
Kreel had made a compact settlement consisting of wooden trunks from the nearby trees and identical vines. By night, Kreel had started a fire in the centre of the compound and was roasting the native edible fruit and plants. There were no known inhabitants, which troubled Kreel. He had been hoping to spare a few credits to buy appropriate items needed to survive. Though the clean sanitation appeared to be a major problem too. The swamps had appeared to have all sorts of diseases and unknown hazards in them. Though the daily rainfall was clean, at least, cleaner than all the other water supplies on the swamp planet.
Another problem was that all sorts of dangerous predators stalked in the night, patrolling a multiple number of areas, searching for prey to devour. Kreel had shot two with his E-11 blaster, chopping off their claws and using them as sharp tips for spears.
Overall, life on Escador was tough to manage.
