The flight to Kashyyyk had be short with no interruptions, something for which Ahsoka was glad for.

There would be enough fighting in the days ahead. For now, she wanted as much peace as possible. Something her co-pilot clearly agreed with.

"Nice to have things go right for a change. I was beginning to think we had a bad luck charm or something." Kaeden spoke, looking out the window of the cargo freighter they were flying.

Technically, it was the Larte's cargo freighter, from before they had meet up with Ahsoka again when dealing with the mysterious Fulcrum business several months ago. Apparently, both Kaeden and Miara went back to get it from the moon they had left it on. It wasn't armed, but it made for another ship the rebellion could use.

And with every other ship currently in use by Ahsoka's allies as they scoured the galaxy for recruits, Ahsoka had been left with the freighter.

And Kaeden, who had insisted she come along of one of Ahsoka's missions for once, wanting to see her at work. Not that Ahsoka minded, it would be nice to have some company in this search.

For all she knew it could lead to a dead end.

Or she could end up finding another Jedi.

Only time would tell.

"We do have a bad luck charm… his name is Chopper. Luckily, he isn't with us." Ahsoka responded to Kaeden's earlier quip, making the human woman laugh lightly.

Ahsoka didn't know why, but Kaeden's laughter brought a warm feeling to her gut, one of happiness. Whether or not it was hers was debatable, but still, it was nice to see Kaeden happy.

Turning her attention to the planet before her, Ahsoka keyed the coordinates she and Cassian had pulled from the data they had acquired. The lush green forests of Kashyyyk were an excellent place to hide, both from sight and in the force.

But if Ahsoka could get close enough to detect even the slightest shift in the force, she would have results.

Ahsoka was by no means an expert tracker, having never had the time or situation really present itself to her. Sure, she had helped find a Lurman village in the past, but back then she had Aayla Secura to help her.

Ahsoka found she missed the blue Twi-lek Jedi. At times like this, she would have been exceptionally helpful, having learnt from the master of tracking himself, Quinlan Vos.

Ahsoka had never had the pleasure to meet Vos in her youth, something that upset her. From the stories that Obi-Wan use to tell of their adventures, he sounded like quite the character, one she would have got along with famously.

Shaking out of any nostalgia, Ahsoka refocused on the situation at hand. The Larte's freighter was now entering orbit, breaking through the atmosphere and descending towards an open area on Kashyyyk.

Ahsoka hoped that the natives of the planet, the Wookies, did not view them as a threat, if any were left that was. She had heard the rumours of Wookies being taken as slave labour by the empire, not to dissimilar to what had befallen the Geonosian population. And Ahsoka had seen how that had turned out. A race, extinct.

Ahsoka wouldn't allow that to happen again.

Landing the freighter in the open area, Ahsoka powered down the engines and other systems, before rising from her chair and heading towards the airlock. Kaeden followed behind her, equipping a blaster just in case.

The airlock door opened, revealing the lush green of Kashyyyk before them. The area they had landed in was open enough to land, yet was still surrounded by trees and dense jungle.

They could get seriously lost in there.

"So… who exactly are we looking for again?" Kaeden asked, following Ahsoka outside, taking a deep breath of the fresh air.

"A Jedi I think. Though I'm unsure which one. This could all be a wild bantha chase." Ahsoka replied, analysing the foliage around her. The sounds of life were evident. Birds chirped, insects buzzed.

But no Wookies emerged. That concerned Ahsoka.

"Well if you are going to hide from the empire, this is the place to do it." Kaeden spoke, flashing a quick smile at Ahsoka. Ahsoka smiled back, thinking back to her own time on the run after Order 66, and how she had ended up on Raada, a farming moon.

"Yeah I get it. Hiding on a moon and changing my name to 'The Force' was not my best moment." Ahsoka joked, nudging the human woman slightly.

"If you hadn't, we would never have met." Kaeden replied softly, a smile on her face.

It was true. By pure circumstance, Ahsoka had stumbled across Raada, and had stumbled across Kaeden.

She would call it fate, but Ahsoka was not a believer in prophecies and such.

Not since Anakin had turned and betrayed them all anyway.

The Togruta shook her head, ridding herself of any negative thoughts. She would not give in to her darker emotions, not around Kaeden at least.

She deserved better.

"So, how are we going to find this Jedi you think is here?" Kaeden asked, her eyes now watching the surroundings.

Ahsoka had thought long and hard on the trip to Kashyyyk about this. She could just wander off into the jungle in hopes of stumbling across some sort of clue. But then she would get lost. If she didn't have Kaeden with her, she might have considered it.

