    Title: Legacy of the Sith (book 1): The Age of Heroes
    Author: YodaKenobi
    Timeframe: Post NJO
    Characters: Anakin Solo, Jacen, Jaina, Tahiri, H/L, L/M, Kyp, Jag,everyone else who's ever been seen, spoken, or mentioned in a SW story
    Genre: Adventure, mystery
    Keywords: Cinnamon
    Summary: Three years after "The Living Force" , the galaxy and the Solo family are faced with a new threat.
    Notes:


    This is a continuation of the storyline from Revolution, The Eighth Cortex, and The Living Force . As well as the "teaser epic" Empire of the Hand. You don't need to have read them to understand this story, just know that they replace "The Final Prophecy" and "The Unifying Force" in the NJO storyline, giving the series a different ending.

    This story takes place three years after The Living Force , approximately 32 ABY, known as the beginning of the "Raithian Wars." A period that has long been ignored. It tells the story of the rise of the Raithians, and the Jedi from the Skywalker bloodline who became "Darth Havok."

    This is the first of a four story series called Legacy of the Sith.

    Thanks to the readers of The Living Force and Empire of the Hand for their encouragement!

    "You soft complacent female. You think that because you lounge around your quiet worlds behind a ring of warships that the rest of the galaxy is a safe place to live? There are a hundred different threats that would freeze your blood if you knew about them"— Stent, Visions of the Future, page 429 (paperback)

    "You do realize the Jedi will have to pay for this political involvement."— Vergere, Destiny's Way, page 248.

    Prologue: The Day the End Began

    In the ethereal glow of the space around the planet Denon, a great nebula shaped like an hourglass can be seen against the endless backdrop of darkness and shining beacons that give life, while maddening swirls of orange and red hues embrace the stars coalesced inside.

    At the waist of the nebula, in a haze of green gases, lies an eye. One thick white oval encasing the most startling blue. It is human in appearance with a small black pupil, like a woman staring frozen at a brilliant light, her shock evident in the tiny white star in the edge of the iris.

    It is the Eye of the Galaxy.

    Situated in the Inner Rim, its gaze stretches to corners of the galaxy not imagined by the thousands of sentient creatures inhabiting its vastness. If the Eye could see, this is what it would watch on the day the end began.

    It would focus on a single ship that appeared out of nowhere, as if the galaxy itself had simply willed it to be born.

    The ship is alien.

    It has never been inside the borders of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances before.

    The government's highest-ranking intelligence officials have never seen anything like it, though others have been there and gone unnoticed.

    Black hulled with a long sharp nose, of which a considerable bulk is hooked beneath, the two eye-like viewports of its cockpit are atop it closer to its ion drives than its tip, two stubby wings on either side— the ship is stealth. It is seen only because it wishes to be seen— by the Eye and all.

    Intricate circuitry is fused into the thick hull plating, so complex, the galaxy's brightest technicians and scientific minds could study it for half a decade and not grasp it entirely. Even when it exposes itself, on a direct course for the glowing industrialized planet nearby, Denon's sensors have difficulty picking it up at all.

    Inside the alien craft is a lone passenger.

    Her name is Callista.

    What she carries with her is nothing short of the end of the Galaxy.

    The end of the Galactic Alliance.

    Echoing threat alarms and warnings bring a swarm of security ships from the planet's surface when the vessel is spotted. Inside one of these white-plated security ships, encased in a transparisteel canopy trimmed in the same burgundy as its wings, is another woman.

    Her name is Mara.

    Mara Jade Skywalker is as happy as she's ever been. Three years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict, she is healthy and married to a man who adores her, raising their five-year-old son, Ben, together in the relative peace of the galaxy's temporary capital. She is thinking only about how she would rather be flying the Jade Shadow or her new starfighter instead of the slower snubfighter issued to the planet's security force.

    She has no idea that her life is about to be ruined.

    As a special agent working for the GFI, Mara's experience and status as a Jedi Master leave her at the head of the pack. The alien craft has not responded to the numerous panicked hails from the communications stations on Denon's surface. It does not have a HoloNet transceiver, nor has it ever had a use for one until now.

    Before Mara sends a short range burst transmission from her fighter warning its pilot that it will be shot down if it continues towards the planet without responding and identifying itself, she reaches out with the Force, the great life-energy that surrounds, fills, and binds the universe together.

    She reaches for the ship.

    That's when she realizes.

    Inside the Watchkeeper Nebula, the Eye of the Galaxy watches all.

    Wow...quite a Dramatis. But who's surprised? :D Can't wait to see what happens with Strift and Neget.

    At the waist of the nebula, in a haze of green gases, lies an eye. One thick white oval encasing the most startling blue. It is human in appearance with a small black pupil, like a woman staring frozen at a brilliant light, her shock evident in the tiny white star in the edge of the iris.

    Lovely description here. I got the chills reading it.

    Very cool title. :D

    "You do realize the Jedi will have to pay for this political involvement."? Vergere, Destiny's Way, page 248
    .


    I?ve read these two quotes over and over, trying to figure out how they relate to the story, of course I?m not getting anything yet. :p But it adds to the mystery so it?s cool. :cool:

    For jagsredlady and Thrawn McEwok, whose continued assistance, inspiration, and encouragement throughout the writing process have been more helpful than I can tell either.

