Well, as you may know the galaxy isbasically split into TWO groups,

the New Republic andAs it seems, the so called New Republic stands among the shatters of what’s left of the old Republic struggling to rebuild what was broken. Since Leia Organa Solo’s murder the Republic crumbled and fell apart, and now her daughter has started to pick up the pieces. Answering a call from Admiral Ackbar she came back and picked up where her mother left.

On the other side of the board sits the huge and imposing machine of the Empire, still strong and still working, and now under a new ruler, if the rumors are true. They may not be as strong as they once were, but they’re getting there.

Actually, the way I see, none of them are as strong as they would like, so both secure representatives in the galatic senate and fight their war through politics.

Where can a bounty hunter find more credits?

the Empire.

From Lok Darren’s datalog: transcript from communication A#32

This story does not take place on the regular Star Wars continuity, instead it is a self-contained continuity created for the sake of creativity freedom.

This is not a comic to be sold it’s just a fan’s work. I’ve drank on the infinity well of information and ideas that the internet provides regarding Star Wars, from Wookipedia to other fans’ works. Thank you all. This story was born a long, long time ago at an rpg table.

Thanks to Daphne and her unending criticism, it made it all better. Thanks to Pete for being such a Star Wars nerd and his research and to the rest of the gang for all the readings and critics. And thanks to Anibal Folco for the typography mastermind.

All the characters here was created by me, except the original ones, like Jaina and Admiral Ackbar, and the protagonists. Stratus Darklighter was created by Pete Burton and me; Lok Darren was created by Rene Hendrick and me; Hazu was created by Marcelo Fazoli and me; and Dirtran was created by Cassio Jordão and me.

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

There is no emotion, there is peace.

Emotions are a natural part of living. Jedi are not immune

to feeling. They must be understood first. Unless a Jedi can confront his thoughts and feelings, he will never

achieve peace.

A Jedi must be circumspect and try to understand the world surrounding him. A Jedi has to be

open minded.

Passionate use of power leads to the dark side. A Jedi must always act with a calm hand and an even

temper.

Death is not a tragedy and is merely a part of life. Without

death, life could not exist.

There is no passion, there is serenity.

There is no death, there is the Force.

Page 6: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

You were confused, your heart was in the right

place, but your mindwas not.

I thought you understood the force, but you had an eagerness to be powerfull that I failed to

see. But I do see now.

Dirtran was not a jedi yet, but he fought like one. His sacrifice won’t be in vain.

Page 7: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4
Page 8: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

Ah, look... not wanting to sound cold with Dirtran’s

death and all but as I told you before my ship has been damaged

beyond a simple repair, it was not easy getting away

from that planet.

We will have to stop somewhere to fix things.

Tarrj found a small planet around here, we don’t have

much info about it but I don’t see any other

choice.

My hyperdrive is crashed so we cannot make the jump. We might keep flying but since we’re been tracked I believe as soon as we fix the hyperdrive

and get back the better. Jaina?

I believe you’re right Lok, we don’t

have much of a choice, do we?

I don’t see any.

Page 9: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

Hazu?

I’m sorry, I was distracted. Uh…

yes I believe Lok is right.

Ask master Argon.

I would but he’s in some sort of a

concentration trance since he returned from

his battle against the Emperor.

The lure of the darkside is strong, but it has never appealed

to me. I seek the balance of the force,the progressive evolution through hard work and knowledge. I don’t

really understand those who seek the dark path.

Lok let’s go to this

planet.

Page 10: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

Master they have reached Sri IV as you

forsee. Shall I send the scavangers?

No. Now is the time

for our move. But there’s

another player in this

game that I didn’t

expect.

I know the strangermaster, I’ve seen him in

Coruscant.

He revealed himself to

me by accident, the circunstances

of your last battle against the rebels

led him to that in order to save his

friends.

He saved them, and in

doing so showed himself to me.

I will deal with him.

Page 11: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

You’ve seen nothing.

You’ve run so fast that you

don’t even remember his face. None

of you could face him, I’m the

only one who can.

As darkness tries to prevail, the strongwill of some of us seeks to fight back,

to bring balance to the force.

You will lead a full

attack and meet them in battle.

It’s time for Darklighter and for Organa

Solo. The rest of them shall die, their

fate means very little to me.

Even the young jedi? The one called

Hazu?

