	Prelude.... The Yuuzhan Vong war lasted from 25 A.B.Y. till 30 A.B.Y., coming to a dramatic end during the Battle of Naboo. Seriously weakened by a Jedi strike to regain Yavin Four the previous year, the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated by Alliance forces. Supreme Overlord Shimmra was killed in battle at the hands of a Jedi strike team led by Luke Skywalker and Jaina Solo Fel. Upon his death, the surviving Yuuzhan Vong surrendered, convinced that Jaina Solo Fel was indeed their Trickster Goddess Yun-Harla. The high priest Harrar submitted all of the Yuuzhan Vong technology to the Alliance for further studying, and was placed in charge of the remaining Vong forces. Harrar withdrew them back to their own galaxy, after signing a treaty that vowed they would never again set foot in the known galaxy without explicit permission from the Alliance. The Alliance remains functional, though each of the three governments operates separately in their own territory. Leia Organa Solo was elected temporary Chancellor of State at the end of the war, but stepped down after a year's term and appointed Kyrie Elyasian as the new Chancellor of the New Republic. Elyasian has held the office ever since. The Jedi Order has flourished, despite anti-Jedi sentiment from the still existent Peace Brigade. Determined to have the Jedi removed from the Republic, the organization has evolved into a terrorist group, and warrants for the arrest of any Peace Brigader discovered have been issued. The Jedi Council made their headquarters on Naboo, after they were offered the city of Theed as a base for Jedi operations. From here Luke Skywalker's Council presides over all Jedi matters, while Master Solusar runs the Jedi praxeum established there. The famed Twin Suns Squadron, now entirely consisting of Jedi, remains one of the most feared fighter squadrons in the galaxy, led by Colonel Jaina Solo Fel. Her husband, Colonel Jagged Fel, formerly of the Chiss military, replaced Gavin Darklighter as the commander of the legendary Rogue Squadron upon Darklighter's retirement. Jacen Solo, brother of Jaina Solo Fel, married the former Queen Mother of Hapes Tenel Ka, after her father Isolder remarried, letting Tenel Ka step down and relinquish the throne to Isolder's new wife. Queen Mother Nira Cor'lani has worked tirelessly to bridge the gap between the Republic and the Hapes Consortium, leaving Tenel Ka free to pursue her life as a Jedi. Around 33 A.B.Y., the Republic began to have serious problems with a separatist movement known as the Revolutionaries. Their leader has yet to be identified, nor their goals, but they are believed to be the financial backing for the Peace Brigade's exploits. Chancellor Elyasian has begun military preparations for the impending battle that the Jedi have foreseen, but for now the Revolutionaries are keeping their faces hidden. Luke Skywalker has sent out Jedi on fact-finding missions to gather more information on the Revolutionaries, many of which have returned with little or no findings. Fearing the interference of the dark side, Luke Skywalker had asked Twin Suns Squadron, now trained as a full force strike team as well as a fighter squadron, to investigate disturbances in the Outer Rim... 34 A.B.Y; Coruscant "What was that?" Colonel Jag Fel asked, turning to face his wife. She had her back to him, and was hunched over their bed, hurriedly shoving clothing into her missions bag. She was dressed in Jedi robes, and from the moment he had entered their quarters, he had known she would be leaving. "Naboo," she repeated, not looking up. "Uncle Luke needs me to come to Naboo." "I heard that," Jag replied. "Why?" "Problems in the Outer Rim," Jaina replied. She lifted her eyes, giving him a significant look. "Force problems." Jag nodded, used to his wife running off to save the Jedi Order. He understood it was more than just her duty, it was her life. As a Jedi, and more importantly, as a Skywalker, the Force burned in her veins, so strong and true that she could not refuse its call. He had known that when he married her, but it still didn't make it any easier to watch her head off into certain danger. "The entire squadron is going?" Jag asked, trying to keep his concern out of his voice, but Jaina knew. She always knew. Jag suspected that she didn't even need the Force to read him anymore. She glanced up at him as she stuffed a blaster into her bag. "Yes." Jag nodded, relieved