Nahema, Lorana's new Sith name, has gone through a lot during her training under Empress Athena and her father. Her friends haven't given up hope that she will return but it does look bleak.



Even though their bond has kept her from completely turning, Nahema feels she can't hold on much longer to her Lorana spirit. During a recon mission to Bandomeer, Nahema and her personal clone guard, Casey (compared to a certain person, there is nothing wrong with his name!) were ambushed and she thought this was the end. Darth Ire came in and helps her out and stays during the rest of the mission.



Ire and Nahema find a little boy name LirTan during their last recon and immediately he comes along with them. After another attack on the group and almost losing LirTan, Nahema and Ire comes up with a plan and at the end, Nahema gains her first planet for the Empire. Relieved to be heading home, Nahema decides to adopt LirTan.



At home, Gus is overjoyed to see Nahema alive and takes in Casey and LirTan. He falls in love with LirTan and treats him as a son. Thinking this could be the life they both want to live and have, Gus proposes to Nahema.



With the war closing in, Nahema starts to rethink her position and wonders if she could ever live with herself if anything happens to her new family.
