 Tascama Yagus raced in from her last day of primary school on Quellor. She had not been able to enjoy the graduation party as much as her classmates because she knew the Jedi Academy information had arrived at her home today. She could not wait to find out when she would leave. And she couldn't wait until she could meet her all-time hero: Luke Skywalker!

A shy twelve-year-old girl, stocky, and with good upper body strength, Tascama's Force-sensitivity had first manifested with Force-sight a few months earlier. Her shoulder-length, brown hair tangled behind her as she ran down the clay path to her family's modest trailer. Sweat plastered her bangs to her forehead in the warm afternoon sun.

Her mother was preparing dinner in the small kitchen when she opened the screen door, kicked the dirt clods from her boots, and raced to the counter. Her little brother Keegan was playing with a toy transport on the kitchen floor, crawling all over the place and getting under their mother's feet. But her dad had not arrived home yet from driving a transport for the city government.

"Where is it, Mama? I know it came today."

"Can't hide anything from you, Tascama," her mom said with a bittersweet smile. "I have it on the datapad."

Tascama quickly ran to the datapad on the kitchen table and read the communiqué carefully.

Welcome, Padawan Tascama Yagus.

Your transport to the rendezvous point has been scheduled.

You will take the transport from the shuttle port on your home planet Quellor

to Mimban Transfer Station tomorrow morning at 0500.

Tascama said, "Tomorrow, Mama."

"Yes, I know. But read the rest."

Please print out your travel chits and

have your identification documents with you at all times.

A uniformed Fleet ensign will escort you from Mimban to the rendezvous point.

Bring one small bag with clothing for five days.

You may bring a few books for pleasure reading,
