The small ship sailed quietly under a blanket of stars in the outer ring of the galaxy. The young pilot that steered the small ship was a girl, and at twenty-one years of age, a very good pilot, to the surprise of many. At her hip, a blaster sat snug, pushing lightly against the seat that she sat in. Her dark brown eyes were trained only on the open space in front of her, and her wavy brown hair framed her face in a way that made her look almost professional.
Her name was Annacaza Anara, though nearly everybody who had encountered her called her by her common nickname, Anna. She was a soloist wanderer of the galaxy, with no specific home, but sometimes was involved in the dangerous art of smuggling for a living. She was very stealthy, which gave her the ability to avoid being caught easily, and as a result, her flying skills had increased dramatically. She didn't always smuggle, but when she did, she was always very attentive to her surroundings. Currently, she was cruising along over the atmosphere of Dagobah. She was flying almost care-free, completely relaxed, and leaning back in her seat.
It was what caught her by surprise when the dreaded failure alarm went off and the red lights started flashing. It was within an instant that she was sitting up in her seat, trying to sort of the problem, but she didn't have much time. The ship as on a decline, heading towards Dagobah. Her face crossed with confusion and partial fear, but it was rare that she would show her fear. Then again, it was rare for her ship to malfunction. Never before had it been so concealed. There were at least five different problems. She knew that she had no chance to fix it within the time frame she had.
Fighting desperately to keep the ship under control, Anna began to prepare for a crash landing on Dagobah. She had never been to the swampy planet, and for good reason. She had never found it appealing in any way. It felt like there was something within the planet that could hold a dark power, one that she did not want to experiment with. Now, she was forced to land on it to save her life.
Anna pulled up hard on the ship, and it lifted ever so slightly, She entered into the murky atmosphere of the planet, and tried once again to pull up. Tree limbs whacked at the side of her ship, and she could hear the sound of the uneven ground scratching the belly of her ship. She suddenly lurched as the ship hit the ground, but didn't slow down, no matter how hard she tried. Her momentum came to a grinding halt when the ship smashed right into a tree, and she lurched forward, nearly flying right out of the ship. As she reached the peak of her momentum, her head struck the tree, and she was unconscious before she returned to her seat.
