“There has to be another way, even if I don’t know what it is yet.”

Stranded on a remote, isolated and hostile world after a catastrophic space battle between the Galactic Republic and the sinister Sith, Padawan Arlana Vos must navigate a war she was never meant to fight alone. Guided by compassion and disciplined by the Jedi Code, she seeks peace even among enemies... sometimes to her own peril.

Her training taught patience, but the reality demands something much different. . . . .

Yeah, Arlana here is thematically a mirror version of Sith Apprentice Kestra Avon. However instead of just swapping the nouns around and calling it a day, I did try and actually make the Padawan distinctly different from her Sith Acolyte counterpart. And yes, I am essentially adapting the old science fiction novel "Enemy Mine" by Barry B. Longyear from 1979, about two soldiers - one human and one alien - who find themselves stranded together on a hostile planet.

Deal with it.
