~Prologue~

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

The planet of Alderaan is in chaos. The evil Trade Federation had begun an attack on the pacifistic planet - both by land and by air.

In order to protect his wife and newborn daughter, the young senator, Bail Organa, managed to help them escape on a ship with a message for the Galactic Senate on Coruscant.

Upon arriving in Coruscant's atmosphere, the shuttle was attacked and Organa's wife - Shmi Skywalker - had no choice but to send her daughter alone to Coruscant with the message...

Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn was on just climbing out of his ship when something near Coruscant's atmosphere caught his eye. A deep space shuttle was being attacked and had ejected an escape pod! Using the force, he sensed a very young life form inside.

Without further thought, the Jedi returned to his ship's cockpit and started after the escape pod. After some minutes of tracking it, the pod landed with a crash in downtown Coruscant. Quickly landing his ship next to the escape pod, Qui-Gon managed to break through the crowd with relative ease to reach the pod's door.

Inside was a newborn baby no older than a month old. She had lovely chubby cheeks and a head covered in thick dark hair. She didn't cry as the Jedi picked her up, merely looked up at him with wide brown eyes. Around her neck was a clear round-shaped Rock pendant with an elegant golden-lettered script inscribed on it, Amelia.

"Hello, Mia." She cooed at the nickname. "Why are you in this escape pod by yourself?"

Of course the infant didn't answer, just looked at him with her big brown eyes. Shaking his head, Qui-Gon allowed his sharp eyes to search the inside of the pod and soon found a small recording device. With barely any thought, he turned away from the crashed escape pod and walked back to his ship with Amelia cradled protectively in his arms.

The journey back to the Jedi Temple was a quick one. Upon his arrival, he was met with his former master Dooku.

"Qui-Gon! What is the meaning of this?" Dooku demanded, shock covering his face as the Jedi Knight walked in with a baby in his arms.

Ignoring his question, Qui-Gon asked, "Is Master Yoda in the council chambers?"

"Yes, but-"

The aging Jedi Master didn't have time to ask any more questions as his former padawan strode down the corridor with the infant. He didn't stop until he reached the council chambers and knocked. Almost immediately he was let in.

"Qui-Gon, seek me have you?" Master Yoda asked, his ears perking up at the Jedi's arrival.

"Yes, master." Qui-Gon nodded. "I was exiting my ship when I caught sight of something just passing the atmosphere. It was an escape pod with one passenger. This one." He lifted his arms slightly where he still held the baby girl. "This was also with her." He held out the small recording device.

"Play it if you will," Yoda told him to which Qui-Gon did.

The moment the message began playing, both Jedis recognized the voice of the young Alderaanian senator, Bail Organa. In his message Senator Organa began to explain how the Trade Federation had gone and attacked Alderaan by both aerial and ground assault. After a moment the message fizzed out, signifying that it was over.

Silence passed between the two Jedi, both in shock at learning the news. Yoda's shocked face soon became grim. "In deep trouble Alderaan is," the old Jedi Master said. "Need of help it is."

"What shall we do, master?" Qui-Gon asked.

"We?" Yoda gazed at his fellow Jedi. "Leave the Galactic Senate decide, we shall."

"And if they do nothing?"

"It's not the Jedis place," Master Yoda stated firmly.

Suddenly the infant in Qui-Gon's arms began fussing, catching the attention of the old Jedi Master. "A Jedi this child will be," Yoda murmured. "Strong with the Force this child is."

"How can you tell, master?" the younger Jedi asked. "She is but a month old."

"Seeking someone through the Force this child is. A mother perhaps?" Yoda mused.

Qui-Gon tilted his head slightly and gazed down at the baby girl in his arms. Using the Force, he gently sent soothing thoughts to her. To his surprise she calmed almost immediately. The Jedi looked back at Yoda, shocked.

"A bond you have with the child, a father to her you'll be." The old Jedi Master nodded to the younger.

"A father?" Qui-Gon asked, bewildered. "What about the Jedi Master who will train her?"

Yoda was silent for a few moments. His old eyes closed in deep thought, or maybe it was meditation? Making up his mind, the old Jedi reopened his eyes and met Qui-Gon's steadily. "Only time will tell. Train her, I shall."
