Chapter 3 - To Cholganna

Indeed, this ship has been here since the end of the Clone Wars. With just a little investigation you are sure that this is the engine section of a Banking Clan Frigate. AD-hoc surmises from the angle of the impact and gouge marks in the rocky sides of the river gorge that the rest of the ship may continue to the North along the river.

Pergano is pretty sure there's nothing of real value in the Engine section of the ship. At least three quarters of the section is flooded and the rushing water has rusted and worn most of what you can see. Also, from the angle that the ship is wedged in, it would probably take climbing gear just to get into the ship and exploring could be quite dangerous.

Heading north around the engine section brings into full view the lake that has been created by the engine sections blockage of this small river. A large flat-ish area runs along the East side of the lake.

You continue North for several more hours when on the lake’s eastern shore, you see what at first appears to be a large, irregularly shaped hill randomly covered in vines and scraggly vegetation, partially concealed by the jungle canopy. Perched on the hill at a prominent but odd angle appears to be the ruins of a large building with most of the transparisteel windows broken out. You suddenly realize you're looking at the forward, sloped section of the [i]Sa Nalaor[i] and its bridge. It is facing northwest, toward the lake. Its forward, shell-like hull is splayed, with the lower decks buried and crushed into the old river bank.

Finding an entrance to the ship is the easier than you'd think, numerous gashes in the hull from the crash as well as empty escape pod tubes allow entrance. As you walk along the ship, you can see that the transparisteel windows from the bridge are shattered. You could climb up to or possibly be lowered onto the bridge through the broken windows. Also, you see several spots around the ship that are big enough for your ship to land. The tree canopy hides them from the air, but from the ground they appear simple enough for a ship to come in.
