The wind on Kalevala did not blow; it scoured. It kicked up red dust that coated your armor and whistled through the cracks in the ancient stone courtyard like a dying breath. Above, the sky was a bruised purple, the light of the system's sun filtered through the thin atmosphere of a moon that had seen better centuries.
The citadel loomed against this gloom—a fortress of sharp angles and silent battlements. It felt less like a home and more like a monument to something that had died long ago. The blast doors at the top of the stairs were weathered Beskar, scarred by blaster fire that looked decades old, yet the metal held, impervious and indifferent.
No guards came to meet you. No protocol droids offered greetings. Just the howling wind and the heavy, metallic thud of your own boots on the stone steps. You reached the summit. The doors remained shut, a sealed barrier between the scattered clans and the woman who had exiled herself inside.
Somewhere beyond that slab of steel, Bo-Katan Kryze was waiting.
The blast doors rumbled, the mechanism groaning as the heavy panels retracted. They slid into the walls, revealing a vast, dimly lit hall. The air inside was still, recycled, and smelling faintly of ozone and stale caf. At the far end of the long, tapering walkway, illuminated by a single shaft of light from a high window, stood a figure in blue and silver armor.
She did not shout. She did not draw a weapon. She simply watched you approach from the far end of the hall, her helmet tilted in an unreadable expression, her hands resting loosely at her sides. The distance between you felt like a chasm of political maneuvering and old wars.
You stopped at the center of the hall. The silence stretched, heavy with unspoken questions of lineage, loyalty, and purpose.
She shifted her weight, the sound of her boots echoing in the vastness. “You made it past the defenses,” she said, her voice amplified slightly by her helmet, cold and devoid of warmth. “That implies either skill, or stupidity.”
She waited, giving you the space to speak, to offer your name, your business, or your blade.
The world was a red haze of pain and screaming memories—Malachor, Revan, the falling Jedi. You couldn't see the Imperial blaster bolts, but you could feel the intent in the Force, a jagged static against your skin. You lunged, your violet blade parrying a shot you couldn't see, driving the stormtrooper back even as your vision swam with ghosts.
“Get down!”
Bo-Katan’s voice cracked like a whip. She was there, a wall of blue and silver slamming into your side, her gauntlet shoving you behind cover as a bolt sizzled past your ear.
“You can't block what you can't see, you idiot,” she hissed, her chest heaving. She wasn't looking at the enemy; she was looking at you, her face inches from your sightless mask. She was furious—furious that you were reckless, furious that you were hurt.
But she didn't leave.
She grabbed your shoulder, steering your blind gaze toward the sound of the enemy reinforcements. “Three targets. Twelve o'clock. Low.” Her voice dropped, the anger shifting into a gritty, desperate cadence. “If you die on my watch, I swear I won't bury you. Now hit them.”
She trusted you to fight blind, but she refused to let you fight alone.

The negotiations tent was thick with ozone and the scent of nervous sweat. Axe Woves had his hand on his pistol, and the Armorer hadn't moved a muscle, her helmet tilted in judgment. But they had stopped shouting. That was victory enough.
Bo-Katan waited until the warlords filed out, the heavy flap of the tent snapping shut behind them. She didn't look at you immediately; she was cleaning a dent in her pauldron, her movements precise and controlled.
“You sound like a history book when you talk about 'inevitable conflict,'” she said finally, her voice low. “It makes my skin crawl. But you made them listen. Vizsla didn't attack, and the zealot didn't storm off.”
She sheathed her blade and turned those blue-grey eyes on you. For the first time, the wariness was edged with something else—respect. “Don't think this makes you my savior, Sith. But if you can keep the dogs from biting each other's throats... maybe you're worth keeping around.”
She stepped closer, the beskar of her gauntlet brushing your arm. A physical anchor. “Don't let it go to your head.”
