| - The widowed Rella looked out the palace from her room's window. She two familiar faces that she hadn't seen since her wedding. She smiled with delight and charged down the stairs to the ground level. She quickly opened the door to the courtyard and ran toward them. She gave Lesley a hug first, then she gave Jeremy a hug. After a minute of hugging both, she said," It's been so long." "Yes, too long," Lesley said. The oddness of before between Rella and Lesley was settled when her mother decided to tell each other about them being siblings before passing the crown to Rella. Han had recently rejoined the Jedi Order to be the Grand Jedi Master after Sihari Unumbi retired and moved to Naboo with his wife, Varis. Han looked almost exactly the same as the last encounter," I agree." "How's the job going?" Rella asked to Lesley. Lesley grew on to be Secretary of Space Command of the Republic. He became a legend of his own. "It's been more active then before, with the remnants and all," he replied. They both looked at Rella. Rella's smile soon turned to an emotionless face," What do you need?" "Your support," said Lesley," The republic is having a threat of a new emergence of the empire. We need your help to douse the fire before it spreads to republic space." "The Jedi Order can always use another hand," Jeremy said. Rella turned to her palace," If you haven't noticed, I am queen of Onderon. I cannot just give my crown to someone without a great explanation." "You do have an explanation though," said Jeremy. "Why don't you bring your son, Han IV into the picture?" asked Rella. "He's just a youngling, Rella, you know that, you will benefit more than a legion of republic starfighters," Jeremy turned to Lesley," No offense. You're the number one choice unanimously by the Jedi council." "I quit long ago when mother died. I... I can't leave now, with Turque's death," Rella said. "We understand the pain you went through with your husband, but you have been diplomatically inactive since that time. Rella, you need to start out new," said Lesley as he put his hands on her shoulders. She sighed," But whomever is going to eat at the prepared buffet if we leave now?" Lesley and Han smiled. The three, united again, walked into the palace.
