The ship hovers over a hill, overlooking the sepertate base, the two jump down and land on the ground. "What are we looking for, General?" Galen asks him as the ship left. "You'll know when you see it." Kota answers him. Galen growls at little at him. Riema walks up to him and pads his shoulder. "There, there." she comforts him.
Galen sighs and looks at her. "I'm lucky to have a sister like you." he states, Riema smiles at him. "You be dead a long, long time ago without me around." she states, pad his chest and walks off. "Yep so lucky." he states and follows after her. "Always and forever." Riema mumbles to herself and the two wonder through the ruin world of Kashyyyk.
~8~8~
They wonder through the burnt woods, killing troopers, passing destroy huts that were once homes and freeing Wookie slaves. But then the came to an old hut that look to still be in one peace, Riema walks up to it and gently guides her fingers along the flag with a symbol on it, "Riema?" Galen asks her.
"I… know this place..." she states, looking inside the hut and walks inside. Galen looks at the flag, "Kota… I think… Riema found something..." Galen informs him. "What?" Kota asks. Galen looks at Riema as she looks around then walks back to Galen and pulls out her comm-link. "Just some old hut but… the feeling around it, it… feels familiar. I feel..." she states, placing her hand over her heart. "I feel great darkness here. And sadness." she answers. Galen steps towards her placing his arm around her shoulders. "Turn away. Get on with the mission, there are some things that you both aren't ready to face." he orders them as Riema looks in the hut.
"What's inside?" Riema asks him, "How should I know? My link to the force has been cut. But if you go inside, you'll whatever's in there alone." Kota tells her, Riema looks at Galen. He looks down at her, then moves his arm from her shoulder and grips her hand, nodding at her. They both turn off their comm-links place them away and step inside. Riema looks around, seeing images flash in her head; in the same hut her and Galen were in, a little girl with red hair and golden eyes was running around, holding her doll close to her.
A old man picks her up, she giggles at him as he kisses her neck, she then wraps her small arms around his neck, hugging him, he chuckles at her holding her in his arm, then a boy tugs at the man tunic, the man looks down and saw the boy also wanted up, the man place the girl on hip and picks the boy up and place him on his other hip, the three were happy, filled with so much joy.
Then she was pulled from the vision, feeling Galen pulled her behind him and with his lightsaber out ready for the person who slowly approach them; it was an old man, wearing his old over his head and his hands folded behind his back. But Riema felt familiar with him, Galen place his lightsaber away and Riema moves out form behind Galen and stood in front of her brother.
The ghost looks at them, "I never wanted this for you, I never wanted any of this for either of you… I'm sorry, my children." he tells them, Riema was taken back, then felt his cold hand touch her cheek as a tear streams down her face than through his hand, then he pulled his hand away from her and returns to the shadows, fading away. "Wait! Father! No!' Galen steps next to Riema and reaches out for their father, but he was gone.
All that was left was the echos off his boots hitting the ground. Riema covers her mouth, then her whole face, feeling it become hot and tears stream down her face, Galen looks at her, then pulls her tight in her arms. Letting her cry in his shoulder, hearing her cry, only made him grip tighter. Riema cried to her heart's content.

They left the hut and ran into an open area, both had their lightsabers out, cutting down storm troopers. "Antonio to Ripper. Are you alright? We lost contact with you and Starkiller for a moment..." Antonio tells Riema, "I'm… fine." she crakes a little, then pulls herself together. "I'm fine Antonio. Just a little turn around at the moment." she tells him, trying to put on a brave face.
"Well, Juno and I are picking up a major imperial facility right in front of you. Whatever you're looking for is likely to be inside..." he tells her as they saw troopers touching the burnt woods. "Understood." she answers him. Then dashes forward and cuts them down, Galen dashes next to her. But they both look over and saw a walker with an upgrade.
"You've got to be kidding me..." she mumbles to herself, "I got the troopers." she tells him, Galen nods, "Alright, I'll get the walker and the front door." he tells her and they both dash into action. She cuts down the troopers as Galen shot the walker with lighting then uses the force and opens the door. He walks in and saw most of the troopers dead. "About time up got in." Riema appears out of nowhere. He looks at her, seeing at there was not one drop of blood on her, "Wow, I have expected all of them to be in… you know shreds." he tells her, she shrugs, then then heard on groan a bit, Riema flicks out her making a rock fly out and hit in him in the face, he moan and was out again.
Galen nods at her, "Impressive." he states, "Thank you. Come on, lets moves." she tells him and they ran inside, dispatch whoever got in their way. "Masters, imperial records indicate you are in the personal quarters of captain Ozzik Sturn. Disciplinary reports show that he was re-assigned to Kashyyyk due to his extracurricular activates." Proxy tells them.
"Great, I hate the man already." Riema mumbles and they both open the doors and walks in, there at the window stood a woman with an R2 droid. She heard the two walk in. "I should of the emperor would send assassins. It's a coward's tactic." she tells them, Galen looks at Riema and his younger sister took the lead. "We do not serve the emperor, we're here with Master Kota-" she starts, then the woman turns around. "Master Kota is dead. Killed above Nar Shaddaa. My father-" the woman starts. "You father?" Galen asks as Riema now gets it.
"He's Kota's contact… how long as your father been feeding Kota information about imperial targets?" she asks the princess. "How did you know?" the princess asks Riema. "Because Master Kota survived. And he was sent to find you. Lets go." Galen tells her. "I can not leave while this planet is still enslaved. If you two truly are Jedi, then you will destroy." she points that the platform far out in front of them. "Once that sky hook is complete, the empire will shuttling wookie slaves into space. Entire villages will be taken off-world in a matter of days." she informs them.
"The Empire will just rebuild it." Galen tells her, "Eventually, maybe. But you will give the wookies a chance to disappear." she tell them. "What is needed to be done?" Riema asks her. The princess looks at her then points at the lift behind them. "You can take that lift down to the forest. It will be crawling with imperials." she tells them, Galen nods and Riema tuns back to the princess. "What about you?" she asks her. "Is there still an imperial transport on the landing platform?" she asks her. "Yes, but I think the pilot is dead." Riema informs her, the princess steps forward where their shoulders were touching. "And what makes you think I need a pilot?" she questions and walks off.
Riema smiles at herself and they both watch her walk off, "She pretty cocky for a princess." Galen states, "She reminds me of you, you were also cocky too." Riema states, then walks to the lift. Galen looks at her. "Were Cocky?" Galen questions walking up to her. "Oh, my mistake, you still are." she corrects. Galen smirks and shoves her shoulder a bit, she laughs. The lift opens, the two step inside and the doors close.

