When the bright lights streaking across the window of the cockpit slowed and stopped, what it revealed was something of incredible beauty. It was Alderaan, the water planet. It was a glowing orb of blue and white swirling together with tints of greens and browns where what little land the planet had was.

The Jedi starfighter entered the atmosphere and shot across the skies in a fiery streak. Below was sparkling blue oceans, above was pale blue skies. The land was beautiful, shining beaches of soft sand, and undulating grasslands.

The ship found a place within the city to land and touched down on the pad. When Joen exited the ship, he was greeted by workers of the landing strip, prepared to fuel and maintain the ship. The last man that was there was a Twi'lek by the name of Lohlin Ayan. He was of moderate height, probably some shorter than six feet, and was a blue color. From the back of his head sprouted two "tails" you could say, although they called them lekku, and he sported dark brown robes. Joen knew him well, for he had been to the planet many times before, and Lohlin was the personal assistant to the Senator of Alderaan, Senator Organa.

"Joen Tryker, what brings you here to Alderaan?" Lohlin spoke in a deep yet somewhat slurred voice, as if he were struggling with the language.

"Well Ayan, I can't help but say it's business." Joen was an average guy, six feet tall, short dark brown hair, and an unshaven jaw, from months on the front lines of the war. He was lean, but muscular, from a lifetime of Jedi training, and wore the plain tan and brown robes that all Jedi wore. "I got a message telling me to go to the Jedi Temple, for urgent business, and then I got another saying that I should stay away. I thought that I'd head here and see if Bail knew anything."

"Unfortunately sir, Master Organa hasn't yet arrived from Coruscant. I understand there was an urgent meeting of the Galactic Senate," Lohlin replied.

"Oh, well then, I don't suppose he'd mind it so much if I stayed here for a while and waited for him to get back," Joen smiled. He was always up for free room and board.

"Of course not Master Tryker. Right this way, I'll show you your quarters."

They both exited the landing pad and entered Senator Organa's personal estate.
