the text are doubled

Maximus

I believe it has been suggested several times that he has an actively unremarkable face and presence.

Straven

I hope so, we'll see how this skilled author takes it, personally I'm hoping they grow enough 'brain' cells that they do survive. We'll see.

Straven

I'd say he'd try to avoid that end result, after all if that end comes about his group will also fall and the sith empire will rise instead. As one that heavily gutted its attempts to whittle and weaken both sides I don't doubt he'd be singled out for death.

EnderScroll

His role in the peace conference was probably mentioned but it sounds like Scout and Anakin zoned out.

He let Tann grab all the glory so she'd have a better shot at the big seat in the Senate (politics...) but anyone paying attention knows that win was the result of his leadership. As you say I don't think he really wants the limelight anyways so this is how he prefers it too. He'll definitely be on some powerful people's radar now if he wasn't before though. Notice how a lot of those business people who build the ships were coming to him first before voting a certain way? He is already de facto recognized as either a mover and shaker in his own right OR someone who has pull with those people.

Great chapter! I am really curious if the story will follow canon that Anakin will turn Darth Vader or will Rain try to prevent the Jedi downfall and rise of the Empire.

William M.

Ah, right! She pushed (successfully) to alter the campaign so there wouldn't be an invasion of her homeworld. She still cares about her parents you see.

Peter

In legends Gallia is well known as one of the Jedi’s strongest negotiators and diplomats. She plays such a role in the stark hyperspace war and the other skirmishes leading up to the clone wars

Andrew

I don’t recall the exact details, but has something to do with researching her family. The reason for the change is how the battle of Christophsis played out differently. Originally Ashoka would have met Anakin and Obiwan during the battle, but Rains interference caused a butterfly effect which resulted in Obiwan choosing her at the temple.

good chappie

Im sorry i must've missed what scouts secret is? Another question, what changed to make ashoka obiwans padawan instead of anakins?

Null

Thank you for the chapter

Parker Groseclose

Thanks for the chapter! Merry Christmas an dHappy New Year

Kana

I liked that they are keeping their theories about Rain a secret from the rest of the council. It's really smart and gives the Jedi some hope of surviving.

Arthrus

It's rather curious how things are all being set up for the Peace Conference on Onderon. Considering how he was he ultimate architect of the Confederate victory at Columex it's somewhat surprising that Rain still isn't even mentioned or known about as a key commander for the Confederacy. Then again, Rain probably prefers it that way as with others like Tann and Trench taking the credit for things, Rain is able to continue operating in relative obscurity, known only to a select few. After all, if Count Dooku and Darth Sidious are only aware that you're a competent commander with some political connections, and a whole lot of luck and backing from more well known figures like Tann, then you're less likely to get assassinated in the dark of the night. Still, I think Rain will have an interesting time on Onderon when he eventually meets with Plo Koon again, and runs into Anakin and Padme, as Anakin will be especially annoyed at Rain for having cost him so many times. But that's something to look forward to as Rain likely will have a conundrum to deal with, as Rain's foreknowledge is at least enough to know about Anakin's connection to Padme. Seeing the Jedi playing politics like this is certainly a novel sight. It's not often that they're portrayed being so politically savvy, caring about their PR and also knowing how to maneuver in order to get what they want politically. Then again, seeing how you're going with a mix of Legends and Disney canon, what with the mention of the New Sith Wars, I suppose it only makes sense as the Jedi have institutional knowledge of how to play politics with the Senate and now that they have been thrust into partly political roles it only makes sense that some of them are beginning to play the game in a way like this. Now that they're entering into politics, though, as their own sort of distinct side, I'm curious as to what their political end game is. So far it seems as if the Jedi are merely trying to tread water politically, keeping their heads above water but not having any concrete goals aside from keeping their images clean. They still seem to be in favor of the war, after all, or at least realize that the peace initiative will inevitably fail, which makes me wonder when they're going to realize that there are other options available to them politically. I think once the prisoner exchange occurs with Barriss that things will be stirred up in the Jedi Temple, as Barriss will offer a more unorthodox voice to the mix. Not traitorous or treacherous, but just counter to the prevailing mood at the moment, and with solid evidence to back herself up. With how Master Plo Koon and Master Saesee Tiin seem to be ready to reveal the big secret Rain told them, there's probably going to be a shakeup soon in the Order. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Bontieri is going to have a fit at being so close to what seems like a black hole of trouble magnets. Time to load up on lucky talismans, triple-check and idiot-proof all systems, throw every idiot out of space-lock and most certainly step out of the bed with the right foot forward. And if anyone manages to see a black cat walk across your spaceship lane, just call everything off and nuke the whole planet from orbit.

Destro

Ooh, nice

elsicava

The conversation's a secret, else the future arcs will be no fun ;)

Destro

I guess we won't be seeing the conversation between Rain, Bariss and Tann. Or will we, in the next chapters?

Cesar gonzalez

I really like the build up to the peace summit meeting where all our favorite characters will finally meet.

elsicava

Is that so? It's honestly been so long I can't remember. I'll do a quick check and rectify the issue if that's the case. Thanks.

Quentin Johnson

Great chapter! I’m definitely liking the perspectives from the republic’s side. Though my one question is — wasn’t two council members wiped out on Christophsis? (Koth & Mundi)

elsicava

I don't think her personality was ever elaborated on in legends. In a rare turn of events, most info on her comes from Disney Canon material. Apparently she believes information is worth more than a lightsaber in almost every conceivable scenario, so she became the unofficial spymaster and political liaison of the Jedi Order.
