A new war was approaching.
Valery could feel it, whenever she meditated and allowed her mind to drift into the endless currents of the Force. Ever since her clash at the Wellspring with Darth Carnifex , both she and her husband had felt a rising tension that they were all too familiar with. Early investigations that followed as a result showed the Sith connecting with old strongholds in the core, left behind by Sith during the One Sith days. But out there, in the region of the ancient Sith Worlds and even the Tingel Arm, their activity was growing as well.
What were they preparing, and could it be stopped before another war ravaged the Galaxy? The Alliance had only just defeated the Brotherhood of the Maw and its New Sith Order, so many were combat-exhausted. A new enemy without that war exhaustion could be troubling for those who haven't yet recovered from the Second Great Hyperspace War. But Valery knew she couldn't just endlessly worry about it, and decided to do something instead. She had already been working with her husband, Kahlil Noble, to rally the Navy and hopefully the senate behind them, but there was always more to be done.
Today, she had contacted Lao-ta , a younger Jedi Knight who she wasn't familiar with yet. As one of the Order's leaders, Valery tried her best to know the Jedi she was wanting to lead, so when a mission popped up that fit her skillset, Valery invited her to the Council Chambers.
Soon enough, she heard the elevator coming up, and turned away from the large windows to greet the woman, as she made her appearance.