    :eek: *speechless and humbled* [face_blush] Thank you! [:D]

    It is the Eye of the Galaxy.


    The picture of the Hourglass Nebula with the ?eye? at its center is so chillingly perfect for this fic. I get goosebumps everytime I look at it. [face_hypnotized] Beautifully written and sets the mood for the mystery and the adventure to come.

    Inside the Watchkeeper Nebula, the Eye of the Galaxy watches all.

    *shivers* And so the adventure and mystery begins?

    I can hardly wait for more! :D

    *does a little dance* [face_dancing][face_dancing][face_dancing]

    Though I haven't read the prequels to this (though I have been meaning to do so and will someday, I swear :D), this grabbed me right from the get-go. Very Stover-esque writing, without being any sort of ripoff. I like how you began this with a plot twist. I was sitting like this: :eek: by the end. [face_laugh]

    Dramatis Personae: :eek: Now that's what I'm talking about! :D I'm working on something that will probably never see the light of day, and I thought it was going to be unmanagable with almost 40 characters. I look forward to seeing you juggle your 75. :p Though if anyone has that kind of dexterity, I'm sure it's you. :)

    I'm addicted already. ;)

    Great beginning.

    Is it too soon to ask for more?

    [EDIT] Oh, and I like the name. :D

    And that Kyp is ahead of Jag in the thread title. :p Just kidding.

    And the quotes at the beginning. Chilling foreshadowing.

    Whee. [face_dancing] Looks like it will be most interesting. The extensive character list frightened me until I remembered who was writing this. :p

    You have a gift with words, you know that? Makes it a lot of fun to read. :D

    Keyword cinnamon?

    Is there some inside joke I don't know :confused:

    So I'm jumping in here. Going to follow the awesomeness from the very beginning (much easier than catching up)

    You're writing is masterful; especialy powerful for a prologue. It makes me want to read more.

    Inside the Watchkeeper Nebula, the Eye of the Galaxy watches all.

    Fabulous ending to the beginning =D=

    Oh my, that is quite the list of characters. I'm impressed. I'm looking forward to this too. I'm a little concerned here - you are going to ruin Mara's life? [face_worried]

    Keyword Cinnamon? :confused:

    do you have a posting schedule?

    Hello!

    I'm so happy to be here at the start of one of your fics. I've been reading and trying to catch up on Empire of the Hand. I promise, one of these days, I'll get there. ;)

    I'm blown away by the DP. Looking forward to all the goodies you've got planned.

    What an opener! Mara vs. the Body Snatcher. Exciting..and patiently awaiting more.

    If you send out PMs, I'd love to be included. [:D]

    W00T!!! :D I can't believe it's finally here! :D This fic sounds so fun! I like the title too. And what a cast of characters! How will you keep track of them all?!? :-B Now I have the "Battle of Heroes" song stuck in my head. *grumbles* :p

    A very interesting beginning. I had wondered where Callista got off to. Nice to see she's up to some mischief. [face_worried]

    I can't wait to see where you go with this!

    A very good start! :)

    *lurks*

    Very happy to see this starting [face_dancing]

    The trailer promises some great events.

    The Eye of the Galaxy, very interesting [face_thinking]

    And even more interesting to see Callista again, as well as this alien ship. Mara must tread carefully, I thinks.

    Good prologue.

    Hey there, YK! :D

    Yeah, so I'm hopelessly behind in my grand plan :p to catch up on your prior fics. :( But seeing you start this new series sounded like a good time to leap right in. ;) And who knows, if I'm hooked I'll probably read the others faster. :p

    Very impressive character list. :eek: I guess this isn't going to be a short story? [face_laugh]

    Great prologue. The whole nebula bit was cool - plus it left me wondering exactly what meaning I was supposed to take from the imagery. I like that. :cool:

    Hmm. Callista... [face_thinking]

    Can't wait to see where things go from here. :D

    This is unexpectedly.... delicious.

    Reserve a space, I shall.

    I think I'll go post a trailer up on the Lost Hero, incidentally.

    This is so GREAT yodakenobi. Sometime ago I finished reading all your previous alternative NJO fic and just loved them. They were so goooooooddd. So much better than the original NJO.
    So anyway I was really getting bored few days ago and wondered off to your Living Force thread for some reason ( The FORCE [face_thinking] ) and there it was my salvation, your announcement! You were about to publish a new fic again. I am so thrilled. If it is even half as good as the previous one (and you will keep developind Anakin/Tahiri thing) you have single handedly kept me as a Star wars fan for yet another year ( I hate NJO and DN so MUCH, that I am afraid that they will somehow ruin the LOTF also). I only hope that delrey would make as good job as some people here on the forums.


    Yodakenobi, I salute you =D=

    Yay! We're off again. Woopee.

    Great beginning sequence and beautiful language. I'm going to have to hide on a desert island so I can read uninterrupted and get TLF finished - or maybe I'll just keep fighting the kids off the computer. LOL

    Seriously looking forward to this. Nice to see a new threat for the old gang. :)
