The elevator is a room with shimmering red walls. Looking into the room it appears to have a similar ceiling. Actually being in the room one sees a shimmering tunnel all the way to the star ravaged planet. Being in the tunnel it appears to be completely transparent. The elevator is broken, but the gravity generators are not. One could walk up the wall, and then walk all the way down to the planet inside the transparent tunnel of energy. It's only three hundred thousand kilometers, but safe from the storm. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Alternatively (if they can't fix the elevator or figure out a faster way to travel through the tunnel) they could use their ship/s (once they get them here if they left them back at the barrier generator planet) to fly through the star storm. It's dangerous. Really dangerous. Like "I fought in the Corellian Salt Skirmish. Everyone was either injured or dead after that. I'd rather do that again" dangerous.The planet looks like it fought a boxing match with artillery support and spacecruisers against another planet for twentyfive years and lost every round. It's broken, torn apart, cut open, blackened, scrorched, melted in parts, and oddly disjointed. But just like the hyperspace barrier generator something seems to be keeping its gravity field intact. Everything looks stable. Not stable as in safe. Stable as in 'I built this crazy thing using Lego and somehow its still standing. I think I could add a group of characters on this part without anything falling apart'. The star storm occasionally damages some parts of the planet and more rarely hits other parts clean off. The characters get the sense that this has been more frequent recently, and that the planet won't be here for much longer (a year perhaps, if it gets lucky).Arriving through the elevator the characters reach a barely even there anymore elevator shaft built into the planet that reaches all the way down to the more intact portions. The lower into the crust they get the cooler the temperature becomes. Finally they reach a landing station from the inside. It is wrecked, powerless, and airless.Arriving by ship it very quicky becomes clear that the only safe time and path to fly to the planet is when the moon is blocking the view to the star. They can also detect a power source deep inside the crust of the planet. Following the source leads them directly to the broken down dock. Landing on it the characters find themselves on top of the airless landing station.The doors deeper in are locked with no observable way of opening them and the characters will need to figure out a way to get the power back up.Getting the power back will activate the doors, the protective shield for the dock, and the elevator back to the moon.It will also activate the defenses on the landing station. These are droids made of pure Force. The power system is Light Side, their weapons are Dark Side. What binds them together seems, neutral?</blockquote>
