Hope Remains - A Reylo Story

Prologue

In the aftermath of Snoke's demise, Kylo Ren made a brutal final assault on the depleting numbers of the Resistance. This plan was ultimately thwarted by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker in a valiant sacrifice to distract the First Order from the efforts of Rey and Chewbacca rescuing the very last of the Resistance.

The First Order under their new Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, settled Galactic control on Balmorra, a planet in the Core systems of the Galaxy that was once apart of the Galactic Empire. With the spark of the Resistance dwindling in the Galaxy, many planets readily submitted allegiance to Kylo Ren in fear of suffering the same fate as the Hosnian System.   

In the following months the last of the Resistance settled on Pillio to replenish its resources and numbers. Whilst continuing her Jedi training from the Force ghosts of Luke Skywalker and Yoda, Rey and Kylo Ren's 'visitations' grew stronger and the conflict within each of them exacerbated. The magnets of each of their Force essences compelling each of them to strengthen their trust and mutual understanding of loneliness.

General Leia Organa stepped down as leader of the Resistance handing the title to Commander Poe Dameron and entrusting the survival of its rebellion on his shoulders. Along with Kaydel Connix, Rose Tico, Finn, Snap Wexley, BB-8, R2D2 and C3PO, the Resistance managed to use Leia's personal code to allies in the Outer Rim. One such ally, Lando Calrissian of Bespin, sent out trusted militia headed by his son, Max Calrissian to spread hope throughout the ever compliant Galaxy.

Now, five years later, the First Order's grip on the New Galactic Empire has loosened and the people are rioting giving growth to the Resistance and its rebellion. With support from wealthy benefactors providing the funds needed, the Resistance has been able to expand its fleet into a proper fight. Now its time for Rey to rejoin it after four years of solitude and growth in the Force.
