The Generals
Hera misses the Alliance briefing for the operation on the forest moon of Endor against the second Death Star, but Mon Mothma introduces her to the general leading the aerial assault. Hera is surprised to find it’s someone she knows – but less so when his version of how they met differs to her own.

Hera was running late.
The corridors of Home One, the headquarters of the Alliance High Command, were quiet as she rushed through them. White walls flashed past as she raced to the central meeting room. Other than the minimal crew overseeing the flagship itself, everyone was attending the briefing that she herself should have been in at that very moment were it not for a certain last-minute emergency.
The thing about children was that they were utterly unpredictable. Never mind that everything had been in place for her to leave on time; she had turned her back for all of thirty seconds, and Chopper and Jacen had somehow managed to turn the whole galley upside down.
Well, that was all Zeb’s problem now. Thank the goddess for extended family.
