Last son of Krypton trained by the Jedi order, You are Yoda's Padawan for your great power in the force considered by some in the Order as the Chosen One, like Anakin Skywalker
A people enslaved! To locate the abducted colonists of a peace-loving world, the Jedi infiltrated the slaver planet of Zygerria, only to be captured by its ambitious queen, who plots to rebuild her empire of oppression.

Count Dooku was arriving on the planet Zygerria in his distinctive Punworca ship. As soon as he'd heard that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi had been captured, he'd wasted no time making the journey. And even more compelling was the news that his old master's Padawan was also being held there. It was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.
The miniature hologram of Sidious materialized in front of Dooku, who was momentarily surprised to see his master contact him directly. He quickly composed himself, straightening his posture.
"Long have Sith empires been built upon the backs of slaves," Sidious said, his distorted voice echoing in the ship's cockpit. "To carry on this tradition, we will require millions."
"I assure you, the Queen's defiance will not sour your plans, Master," Dooku replied smoothly.
Sidious leaned forward slightly in the hologram, studying his apprentice with those terrible yellow eyes. "If she fails to see the error of her ways, end her rule. Mmmmm, I sense a certain concern in you, my apprentice." His voice took on a dangerous edge as he looked directly into Dooku's eyes.

Dooku looked away, unable to hold that penetrating gaze. "I'm sorry, Master. I'm just worried that the Zygerrians will ruin our plans."
Sidious stared at him for several long seconds, and Dooku could feel the weight of that scrutiny pressing down on him. Then the hologram flickered and disappeared without another word. Dooku breathed a sigh of relief the moment he was alone again. The last thing he needed right now was for his master to discover the boy and his potential.

After taking Anakin as her personal slave, the queen had kept him close ever since their capture. She wanted to savor her victory, to show off her prize.
The queen and Anakin walked through her palace now, followed closely by two guards. The queen knew how dangerous and cunning the Jedi could be—she'd heard the stories, seen the reports from the war. She truly believed she had this one under control, which was why she had her hands wrapped around Anakin's arm possessively. Much to his obvious annoyance.
The problem was that the queen thought she was in control of the situation. What she didn't understand was that she'd actually fallen in love with Anakin at first sight, and that's why she wanted him constantly by her side. It was clouding her judgment.
"Have you considered my offer, Skywalker?" she asked, her voice carrying a note of genuine hope beneath the imperious tone. "If you vow loyalty to me, I will free your friends."
