The last of Alboria's sun gleamed brightly as it brought in the dusk. Luke Skywalker watched his nephew force train with a pile of small pebbles. The boy holds his right hand out steady, his eyes are closed and a small trace of perspiration appears on his forehead.

He slowly raises the top pebble airborne to eye level from the ground. The pebble floats midair, twisting and turning around. The boy lowers his hand as the pebble follows back down to the pile.
The boy looked at Luke with a smirk.

"Am I getting better Master?" The boy asked wide eyed.

"I think Master Yoda would even be quite impressed." Luke said smiling.

The last bit of the days light dimmed to grey, creating a fog effect throughout the sky. Dusk was here.

Luke Skywalker approached the boy, lifting the hood of his robe over his windblown hair. "I wanted to talk to you about your training Ben." Luke said with his head slightly lowered. They walked side by side in the dying light.
Ben grabbed his robe off the tree branch he laid it upon, and threw it over his shoulders.

Alboria was a green planet that shined bright with blue skys and warm days. It is a planet home to an ancient war against the Republic.

The first Jedi Order was established on the planet Nemgko, the planet closest to Alboria. A darkness drove the Jedi Order from Nemgko to Alboria, where legend states the first Jedi Temple resides.
Luke Skywalker came to this planet in search of the temple, with no luck yet finding it.

"Master, I feel the force building within me. It is growing stronger, maybe soon I am ready for the trials?" Ben said with a hopeful look.

Gem Raak, a padawan in the early stages of his first Jedi Trials began to descend the stairs above them that leads to the fortress.

"Master Skywalker, General Organa seeks your company." Gem said out of breath at the bottom of the steps.
Luke nodded his head to show approval.

"Gem, take Ben to meditate at the temple, the force has proved him worthy today." Luke said climbing the steps.
The temple stood to the right of the fortress. It was something Luke thought every padawan needed, a temple to clear their minds. If the Jedi were ever to regain strength, all precautionary steps needed to be taken.

Luke entered the fortress, Han and Leia stood at the security monitor with looks of concern.
Skywalker removed his hood and approached his companions.

"He is coming along amazingly sister. Your boy will soon be a Jedi." Luke said proudly.

"Of course he is, he is a Skywalker." Leia replied smiling.

Han Solo raised his hand in protest. "Let's not forget he's a Solo too." Luke and Leia looked at each other with warm love for Han.

The monitor beeped in a five second pattern, indicating a nearby ship approaching.

"What's on the monitor?" Luke asked sternly. Of the six years inhabited on Alboria, they have remained hidden and off all the grids of The Brotherhood.

"It looks big..." Leia said with dabs of fear in her eyes. "From the looks of it, it seems to be an Imperial Cruiser."

Luke's heart sank to his stomach, creating a lump in his throat.
Somehow, The Brotherhood had found them.
