Timeframe: IT

Summary: While on an undercover mission, Siri Tachi is able to escape the deady Jedi Purge. The is the story of her life after Order 66; how she survived and how she could move on after the worst happened.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Siri or anything else in the Star Wars universe. All I own is my OCs and the plot.
A New Beginning
Prologue
It came out of nowhere. The deadly purge ended almost as quickly as it began. It was hard to believe that thousands of capable warriors could all be simultaneously destroyed all across the galaxy. To most people it was shocking and unbelievable. To Jedi Knight Siri Tachi, the horrible betrayal and ruthless murder was only the beginning.
There had been no warning not even through the Force. The Jedi Order that was around for a thousand years was completely annihilated in one day. Her whole world turned upside down and she was one more victim whose days were numbered. The people who raised her and the only home she ever knew were now gone forever. The fight to survive, however, had just begun.
On this particular day Siri was on yet another treacherous mission during the Clone Wars. She was on an undercover mission, which had become her specialty over the last few years. When the order came to exterminate all Jedi, her alias was enough to protect her Jedi identity. It didn’t take long for Siri to realize what was going on; she felt the death of thousands through the Force.
Instantly she made the decision to leave her mission despite the fact she’d never abandoned one before. Being a member of the Jedi Order was what Siri was born to do, and she wasn’t going to let her whole world disappear if she could prevent it.
She cautiously went to her transport sighed in relief once she was seated in the familiar cockpit. Siri had the feeling that it might be too late already to save any of her comrades, but she would try even if was her death sentence. Powering up her craft she heard something suddenly that nearly made her blood run cold.
It was repeating signal that every Jedi in the galaxy would recognize instantly. The signal’s translation was simply that the war was over and that they should return to the Temple immediately. Siri didn’t buy it; she figured it was a trap. For one brief moment she considered going back to the Temple and trying to change the signal; but she figured it would only be suicidal.
Siri plugged in the coordinates to Coruscant, deciding that a short trip there would be her best course of action. But she feared that she might be tracked, so she set her navcomputer to do several hyperspace jumps in several different vectors before ending up at the city-planet. Next, Siri accessed the holonet nervous about what she would hear.
What she heard, however, chilled to the bone.
“And the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated!” exclaimed the recognizable voice of Chancellor Palpatine.
Siri turned it off nauseated as the deep truth set in. Palpatine is Darth Sidious! She though with dismay. The Sith Lord hadn’t been hiding from them after all. No he was right before their eyes the entire time, and now he was eradicating the Jedi. She didn’t want to hear anymore, but she had to stay informed. She opened the connection again to hear Palpatine, no Sidious speak again.
“The attempt on my life has left me scarred...and deformed. But I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger!” he declared.
Siri wondered what ‘attempt’ was made on his life. She was sure that once the Jedi learned of his true identity they would try to stop him. She only hoped that the Jedi involved were able to save themselves. Facing a Sith Lord, however, it was highly unlikely.
“In order to ensure the security and continuing stability…the Republic will be reorganized. Into the First Galactic Empire!” Sidious shouted.
Siri felt sick. This couldn’t be happening. Life was going to be very different from now on. That is if she was able to survive and hide her true identity.
“For a safe and secure society,” Sidious said.
Siri ended the transmission in a hurry. She snorted derisively. As if the galaxy was going to be safe anymore. But she had no doubts that it would be secure, like a dictatorship.

Wow! This is great! I love Siri!  Please PM me if there is more! 
Just so you know you put Death Sidious instead of Darth Sidious. Well unless it was intentional?

What an amazing beginning, I'm pretty sure I was holding my breath through most of it! Oooooh, I love the idea of Siri surviving - this is definitely a tale I will be following with much interest.  Please put me high up on the PM list if you have one!
Looking forward to more, Lily!