But the last thing she wanted to do was get Kaeden lost, so she came up with a new plan.

"Meditation." Ahsoka answered simply, lowering herself to the floor and sitting with her legs crossed. She would reach into the force, to see if she could pick up any force sensitive presence. If she could, that would mean that they wanted her to find them, or at very least know they were around. If not…

That meant that she was not to disturb them. And she would respect that.

Kaeden sat opposite her, mimicking her position.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Ahsoka was about to reply no, that she couldn't. Kaeden wasn't force sensitive, she couldn't help hunt this Jedi the way Ahsoka was about to.

But something stopped Ahsoka. Something within her told her to try something. Something she had only ever heard about.

Kaeden may not have been force sensitive, but Ahsoka could help her see things her way. It might not work, but it was worth a try.

"Actually, there is. Give me your hands."

Kaeden's eyes widened in surprise at Ahsoka's statement, but she relented nonetheless, reaching her arms out.

Ahsoka copied the gesture, placing her hands palms up in front of her, gesturing for Kaeden to lace her hands on top.

The dark-skinned woman stared apprehensively at Ahsoka's outstretched hands, confused as to what was happening.

"Trust me." Ahsoka spoke barely with a whisper.

Kaeden would always trust Ahsoka, so she placed her hands on Ahsoka's.

"Now what?" Kaeden asked.

Ahsoka smiled at the human, before closing her eyes and reaching into the force.

"Ahsoka?" She heard Kaeden inquire, voice raising slightly in concern.

"Just relax Kaeden." Ahsoka replied, reaching for Kaeden's presence in the force, grasping in lightly, and pulling it with her.

While Kaeden could not access the force itself, every being could touch it, just not manipulate it.

With Ahsoka's help, Kaeden too could meditate.

Delving into the force, Ahsoka pulled Kaeden through.

Kaeden Larte had experienced many things in her life that surprised her.

Her parents dying when she was younger, leaving her to care for her sister.

Being hunted by the empire, and captured and tortured by an Inquisitor.

Joining the rebellion, seeking to do good.

But never had she ever expected to feel the force. She was no Jedi, or whatever Ahsoka was these days.

But somehow, she could. Ahsoka had joined their minds, and Kaeden could feel everything that Ahsoka could. The subtle movements of life around them, as well as in other places in the galaxy. The light that emanated off of Ahsoka and her friends.

And the darkness of those who hunted Ahsoka. That was evident too.

But still, despite the darkness, Kaeden felt more relaxed than she ever had before. If this was how Ahsoka saw everything every day…

Well, she both envied and feared for Ahsoka. How could she cope with this all the time? It was overwhelming.

In her head, she heard a voice.

"Relax Kaeden. Listen. Listen to the force. What do you see?"

Ahsoka's voice was a source of comfort to Kaeden during this experience. It meant that she was not alone.

That she would never again be alone.

"I see… I see hope. I see happiness." Kaeden replied.

A warm rush of something brushed up against Kaeden in the force. Kaeden felt herself go wheezy slightly, swaying slightly to the side. Ahsoka, still deep in the force, reached out her hands to grip Kaeden's arms, holding her steady.

"Listen again. We are being watched." Ahsoka spoke, pulling Kaeden in deeper.

Kaeden did. Despite her severe lack of training and understanding, she listened.

Nothing appeared at first, so she pushed harder, trying to find what Ahsoka was hearing.

'There! At the edge!' Kaeden realized suddenly. Something was trying to push into the bond that she and Ahsoka were sharing. The attempted intruder was giving off a mixed signal. One of light and darkness.

"It can't be!" Kaeden heard Ahsoka whisper. "He's dead, isn't he?"

"Who? Who is it Ahsoka? The Jedi we are after?" Kaeden replied, concern shooting through the shared bond.

As if a water supply had been cut off, the bond snapped, and Kaeden was brought out of meditation. Regaining her senses, she witnessed Ahsoka dash off into the jungle, as if following something.

Kaeden had no time to lament the loss of the intimate contact she and Ahsoka had been sharing, instead she jumped to her feet and made to pursue Ahsoka.

Ahsoka had shown her a brief glimpse of the life she lived every day, and Kaeden was honoured to have experienced it.

'Perhaps one day we will do it again?' Kaeden couldn't help thinking, a rogue smile coming to her face as she entered the foliage before her, chasing after her Togruta comrade.

