A/N: I do not own anything in the Star Wars Universe, except my own story lines.
Prologue
They were coming. They had found him, even though he had taken care to leave no indication that he was not Kaidan Salvador, the alias he was using. Yet they had still found him in the lower levels of Coruscant. He hadn't even settled into his new hiding spot, and already he was cornered. He had not had time to make a backdoor yet, and there was only one way in and out of his house-that-wasn't-quite-a-house this deep in Coruscant.
He was not being attacked by stormtroopers for a change, it was only one person. With a lightsaber. He hated that. Palpatine had destroyed the Jedi including his father, and was replacing the Jedi Order with Sith. This one was different, however. He had already fought her once before, at the Fondor Shipyards, and her aim was to capture, not kill. She had been difficult to fight. Only by indulging in his anger at his father's death had allowed him to elude her. He didn't have the skill to defeat her.
Now she was cutting through his door with her violet lightsaber. He had only seconds, and he was trapped in his bedroom, with nowhere to run. He activated his lightsaber, as his only option left was to fight.
The door fell in, and Kam Solusar jumped out at her, attacking when she was still off guard. She hastily blocked his strike, and began fighting defensively and retreating, out of his living room into the street. Kam saw blue arcs coming at him from the side, and he realized he had lost in the brief moment before blackness took him.
Mara Jade, Emperor's Hand, quickly disarmed the two stormtroopers and killed them with their own weapons. No one must know. Vader would not be suspicious about their deaths, he would assume they ran afoul of a gang. She would be able to train an apprentice who could go head to head with Vader and eliminate him secretly.
