The Memory of Corellia exits hyperspace in the Epsilon system, but nowhere near Epsilon III. It exits hyperspace close to the event horizon the black hole outside the system.
"Ok, we're here." Jor said.
"Where?" Kell asked.
"This is it. It was at this point that Kosh disappeared. Just look at the sensors. Time and space are seriously screwed over around this area. They tore a whole open in reality to leave our universe and this is where they did it." Jor answered, staring off into the space towards the black hole.
"Isn't it dangerous to stare into a black hole? Something about madness? Insanity?" Kell asked worried.
"Bah, they say the same thing about staring into the hyperspace tunnel. No, this is where they left our universe... well, where most of them left. one or two stayed behind. I met one once." Jor said. "The galaxy owes him a debt of gratitude."
"But what are we doing here? What happened to you? Why this place?" Kell asked. He was frustrated that he didn't know what the hell was going on.
"because i think an old friend is going to come back to us, and the point he arrives at will be here." Jor answered. "back on Nar Shaddaa i was contacted by a hugely powerful telepathic mind... only it wasn't... it's hard to explain. I wasn't being contacted by an external mind. Whoever it was, it's mind was within my own. I think it's the remains of Kosh's personality."
"And this, Kosh, told you to go here?" Kell asked. "Why, so he can join his people?"
"No, something else. He told me someone else is returning at this point, and if it's true, well... the galaxy would certainly not be worse off." Jor said. "Kosh told me... well, he told me..."
Jor was cut off by a brilliant flash of light. An energy burst formed off the Memories bow and exploded outwards. The ships sensors couldn't identify the burst but within seconds the ship was enveloped in the energy. Bright light filled the cockpit and both Jor and Kell had to divert their eyes to avoid being blinded.
The light penetrated every corner of the ship, through the metal and circuits. The ships power levels spiked, the pilot console sparked. The hyperdrive in the engine room surged power and exploded, filling the engine spaces with smoke.
Jor killed the engines and started to shut down the reactor but was a little late. The reactor levels sparked and coolant burst from the lines. But then, just as quickly as the light appeared, it vanished. again, Jor and Kell and the ship were floating in the black, alone and boring.
"What the hell was that Kell asked."
A voice from the back of the cockpit answered the question before Jor could. "You thought inter-dimensional travel wouldn't be a spectacular sight?"
The two Jedi turned around to look at who had somehow boarded the ship during the light. He was humanoid, extremely tall, about 7'3". He was large and he wore armor that looked like it was made from Mandalorian armor and the skin of a droid. He had redish skin and a goofy smile on his lips.
On his belt was a weapon Jor would have recognized anywhere. It was a disruptor pistol, with a specialized revolver type chamber that allowed six individual power cells to be loaded at a time.
"Hey Jor, who's this guy?" The newcomer asked. He turned to Kell and bowed his head. "My name is Six. I'm a Gen'Dai who once help Jor here on a few of his adventures."
"Ok, we're here." Jor said.
"Where?" Kell asked.
"This is it. It was at this point that Kosh disappeared. Just look at the sensors. Time and space are seriously screwed over around this area. They tore a whole open in reality to leave our universe and this is where they did it." Jor answered, staring off into the space towards the black hole.
