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

The Republic, the Republic that had stood for a thousand years, was dying. As Palpatine tightened the Imperial stranglehold, anyone who stood in his way-the Jedi, the Separatists-were destroyed. In the Senate, a few brave representatives spoke against him-Bail Organa, Padmé Amidala, Mon Mothma. As Palpatine's megalomania grew, they turned to outright rebellion. Their peoples largely supported them, for they were cultures that valued peace and freedom highly.

Among Bail Organa's more vocal supporters was his old nanny. She had married the owner of Alderaan's richest transport company, and put her fortune, her company, her intelligence and her offspring at the fledgling Rebellion's disposal. Her name was Miridh Avram-businesswoman, fighter, Rebel-and I was her granddaughter.
