"Where do I go R2", Leia muttered. She had flown out of range of the imperial ships and had docked on a nearby asteroid. R2 beeped before setting coordinates on Leia' screen.

"Where is this," Leia asked.

R2 squeaked a short reply and Leia widened her eyes.

"My mother was working with the resistance?" R2 gave an affirmative beep.

Leia shook her head. This day was becoming more interesting as it went along. The Resistance was a small group of people who defied the Empire. They were mainly comprised of rogues looking for some revenge. But her mother… She flicked a few switches before the ship jumped into hyperspace. A large cruiser came into view.

"A Tantive IV? R2, that's an Alderaanian diplomatic ship."

Leia flew beneath the landing pad as the doors slid open. She landed the X-wing softly as she was greeted with many blasters being pointed at her. Bail Organa walked towards the ship and froze as he saw Leia climb out, her hands in the air.

"Weapons down," he said as he walked out to greet her.

"Leia, what are you doing here," he said, a concerned look on his face. R2 flew out and landed on the smooth floor, rolling towards the former senator. The adrenaline that had kept Leia composed suddenly faded out of her as she collapsed to the floor. Her head spun and her ears felt clogged as Bail caught her before she fell and blacked out.

Leia woke up in a medical bed, R2 watching her. Bail was sitting on a chair near her, scrolling through some files on a tablet. Leia read the writing backwards to see the words "Death Star", "Naboo" and "plans." He looked up to see Leia awake and switched off the device.

"Leia," Bail said, helping her sit up.

"Naboo," Leia whispered. The senator looked away from her for a moment.

"It's a mess there. It was leaked onto the Galactic network before it was quickly shut down. The only thing I know is that many palace workers were…" Bail broke off.

Leia brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them.

"I fled Naboo. My mother and brother were taken by Anakin, my…father." Leia said. Bail looked at her in surprise. "He is not himself. He almost killed me before Luke barely saved me."

He looked at her thoughtfully.

"We are only a small group, Leia. I know that Padme occasionally sent us classified information that she had access to as a senatorial advisor, and R2 was our bridge. I can try to help you get your mother and brother back, but we need more numbers."

"Then we'll find people. The Empire wins when all hope is lost. But people still believe," Leia said firmly.

Bail smiled at her passionate words. "Welcome to the Resistance, then."

Leia stood and began to walk out of the room before noticing that all her weapons were gone, save the utility pen in her hair.

"My weapons," she said. Bail led her to a table in the room and Leia strapped her blades back onto her legs before picking up the lightsaber.

"Where did you get that," Bail asked.

"The old temple. Luke and I stole it."

Bail chuckled and stopped as a shadow passed over his face. "You know there is a ransom on you. Anyone who finds you has to turn you in. Dirty business, even bounty hunters are searching for you."

Leia looked at Organa in fear.

"Don't worry. Since I am part of the royal family, no one knows much about me or whether I have children. From now on, until it is safe, you are Princess Organa."

Leia nodded and followed Bail to a large control room. Resistance fighters were monitoring shield levels and checking weapons systems. Some of them looked up and nodded to acknowledge her presence.

"You are not to take this off," Bail said, handing her a cloaking chip. Leia attached it to her neck and her face changed into a young adult. She was wearing a long white robe with a hood that settled on her head.

"Let's begin," Leia smiled.
