Voices From the Past

What is that?

Bibin must be evacuated immediately.

Our people will need all the help they can get

- in order to fly off this planet safely. - Hurry!

The beam missed?

Fire the second shot.

Sir.

Remain calm, everyone.

Everything will be all right.

- Kwana. - Hmm?

There aren't enough ships to evacuate everyone.

Hmm.

Unload all the ore from the cargo holds.

Everyone, you'll have to leave your belongings.

We must work together so we can get as many people as possible on board.

I'm calling all Asteroid Diggers to assist us.

We don't have enough ships to evacuate Bibin.

Please, we need one of your ships to transport refugees.

Hmm.

Ethan?

I'm so glad you're alive, Juro.

Thanks.

The power of that beam is beyond what I could have imagined.

What kind of weapon are we dealing with, and where is he hiding?

The enemy's stronghold is on Yaago.

Nawaam's engineers built a powerful cannon,

and its energy source appears to be kyber crystals.

But I don't know how it reached Bibin.

I'll keep investigating and get back to you.

Right. But make sure you're on your guard.

Hmm.

It's been a while.

An old reliable ship has been found at the palace maintenance deck.

Standby at the port.

Hmm?

We're one of the search parties.

This is a log of who is accounted for.

It seems that everyone else is back at the port.

We can start evacuating now.

Where's Lady Tafflah?

She said she was going to the palace to secure a ship.

- I would like to speak to her. - Yes.

Lady Tafflah.

Lady Tafflah?

Do you read me, Lady Tafflah?

Lady Tafflah!

This is the royal hangar. There's a maintenance deck underground.

Hmm.

Kara!

Heh.

- My Lady, are you all right? - Hmm.

Huh?

Juro, we're all right, but it looks like the door is completely sealed.

Understood.

We'll find another way to get you two out.

Please stand by.

Huh?

It's broken.

And unfortunately, without it,

we don't have any other way to open the hatch up there.

Can it be done remotely?

If we sent a signal to one of the ships, could they do it?

Are you a Jedi?

Uh, I guess. Yeah. I mean, I'm Juro's Padawan. So...

What is your name?

Kara.

Kara, daughter of Lah Zhima.

You know, Kwana said my father was a master killer.

Can I ask, what exactly did my father do?

I didn't know that he was still alive.

There should be a circuit that controls that specific hatch.

Then that means we just need to figure out

how to divert power and connect it back to that circuit.

I see.

Zhima ended up becoming a sabersmith.

Yes.

I have no idea what my father was like as a Jedi.

He never shared stories from that time.

Of course you don't.

You know, in the end, the truth is,

I don't think any of us really knew him at all.

Um, did my father actually kill his master?

Why would he do such a thing?

All I know for sure

is that Zhima did indeed do what is claimed.

But why he did it is a question that no one knows the answer to.

The Jedi had vanished quite some time ago.

There were few left who would even be able to tell stories of them.

Reno Tsutara was among those few.

He arrived at Bibin alongside Juro.

Reno was one of the last 50 surviving Jedi Masters left.

He came to Bibin with the goal of restoring the Order.

My people and I agreed with his vision and decided to support it.

I thought the Order was fighting for peace, free of other interests.

And that their success would be beneficial.

Zhima was among the younglings

who had been gathered and brought here from all corners of the galaxy.

And it did not take very long before he became a standout.

So then my father was strong.

Yes.

Before long, Zhima and Juro completed their training and became Jedi.

Reno sought to expand the Jedi Order.

And both Juro and Zhima

each took on Padawans at his behest.

Although Zhima wasn't exactly a natural as a teacher,

he quickly began to enjoy it.

Around that time,

Reno began actively conducting diplomatic missions

with other star systems.

He made great progress with trade as well.

This very ship was the one he used for those missions.

At that time, there was no central government.

As such, trade was not prosperous.

But leave it to Reno to somehow convince other worlds to make him trade ambassador,

so he could help everyone prosper and grow.

When the head of a spaceport from a wealthy family went missing,

he even stepped in to quell the resulting internal struggle.

Thanks to that, Bibin's commerce expanded.

But behind the scenes,

Zhima was also becoming quite a powerful figure.

My father?

Reno would send him out to fight any surviving Sith.

At the time, there were star systems that employed Sith

to gain trade advantage.

Zhima was more than happy to fine-tune his fighting skills with actual combat.

He truly believed that all these threats should be eliminated

and that the galaxy would be better off without the Sith.

However, the more Reno became absorbed in politics,

the more Zhima appeared to become absorbed in battle.

Keep moving.
