You don't know what you will find, but remember the Council sensed great danger. It does also have a reputation of being a pirate stronghold...

Historically, and probably currently. Or at least there might be pirates nearby. But us Renegades will sort things out while the Jedi stand back and see how it's done.

The "We're explorers" plan seems solid to me.
I wish we had the time to use contacts and such. My ex-pirate contact might have some info we could use. Maybe shoot him an e-mail on the way to the ships?

Well I'll give you a hit on a specific pirate contact.
He'll tell you about the legend of the White Fortress. The legend says it's not one building but hundreds. Every single time a new pirate or outlaw group settles there, they find the fortifications of the group before, inhabit the and build upon them. This has happened over and over and over for thousands of years; no-one ever sought to build a Fortress, but overlay after overlay has caused it to grow into a city-sized mismash of fortifications from a hundred cultures dating back over thousands of years.
No-one can know what is in there- it's completely unnavigable. It could hold all sorts of secrets about the past.
He has no idea about the stellar radiation thing- but he certainly knows the legend is cursed. Every pirate group finds the previous fortifications abandoned or shattered. This isn't some strange ghost story- it's just failure. They generally destroy themselves. Every pirate group that ever tried to hold it crashed and burned. Eventually, the White Fortress stopped being a mark of power and more a prophecy of failure- that's probably why people stopped looking for it in the end.

What with the radiation, it just sounds like a pain in the ass trying to hold onto that place for too long. It does make Xeth feel like they won't meet anyone out there, but better to be prepared.
Xeth will thank Wentar for keeping in touch with low-lifes.

"Not that you'll listen," he adds, "as you've always had this weird idea about trying to do the 'right thing'... but I wouldn't go if I were you. That place never bought anyone anything but ruin."

Wentar will remind Xeth that while Loj'oon was once a notorious pirate, he has done plenty to try redeem himself. "Calling him a low-life is unfair," he says simply.
-
"I understand Loj'oon," Wentar says. "And I appreciate the warning. Truth be told we sense great danger in going there, but it must be done. Thank you for the information, if I make it back in one piece I owe you one."
-
So that was actually really informative. A place like that would be a nightmare for a regular person to navigate but a force sensitive would have better chances at locating what they're looking for. Perfect place to hide the scrolls, it might also explain why Adelmo didn't have time to find it the first time she was there.

Alright, then we're off! You'll be away from civilization for a while.

To the skies! How far out is the White Fortress anyway?
-
So we have a city sized mess of buildings to navigate when we get there. Do we know if the White Fortress was in use during the time of Kezan? Or did it already have the rumored "curse" around then and was already abandoned?
I only ask because if it was already abandoned then no one has probably added much to it since then and thus there isn't much we could safely eliminate in our search.

Mess of buildings on top of each other. The original bits are likely the equivalent of miles underground by now.
The name has been used by pirate groups during the Malphan wars, yes. It is only in recent centuries that it has dropped off.

So we are gonna have to delve deep into this mess. Sounds like a cinematic place for a fight.
We should do a few things, like marking our route when we get there so that if we have to call the calvary they know how to get to us.
Also this sounds a bit "mausoleum-y" and I don't really like that.

Gallagher wonders who, if anyone, they will find trying to commandeer the White Fortress now. He hopes that they will still reach it before Lady Adelmo, so they can stop her in time. He also hopes they have the power to do so, as a group.

And we're all off! Too late for regrets now...
It's a long voyage, though two of you have been out further. This is pretty distant. It's too far from the Republic to be a good striking base for pirates; they must have mostly picked on other local powers that existed in ages past. On the other hand, you could do almost anything here and not be noticed; the main problem is normally finding decent facilities.
The moment you drop out of hyperspace, you know this can't have been a wild goose chase. Where normally this far out, you emerge out into a comms silence, far from the constant signals chatter of civilization, here you are getting signals at once.
There are ships in the system, ships in orbit, ships making a landing on the planet which, in its bright white glory, can only be the one you are looking for.
Signals from the surface too. Not just comms; energy readings. High technology, and on a large scale. In fact... that's one is an energy shield.

Wentar is very surprised to see the planet so busy. He double checks The Free Flier's scanners to make sure the radiation isn't playing havoc with the sensors.
"This may make things trickier," he says to himself or whoever has joined him on his ship.
Are we being hailed?

You haven't made a close approach to the planet yet, but you imagine you will be if you do.

Vera-Kin also did not expect anything out here, especially considering what Wentar's contact told him about this place. She quickly eyes the ships in orbit and approaching the White Fortess, to see if they just arrived themselves and what sort of ships they are.

No, they have not just arrived; this is an established pattern here of something going on a while.
There is no continuity to the ships- they do not seem flagged, and they are of many different types and sizes.

"We shouldn't lie about who we are," Gallagher pipes up, suddenly.
He recalls his vision, surprised at himself for not recalling it earlier. He owes it to the long fight against the droids and his mounting worry about Adelmo.
"I foresaw our arrival here," Gallagher continues. "They will to hail us when we approach, and then they will meet us after we land. How they approach us the second time is determined by what we say now. If we act too cautious, it could kill us."

My vision:
You see a barren planet- yet at once barren and full of life, of what you see of it.
You are both approaching the planet and on it, at different times. At both times, you are being queried. The people on the planet aren't expecting you. They are wary of you. There are many of them, and dangerous. Things could go very badly for you.
They are asking who you are, both times. The first time, you are on your ships, approaching the planet. The second, you are already on the planet; they have come to see you as you arrive. They come either curiously... or violently. How they come that second time... depends on how you answered them the first time.
Caution may kill you. Be bold.
