The commander arrived at the hangar as a small shuttlepod's egress ramp began to lower, the haze of out-gassing partially occluding the form of the officer that descended it. He continued to march, as though on autopilot, toward the ramp, snapping to attention as the figure reached the deck. “Commander Onasi, it's good to see you again,” the woman said as she returned his salute. “Captain...Reyolé?” he replied hesitantly, not quite believing his eyes. “I thought you'd still be on Dantooine, never mind back in uniform and out here in the middle of nowhere.” Laera strode forward, embracing the man, letting the Force flow into him in an effort to buoy his spirits. Carth, unsure at first, returned the hug, his pained expression gradually subsiding as the two broke apart. “Thought you'd like to see a familiar face after what happened,” Laera said apologetically. “Carth, I'm so sorry for your loss.” | |

Behind the scenes[]
The novella's first draft was finished on June 8 2010. Like the rest of the Tales from the Corps Series, Saber Battalion attempts to meld as much as possible with pre-established canon. The major plot line was intended, in part, to establish a possible fanon chronicle of the canonical Second Battle of Iridonia, placing it just before the Republic's victory at Rodia.