that it would not be Jaina and Kyp running off to save the galaxy on their own again. His wife and Durron tended to find ways to get into trouble even when it seemed impossible to do so. "Any idea how long you'll be gone?" Jaina gave him an apologetic look. "No," she shook her head. "It could be just a few weeks, or it could be a few months." Jag sighed, returning his gaze to the landscape outside of their transparisteel. Jaina stopped packing and moved up behind him, her steps so lithe and graceful that he barely noticed until she slid her arms around his waist and pressed her cheek to his back. They stood like that for a long moment, just savoring the feel of touching one another, then Jag turned to face her, not breaking her embrace. He drew her to his chest, resting his head on hers as he had done so often over the years, and kissed her hair gently. "Be careful," he whispered. She didn't lift her face, but he knew she was smiling. "Aren't I always?" Jag snorted. "Try this time. Okay? For me?" "Okay," was all she said. "I assume you'll be visiting the children at the praxeum before you head out?" Jag asked, though he already knew the answer. Jaina nodded. "I was hoping to spend a day or two with them before Uncle Luke needs us to head out. It's been three months since we were last there." Jag understood the pain in her voice. It was difficult, having your children so far away, even though it was necessary. Five year old Anakin and four year old Padme were both brilliantly strong in the Force, and had started their Jedi training when they were very young. Although they only stayed at the praxeum on Naboo for six months out of the year, two semesters that lasted three months each, Jag found that he missed them terribly. "They'll be coming home soon," he reminded her. "And we'll have a full half year with them before they have to go back." "I know," Jaina said. "And I know Uncle Luke and Jacen both keep a close eye on them. It's just hard, being so far away all the time." Jag didn't reply. He knew that he was the reason they were so far away from their children, even if Jaina never said it. Her squadron was made up entirely of Jedi, it would be easier on them if they were to relocate to Naboo. It was his squadron, Rogue Squadron, that kept them on Coruscant. Jag had spoken to his uncle Wedge, the man who had formed Rogue Squadron all those years ago, about whether or not he should propose a new base of operations for Rogue Squadron, mainly Naboo. Wedge had told him that it was his call. Rogue Squadron had been based off Coruscant before, Jag needed to decide whether or not Rogue Squadron could function so far from the Core Worlds. Jag didn't think it could. Sighing, he kissed his wife on the cheek. "I wish I could go with you," he said. "I want to see Anakin and Padme so badly." "I know," Jaina replied. "And so do they. They're smart kids, understanding, too. They don't blame you for having to work so much." But do they blame me for having to live so far away? Jag wondered, not for the first time. The last time they had been home, Anakin had asked him why he couldn't come live on Naboo, with the rest of the Jedi and Jaina's family. Jag had explained that his squadron was needed on Coruscant, but even though his son had nodded and let it go, Jag had a feeling that Anakin didn't quite believe it. It was hard, raising a son who could read your thoughts and know what you're feeling. Even more so when your son was mischievous, intelligent and capable of just about anything. Anakin and Padme were always up to something it seemed, and from the holos Jacen sent, it seemed that the two of them and Ben caused him no end of grief. I imagine his own son has something to do with it, as well, Jag thought with a snort. Jacen and Tenel Ka had married shortly before Padme was born, and their son Owen was at the age Jaina referred to as the "terrible threes". Jag had not seen his nephew for a long while, but the last time he had Owen had been up to his waist in trouble. "I'll be sure to tell the children that you love them," Jaina promised. "They'll be looking forward to coming for a visit. The last holo I got from Tahiri said that Anakin kept asking her how many days were left until we came to get them." "I don't think he likes Coruscant," Jag said. "Neither does Padme." Jaina rolled her eyes. "Can you blame them? They're children. Jedi children. This whole planet is one big city. Besides, I'm not