Jaina Solo sat up quickly, her dreams forgotten as she let loose a terrified yelp. Her brother Jacen rushed in from the neighboring room.

"Quiet," he said to her. "It's really early. You'll wake everyone up."

She looked at him. "Didn't you see it?"

"Yeah, I saw it," Jacen said nodding, "but I have no idea what it means."

"Obviously, a planet somewhere in the galaxy was destroyed because of that beam of energy."

"Did you see the writing on its hull," Jacen asked, "because I didn't see it."

"It said 'Nespis' whatever that means," she said with a sigh as her head drooped forward. Suddenly she sat up straight again. "We need to tell Uncle Luke right away about our vision."

"Come off it, Jaina," Jacen said. If we saw it, I can almost bet that Master Skywalker saw it to."

"You never do know though, do you," she said as she jumped out of bed. "I am going to go see him right now." She stepped through the doorway into the hall…

…And was immediately thrown back by a tall, thin man in a Jedi robe. Master Skywalker.

"Did you two see the vision," Luke asked them.

"Yeah," Jaina said. "I was just coming to see you about it."

"What about your brother, Anakin?"

"I don't know," Jacen jumped in. "He's back on Coruscant with mom and dad. He left earlier today."

"Come on then," said Luke. "Hurry up and get dressed."

"Why," Jaina asked. "Are we going somewhere?"

"You bet we are," he said. "If what I saw is correct, we need to alert Leia and Han immediately.

Coruscant

The sun was just starting to rise when a knock came upon the door of Han and Leia. Anakin, who had awakened early, was the first to the door. He saw a tall man standing there.

"Excuse me, Anakin, but is your father, General Solo, here?"
"Yeah, Should I go get him?"

"Yes, tell him it is very important that he come here immediately."

Anakin rushed down the hall of the suite to his parents' room. He entered and went to the bedside. "Dad, one of the hangar guards is here to see you. He says it is important."

"What could be so important," said Han, "that it concerns my attention on my day off." He sighed and then rolled out of bed. He pulled on his clothes and went out to the guard.

"General Solo," the guard asked bowing.

"Yeah," said Han in between yawns.

"I have some bad news concerning your ship. Late last night, a man that we have already identified as Filop Sein broke into the hangar and stole your ship. He disappeared into hyperspace not to long after, headed for a outer system, we believe."

"You mean she's gone," Han said unbelievingly. He turned around quickly and went back down the hall. He reemerged ten minutes later with his holster around his waist, and Chewbacca following him with his bow caster. "I need a ship," Han said to the guard.

"What are you going to do," the guard asked.

"Simple," Han said as he stood there. "I'm going after her."

The Lunar Quadrant

Near the edge of the galaxy, there lay the Lunar Quadrant. "The perfect place to hide," thought Filop Sein as he came out of hyperspace. Very few people knew of this place. It was here that Darth Nadir had gathered the imperial remnants to build the Nespis X, to prepare for a fiery rain of death.

The first test of this weapon had just taken place as Filop came in from out of hyperspace. The nearby planet of Bulop had been blown away. It was an empty planet, so no lives were lost, but plenty of lives would be lost in due time. His master had promised that.

He landed the ship at the docking bay of the Lunar Quadrant Station, or LQS. The LQS had been abandoned years ago when a horrible gas leak had taken place. Now, it was the center of operations for the imperial remnant.

Two storm troopers greeted him. "Master Nadir wants to see you right away, Sein," They said in unison.

"No problem," Filop said aloud as he walked past them and into the complex. He knew that now, his true training as a Sith would begin.

Filop entered the chambers of Darth Nadir. "You wished to see me, Master?"

"Yes," he said in his hoarse voice. He had his hood pulled up, hiding his face in the dimly lit room. "Did you get the ship?"

"Yes master, I did."

"Excellent. Soon the Nespis X will be complete, and we can begin our rule over the galaxy."

What about the Jedi known as Skywalker," Filop asked curiously.

"Little does he know that he has an enemy inside of him, and soon it will be revealed."
