Shadows of the Force [Captain Rex x F!OC]

Prologue: The Lost and the Jedi

She never imagined that her life would lead her here, pulled from the ruins of Earth by strangers from the stars. Earth had been her home. A beautiful planet filled with breathtaking landscapes, vast oceans, and vibrant life. Then, in an instant, everything was lost. A catastrophic event wiped it all away, leaving only a desolate wasteland of memories and ruins. She was the last one left.

Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his team were in the midst of the Clone Wars. During a mission in the Outer Rim, they intercepted a strange transmission, an encrypted set of coordinates. The origin was completely unknown, from a system not charted on any galactic maps. Intrigued and wary, Anakin was compelled to investigate, sensing an unusual pull in the Force.

As they dropped out of hyperspace, a blue-green planet came into view, surrounded by silence and untouched by galactic civilization. It was unlike any world Anakin had seen. The team landed cautiously, disembarking to explore the area around their landing site.

In the distance, wandering through the wreckage of what seemed to be a city, Anakin saw a figure. He hurried over, the clones following closely. As he approached, he could see the exhaustion and despair in her eyes—a young woman, lost and out of place.

"Hey! Are you alright?" he called, his voice filled with urgency.

The girl looked up, startled. She blinked, taking in the sight of the armored soldiers and the man who had spoken to her. Her voice was barely more than a whisper. "I... I'm alone. My world... it's gone" The words escaped her, weighed down with grief and disbelief.

Anakin's expression softened, sensing something in her that he couldn't quite place. He approached slowly. "You're okay now" he reassured her, his tone warm. "We're here to help. My name is Anakin, and these are my men." He said, motioning toward the troopers behind him.

One of them stepped forward, removing his helmet to reveal a strong face framed by a blond buzz cut and intense brown eyes. His expression held a mixture of sympathy and curiosity. His armor was distinguished by a blue pauldron on his shoulder. "I'm Captain Rex. What's your name?" he asked gently.

"Stella" she managed to say, her heart racing.

Anakin gave her a gentle nod, motioning for her to follow. "Come on Stella, we'll take you somewhere safe"
