A small ship soared through the blue-black of hyperspace. Its destination was the small ice planet of Ilum, where the passengers would take their first steps towards becoming Jedi. The ship was spacious for it's size, able to carry a sizable crew as well as passengers.
Defender-Class Corvette, Oberon
Cander sat cross legged in the engine room of the Oberon, meditating to the quiet hum of the reactor. He traced his memories back to the lessons he had taken on lightsaber construction. He remembered the green grass of Tython, the smell of the trees, the sound of the birds and reptiles chattering in the jungle. "Keep your back straight!" A rough, gravely voice shattered Cander's concentration. His master stood behind him and promptly swatted his back with a wooden staff.
"Master, isn't the point of meditation to relax and clear your mind?" Cander questioned, a hint of irritation entering his voice.
"The point of meditation is to establish discipline in the younglings, Padawan. Now straighten up and begin again." Master Deell turned and left the room, clearly annoyed at his padawan learner. Cander mumbled and incoherent phrase under his breath, something about nerf herding, and began to clear his mind once again. He and his master had a very strained relationship, their differing personalities often causing a vocal argument between the two. They were once banned from temple grounds until they calmed down enough to stop interrupting meditations. The council had considered separating the two, but ultimately decided that both master and apprentice would 'learn from each other'.