Ahsoka sprinted, pushing past various branches and leaves, darting between trees and vaulting over fallen logs. The signature she had detected in the force, one unmistakably that of a Jedi, was strong, yet reserved, and was tainted by the darkside.

She couldn't say that she recognized the signal from mere sense, but the images that sprung to her mind… no, that were given to her by this person, helped her identify.

In them, she saw a talk man, with wavy black hair, and a yellow stripe across his nose, one that looked a lot like a tattoo. Beside him in the vision, was a tall female figure, one that resembled Asajj Ventress. The Ventress looking figure then faded away, leaving the man by himself, only looking slightly older now.

Ahsoka didn't know what Ventress had to do with this mysterious Jedi, but that didn't matter. From the image she had seen, as well as descriptions given to her in the past by Obi-Wan, Ahsoka was sure on who she was hopefully about to encounter.

Pushing through another set of branches, Ahsoka came to a stop, face to face with what looked to be a homemade shelter, one constructed out of wood and leaves. Clearly, whoever lived here had built in as far away from any life, as to avoid being detected.

The shelter was in good shape. No signs of decay or damage were present, suggesting that it was well looked after, and well lived in. Outside of the shelter, a small wooden device sat, one clearly used for cooking captured pray.

Behind her, Ahsoka sensed movement, as Kaeden came bursting out of the foliage behind her, panting widely from the sprint. Clearly she was out of breath.

Ahsoka reached out her hand to help Kaeden balance, giving the human woman time to re-adjust and get her energy back. It would not surprise Ahsoka if they had to run away very quickly all of a sudden.

"Well, we found someone." Kaeden spoke in between breaths.

Ahsoka chose to remain silent, instead beginning to walk towards what she identified as the front door, a wooden archway covered in a drape of leaves.

Pushing through the leaves, Ahsoka found herself in a spacious room, one decorated by wooden pedestals, as well as a rug made from the fur of some kind of creature.

And there, standing in the centre of the rug, facing her, his face uncovered and his eyes steely, was the person she had been hunting.

Before her stood a Jedi Master. Another survivor of Order 66.

Ahsoka almost leapt for joy, but restrained herself. Behind her, Kaeden moved into the shelter, taking her place by Ahsoka's side, staring at the man in both awe and suspicion.

The three figures stood in silence for a brief moment, analysing each other.

Then, the Jedi spoke.

"Padawan Tano." The greeting was simple, if not inaccurate. Despite that, Ahsoka chose to greet this man with the same courtesy he had her.

"Master Vos." Ahsoka replied, bowing to the Jedi.

The tall man bowed back, before resuming his normal posture.

"I have not been a Jedi master since the order fell, and perhaps even before that."

Quinlan Vos was about as rogue as a Jedi could get before turning to the darkside. He was pragmatic, and incredibly powerful, able and willing to do just about anything to achieve his goals.

It was no wonder that his personality had often clashed with Obi-Wan's.

"And I have not been a Jedi since I walked away from the order." Ahsoka replied to Vos' statement.

Vos nodded in understanding, clearly having studied her trial.

"So you have not Ahsoka Tano. It is a shame we never met during the Clone War. Kenobi spoke highly of you."

Ahsoka allowed a small smile to come to her face. As much as she wanted to tell Vos that Obi-Wan was alive she couldn't, for the sake of protected Padme's son.

"He spoke highly of you as well Vos. I can't help but wonder if he was fearful of what we might have got up to if we had met." Ahsoka allowed a small trace of humour to escape her tone. If what Kenobi said was true about Vos, then he and Ahsoka together would have made Anakin's plans look sane by comparison.

Vos laughed aloud, something that very few Jedi ever did. Despite everything that had happened to them, Ahsoka was pleased to see that someone had retained a sense of humour.

"Too true Ahsoka, too true. Kenobi always did try to get me to slow down. If only he…"

Vos' demeanour changed suddenly when mentioning Obi-Wan. In his eyes, Ahsoka could see that he missed his friend, and that made it even harder for her not to tell him the truth.

It was then that Ahsoka remembered the other person in the room. Turning to face Kaeden she gestured with her hand towards Vos.

"Kaeden Larte, this is Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. Master Vos, this is my friend Kaeden Larte."

Kaeden sheepishly raised her hand, waving at the Jedi. Kaeden didn't know how to act around a Jedi. Her first time discovering Ahsoka's true identity had been a disaster for her, and with Kanan…

Well Kanan acted like the complete opposite of a Jedi most of the time. He was very easy to get along with.

