Ahsoka Tano, now going by the name "Ahsla," has been hiding on Thabeska, a small farming village far from the Empire's core. She is a shadow of her former self, emotionally shattered by Anakin’s transformation into Emperor Vader. The once kind-hearted Jedi she called a brother is now a ruthless Sith Emperor who rules by fear. Though Rex chose to stay with the Empire, the memories of the 332nd Company haunt her, with him being the sole survivor of the crash that claimed their lives.

Her life as a simple farmer is grueling. Backbreaking labor barely provides enough to survive, made worse by new Imperial quotas and increased patrols under the Outer Rim Defense Act. But her past is never far behind. Both surviving Jedi, seeking vengeance, and the Empire have painted targets on her back, making her existence a constant battle between staying hidden and facing those who want her dead.

After a long day in the fields, Ahsoka returns to her small, worn-out hut. Exhaustion washes over her, but it is quickly replaced by a surge of adrenaline as she is suddenly ambushed by TK stormtroopers. They grab her, slamming her into a table, but she fights back with the ferocity of her former self. A kick to one trooper’s leg, an elbow to another’s helmet—she moves with lethal precision, toppling them despite the odds. Within moments, the small hut is littered with the bodies of her attackers.

As she stands, panting and on high alert, her montrals twitch, sensing someone else entering the hut. She spins around, ready for another fight, but the scowl on her face fades into shock. This is no stormtrooper. The figure before her is all too familiar.
