Chapter 2:

Safe Haven

Five Months Later

everyone was asleep, she crepted into a vacant room and looked into the star charts for a safe place to escape. She said softly, "Are there any planets loyal to

the Republic?" "One", replied the computer, "Coruscant." Suddenly, she felt a kick in her stomach. "I know, baby, I know." She found an escape pod and the

computer said, "Please provide destination." "Coruscant." the woman replied The escape pod jettisoned in the dead of night, in the dead of space. The Force was strong…somewhere.