To Kaeden's surprise, Vos actually bowed in greeting, before again resuming his full height, a cheeky smile coming to his face and eyes.

"You been keeping Ahsoka occupied? Good. From what I heard she was something of a rapscallion in her youth. Nice to see her so grounded."

Kaeden smirked back lightly, taking the opportunity presented to her to tease Ahsoka. It was something that very rarely occurred, so of course Kaeden would seize the opportunity.

"Grounded? She head-butted one of the leading members of the Imperial Admiralty! I think it's safe to say she is still somewhat crazy."

Vos laughed again, especially when he saw the lock of mock betrayal on Ahsoka's face.

"Ha! That sounds like her! Oh how I wish I could have trained you myself, rather than that traitor Skywalker!" Vos spoke, his demeanour again changing when he reached the end of his speech.

How did Vos know about Anakin becoming Vader?

Ahsoka chose to inquire. "You know what happened to Anakin?"

Vos nodded his head. "I may have been far away from Coruscant when Order 66 went down, but I sensed the shift in the force. The terror of the younglings in the temple. And an image of Anakin and what he had done."

Vos had always been an expert in tracking, and was gifted with a strong understanding of visions. If he had said he had seen it, Ahsoka wouldn't argue.

Ahsoka swallowed back the remorse and anger she felt at the mention of Vader, before opening her mouth to report what had happened on Malachor.

"Vader is dead. I killed him."

Ahsoka had expected yet another person to offer her support, or to say, "Oh I'm so sorry Ahsoka, this must be hard on you. If you need to talk?"

In truth, it had been hard at first. She had killed her own master, despite what he had become.

But as time progressed, she felt less and less guilty about it.

He had become a monster. And she had done to right thing.

Ahsoka had no more tears to shed over Anakin Skywalker.

If anything, she felt only disdain for him.

Clearly Vos felt the same.

"Good!"

That was Vos' only response to the revelation, and Ahsoka was glad. She couldn't take another pity party.

"So, have you found anyone else?" Vos asked, interest and worry on his face. Despite all the rumours about Vos, it was clear to Ahsoka that he cared deeply for his Jedi brethren.

"Were you aware that Depa Billaba had a padawan during the last months of the clone war?" Ahsoka enquired.

Vos nodded, his brow rising in concern.

"Caleb Dume was it not?" Vos spoke.

"Yeah, though these days he calls himself Kanan Jarrus. He's also training his own apprentice, a young orphan from Lothal called Ezra." Ahsoka detailed her friends to Vos. She could trust him, despite his reputation.

Vos smiled in joy at the knowledge that there were others still out there.

"Thank you for telling me Ahsoka, it's nice to know I am not alone in the universe dominated by the dark."

Ahsoka decided it was probably not the best idea to tell Vos about Maul and his unexpected alliance with Ahsoka. That might scare him away.

Or make him go after Maul.

"So…" Vos spoke again, taking a seat on a nearby wooden stall that looked like it had been crafted by Vos himself from a tree stump. "Why are you here?"

This was it. It was time to convince the Jedi Master to join them on this suicidal mission Ahsoka had planned. If he accepted, great! Ahsoka would welcome him with open arms.

If he didn't… then Ahsoka would honour his choice and leave.

Talking a seat on the floor and crossing her legs, Ahsoka began.

"Truth be told Master Vos, I seek your help. We have the chance to strike a crippling blow to the empire and eliminate Palpatine once and for all, as well as destroy a planet destroying superweapon he is building. I'm going on a dangerous mission, and I need help. When I heard that a Jedi had been spotted on Kashyyyk, I thought I'd check it out to at least make sure whoever it was was ok."

Vos seemed to contemplate what Ahsoka was saying, listening to every detail. In his eyes, Ahsoka could see cogs turning, debating what to do.

"How dangerous?" Vos asked, his eyes steely and focused on Ahsoka's.

"Rebel command called it a suicide mission, and forbade me from going on it. I'm going regardless, and I intend to prove them wrong."

Vos grimaced slightly, before standing from his seat and moving to sit before Ahsoka. Through the force, Ahsoka could feel Vos reach out to her, providing a stable energy for her to latch onto.

"You are much like your master young one, but I fear this mission will be a disaster for you, and not because it is suicidal." Vos spoke kindly and with compassion.

"What do you mean Master?" Ahsoka couldn't help the title drop. The man before her was once a respected member of a powerful order, one in which she had grown up in. Despite her past, and despite the distance she had put up between herself and the Jedi, Ahsoka felt compelled to listen.

