It was a dark night on the planet of Ryloth where a little house stood in the middle of the border between the Bright Lands and the Nightlands. There was a cry of a baby and a light in the Nightlands part of the house turned on. A male human aged around 20 came into a room decorated with pink and blue things all over. He went over to the cot and picked up the little green, baby Twi'lek. She opened her eyes and was looking into blue eyes that nearly match her own. An adult, female Twi'lek, that looked much like the baby (except for the eyes) and around the same age as the male, came in and started gently singing a lullaby that sent the little baby girl to sleep again, and nearly sent the male that was holding her to sleep as well. The man tiredly put the girl down in her cot, turned the light off, and both parents exited the room and went back to sleep.

A little 3 year old, green Twi'lek was playing around in her simple house, that was set on the border between Bright Lands and the Nightlands on Ryloth, with her mother, a twi'lek that looked very similar to the girl, and her father, that was a male human with the same eyes as the girl. Suddenly the door burst open and Stormtroopers marched in the door. The startled family froze with shock until the father pushed the girl towards her mother and took out a blue lightsaber to defend his family. The mother grabbed the girl and a few belongings, such as 2 holocrons, the girls favourite toy and a few credits, and ran out the back door to the ship outside. She boarded the ship and put the girl down in one of the rooms then reached to the  cockpit. She turned the engine on and spun the ship around to see her husband run outside with Stormtroopers hot on his trail. She opened fire on the troopers and her husband rumped onto the ramp, and ran into the ship. The wife closed the hangar door and flew away into space, as the father comforted the child.
The family got to a planet called Lothal and landed near Capital City. The parents searched and searched for the friends they had on the planet, until they finally found them. They gave their daughter to the family and gave them the 2 holocrons to give to the girl when she turned 5. The parents said their final goodbyes to the child and told her to be safe. They then went to their ship and looked at the child one last time, before they flew off into space, never to see their beloved daughter again. Or so they thought at the time.

There was a little Twi'lek girl that was receiving 2 holocrons today, for today was her 5th birthday and her adoptive family promised her birth parents to give her them when she had turned 5. but today was also a sad day for all of those out there that are Force-sensitive. it was also Dark Devil  Day, the day all those Jedi died in Order 66 and the next day, the Empire rose to power. That day is known as Empire Day, but  to most, the day before it is worthless, meaningless, just another day. the girl skipped down the stairs to see her adoptive  parents in the living area with a small rectangular package. she ripped open the parcel and inside were the 2 holocrons, one with a blue center, the other with a green center. She opened the blue one first, as that was her favourite colour, using the Force, which her adoptive parents told her about the day before that, and a holo-image of a cloaked person came in view. "My precious daughter. I am appearing in this hologram hoping you will never see this message. I want you to know that me and your mother love you dearly," a woman now appeared, also in a cloak, and said, "we wish it could not be this way but it has to be. The Empire has found out where we live and will be coming for us soon. Just know that we love you very much and that all you need to know about us in stored within this hologram, as well as this message." She stopped and turned to the man. "And in this hologram," he said holding up the one with the green center, "is all you need to know  about the Jedi, all the Jedi that may have survived Order 66, and anything else you need to know about the past. Any knowledge we can give you about us is stored in the hologram containing this message. We must go now. Goodbye our precious daughter. We hope to see you again; one day." And with that the hologram stopped. The girl moved a piece of the holocron around and up popped a list of things about her parents, but it was not very long. About 5 paragraphs, each with only 2 sentences in them. The girl sighed and closed the holocron.
Suddenly there was a banging on the front door. They all went towards the door and the man opened it. There stood an Imperial Agent with about 10 Stormtroopers behind him. The agent told them that if the man did not sign the form to hand his land over to the Empire, that they would all be killed on the spot. The husband signed the form and they were all taken to Capital City. 
After about an hour wandering around, some rebels found them and took them to Tarkintown, where they were well cared for.

About a month afterwards a kind old fellow came to the town with 2 crates full of food. The man then saw a 5 year old, Twi'lek girl using a holocron that only Force users can use. He went over to her and bent down to her level. he asked her where she learnt to do that. She said she taught herself and that her father was a Jedi. She knew because of his message in her holocron. The man asked her if she wanted to learn the ways of the Force, to become  a Jedi. She said she had to ask her adoptive parents first. the man followed her to her parents and introduced himself, then told them of his offer to their daughter. They agreed to it because they knew it was for the best of her. So the young Twi'lek left her family and went with the old Jedi master to Tatooine, to his home, to start her training as a Jedi.

5 Years later padawan and master went to the planet Dagobah, for the padawan to meet another master, a small green one that always speaks in riddles, and together the two masters trained her until she was 15. At 15 years of age the small green master named her a Jedi, as she was ready to become one.

The girl had gone back to her home on Lotal and was walking around Capital City when a boy about a year younger, with dark blue hair and dark, yet bright blue eyes, came up to her and asked if she could spare some food or credits. she asked  him to take her to his home so she can get to know him more because she  needs some friends. He took her to his home, that is an abandoned communications tower, and she gave him some food. They both introduced themselves and became very close friends even best friends.
One day the girl got a message from one of her old masters, saying that she had to protect her best friend no matter what, as he is a crucial part of the rebellion. She also has to teach him the ways of the Force, so she started out slow by telling him about the Jedi. Then one day, she could not continue his lessons as thy met some rebels. And so the story of Iluna Jadulla and the rebels, starts here.
