Chapter 5
With still a skeptical look on her face, Padme now finally sit in the very old freighter but according to him that was the only ship with hyper drive they could get right now. As they entered hyperspace the former Senator couldn't help but think how her children looked right now, who had taken care of them after her death and if they had told them anything about her mother when they were old enough to understand what happened with her real mother. Just the pure thought of meeting her grown up children, a couple of years after she had hold them in her arms just briefly made her quite nervous because she was scared of the reaction from Luke and Leia.
But she also was looking forward to meeting Mon Mothma again, the person that had secretly formed the "Coalition of the 2000" during the final days of the Clone Wars against the Separatists and she already knew deep down that the story would be hard to believe at first for the Senator from Chandrila. Jedi Master Ralkitta couldn't help but notice that the former Queen of Naboo apparently was pretty lost in her thoughts right now and he could imagine, that she was probably totally occupied by digesting this whole new world around her and he couldn't nearly imagine all the pain she must feel right now.
Jedi Training Center on Yavin IV
Since Luke had established the Training Center for the new generation of Jedi Knights on this planet, he had also been very busy with beginning to form a new Jedi Council with the very few Jedi that already had completed their hard training already. Of course there was still such a long way to go, till the new Jedi Order would be a well- respected peacekeeping Institution like back in the days of the old Republic and through the force he could sense very well that there was a great uncertainty about the future in the air.
The freshly formed Jedi Council was having a council meeting, discussing some problems with Pirate Attacks in Correlian Space: "The Pirates that I have encountered during my time in Corelian Space surely aren't the average type of criminals that you encounter in some parts of the galaxy. It seems to me that they were somehow able to get access to Imperial Stormtrooper Equipment what makes the Corelian Security Forces no match for them." The Hologram of Jedi Master Ki-Ta'an shortly reported the status on the Corelian Pirate Problem that had bothered the government on Corelia for a couple of weeks now and the Council didn't like this newest development one bit.
Luke had to digest this new information for a minute before he finally said: "This news is certainly disturbing, do the Corelians have any idea yet where the Pirates got their weapons from exactly?"
"The Corelians couldn't find the source of the Imperial Weapons yet but let it make me clear to you and the rest of the Council that I'm doing anything possible to find the weapon depot very soon." This Mission in Corelian Space was surely a big challenge for the newly formed Jedi Order but since the Corelian Security Forces were pretty much overwhelmed with a crisis of this volume, after a lot of soldiers had fallen during the riot against the Galactic Empire at the end of the Galactic Civil War Luke clearly saw it as the Jedi's duty to bring more security to the systems of the New Republic in any way possible.
"How are things going with your Padawan Gantoris?" Rasi Tuum then asked because the young Padwan had been a source of great concern since he had joined the new Jedi Order because he tended to be very driven by negative emotion and being easily frustrated when things weren't going his way. Of course Master Ki-Ta'an had known in advance that the council would ask him about the progress of the education of his Padawan and without much hesitation he said:
"He's doing very well so far, better than I've expected at first and it really seems to me that he finally starts to let go of all his negative emotions."
Corusant, Office of the Chief of State Mon Mothma
The first meeting of the day had been finally over, but Mon Mothma still had a very busy schedule ahead of her on this day for example discussing the order of the day for the next Senate Meeting with her substitute in the position of Chief of State Leia Organa who had been very helpful since the beginning of forming this new government.
The newly elected Queen from Naboo had met up with her, updating her on the very dire humanitarian situation on the little peaceful planet that had suffered a lot during the occupation of it from the Empire who had shown absolutely no mercy against the political opposition.
The natural resources were quite short right now and because of the fact, that the rebuilding process of the houses wasn't going as good as expected the Queen of Naboo of course asked if the New Republic could send some food and water supplies to help out during the people that were threating to starve at this moment. Mon Mothma assured the Queen that they would anything in their power to help the planet. Overall the people from had suffered a lot during the occupation even if only a handful of people had actually aligned themselves with representatives from other worlds against the almighty Empire because the most of them had been highly afraid of the consequences for the rest of their people.
But the few that actually had got the guts, to do anything against the occupation of the Planet had paid dearly for it: Queen Apilana had been killed by the 501st Division of Palpatine's Army after he had been tired of her constant opposition against the Empire. After that not so many people tried to organize any resistance against the Empire because the stakes were just too high and with everything to gain and also a lot to lose a great majority of the people of Naboo tried to accept the Empire as good as possible.
