Lucen doesn't match any species that you have spend time studying, at least not that you can remember.
Anyone that has Knowledge (Galactic lore) as a trained skill can make a check if they wish after Ceelell asks about Jedi being able to do what he asks if they can do.
Looking at Ceelel and Klonsa when they ask about being preserved for 300 years, Lucen replies to them.
"Nothing can die on these moons or the world below, at least not from aging or from starvation. The storms, accidents, meteors, or the bright lances from the raiders . . . these things bring death, but a lack of food, or the passage of time, death is not in these things."
Klonsa turns to stare at the Khil in disbelief. How can the Khil just accept something so impossible while he, a Force User, could not. Panic began to give way to fear, the Sith training he originally received began to surface, crush fear with anger. A dark cloud began to cross his face then a point of light appeared within his mind. The memory of Revan sparing Shasa, himself and the others comes to his mind. His newer Jedi training takes hold he closes his eyes and he begins to mutter.
I shouldn't speak up like I don't know something is possible until I check whether I do or not I suppose. But since my streak with knowledge checks seems to be maintained, I suspect that Ceelell probably doesn't. Galactic Lore (1d20+8=14)

For Ceelell:
Spoiler:
You're fine . . . Ceelell does, indeed, not know anything regarding Jedi and hibernation.

"What you sssay about the propertiesss of thisss plassse isss fasssinating. I would relishh the opportunity to ssstudy them...sssee if they can be contained." Remar says this all off-handedly, not caring whether anyone is actually listening. The primary focus of his attention is HK-22, as he tries to verify the droid is operational.
Following on from the revelation in her mind that Lucen doesn't know what a Twilek is, Aruuna thinks a moment before speaking.
'Have you ever heard of Coruscant? The Republic? Jedi? Do you perhaps have a Star Map of some sort?'
"Jedi? That is what the One Who Disappeared is, correct? Jedi are like us? They feel things without their bodies? Is this correct?"
"I have not heard of Coruscant, or this Republic . . . some of the wrecks may have star maps of some sort. My people do not use them. We can defy gravity for periods of time, and the vacuum does not harm us, so we travel freely from the moons to the surface without ships. We have no desire to leave the moons, and we avoid the planet."

We have no desire to leave the moons, and we avoid the planet."
'Well.. the one who disappeared was a Jedi. He was Master Kraalim. Yes, we can feel things through what we call the Force.'
She ponders a moment, obviously careful in talking to Lucen, trying to find out as much as possible.
'Where are we? I mean.. what is outside? Vacuum, or an atmosphere we can breath? Are we on a planet?'
'Where are we? I mean.. what is outside? Vacuum, or an atmosphere we can breath? Are we on a planet?'
"I believe the survivors call this place Iego. You are on one of Iego's moons, which is where my people live. Most of the shipwrecks fall all the way to the planet, but a few, those that aren't battered to pieces by the debris, come to rest on the moons."
"You should be able to breathe on this moon. Oh, that reminds me of why I was hoping you would wake up . . . the other shipwreck."

"Other shipwreck? Could you show us? And please tell me there is water on this moon."
"Other shipwreck? Could you show us? And please tell me there is water on this moon."
"The storms are dangerous right now, but I think I could bring you some water. My people can feel the storm and avoid the worst of it. The other shipwreck was strange. It crashed, but not for the reason the ships normally crash. It seemed to try to crash, and then things like him came out,"
Lucen points at HK-22.
"Except not with all of the brown and orange stuff on them. These are shinny, with silver, red, and black on them, like the colors that the raiders wear when they have found this place."

"Wrecksss...plural?" Remar pauses in his examination of the droid (Mechanics = d20+9=21) to look up, seeming rather like an addict in a spice mine.

"Please tell us about these Raiders. You mentioned before that they bring death right."
Klonsa's eyes wander towards HK-22 wondering who these droids from the other wreck serve.

For Remar:
Spoiler:
Except for a few dents and a little bit more rust, HK-22 seems none the worse for wear at this point.
"Ships have been crashing here . . . well, for as long as I can remember. I don't recall many leaving, however, especially if the poor travelers reach the surface of the planet."
"Please tell us about these Raiders. You mentioned before that they bring death right."
Klonsa's eyes wander towards HK-22 wondering who these droids from the other wreck serve.
"Most of those that crash here surprised, or bewildered. Some of them are cruel or scared, but the ones that have wrecked here more recently have said that they claim this system as their own. They wreck just like everyone else.
They grow angry when they cannot escape, and they try to control us or kill us. They feel things with their minds, like we do, and like the Jedi, but they are cruel, like the Demons below are.
When they attack, they create storms, like the ones that occur naturally on the moons, and they attack with bright, angry, red lances of light.
These metal things from the last ship that just crashed aren't living things, but they have the same colors and symbols that the cruel, Demon-like ones wear."
When you reach out with the Force, you can feel Lucen, right in front of you, as well as a score or so of others that "feel" very much like Lucen, near the edge of your range, in perhaps two separate groups.
After his speech with the master Jedi, Groodar turns to look at the droid who has opened the door. Groodar is not skilled in the technology aspect of knowledge but he is well-versed in droids and realizes this droid needs much maintenance and possibly upgrading with his skills.
As the large sound is heard from the rear of the ship Groodar lends an ear to try and identify the cause of the sound.