Young light jedis

are always weak, those

who follow the light side need

time to grow powerfull. You’ll

have no problem

crushing him.

And what about their master?

Calm your fear pitful

creature, he will not interfere.

Now go, your role is too important,

play it well. And take the apprentices

with you, it’s time to test them.

Page 12: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

Since I understood my connection to the force I swore to bring peace

to the galaxy. I shall not failas the force is my ally.

I didn’t kown you were such a wiz at this repair stuff.

I grew up on the Falcon and

among all those Republican ships. I love this stuff.

Yeah, I believe it is. I’m

not very good at this, so I have all these droids to

help me.

That was some really impressive piloting you did in

Montagous. If it weren’t for you we would not

make it out alive.

Well, I have to earn my reputation,

right?

What.. what’s wrong ?

My dad was the best pilot I ever saw, and

my uncle was a pilot, and Chewie and my mother, I mean

it’s part of my life.

Page 13: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

I can’t help thinking how we failed Dirtran. He was younger than us,

he was our responsibility, my responsability.

Look, I’m not very good at this, but as

far as I’m concerned you have to stay alive. You’re this galaxy’s best chance of sucess. I mean,

who can be a leader if not you?

Probably lots of people that we

don’t know.

Ok, but who can lead right now?

Because we need to beat the Empire and bring peace

back to this galaxy, right?

Maybe you’re right, but what kind of a leader am I to

have people sacrificing themselves for me in

such a horrible way?

The important kind. Don’t make the kid’s death

a waste, he died because he belived you were worth

diyng for

He should’ve lived to become a great jedi, but instead he sacrificed

himself to save me and Stratus.

And you live this fight since the day you were born, you’ve

been trained by the best.

Damn, you’re the daughter of Han Solo

and Leia Organa, come on!

Page 14: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

I cannot tell you what happened there. I don’t want

to tell you.

I’m not asking that, I asked what’s happening to you.

I don’t know. I’m... really not

sure.

It’s a dangerous road you’re

taking.

And what do you know of it?!?

I know what you know. That’s dangerous

and that should not be followed.

The end… what end? I don’t need to wait to no

end to be able to do what I want. When did someone

helped me?

‘Cause there is nothing good in

the end, because you cannot help

anyone.

Where were all the good jedis when my brother fell, when

my mother died?

Page 15: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

A lot of people helped you, don’t be

ungrateful. But that’s not the point. We don’t do

what we do to get recognition.

And if I don’t want to? What if I want

power to make things my way? To make things right as I know they should be?

Why should I care?

Because you don’t have a choice. You’re

part of this, you’re part of the force, you, me, everyone else.

And you have the power to control it, to sense it and

to alter it at your own will.

Yes I am.

No, we do this because is the right thing

to do, and because we have the power to do so. To ensure the balance.

The choices you make holding such

a power has consequences. You cannot make them lightly, you cannot make them based

only in what you want. You’re not alone.

Page 16: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

What? They’re…

Here!

Damn! We’re under attack!

Hazu!

Page 17: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

What is wrong? Jaina? Are you

okay?

They’ve found us. We have

to get...

Stra...

Page 18: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

Stratus has always been my friend, ever since we met.

Hello brother.

Run Hazu, go help Jaina

and Lok, I’ll handle this bastard.

No. I’ll stay and help

you.

But somewhere along the way, we took different directions, we

went separate ways.

Page 19: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

How come they have so many

students?

I don’t know.

The darkside is powerfull brother, more than you can

imagine!

Lok!Are you alright?

I’m okay.

Where are you?

We’re surrounded. Can you hold your

position?

Yeah--

Page 20: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

--nothing I can’t handle.

Page 21: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

It was hard to see, hard to notice, but Dirtran made it all pretty clear to me.

Page 22: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

Lok! Are you all

right?

Yes! Thanks to Tarrjurrd!

What about you?

I’m ok.

Master? Can you hear

me?

I can hear you Jaina.

We could use some help

here,

What? We need you,

what can be more important?

Trust me child I’m helping you, that’s

all I can say. You can manage things there, concentrate.

But this won’t be a happy day.

Page 23: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

What? What’s that supposed

to mean? Master? Master?

Hazu? We are alone here.

Ry Argon...

I know.

We have to do this without

him.

Do you need hel...

Page 24: Star Wars An Age of Heroes 4

You cannot help anyone, not even yourself

jedi.
