Night had fallen over the Twi’lek village, but the people were far from resting. Merah Asli had wasted no time in organizing a defensive perimeter, working alongside the Twi’leks to prepare for the inevitable return of the assassin. Barricades lined the main paths, armed villagers stood ready with whatever weapons they had—some with old blaster rifles, others with melee weapons infused with stun charges. The Force-sensitive elders had gathered at the center, weaving protective energy around the village with their limited but trained connection to the Force.
Merah herself stood at the highest vantage point, overlooking the village’s main thoroughfare, her blaster pistol primed and ready. Despite the tension in her shoulders, she exhaled slowly, keeping her nerves in check.