that fond of it myself." "I know," Jag said, kissing her gently. "I'm sorry." Jaina shrugged. "We both have duties. It's not like you chose to be based so far away from our children." "But you'd be happier on Naboo," Jag concluded wearily. Jaina gave him a sharp look. "I didn't say that." "You didn't have to," Jag retorted. "I know how much you love Naboo. I know how much you miss your family and friends. I know you want to be closer to the Jedi." Jaina shook her head. "What I want is for my husband to actually listen to what I say, not make inferences about what I don't say." She lifted her chin, her brandy brown eyes burning into his. "If I was unhappy here, I would tell you. I'm not so supportive that I would just keep my mouth shut." "Do you ever keep your mouth shut?" Jag asked, cocking his head wryly. Jaina gave an exasperated groan and glared at him. "I'm going to say this once, and if it doesn't get through that thick skull of yours, I'm going to use the Force to wipe your mind of every stupid thought in it until all you can think about is how I'm always right." Jag had to smother the urge to snicker at the threat, but he gave a nod to show he was listening. "I. Am. Happy. Where. Ever. You. Are." Jaina said in the slow, deliberate tone she used with their children, and with her squadron when she was trying to humiliate them. "I know that," Jag replied. "I'm sorry if I upset you. I just feel like you would be happier on Naboo." Jaina gave him an appraising look. "I think you're the one who'd be happier there, that's why we keep having this discussion." She reached onto the bed, grabbed her bag, and swung it over her shoulder. She gave him a long, hard look, her eyes challenging him to disagree. He didn't. Instead, he drew her to him and pressed his lips onto hers in a passionate goodbye. He felt her arms encircle his neck, and heard a thud as her bag hit the ground. They stayed like that for a long moment, everything else forgotten. Jag could have stayed in her arms forever, but he knew that they both had places to be. They drew apart and he smiled down at her beautiful face. "I love you," he said softly. She smiled that smile that made his heart skip a beat, even after all these years. "I know," she said. "I love you, too, Jagged." He touched her cheek, his hand trembling. "I have to go," he said softly. "My uncle needs me for the meeting with Admiral Pellaeon." "I know," she said quietly. "I'll be gone when you're finished." Instead of replying, he kissed her again, tender and sweet. "I'll miss you." "I'll miss you, too, Flyboy," she said with a shaky smile. Jag hugged her tightly, clinging to her as if he might never see her again, which, in their line of work, was always a possibility. He smelled her hair one last time, memorizing the scent, running his fingers through her long, thick mane. "Give my love to the children," he said. She nodded. "I will." He kissed her once more, a slow, deliberate, intense kiss, one that would have to sustain both of them for their time apart, however long it ended up being this time. Then he touched her cheek tenderly, and kissed her hand. Without a word, he slipped back out of their quarters, leaving her to finish her preparations. He didn't want to say goodbye, nor did he want to be there when she left. "Jagged?" her voice called out. He turned to see her poking her head out of the door. "Yes?" he asked. "I'll make sure I speak to Kyp about him telling the Rogues to call you 'Jaggy'," she promised with a smirk. Jag pressed his lips together to keep from smiling. "See that you do that." Jaina laughed, the most beautiful sound Jag had ever heard. "I will. Although, you did bring it on yourself by letting Sharr and Piggy join Rogue Squadron." "My uncle thought it was a good idea," Jag reminded her. "So did Gavin." Jaina smirked. "Jag, dear, think about that for a minute, would you? The former commanders of Rogue Squadron thought you should bring in two of the most notorious Wraiths and try to calm them down? If they thought it was possible, why didn't they do it themselves?" "Oh, they're not so bad," Jag retorted with a smirk. "They like me after the last commander they had. She was so bossy. Actually made them address her as Great One. Can you imagine that?" He ducked to avoid the pillow she chucked at his head, and headed for the his meeting, still laughing when he got there. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization
