Historian discovers sword of wookiee hero

Date: 231009
Planet: Kashyyyk
Region: Shadowed Lands

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Yesterday an archeological expedition on Kashyyyk led by Stlian Nix reached the planet's surface - the so-called "Shadowed Lands" - and discovered a sword that according to first analysis was likely to have been owned by the famous wookiee hero Zaalbar.

Zaalbar is said to have led the revolt to free the Wookies from the yoke of the Czerka Corporation during the Great Jedi Civil War four thousand years ago and was said to have marked all his personal equipment with his initial - and such an initial was found on the sword. Further checks will be needed to determine if the sword is genuine.



The expedition encountered a couple of obstacles and problems on the way down to the surface, such as hostile poachers and wildlife, which forced a number of members to return to the canopy regions prematurely. The archeological site itself had been turned into a predator's lair according to the reports from the expedition and the dangerous animal had to be slain to allow the historian to safely search the site.
