Part I

The crew of The Kraken's Kiss regroups at the Rebel Alliance's camp on Krant and spends some time recovering from recent events and examining the recovered Sith Crystal. Though perhaps the least studied of the crew it is Gand who recognizes the crystal, or the power that resides inside of it, and tells a story of The Outsider from the ancient times. The Outsider was a powerful force from long ago who took refuge and disappeared on the planet Gand years ago, there have been many who have searched for him, few are ever seen again and none have found him. Whoever he is. Intrigued by the story, especially Malloc, the crew departs for Gand to search for more information.

The crew stops at Nar Shaddaa on the way to Gand to purchase a new security droid for their ship as well as respirators for Malloc and Baric who won't be able to breathe on Gand. The crew jumps out of hyperspace nearby the planet and quickly drops into the mist of the planet to go in and land undetected, landing the ship approximately a day outside of the crater. Gand goes to a nearby village to get some additional information which provides the group some guidance on how to navigate the crater before they enter.

The crew sets out for the crater and enters at the fault line they were told to use which would prevent them from having to scale the mountain sized crater. Though they have significant trouble crossing the chasm they eventually do and are able to descend into the crater, though their pace is slow due to the rough terrain and thick mist obscuring their vision. Camp for the night and are attacked by a lone, frighteningly large insect creature during the night, though they are able to kill it with only minor trouble. The next day their exploration leads them to a second fissure in the crater, which they follow to a center point where multiple fissures meet in a large, deep hole that seems to be drawing the mist into it. Deep below they see bridges, that crisscross the hole, the highest of which they are able to reach by carefully rappelling into it and encounter ancient battle droids and wind worn stone statues.

The bridges lead to entrances into the walls of the hole, which the group follows into a deep, long series of tunnels that seem to lead the crew deeper and deeper into the planet. There are branch tunnels off the one they entered, but the group stays with the original tunnel and eventually are lead back to the hole, much much further down. The tunnels ends with four stone platforms in the hole, each with a large mysterious crystal on it. The mist seems to be drawn to the crystals, but they are otherwise unable to learn anything about them, until Gand simply shoots the nearest one. A human form is released from the crystal and immediately appears to be hostile, attempting to posses Gand and attacking the group. Though the spirit shows significant power with the force, the group is able to gun it down before any grave damage is done to the crew.

Part II

After barely surviving their first encounter with a released Sith spirit the group decides that breaking more of the crystals might not be in their best interest.
