Star Wars: Mobius Rising

An Uncharted System

Ezra and Sabine landed the Starbird in a clearing near other ships that were around. They had been searching for Ezra's mystery planet for two days, and decided to stop at Takodana to rest for a bit. They walked down the ramp and headed in the direcrtion of the stone castle across the lake. Once they reached it they went over to a booth and sat down.

"Ugh," Ezra said, "How many planets that match the one we're looking for are there?"

"Too many," Sabine said, "At this rate the war will have ended by the time we find it."

They were about go around asking when a short orange-ish being came up to them.

"Newcomers," she said, "typically those that come here are looking for something. Sometimes they know what they are looking for and where they are going, others are just as clueless as you two."

"Do you think you can help us?" Ezra asked

"It depends? Tell me your names first, then what you are looking for."

"I'm Ezra. Ezra Bridger. This is my girlfriend, Sabine Wren. We are looking for a planet. Only we don't know which ones. One of thousands."

"Hm," she said, thinking, "I might have just what you need."

She began walking away. Ezra and Sabine exchanged a confused look and followed her. They went down a spiral staircase and came upon a hall of doors. She entered the first one on the right.

Before Ezra stepped into the room, he heard a very, very, very faint "NO! COME BACK!" which sounded like it came from a little girl. He looked in the direction, and saw nothing. He then entere the room. It was massive. It also had a projector of sorts in the center. The woman pressed a few buttons on it, and a massive star chart was projected around the room. Planets and their stars littered the air.

"Whoa," was all Sabine could say.

"These are all the known systems in the galaxy," she said, "Young man, I can see that you are a Jedi. Use the Force to find your planet."

Ezra was about to ask how she knew, but then remembered that he still had his lightsaber. He closed his eyes and let the force guide him. It guided him straight into a wall.

"It would seem that the Force is calling you to uncharted space," she said, "and unless you have a map of systems beyond the Outer Rim, you are out of luck."

Sabine then remembered, before they made Chopper Base the home of Pheonix Squad they had such a map. It was from the Lasat that they rescued and took to Lira San. She had saved the map into both her old and new vambraces.

"Is it possible to plug my vambraces into the projector?" she asked her.

"Yes," was the reply, "Just be careful. You might want to take them off, though. One Mandalorian didn't and wound up tasting meiloorun for weeks."

Sabine took off her vambraces and plugged them into the holoprojector. More star systems appeared around the room. Ezra closed his eyes and let the force guide him, again. This time, though, he took it slower. While walking, he began to experience his vision again: fat red man with mustache cackling, green planet, hodgepodge droids, "Welcome to the Freedom Fighters". He stopped after the vision ended and, had the planets been solid, he held a planet in the palm of his hand.

"Found it," he said.

He looked at what the nearest charted planet was. It was Batuu. Even with the closest charted planet being there, it was still several lightyears away.

"We leave tomorrow," Ezra said, "tonight, we rest and get fuel."

"Thank you," Sabine said, "for your help ma'am."

"Call me Maz," she replied, "Maz Kanata."