"Ships have been crashing here . . . well, for as long as I can remember. I don't recall many leaving, however, especially if the poor travelers reach the surface of the planet."
As he wraps up his triage of the droid, remar verifies HK-22 is powered on and gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Shhip-shhape." He looks around at the battered cargo hold they're in; light streaming through gaps in the hull. "Ssso to ssspeak."

Aruuna looks around the room after Lucen's description, asking aloud 'I don't suppose anyone might know of any group that has such a symbol? Or what it might be based on? My own knowledge of such things is.. well, lacking.'
After that, she turns back to Lucen. 'Please excuse me. I'm going to go check on the rest of the ship, to see how she's holding up.' With that, she heads over to the door, pressing the buttons to open it and hopefully head into the rest of the ship.

When you move to open the door, it slides halfway open, stops, then slides the rest of the way open, making a horrible screeching noise as it slides the rest of the way open.
Basic: "So perhaps some form of the Sith still exists after all this time. We should be very careful in the coming hours, they've had 300 years to perfect their art."

Grimacing at the screeching sound, she pulls her lightsaber out of her sheath as she starts heading through the bowels of the ship up to the bridge.

For Aruuna and Klonsa:
Spoiler:
As you make your way through the ship, you can see that the hull is breached in a few places, but it looks as though the actual controls in the command section are intact, although the transparisteel will need to be patched.
You also see the captain, his co-pilot, and the chief engineer and tactical officer, all long rotted away in their seats. All of them are strapped in, so its likely that the vacuum killed them, but couldn't suck them out into the void.
From the windshield you can see various arching electrical discharges shooting from surface to surface outside the ship, as if massive static electricity builds up and then arcs from place to place.
The ground outside is littered with large, shield like leaves, as well as a ton of debris, including what you would assume is wreckage from older ships that have crashed here.
While you are in the command section, make a perception check and let me know the result.
Waiting for Klonsa to catch up to her before heading through the ship, she gets to the Bridge. While she's expecting to find the crew dead, she's still shocked to see the state of them.
While on the bridge, Aruuna checks the various consoles, seeing if any still have power, or if any still work, paying particular attention to the navigation and external sensors.
She does make sure not to disturb the remains of the crew while doing this, using her naturally limber body to good effect in this.
I want to take a special look into the ships structure spending a lot of time looking over, and possibly interacting with, the malfunctioning hyperdrive.
Klonsa stares in disbelief at the state of decay the bodies have gone through. The truth of the amount of time that has passed begins to dawn on him. With grim determination he strides toward the bodies looking to see if there isn't any way to move them.
"We should at least prepare some graves for those that have fallen once the storm that Lucen mentioned passes."
HK-22's systems seem to take a long time to come online and when they do, he whirs as he conducts a diagnostic to verify the passage of 300 years.
"Statement: internal chronometers indicate a passage of 300 year. Query: how are the fleshpots still alive? Disappointed query: DOes this mean this unit no longer is authorized to engage in mindless violence?"
Sorry, had to rebuild a deck roof in 95 degree weather. Am hot, bruised and tired. But the roof is done...
Groodar goes to where Danguard is to see if he can lend aid. On his way to the other area of the ship he speaks to the droid HK-22.
Basic: "HK-22 are you functionable, do you need repairs?"
He removes his primitive backback and removes two items from the well-worn leather pouches of the back, a tool kit and a round droid about the size of a bowling ball adorn with numerous lenses.
Groodar activates the droid and it hovers above him.
Rodese: "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong."
Spoiler:
"Author start follow and auto-record protocols."
The droid responds with a barrage of beeps and crackles.
Binary: "Beep, crackle, beep, blip"
Spoiler:
"By your command Groodar."
Groodar checks the hypderdrive to see if it is active or otherwise functionable.
You catch a glint of a reflection on the horizon, and then about a dozen of them, moving toward the ship. They are far too far to make out yet, but they are reflective and they are moving this way.
You can tell from examining the hyperdrive and the engines that extensive damage has been done. You'll need to rebuild the engines, and you'll need to replace most of the hyperdrive before it will work.

For HK-22:
Spoiler:
While HK-22 is in "perfect" operational condition, he does notice that he has accumulated a few extra rust patches on non-structurally integral surfaces.
Basic: Master Jedi, Groodar has determined that these hyperdrive engines are far beyond a simple fix. What do you recommend as our next course of action?"
Master Jedi, Groodar has determined that these hyperdrive engines are far beyond a simple fix. What do you recommend as our next course of action?"
Basic: "I have not attained the rank of master, if a title you must use Knight will suffice. I suspect it's time to scavenge the other ships for working parts, perhaps with some luck a working hyperdrive.
We'd be remiss however in not looking into these raiders, I think all here heard the descriptions and how they seem to all add up to some kind of Sith presence.
HK-22 completes his self exam. "Statement: this unit is perfectly functional. However this unit is in need of routine physical maintenance due to rusting. This unit is not pleased."
HK-22 moves to a computer terminal and attempts to access the computer.

HK-22 moves to a computer terminal and attempts to access the computer.
He'll attempt to use the computer to determine current location and scan for lifesigns besides the Jedi on the shuttle.
For HK-22:
Spoiler:
There is nothing within immediate sensor range beyond the living beings that you are already assuming are on the ship, but there are autonomous mechanical units moving into sensor range toward the ship, although your check cannot determine much more than that at this time.
