Quell, 7956 C.R.C

The trio ran all through the night and by the time the sun slowly was rising, casting light over the grassland they reached a large clearing where the fallen  seedpods from the giant tree stood spread out in a tiny village.

"Pod central," Ahsoka smiled at the sight of the village. "We made it."

"We did," Kaia nodded, offering the padawan a small smile before she slid down the hill, the other two following close behind.

Many of the villagers stopped to watch their approach, yellow eyes wide with alarm. They stood at about one metre tall on average, with two arms and two legs. Brown or grey fur covered their entire bodies but they also wrote clothes.

Noticing their frightened eyes, Kaia decided to be careful and let them make the first move. Ahsoka had a different plan and loudly said, "Hello?"

No response came but the crowd parted for who Kaia assumed to be the village elder judging by his robes and white beard. "What have you come here for?" he asked them suspiciously.

"We are Jedi from the Galactic Republic," Kaia explained. "Our ship crashed a few miles away and one of us is badly injured. We need your help."

"You've come here with your war," the elder stated.

"I assure you it was not our intention," Kaia told him. "And I promise we are no danger to you or your people. We're peacekeepers."

"Violence breeds violence," the elder said. "Jedi are no peacekeepers."

Kaia gazed down at her lightsaber. It had not been long since the war broke out, but the Jedi had gone from peacekeepers to soldiers quickly. Ahsoka defended them by saying, "We're fighting for freedom."

"And freedom and peace require fear and death?" the elder asked. "We colonised this system to find solace from your wretched war. We came here to find peace. You must leave!" he started walking away. "You will only destroy what small amount of peace is left in the galaxy. You will only bring the destruction of us."

"Regardless of the Clone Wars and the part we play in them, we still need your help," Kaia said, tone becoming a little more pleading. Of course she didn't want to drag this peaceful village into their war, but all they asked for was help.
