Caterans Tail by Broken Rose
A/N This is a Star Wars universe tale, however some parts of the Star Wars as you know it from the books and the movies will not happen or have been changed to suite the whim of the author. This is purely a work of fiction, no money can be made off this and the universe of Star Wars still belongs to George Lucas and the writers of the books and comics, and only they have the monetary rights to it.

A little bit of Star Wars Facts:
Ambria- Desert planet much like Tatooine, was originally home of a Sith Lady, when she died the Dark side of the force was released over the planet, turning it barren. When Master Thon Arrived there, he forced all of the darkness back into one lake on the planet, which was quite a feat at the time, after Thons death no one knows what happened to the planet.
4 Millenia ago was the great Sith War, the Jedi Knights and Masters against Exar Kun, Exar Kun was the closest aside from Palpatine to eradicate the Jedi, His Master plan was to have the former apprentices kill their former masters, all but one succeeded in the deed, the only Master that was not killed was Master Thon, his Apprentice Nomi Sunrider Stopped the assasination attempt on his life. for better knowledge see the Jedi Tales by Dark Horse Comics.
Naboo/Gungan- no one knows what happened to the planet after Palpatines betrayl and the end to most the Jedi, so for the interest of this story it has been hidden and is only referred to as Gunga(Gunganus)
Any other questions just ask away and ill answer to the best of my ability or at least refer you to the book you will want for your answer.