"There is darkness in you Ahsoka Tano, one that I fear threatens to consume you. If you go to face Sidious, you could very well become everything that you seek to destroy."

Ahsoka knew that Sidious was after her, and she knew she had had brushes with the darkside in the past.

But she wouldn't ever fall to the darkside…would she?

"Master, we have a chance to end this! I can't not go!" Ahsoka pleaded.

"And I'm not going to stop you Ahsoka, I just want you to be careful."

Ahsoka understood. Vos would not be coming with them. He felt that he had served his purpose that he had nothing left to give.

Internally, Ahsoka disagreed. Externally…

Ahsoka understood. And she wouldn't force him.

Behind her, she heard Kaeden leave the shelter, giving the two some privacy.

"Do what you have to do Ahsoka Tano, but never lose sight of who you are, and what makes you special. And more importantly, keep those who care for you close to you. They are the biggest advantage you have over the empire." Vos spoke wisely, gesturing the Kaeden's departing form during his speech.

"I understand, and thank you Master Vos." Ahsoka spoke, rising to her feet, Vos following suit.

The two stood facing each other for a moment, before bowing towards each other in a sign of respect.

Reaching down into a pouch in her armour, Ahsoka extracted a piece of flimsi and handed it to Vos.

"I won't tell anyone you are here Master, but those are the coordinates of our rendezvous for this mission if you change your mind. We meet in a fortnight."

Vos nodded, placing the flimsi down nearby.

"I thank you for your understanding Ahsoka. May the force be with you."

Ahsoka repeated the phrase, before turning to leave.

Quinlan Vos was not what she expected. From all the stories told to her he was somewhat of a renegade, always willing to do the most ridiculous things.

So the fact that he had refused to come along had surprised her at first, but as she read deeper into his force signature, she understood why.

Vos had lost something important to him, and he had never recovered from it. It had left him feeling worthless and unneeded, and so he preferred his solitary life.

Ahsoka understood. She had felt similar after Order 66.

Until she got to Raada that was, and met Kaeden.

Ahsoka smiled lightly at the thought of the dark-skinned woman, before her train of thought fell back to Vos.

Vos thought he was alone in the world. He felt he had no friends left, that they had all died.

'But that wasn't true! There was someone! And Vos of all people should be allowed to know.' Ahsoka thought.

Stopping before she left the shelter, Ahsoka turned to face Vos, who had been watching her leave, a sad smile on his face.

"Obi-Wan is still alive as well. I can't tell you where, but he is alive Quinlan."

A bright smile filled Vos' face, joy in his eyes.

Ahsoka turned towards the exit, feeling happiness and content flooding through the force from Vos.

He would be ok. He was a Jedi after all.

Stepping back outside the shelter, Ahsoka was surprised to discover it was raining, and that Kaeden was standing out in it soaked.

The human saw her approach, a sheepish smile on her face. Growing up on a farming moon meant that Kaeden had rarely experienced such things, and clearly she was enjoying her chance.

"He not coming?" Kaeden asked, face turning somewhat downtrodden.

Ahsoka nodded. Today may have been a failure, but there was always the next day.

"Vos has a lot on his mind. I don't blame him." Ahsoka spoke, stepping out into the downpour. Rain bounced off her armour, soaking her tunic underneath.

"I understand. Come on then, race you back to the ship!" Kaeden called out, before sprinting off in the direction they had come from, back through the foliage.

Ahsoka chuckled at her friend's antics, before setting off to pursue the human woman through the jungle and the rain.

Author's thoughts

Now that was a big chapter, but it needed to be to get everything across.

Congratulations to those who correctly guessed that the Jedi was Quinlan Vos. Since he sort of disappears in canon, I thought I would bring him in here. (watch him get killed off in the Vader comic now)

However, it appears that Vos will not be joining the mission. Normally Vos would jump at the chance, but I like the idea that from his experiences in Dark Disciple, and what he lost, he had become more tame and less, crazy, as well as feeling like his time is done.

Also, I'm glad I was able to fool people with the Eighth Brother's charade last chapter. He is fast becoming my favourite character of this AU (besides Ahsoa of course) so I am glad people are liking him, despite his deception.