A New Beginning
Chapter 1
Two days later Siri landed her ship in one of Coruscant’s numerous docking bays. She still felt numb about the out come of this war and she was terrified as she’d never been in her entire life. Still, she always was able to think rationally in dire situations. Siri needed false id docs and to find out if there were any other surviving Jedi.
The first thing she’d done when she arrived at the city-planet was to fly past the Jedi Temple, despite it being very hard to see her home in total disrepair. There were parts of the Temple that were utterly destroyed and Clone Troopers were patrolling outside. It was one of the few time in Siri’s life that she was completely helpless. She felt numb and cold as though she would never smile again.
Siri knew without a doubt that inside the Temple would be the fallen Jedi. She didn’t want to think of it, but she was sure that everyone was dead from the greatest of masters to the smallest initiates. She herself took a few of those children from their homes and brought them to the Temple; it hurt to think what those parents must think of her now. So much life lost, and it wasn’t going to end soon.
With a heavy heart Siri tried to push away those emotions that tugged at her heart. She had to be strong right now if she were to survive. Despite how hard she knew it would be.
~~~~~
Siri landed her transport at a spaceport and handed the attendant a few credits. Then she moved through the Senatorial District doing her best to control her nerves. Here there were Clone Troopers everywhere, and they were questioning individuals periodically. She used the Force to try and divert their attention from herself and was grateful once more that she wasn’t attired in the classic Jedi garb. If she were then it would certainly be suicidal.
Reaching her destination, Siri opened the door and walked inside a noisy diner. Immediately she was approached by a young blonde woman.
“Table for one?” she asked.
Siri shook her head. “No,” she said almost in a whisper. “I would like to speak with Dex.”
The woman’s brows rose and she nodded. “Follow me,” she said.
Siri followed the girl into a rather cramped and cluttered office. “He’ll be with you soon,” she said and exited the room.
She didn’t wait long before the door opened and a large Besalisk came through the door. This particular individual, Dexster Jettster was a longtime friend of all Jedi. Dex looked alarmed to see her, and Siri could feel his nervousness as he sat down across from her.
“May I help you?” Dex asked nervously.
Siri reached up and pulled off the brown wig she’d been wearing. Her blonde locks cascaded down her back, and Dex’s expression changed entirely.
“Master Tachi!” he whispered excitedly in a rush. “You survived!”
Siri nodded. “Yes, I was undercover and they didn’t realize I’m a Jedi.”
“I’m so happy to hear that someone survived the purge,” Dex said with a big smile on his face.
“You mean,” Siri said with a frown. “You haven’t heard from anyone?”
“No,” Dex answered. “And I’m sure I will have to go into hiding soon. The Empire knows that I’ve helped Jedi in the past.”
“I must say that I’m sorry for causing you any inconvenience, but I need your help. Can you make me some new id docs? I need to disappear,” Siri explained.
“I would never turn away a Jedi,” Dex said, grinning again.
“Thank you,” Siri replied. She was so fortunate that there were still good people out there like Dex, who would still help an outlaw as she had now become.
Dex stood up and began looking through files quickly with the use of his four large hands. He pulled out a datasheet and handed it to her.
“How does Sera Ketaris sound?” Dex asked.
“As good as any name,” Siri replied and she looked over the file. The identification would work well for her. A young recently widowed woman who wanted to make a new start in a new world. It almost matched her real life situation perfectly.
~~~~~
“Thank you Dex, I don’t know how I could repay you,” Siri replied gratefully a half an hour later as she looked at her new documentation.
It was perfect. Siri had replaced the wig with a new one, this time short brown. She would dye her hair when she reached her destination. The last thing she did was get lenses for her eyes that would make her eyes look green instead of blue.
“Don’t worry about it,” Dex answered. “I’m glad I could help a Jedi. Now tell me, have you heard from Obi-Wan Kenobi?” he asked.
Siri felt her heart jump into her feet. Obi-Wan… She didn’t want to think about him, nor to be reminded of him. He was a part of her life that she wanted to forget existed. For all she knew he could be dead, and it was highly likely that he was.
“No,” she answered. “I haven’t heard from him.”
~~~~~
Siri sat in her transport studying star charts. She had to find a system that didn’t have a huge Imperial standing and would be an easy place to blend in. Several systems seemed likely, but one captured her attention. Valinor was a peaceable Outer Rim planet that never was a big target during the Clone Wars. It would be a perfect place to start her new life.
She eased her way through Coruscant’s traffic and up into the atmosphere and before long she saw thousands of twinkling stars. Siri plugged in the coordinates for Valinor and pulled back the lever that would push her into hyperspace. Siri watched the stars stretch into starlines and then sat back. She had so much to think about.
If someone were to tell her a few months ago that the Jedi Order would be irrevocably destroyed in a matter of days, she would have laughed. Being a Jedi was her whole life and now Siri really didn’t know what to do anymore. Her life ceased to have meaning the day the Purge started.
AN: If anyone has read my Knight And His Queen story then yes the name Sera Ketaris was taken from that. The stories have no connection, I just like that name. And if anyone caught the Lord of the Rings reference you get virtual cookies!
