“It's so peaceful here… the Force permeates everything.”
―Nomi Sunrider
The planet Ossus hung limned in fire, a giant grey pearl floating between the orange globes of two suns. It was grey because the entire world was covered in clouds. It was covered in clouds because, twice each year, Ossus...
“Warrior-like men, witches — this place is all kinds of fun.”
― Anakin Skywalker
The mission was as straightforward – albeit not easy. And there was a distinction. A sizeable one. The echoes of the event on Dathomir were still being heard. The Jedi – and no doubt the Sith – sensed a need to...
“Chandrila is a jewel of the Core Worlds but has historically harboured factions of dissent and treason.”
― Colonel Maximilian Veers
Fiach’s ship dropped out of hyperspace.
There, looming into view, was Chandrila – a small, blue-green planet, once home of the nascent New Republic. Nearly...
“Well, if there’s a bright center to the universe, you’re on the planet that it’s farthest from.”
― Luke Skywalker, to C-3PO
The planet Tatooine sat in the Outer Rim, a lonely stretch of the galaxy that in the days of old, even the Republic didn't bother to deal with. Twin yellow suns shone on...
“Anakin, training to be a Jedi isn't an easy challenge. And even if you succeed, it's a hard life.”
― Qui-Gon Jinn, to Anakin Skywalker
It was said that a Jedi never stops learning and even if it were not a mantra, it was an approach that Fiach would adopt regardless. And so it was that, as...
“It's kind of pretty from up here.”
“Sure, if you like depressing industrial space junk.”
― Zay Versio and Shriv Suurgav
Fiach had often visited the Mid Rim, but had never been to Bracca before and was something of a geek when it came to visiting planets, so mentally ticked it off her list...
“Coruscant, capital of the Republic, an entire planet evolved into one city.”
―Ric Olié
In the lowest levels, in the abyssal urban depths, of the ecumenopolis that was Coruscant, it was a rare thing indeed to see sunlight. For the inhabitants of the baroque and gleaming cloudcutters, skytowers...
“Ah, there she is—the Ebon Hawk. My pride and joy; the fastest ship in the Outer Rim!”
― Davik Kang
Fiach was a creature of habit. She was a traditionalist for a start – hence the Jedi robes in shades of brown and beige, and the choice of an R2 unit for an astromech droid.
And her preference...
“I’m coming to believe that we must all interpret the Code for ourselves, or it ceases to be a living pact and becomes nothing but a prison cell.”
– Qui-Gon Jinn
Fiach knew the time would come. She knew from a point even before she had been Knighted and finally became able to call herself a...
OUTER RIM
“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.”
– Qui-Gon Jinn
Fiach sat in her ship, a modern variant of the old YT-series light freighter. She liked it for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was a common vessel – used by cargo haulers, explorers and pirates alike. She also...
“Look at this. All the database says is: “Abafar: information on Planet Void.”
― Meebur Gascon
Abafar was a remote desert planet located within the Outer Rim Territories, and was host to massive amounts of rhydonium, a scarce and volatile fuel source. The large desert was known as the Void, and...
A WORKSHOP ON AJAN KLOSS
“Beep-boop-beep.”
– R2-D2
Ever since she’d signed up for Jedi Knight Nara Allam’s training, Fiach had developed a desire to build a droid from scratch. She repaired many, many droids in her time – but never created one from raw materials. But what type of droid to...
"Sand stays. All else changes."
―Iziz
Fiach was used to Jedi and Padawans coming in all shapes and sizes. Not that she was ever going to be someone to judge. As a human raised on Klatooine by Klatooninans who adopted her, she was used to prejudice and had no time for it whatsoever. Which is why...
“I am ready to face the Trials.”
― Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Jedi Trials were a process that Padawans of the Jedi Order took in order to achieve the rank of Jedi Knight. During the trials, Padawans must go through nine steps of assessment, namely: teamwork, isolation, fear, anger, betrayal, focus...
“Onderon? Nothing on that rock but monsters and beast riders.”
― Tallo
The Japrael system, also called the Onderon system, was home to the planet Onderon along with seven other planets. It centred around the star Prael. It was where the ship was currently heading as it travelled through...
“Every feint, every dodge, every block is a trap to the unwary.”
― Lightsaber combat tenet
TRAINING DOJO
Few of the students actually possessed lightsabers yet; they still had to prove themselves worthy in the eyes of the instructors. In fact, it was impressed upon them that they should learn...
“This place is wild and untamed. It stirs the blood and makes one feel…alive.”
― Juhani
Right on cue, the view blurred and shifted into the more familiar starscape of the galactic backdrop. Below was Kashyyyk, a patchwork sphere in green and blue hanging off the starboard bow. It was still a...
“Obi-Wan had never addressed telekinesis with me. It was likely that I wasn't strong enough to begin training in such an advanced field of study. That didn't mean I shouldn't try.”
― Luke Skywalker in his personal writings
Fiach knew a lot about the Force – or at least from a theoretical...
“The Martyrium of Frozen Tears. The scriptures say there's a confessional made of solid kyberite.”
“…What?”
“Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about regrets. Seemed fitting. Narrowed it down to somewhere in the Deep Core—never found the damn place. Ah well.”
― Korin Aphra and Chelli Aphra
Fiach...
“The zymod was an arboreal creature native to the jungle moon Ajan Kloss. They had the ability to change the colour of their hide.”
– Galactic database on fauna, native to Ajara
Although Ajan Kloss was a moon, it had two moons of its own. And the jungle resonated with life although there were...
