BRYN ORGANA

NABOO SLOWLY CAME INTO FOCUS as they came out of light speed, the lush planet far greener than Alderaan was this time of year.

Still, Bryn couldn't help but feel like she was coming home as Jacen smoothly moved through the Trade Federation's presence with little incident.

His companion droid–BD-7, she'd finally learned its name was–moved back and forth across the dash, pressing buttons and automating the landing process as Jacen slid out of the pilot's chair and double checked the gears as they began their descent.
