STAR'S ECLIPSE
Chapter 4
As Galen boarded the Rogue Shadow he turned to PROXY, "PROXY, erase the ships history and scramble all signatures."
"Yes Master," replied the holo-droid, and he immediately set to work.
"I should've have thought about that before," said Juno before boarding the ship and setting a course for the Outer Rim. "How are we going to find him?"
"It'll be hard, but from what Master Kota heard from Senator Organa, he was hiding on Tatooine as a hermit," Galen stopped and thought, "Asking in the cantinas should help us find him."
"Master," said PROXY, "The ship is ready to launch."
Suddenly Bail came running toward the Rogue Shadow, "Wait! Galen!" Starkiller and Juno soon saw another, more rugged man behind him.
Bail made it to the ship just as Galen and Juno walked down the boarding ramp. "Galen, this is Ferus Olin." Galen nodded his head in the man's direction. "Ferus was once a Jedi, but he left the Order before the Fall."
"So why is he here?" asked Juno.
"I'd like him to come with you, we need as many Jedi as possible in this war, and Master Kenobi is one of the only surviving members of the Council."
"Very well, come aboard. I'll see you soon hopefully," The trio boarded the Shadow and Juno started the engines.
They waved to Bail as his robes flapped in the winds generated by their ship. Off to a world practically void of lush, green grass.
Aboard the Rogue Shadow
"So Ferus, you were a Jedi?" asked Juno, thinking it best to find out about their newest passenger.
"I was Siri Tachi's apprentice before the Clone Wars broke out, and after an accident I left the Order and found refuge on Bellassa," a look of sadness entered Ferus's face as he spoke of his past.
"How did you meet the Senator?" Marek had walked into the cockpit silently.
"To make a long story short, I worked with Master Kenobi briefly once the Emperor took power and found some of the surviving Jedi, but they were killed once our base exploded."
"I'm sorry," responded Juno.
"It's okay. Death is a part of life, but if you don't mind I need to get some rest," He walked out of the cabin and went towards the bunks.
"Hi," Galen walked over and gave Juno a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting in the chair previously occupied by Ferus, "How far are we from Tatooine?"
"About four or five hours," she looked at him with concern, "How about you get some sleep? I know you've been having some nightmares lately."
It was true, but Galen didn't want to sleep. He was too excited, meeting Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi. Not so long ago, he would have been on a mission to kill the famed Jedi General. And now he was going to ask Kenobi if he would train him. "No, I'm okay."
"Galen…"
"Really Juno, I couldn't sleep if I wanted to," he tried to convince the pilot, but could see that he was having no effect whatsoever.
"Galen, just try and sleep. I'll wake you up before we get there."
"Fine, I'll try." He walked out of the room and went to go find PROXY. He needed ask the droid something.
He found PROXY in the back room, "PROXY, what can you tell me about Ferus Olin."
"Well Master," PROXY transformed into their newest companion and began, "He was the apprentice to Jedi Master Siri Tachi before the Clone Wars. He was known for his good sense and as strict abider of the rules. Master and padawan went on several successful missions. After the death of another padawan, Darra Thel-Tanis, Olin left the Order and eventually settled on Bellassa, soon starting a business with Roan Lands." PROXY changed back to his normal state and said, "There are no records of him after that."
"Thanks PROXY," replied Starkiller as he walked towards the bunks. Once he laid down, he realized exactly how tired he was and soon fell asleep.
