Alarria landed on the nearest planet. She didn't know where she was, she thought back on what he said. "Look for them where stars shine their brightest".

That was very general she was in space. How could she determine that a star is at its brightest. She thought about, what if it's one big star with dwarf stars littered around it.

She sighed this was going to be a long trip. She went to look around the planet. Looking for any signs of life. No one was there.

She could see the signs of a large battle. She could see how lush the planet used to be. Now it was all just remains.

Sha sighed deciding to go to sleep. She woke up from someone or something, knocking on the glass of the fighter.

She slowly opens her eyes. Looking outside. There was a person, a masked person. He was decked out in black. He had a hood over his head, and a mask covering his face.

His attire had strange blue markings on it. It looked familiar to her but her mind was still a bit foggy from sleep. But she got prepared to fight nonetheless.

She opened the fighter, and slowly walked out. The masked person looks at her. "What do you want?", she asks in gritted teeth.

"Do you have issues hearing? Cause I just said–". "I know what you said, I'm here because I tracked life on this planet, are you a Galra soldier?", the person asked.

"Why does it matter, I'm never going back there ever again",  you say looking towards the horizon of the planet.

"So you are Galran", they say. "I never said I was", she retorted. "And for all I know you could be the one that's Galran", she says pointing her finger at the masked person.

They just snicker. Then Alarria looks at him suspiciously. She gasps, "have you been following me?!".

"N-no, why would you think that?", they stutter. "Yeah I'm not convinced", she replies. "Why were you following me?", she says.

She reveals the blade Zear gave her and points it at the person's throat. "Zear told us to be expecting you. P-please don't hurt me", they say fearfully.

She lowers the blade. "Your part of The Blade of Marmora?", she asks. They just nod.

"Well let's get to it then", she says hiding the blade and getting back into the fighter. She offers a hand up to the person, who gladly accepts it.

Zear was right, the stars looked their brightest here. It was breathtaking. She had been flying for a few vargas. The masked person being her guide to the Blade of Marmora base.

He had taken his mask off during the long journey. He was Galra, she was quite shocked at first. But she was happy that some of her people still fought for their independence.

Their base was well hidden. To hidden. It sat on an asteroid, beside a giant blue star, that sat between two black holes.

No one could've been able to find it unless they had the exact coordinates. She was greeted by their leader. A Galra named Kolivan.
