003 Hoth

I arrived on Hoth a week later.

"It's cold" I muttered as I turned on the engine of the Delta-7 and used it as a heat source. I grabbed the parts that I bought and constructed my own machines for excavation. We excavated a small tunnel system to get us out of the snow. It was slow and took an entire day. I wanted to sleep in my ship but it was a heavy snowstorm and I didn't want to freeze my ass off out there so I had to continue making excavation robots to deal with my problems for now.

I also brought the necessary stuff to live in this small tunnel. I also used some materials to create a miniature arc reactor and linked it up with a electronic heat source.

Slowly, the droids managed to create a steep tunnel in a week's time but I still couldn't get far enough to reach the Star of Coruscant. It has been stuck under the ice for several tens of millennia. It would take some time to find it. It got colder and colder as I went further down into the ice. We were a hundred feet below the surface. Half a month passes and we barely saw something deep in the ice. Another half a month passes and we finally got to the outer armor of the ship.

"Finally" I grinned in excitement

We were thousands of feet underground now. My ship probably needed extensive repairs or it needed to be scrapped since I have left it out there for so long.

We spent another two months to carve out a hole along the side of the ship. I was trying to find the entrance. The ship was destroyed in some area's but it was still humongous. Even if only the hull remained intact, I can still find the hidden data on the weapons and ships in their databanks stored inside the central computer.

A week later, we finally found the entrance. It was actually not that far from our area. I entered the ship and found out that it was one of the many hangers. There were ships here and there but they were wreaked or are unable to be used due to the ice completely frying their systems and engines. I took apart the ice and stripped the vehicles of everything. I needed these parts to create new droids if I am to venture further in.

I created more droids to help with the construction and turning the hanger into a base for me. I took apart everything I could and made more droids. I sent them on scouting missions inside the ship.

It took them a day or two to find the engine room. I simply walked inside and did whatever repairs I can to make the ship operable again. After week of repairs, the ship came back to life. Lights came on and I barely managed to get the heating systems on. The other systems on the other hand are either useless or are too damaged to get a full repair. The pirates that had occupied this ship several millennia ago had backup fuel cells they have hidden in containers to protect them from the cold.

Most of the fuel went bad and couldn't be used and only a few of them could be used, but there was enough to last us for two years. I went into the main control center and started up the system. I inputted a passcode from my memories as one of them was a member on board the Star of Coruscant when it fell.

The system seems a bit messed up. I quickly sorted out the corrupted or lost files and threw them away before looking through the ones that could be accessed. I took out all of them as to study them later on.

I also went and found several undamaged hard drives. After that, I began to take apart whatever I could, undamaged electronic pieces, wires, chips, everything. It took some time but I created my very own AI, Hel.

Next I checked up on the armory and crew quarters. There were a couple sets of armor lying around. Some Republic trooper armor and a Jedi armor from the Old Republic. I didn't expect to find one here, I expected the Pirates to take them away. There were an entire arsenal of weapons but none of them work, so I just took them all with me and took them apart for later use. I didn't find any holocrons, but I did find a couple lightsabers from the Jedi, Sith, and Eternal Empire. As for how they got here, I don't know and probably won't care.

I only searched a third of the ship in half a year. But this one third, gave me all the information and resources I needed.

"Hel, help me setup the work shop for me"

[The weapons workshop or...]

"Actually, help me set up the forge first"

[Will be done in a couple minutes]

I walked across the hallway and eventually entered the furnace room where I completely changed into a smeltery.

I threw the materials into the furnace and waited for it to smelt.

"Hel, help me make design number 4"

[The prototype lightsaber? But, it's only a theoretical design it might not work]

"Do it"

[acknowledged]

I decided to forge a new lightsaber. After months of working my brain on overtime, I decided to create a brand new type of lightsaber. I wanted to use nanotechnology to create a lightsaber. I just threw a lot of valuable material into the furnace on a project that was never tested. I wanted the lightsaber to be in the form of a belt, it would be laid on my original belt on my robes and then it would be able to transform into a lightsaber. Kyber Crystals would be put onto the belt and would be covered up by the nanomaterials. If I wanted a lightsaber, all I need to do is just use the force to make the transformation possible. Not to mention, if I can pull this off, I can constantly change my lightsaber during combat.

Well, after an entire day, it went on to be no surprise that I failed in it. The nanomaterials were created but it couldn't be used with a lightsaber. The materials were too delicate and I needed a new material. I frowned at the problem.

"Is there no other way?" I asked

[No, unless you can get ores resistant to lightsabers, the nanomaterials won't be able to handle the heat from it]

I feel into deep thought.

There were only a few other materials I could think of that would be able to resist lightsabers besides Beskar. Beskar is rare and I won't be able to get off of Hoth to get some.

[If it helps, there are some info about a storage somewhere on this ship. It may have what we need]

"Will they have the material we need" I asked

[It could have it, there were reports of a small stash of songsteel being transported onboard]

"Good, that leaves us with some options" I nodded

I took the next year to search the entire ship for the materials. It didn't take long after searching the ship to find the storage room. I frowned when I saw the nearly empty storage room.

I opened crate after crate and found nothing of importance. "Kriff" I cursed in disappointment

[You might want to check for hidden areas] Hel advised

I closed my eyes and used the force to sense my surroundings. 'Nothing. Nothing. No-'

My eyes brightened up and opened up the wall, revealing many shiny frozen materials. I laughed in excitement "Jackpot"

[Congratulations]

"All thanks to you Hel" I said excitedly
