Who: Ryu vs Malystrix
Rules: Light-to-no armor, top 10 Force powers, melee only.
Location:
Shawken Spire:
The Shawken Spire is a skyscraper constructed on the planet Shawken which took nine thousand years in its original incarnation and ultimately pierced the planet's atmosphere to reach its peak into low orbit. It was destroyed in 18,780 BBY. In the year 10,000 BBY, the historian Vicendi included it in his list of the Twenty Wonders of the Galaxy, published in his work Arturum Galactinum. In 43 ABY, the spire was rebuild to modern standards.
The duelists find themselves in the uppermost room of the spire, an ultimate tourist destination on this well-civilized world. The room is a 20-meter diameter circle, with its wall fully constructed from transparisteel to provide an unparalleled view compared to anywhere else in the universe. The curvature of the planet is plainly evident, the movement of clouds through the atmosphere below is likewise visible, and some other noteworthy construction marvels on the surface are visible from here. As dusk descends across the planet, the city lights clustered in their hubs below dot the surface.
This high up, the otherwise standard gravity of the planet Shawken is noticeably weaker. The elevators leading to the lower floors are currently out of service. The duelists can go no higher than this room, save for a maintenance hatch in the ceiling that permits external access to the spire's needle. But to go outside requires some way to compensate for the rarefied atmosphere, and a tether to avoid being lost to space, or a long fall to the surface...