Now, I know I took some serious liberties with the force in this chapter, with Ahsoka helping Kaeden to feel the force and all, but I liked the idea when it came to me, and it helped me give Ahsoka and Kaeden some private time together. Yes, it most likely breaches everything we know about the force in canon, but you know what... screw-it just this once. If you don't like it, that's fine with me. If you did like that moment, then cool. :)

And before I do comment analysis, there is something I wanted to address. A fair few of you are asking about whether certain imperial characters will appear. Since I am doing a "Meeting of the Moffs" you can expect a many familair faces to show up. My idea for this is that Sidious personally selects the people who have performed the best in that year to attend. So while some familiar faces will show up, others will not. However, I am not going to reveal who will be at the meeting until the meeting happens, kinda like how I am not revealing who is going to be Ahsoka's team until they are recruited. So while I appreciate the questions, and would love to answer them, for the sake of the story, I cannot answer questions regarding if and when they will show up. Sorry. :(

Anyway, next chapter we switch over the Kanan and Zeb, as they head the Krownest to recruit Sabine for the mission.

And now, the comments:

Mysterious Guest: I'm glad you liked the interaction between Thrawn and the Eighth Bro. There is more to come between the two.

LukeDude: Perhaps Thrawn saw the dish and thought it was just a massive satellite or something. However, it is more probable that since the Death Star is yet to be completed, the dish that fires the laser has yet to be installed. It did seem like it was the last thing to go on in Rogue One.
Let us hope that Thrawn catches on soon. He's good, but when it comes to force users, Thrawn is in a bit of trouble.
I know there was no empire in this chapter, despite the heavy presence on Kashyyyk. Lets just assume they were on the other side of the planet.
And now your questions:
1. The Devastator is around. Who's commanding it remains to be seen. (certainly not Konstantine... imagine that!)
2. Bor Gulet... well that depends on if someone needs interrogating. I don't imagine Saw using it on Ahsoka.
3. No Guardians of the Whills will appear. However I do have a one shot in mind for Kanan and Chirrut.
4. Gar Saxon is dead. The events of 'Legacy of Mandalore' still happened in this AU, just without the darksaber. More about that in the next chapter.
5. The Emperor's royal guards will actually do something for once, so you can look forward to that.
6. Getting 20 plus people into a trash compactor scene might be a bit difficult. I'll see what I can do.
7. Wedge will show, and he will fly an X-wing for something.
8. No idea when a Super Star Destoyer shows, but one will at some point.
9. The Jedi temple/Imperial Palace will show in a vision/dream that I have just written for further down the line. Chapter 11 that will be. :)
10. Fenn Rau... wait and see.
11. Versio... wait and see.
12. Sloane... wait and see.
13. Sidious had plans for the Death Star's use, and lets just say it extends beyond Alderaan.

Travis Middleton: Yes, the Eighth Bro is a snake in this, but thats why he is so important. You can never tell what side he is truly on. Thrawn is going to have to be extra careful in the coming days.
I have yet to read the Thrawn novel. One day maybe. :)
As for your questions:
1. The 'Meeting of the Moffs' will consist of people that Sidious has chosen personally who have pleased him the most in the past year.
2. Gallius Rax... wait and see.
3. Suffice to say, someone will not be leaving the 'Meeting of the Moffs' alive. Feel free to speculate as to who. :)
4. Sloane... wait and see.
5. Tarkin taking control of the Death Star... wait and see.
6. Ahsoka shall not be meeting any member of the Church of the Force in this AU, nor will Maul. Sorry.

WolveHulk: Savage surviving and being with Maul through rebels is a great idea. Who knows, maybe in the future I will try something like that.

FossilQueen1984: Sorry to burst your bubble, but as of this point in the story, Thrawn is unaware that he is being played by the Eighth Bro. Thrawn's good, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to the force and force users in general, that's when he struggles. That being said, he will soon begin to piece things together.

SLE's fave guest: Thrawn being vulnerable for once was something I wanted to do. Normally he is the one in control and it's his opponents trying to figure things out. This time round it is reversed.
I'm glad the Eighth Bro's deception worked. Muhahahaahaha!
Well you now know the idenity of the Jedi, but it appears he didn't join the team, so his spot is still open.
Maul's recruit has yet to be identified by anyone, but it will be surprisingly obvious when his chapter rolls around.
Lux Bonteri is a reasonable bet, but he is not much of a fighter really, more a diplomat.
While I am sticking to canon, certain aspects of Legends that I like the idea of will be brought in. (such as Vos on Kashyyyk)
I won't lie, one version of the "Suicide Mission" as I am calling it does have Rex die. If that is the one I went, well, guess you will have to wait in dread.
And yes... I am evil. But not spawn of Palpatine evil... or am I?
