[Originally posted on AO3] A princess on the run, a reluctant pilot with a secret mission and a former admiral lost to the stars. When Calista Ordell's whole life is thrown into disarray by the malicious actions of her power-hungry aunt, she is left with no choice but to leave her homeworld, and her people, behind. To reclaim her birthright, she must seek out an old friend with the key to assuring the Resistance's aid. Along the way, she meets the disgraced former rebel pilot Odhen Boro, the enigmatic droid, Watts and his creator, the neurotic and brilliant Jawa, Ton-Ton. Eventually, fate finds a way of bringing a reluctant hero in the form of one heavily opinionated, Poe Dameron into the fray. Through the ensuing chaos, Poe finds himself falling for the headstrong, but equally flawed princess. Could something become of their blossoming relationship or will they have to sacrifice one more thing in the name of honour? Meanwhile, civil unrest engulfs Thesmora as Duchess Maligma begins talks with the First Order, allowing their troops to install an outpost on its borders, causing a schism to form between the people she now rules over.
