        "The progeny of the Builders looked upon the stars for the Black Sun in search of their creators. Every long, taxing journey brought forth nothing. No charts, maps, or word of mouth could discern the location of the Builders' temple, and the world became Forgotten."
        — Book of Proses; Ambakoum 5:12

      OBLITUS MUNDI, THE FORGOTTEN WORLD — As the vessels arrived, it was obvious from the start the entire system was an anomaly. The star in the center of the system was a strange black mass with a glowing white-yellow border around it. Only two other celestial bodies and a massive ring of asteroids inhabited the system with the strange star, with one being a terrestrial planet with a breathable atmosphere and the other being a brown dwarf.

      Strangely though, the only explorable planet's description matched that of the mythical Forgotten World, the center of a group of stories from ancient texts that predate the Mandalorians by several hundred years. However, preliminary scans would reveal the world was not what was hoped to be long ago. It was decimated, what looked to be ruins or wrecks running along a band of hilly plains along the northern latitudes and not a single life sign. However, further exploration could still bear fruit.

Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer."

The world was as near to a planet wide cemetery with all it's ruins and destruction that had visited the planet. Few Mandalorians had a rule against grave robbing being most times the cause of death. Here it was going to be no different as flocks of Mantis and Fire spray gunships left the miradd of ships most dating back as far as the first "crusades" of the Mandalorians and, ships of the more modern design. Already on the planet the roving bands of hunters where picking over the carcass of the long dead civilization. Some looking for weapons and armor others for cultural items and, others still hunted for what may point to the cause of the desolation that had visited the planet. All the while those still in space stared uneasily at the "sun" of this system. The likeness in appearance of a black hole unnerved many of them.
