The Parliament
More than 007 years ago...
The Sith Soldiers kept their rifles trained on the door ahead of them. The Jedi had been attacking their operations with a relentless, borderline suicidal ferocity on the outskirts of Sith Space, constantly attacking every attempt to smuggle weaponry to sympathizers in enemy governments. She'd found their deep cover base somehow on an asteroid facility in Sith Space that she had done severe damage too, killing multiple HVT's and millions in military equipment, tanhe tracked their 'other' old, abandoned Castle on Vjun.. She had chosen to send another message to the Sith Empire herself.
It was really horrifically easy for her to do. She had not needed to go on some aggressive sword slashing mayhem (Cool as that was.). Nor had she needed some rediculously overpowered BFG. No. Her instruments had been theirs.
Upon her arrival, the deep cover soldiers and agents there quickly learned how she had so thoroughly destroyed the other base.
She could control their electronics with her mind. She could shut off their blasters. Or overload them if she overwhelmed the other's will.
The very security turrets and HK Assassin Droids they had built to protect them instantly turned on them with a wave of her hand. She had only used her lightsaber when someone had actually been brave or dumb enough to get close.
She had battered their personnel into submission nearly. The last remaining defenders had taken defenses in the experimental weapons lab in the highest tower of the castle.
The remaining Sith Warriors, SF Commandos, and facility officers had taken defensive positions at all great shooting spots in the lab. Where the hell were the reinforcements?!
A green blade punctured the locked down, depowered cortosis weave door. The det charges they had set up clicked off as a large hole was cut in the door. The remaining scientists finished arming the experimental sonic device they had been cooking up.
They spotted a glimpse of her in the hole she cut, clad in her silver and bronze power armor, head and face completely concealed by a visored helmet. They immediately opened fire.

She teleported behind the shooters, the blaster scattergun mounting and covering her right arm blasting four to chunks, flicking her hand and teleporting a vibroknife to her hand from one of the equipment belts on the first four kills, activating it, and teleporting it point downward onto the head of a heavy gunner, blasting the second and third away when she teleported behind them. Then she teleported on top of a man who had been firing his disruptor at her. The weight of her power armor crushed him as she landed on him, killing him instantly. Her crossguard saber was tossed into the chest of a scientist trying to fire a chaingun at her, then it whipped around the room of its own accord stabbing multiple people, blasterbolts pinged off her armor as she charged into people, slamming them around or shooting them.
A dying soldier managed to flip the switch to the sonic agitator...

Laertia collapsed in pain, the other soldiers ruthlessly firing on her, starting to blast apart her armor...
Present Day...
Laertia snapped up in her bed within her pink and polka dot colored private quarters. Her photos of the Marksmen were no longer on the shelf. Only photos of her and Moya and her rabbits.
She had volunteered as a diplomat to Foerost, bringing relief supplies for people devastated by slavery under the Sith to a small forest valley of Golden Apples.
She found a note left by her caretaker and her new sister. They had gone to the local Garages to scout for upgrade parts.They would be back later.
Moya had made sure to land them in an abandoned military base close to the minor city they had landed near, at least reachable on foot. The Sith had ditched it, you could tell by all the material they had left behind. They had siezed it, especially the weapons. Some of it was worth thousands of credits if broken down and resold properly.
Laertia had caught a few hours of rest to give her injured brain time to relax. But that nightmare of the day she had gotten her brain damage, or rather, the start of how, had ruined it. She decided to deliver the supplies herself to the valley. Get some fresh air. She even decided to take her pet rabbit Cortosis with her after throwing on her spiky biker leathers.
She had managed to shell out for high quality supplies... ne whole gold colored crate of concentrated Healing Stimulant, loaded onto a repulsorlift trolley.
Plucking the Lightsaber containing the painkilling crystal that gave the glossy, obsidian hilt its black cored, green aura blade, Laertia, her brown furred rabbit hopping faithfully by her side, scooted the trolley down the ramp, locked the vessel, and proceeded to Hysparrudi Valley on a simple foot path leading into the wildlands. There were no enemies...GA had effectively taken care of that so the roads were safe for the moment, free of brigands and the like.
Laertia felt a lightness in the Force, her rabbit keeping a steady, happy pace. Who knows what awaited her here?
As long as it distracted her from the horrible truth she had learned at Kar Shian, Laertia was perfectly happy to be lost in the breeze with her bunny and a lightsaber...
