Report Freeform: "Arrived on Nirauan using the Ancient Network from Dosuun. Gateway facility was shut down with critical failures to it's security and basic systems. The bunker housing the gateway looked untouched for several hundred years. Exit was protected by a powerful shield that deactivated when Crusader Rizsazal flipped a lever. The lever was similar to the one that activated the node at the Hall of the Founders and brought the node online - Undetermined if the lever was the reason the shield dropped or not.
Exiting the bunker the surrounding area was hot and baron. Closer inspection of the landscape showed a large circular plane of destruction with the gateway at the epicentre. Five skeletons were found and their echoes in the Force tapped into. An unbearable amount of pain, panic, and destruction was felt. A datapad was recovered from one of the skeletons with an early symbol of the Architect present.
We were unable to bring up old schematics of the surrounding area from the main computer inside bunker. Crusader Rizsazal wondered off to explore the destruction on her own without telling anyone where she was going. Adept Geodobe and Initiate Sha'drix were sent to find her but were forced to return when Geodobe showed signs of heat exhaustion. Crusader Rizsazal returned after hour later with a sword and five furry creatures that could survive the harsh environment.
Crusader Rizsazal revealed she had found a second bunker closer to the Ancient Tower that we went to investigate. Templar Aveus stayed behind to get a medical team to site to treat Geodobe's heat exhaustion. The second bunker appeared to be a safe room with a collapsed escape tunnel leading somewhere ground. An attempt was made to clear the rubble for us to investigate when Templar Aveus warned me of an immediate threat that was about to wipe us out.
The hot temperature outside was cooling rapidly and we abandoned our search to sprint back to the gateway. Reversing the lever Crusader Rizsazal flipped upon arrival did not restore the protective shield around the gateway so we jumped back through the Ancient Network right as the unseen weapon impacted behind us."
Evalutation: Veefshya Shipyard is no longer in orbit unless shielded or hidden. Suspicion the station was still there only hidden and cloaked - could be the reason for the shield lowering once we were detected inside, but unable to confirm. The ground facilities were destroyed as the target of a superlaser strike in the past and related to the sudden attack we narrowly escaped. How and why remain a mystery. Evaluation inconclusive.
Recommendations: "Too many questions left unanswered. Return to site requested to re-assess mission evaluation and preform scans from orbit. Recovered datapad to be stripped and data reconstruction preformed to give insight on ground operations. Place fur balls Crusader Rizsazal collected in containment for future study. Discuss ways to improve communication with Crusader Rizsazal for future operations.
Templar Aveus believes the destruction we escaped was triggered because he - a Seeker of the Ordo - was present on Nirauan, attacked from a threat beyond our universe possibly related to the Tower. Templar Aveus and Master Templar Teregun to investigate further."
