Hey there! So this story has gotten some traction already, which I didn't expect. Thank you to the brave soul who reviewed the 300 word excerpt I prepared for you to taste what's to come! Which is, y'know, this. Couple of things first: the way I want to present this story is in short chapters with a brief taste of the backstory, then the actual plot. The world is built, but not yet written. And I don't know if you know this, but writing takes a hell of a long time! I can make longer chapters if you need them, but the update rate would definitely lower. Feedback would be appreciated! Anyway, let's meet our protagonists, shall we? - Darthkvzn

There was a huge outcry, at first, when the Republic heard that their just, benevolent leader had been savagely murdered by the Supreme Commander of the CIS. But, like a youngling learns that his senses may be used against him, the Force did not lie. The enormous release of Darkness every Jedi had felt most definitely came from the deceased Chancellor.

A large state funeral took place on his home planet of Naboo, which most everyone who was anyone in the Republic attended. Everyone, that is, except the Jedi Order. They were rather busy, uncovering the truth behind Sheev Palpatine's grandfatherly visage, the twisted and evil face of Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Lies, deceit, political murders and the greatest fake war in the history of the galaxy. Horrific experiments and corruption of the highest echelons of the Republic. The Jedi could scarcely believe it: almost everything since the occupation of Naboo had happened by his will. And it all revolved around one thing.

Twisting Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force to end the Jedi Order and bring the galaxy back under Sith control. And how, pray tell, did Palpatine intend to do this?

The Jedi found out the hard way that Padmé Amidala, former Queen of the Naboo and senator for her planet, was carrying Anakin Skywalker's child - her husband's.

Hurtling through the void of space at faster-than-light speeds was decidedly less exciting than it sounded, thought one young Jedi Padawan by the name of Leia Skywalker. Sure, it was great on paper, and the blue-shifted 'walls' of Hyperspace were definitely enthralling to look at, but the fact remained that there was nothing to do.

"I sense unrest in your mind, Leia." -said her Master, a certain young Togruta Jedi Knight called Ahsoka Tano.

There was little sense in lying. "Yes, Master. Troublesome though our destination may turn out to be, I find myself wanting to be there immediately."

Ahsoka gave her a pointed look and a small smile. "Drop the formalities, Leia. I feel like I'm talking to your mom."

"Why exactly would that be a bad thing?" -she said, crossing her arms.

Ahsoka smirked. "Patience, Leia. You didn't let me finish. I feel like I'm talking to your mom at her workplace, and you know I can't stand politician talk."

Leia pursed her lips, appropriately chided. "I'm sorry Master. It's just...well, it's probably nothing."

Ahsoka raised an eyebrow. "If something is troubling you, the worst thing you could do is keep it to yourself." -she said simply, though she did not prod.

The younger Jedi mulled it over. "I've been having this...feeling. A tiny whisper from the Force, growing louder with every hour."

"Hmm. And what does the Force speak to you about?"

"Turning back. What we're heading towards...it feels wrong. Not just bad, or difficult. Wrong."

Ahsoka pondered her Padawan's words. She hadn't quite heard the whispers, but she had felt some of this...wrongness. Leia's admittedly deeper connection to the Force was likely the reason for her clearer discerning of the upcoming situation. After all, Leia and her twin brother Luke were Skywalkers.

"The first step in conquering one's fears is to recognize them for what they are. And the second is not denying them. Well done, Leia. I've felt the disturbance too. It seems this simple mission of ours may yet prove interesting." -Ahsoka stated wryly.

Leia smirked. "Is dealing with the Confederacy ever not interesting?"

Right! So, a taste of the way I'm characterizing our two main characters, Ahsoka and her Padawan Leia. The Skywalker twin won't be a lot like her movie counterpart aside from general attitude and the way she approaches life, due to her upbringing not being related to the Organa household at all. Remember, the Skywalker-Naberrie family is an actual thing here, so expect major differences. Anyway, hope I've kept you interested, be back in a couple of day with chapter three! - Darthkvzn