Galen and Riema ran through the hills, lightsabers drawn. "Juno, I found what we were looking for." Galen said over the comm-link. "Excellent, I can be at the drop off point in-" she starts. "Not just yet, we need to disable the Sky hook before we leave." Riema said over the comm-link. "Be careful, Antonio is picking imperial chatter. You've got snipers in the nest above you above you." Juno warns them. "Well do, thanks Juno." Riema states and Galen took out the snipers.
"Show off." Riema shouts out, beheading the shadow guard. They then ran inside and a force shield went up, Galen jerks out the big cable, "Attention, intruders! This is Captain Ozzik Sturn, and you, my friends are in violation of quite a few imperial codes…" he tells them as they ran through the halls. "But I'm guessing you don't care. I should like to arrange a personal meeting… if you're game…" he tells him over the com. "Wow, I hate him even more." Riema mumbles. "Captain Sturn? Be careful, Strun's a madman. I'm surprise they gave him another command post after that nasty business on Malastare." Kota informs them.
"Give us the history lessons later, General." Galen tells him as they dash through the halls, they take down the last of the force shields along with the heavy troopers and they arrive outside, at the sky hook and saw how big it really was. "Umm… guys we're going to need a little help here." Riema states. "Just a moment… Proxy is accessing the schematics now..." Antonio tells her.
Then the two fought off storm troopers, "Masters, if you can disrupt that tractor beam, the shockwave might be enough to destroy the sky hook. I would start destroying the traction hooks. But I should warn you, it will be… violent." Proxy warns the two. "You take the left and I take the right?" Galen asks her, "Bet I finish before you?" she challenges him. "You're one." he accepts and they dashes to the sides, killing the troopers and destroying the Traction hooks.
"Well, now, this is a surprise… two Jedi. I always hoped I'd to be able to hunt one of your kind." Strun states, "Then what are you waiting for, Captain, I'm right here." Riema growl at him, destroying the third traction hook. "Nice work." Kota states, "That's it! Just a few more master." Proxy tells her. Galen get the next one, then the ground started to shake. "Are you ready Jedi? I'm tired of hunting these filthy wookies." Strun states, the two force users look at each other and ready themselves.

Galen and Riema dash from sides to sides, crossing each other. Then Galen jumps up, Riema follows in pursuit and the two threw lighting bolts at him. "Wait, lets be civili- AGH!" Strun shouts for mercy but Galen destroys the guns as Riema lands on her feet and dashes at the legs, slicing at the weak points. Galen then jumps away as Riema was away from the walker and he throw a force wave at him, knocking the walker down on the ground.
Galen lands next to Riema, they look at each other and finishes the job. The last three of the traction hook were destroy. And the two look up seeing the beam light burst. She looks around seeing the wookies cheer with rejoice, the two then turn and left.
~8~8~
Back on the Rogue, Galen walks into the communications room where Kota was waiting for him. Riema follows after him, "Who was she?" Galen demands of him. Kota looks over his shoulder at him. "Princess Leia Organa. Her father is Bail Organa. My contact in the senate." Kota informs them. "I want to talk to him." Galen states impatiently, "You can't." Kota tells them. "We just rescued his daughter on a planet that was overrun Stormtroopers!" Galen snaps.
"You can't talk to him, because I can't find him. He's gone missing, boy!" Kota snaps at Galen, turning and face Galen, Riema rolls her eyes, then stood between them, press her hands to their chest and pushes them apart. "What? When?" Galen asks in a confused tone. "Bail tried to recruit me to rescue Princess Leia. I refused, and he went in search of another Jedi… Master Shaak Ti." Kota informs them.
Riema looks over at Galen, seeing his reaction similar to hers. "I told him it was too dangerous, but the fool went anyway, alone… and vanished as soon as he landed on..." he starts. "Felucia." Riema and Galen said at the same time, then they look at Kota, who was surprise that the two even know that. Galen took a step back, hand hovering over his saber, but Riema place her hand on his shoulder, he looks at her and shook her head. He sighs and they both look at Kota. "The force is strong in you, young ones, to be able to sense my thoughts." he states.
Galen looks at Riema who shrugs and waves her hand, saying to just go with it, he then looks back at Kota. "You're just easy to read, old man." Galen tells him. "Then you two should already know our next mission: we're going to Feluica to rescue senator Organa."
