~More than anything he wanted to know her. This yearning, so agonizing threatened to devour him whole.~Anakin Skywalker
Cassandra Pierce is hunted by a powerful evil, putting everyone in danger. Kamar Taj reaches out to the Jedi Temple for aid. Newl...
Anakin had not flown a Naboo ship in years. Beside him Captain Typho occupied the copilot's seat. The quiet man was the Senator's chief of security. He was circumspect and loyal, necessary qualities to work for a politician.

Up ahead, Ansion appeared in the firmament, a dusty orb surrounded by twinkling stars. Soon, they would be whisked into King Na'lel's presence to try and convince the ruler to remain with the Republic.

His protective instincts screamed at him to turn the ship around and fly back to Coruscant where Cassandra would be safer. An assassin was easier to defend against than an army of droids.

The astromech rolled over to the droid port and linked itself into the system. R2-D2 beeped at Anakin.

The droid released a series of shrill whistles.

A hail of lasers bombarded the craft, slamming into the left wing. Anakin turned sharply, the ship tipping precariously to the right. "We need to get planet side! Fire torpedos as a diversion!"
