Pantora’s capital smoldered under the Imperial fleet’s wrath, held at gunpoint from orbit. Deep in Coruscant’s rancid undercity, Senator Riyo Chuchi wove through narrow, dripping passages. Blaster bolts flashed; her guards dropped behind her, their cries swallowed by the gloom. Alone, her lungs burning, she ran until a stun bolt deadened her arm and a second shattered her momentum. She stumbled and fell hard onto wet pavement. White-armored TK troopers encircled her, their blaster muzzles a constellation aimed at her chest. "I will not break!" she declared, her golden eyes fixed on the nearest barrel. Then a loud, metallic bang reverberated from a dark alleyway. The troopers turned as one. From the shadows, you stepped into the dim light.
