Padme sat in the seat behind the Wookie with Leia sitting next to him. She was afraid to look at her, which was stupid. Even though she knew her, Leia had no idea who she was. She assumed Bail didn't tell her about her like her name or what she looked like. Still this whole time she thought she was ready to be apart of her kids life, she just didn't know how. Was i just supposed to walk up to her and be like hi i'm your mom or just get to know her and be a friend of sort. She had no idea so she just sat there in silence afraid to even do anything.

"Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh?" The brown hair man come from behind her making her jump." You know, sometimes I even amaze myself." She saw he was talking to Leia clearly trying to impress her, which made Padme roll her eyes and she noticed Leia did the same thing.

"That doesn't sound too hard. They let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape." Leia says. Padme enjoyed that she was putting him in his place. He definitely needed to be knocked down a few pegs.

"Easy? You call that easy?" he said.

"They're tracking us." Leia which caused Padme's eyes to grow bigger. He was going to find them. She should have never gotten on their ship. She should have known he would stop at nothing to get her back.

"Not this ship, sister." he said.

Leia rolled her eyes. "At least the information in R2 is still intact."

Information? Was that why she was being held? She had so many questions, but was scared to ask any of them.

"What's so important? What's he carrying?" The man asked.

"The technical readouts of that battle station. I only hope that when the data's analyzed a weakness can be found. It's not over yet." Leia said.

A battle station, so that was what she was on, not a ship. She thought that made a lot of sense, that place seemed to large for a ship.

"It is for me , sister. Look, I'm ain't in this for your revolution and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in this for the money." The man said.

"You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive." Leia said standing up leaving the three of them alone.

"So what is your story anyways? How did you end up in the empires hands?" It took her a second to realize he was talking to her.

She was afraid they would ask questions. What was she suppose to say? That she was married to Vader and has been hiding from him for nineteen years. Oh that girl, Leia, yea that was her daughter.

"Um, they took me from back on Tatooine and brought me there." She said cursing under her breathe for her awful lie.

"You must have done something bigger than that. They don't just bring anyone to Vader. They usually just kill you." He must have sensed she was done talking. "So what is your name anyways?"

Should she give him real name Padme Naberrie? She definitely couldn't use Amidala. Or should see use her fake name that she has been using. The name of her former handmaiden and dearest friend. She still wondered what happened to her and if she was still alive. Afraid that Bail might have told Leia about her, she decided to use her fake name. "It Sabe."

"Well this is Chewie." He said indicating to the Wookie. "And I'm Han. I'm sure you know the Princess over there is Leia Organa and the other one is Luke."

"Not um Skywalker is it?" She said hoping his answer will be no. She thought she heard them yelling Luke, but just didn't put to and too together at the time.

"Pretty sure that's the kids name." He said pushing some buttons.

She fell back in her chair. Somehow she has managed to find both of her kids without even trying. What was she going to do? Vader is probably tracking them, clearly he knows about them both by now. Is there even a point in keeping this from them? But is this the right time? Clearly not.

It then hit her. If that was Luke, than. Oh no. Obi-Wan. He was the man she saw Vader kill. She grew sad for her fallen friend, who she hasn't seen in many years.


"Tarkin, have they arrived at the rebel base yet?" Vader asks growing impatient. It seems they have been tracking them down forever. He just wanted to find the base and kill everyone in there.

"It seems they are going to Yavin, possibly to one of the moons. Yarvin 4 to be precise." Tarkin says.

"Good. Is the station powered up." He asks.

"Yes my Lord. Everything should be ready in 30minutes. " Tarkin says.

"This is be a day long remembered." he says knowing that both his issues will soon be solved. He gave them both chances. He gave Padme many changes, but between her and the Princess they both made their own choices. They have no one to blame, but themselves after this. He thought about maybe keeping Padme alive, so she could see all the lives she helped kill. He then thought against it, knowing if her saw her face again, and her eyes, he might take everything back and give her another chance. He hated that she still had a way over him. Soon it would be over, his last tie to Anakin Skywalker would be gone again.


After arriving on Yarvin 4, they all walked off the ship. Padme wasn't sure what to do. She just wanted away from that Station. She didn't plan on coming here to some Rebel Base. She looked around as everyone greeted them back, well Leia back mostly. She wasn't sure what to do, if she should stay in the back ground or just leave. No she was here this was some sorta sign. She just had to find the right moment, to be alone with them and explain everything. She decided to follow them and saw Leia greet someone.

They hugged and the man said to her. "You're safe. When we heard about Alderaan, we feared the worse."

Alderaan what happened to Alderaan?

"We have no time for sorrow, Commander. You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the 's our only hope" She heard Leia says as they lead them away.

Padme looked over and saw Luke next to her looking as out of place as she was guessing she looked. "They mentioned something about Alderaan. What happened?" She asked him.

"I guess that space station has the power to destroy whole planets. We were on our way there and by the time we got out of lightspeed, there was nothing left." Luke told her.

"Bu-but that's impossible. I've never heard of anything having that kind of power." she said in shock.

"Yea. I don't fully understand it either. That's why we need to stop this thing." he said.

Oh Bail. She never got a chance to say goodbye or even to thank him for raising Leia when she couldn't. Clearly she could already tell just by knowing Leia for a short time how great and strong of person she has become. That was clearly because of him, she thought sadly.

She watched as they took R2 and plugged a cord into him. She figure they were accessing the information. She just hoped they could find the information they need. After hearing what this space station was capable of, she she knew it had to be destroyed.


Vader stood round waiting for the commanders to get back to them. He was growing impatient. Why was it taking so long to get there? He wanted to be there now!

He heard a beep from the intercom. Tarkin hit it. "Yes." Tarkin answered.

Vader hoped he would tell them they were near, if not he wasn't sure what he would do.

"We're approaching the planet Yarvin. The rebel base is on a moon on the far side. We're preparing to orbit the planet." the person over the intercom said.

He laughed. They really thought they could get away. Now they will see what kind of power I am capable of.


After they finally got the information downloaded, everyone quickly left trying to figure out a plan of attack leaving Padme there alone. She paced round, trying not to get in anyone's way. She cursed herself for waiting so long to say something to Luke and Leia, she had all that time on there way here, but she was scared. Now she wasn't sure with all this going on if she was ever going to get a chance.

She looked ahead and saw a bunch of people walking into a room. She followed and saw that most the people sitting around where pilots. She noticed Luke was sitting with all the other pilots. She also noticed Leia was standing upfront. She decided to just stand in the background.

"The battle station is heavily shielded." She noticed a man upfront saying as a hologram of the space station appeared next to him. " and carries a firepower greater than half the starfleet. Its defenses are designed around a direct large-scale assault.A small, one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense."

Padme looked over and say that Han was also standing in the background, which surprised her. She thought he was leaving as soon as they got here.

"Pardon me for asking, sir." She noticed one of the pilots says. " but what good are snub fighters against that?"

"The empire doesn't consider a small, one-man fighter to be any threat or they'd have tighter defense. A analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. The approach will not be easy. You're required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point." He said pointed at the location on the hologram. "The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port right below the shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction, which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes."

She shook her head thinking how this sounds almost impossible. How are they gonna be able to do that.

"Then man you ships and may the Force be with you." the man finished up and all the pilots got up. She watched as Luke ran up to him and just hoped he wasn't going to ask what she was afraid he was going to ask. She sighed thinking, how he was just like Anakin, also wanting to be on the front lines.
