I'm afraid I must concur once again with Captain Reyolé, The Republic and the Jedi Order have set us a task for which we may not be equipped.

As I was finishing up my routine and feeling somewhat better for it, Commander Thedus Bimm, also clad in BDUs, walked into the exercise room. Catching sight of me, his blue-green speckled aura followed him as he strode toward where I was finishing up the last of my Shien practice katas. “Remind me never to come at you with a vibroblade,” he smirked. Snapping my saber to its belt hook, I ran a hand through my auburn hair. I had let grow out to nearly waist-length; braiding it before battle had become almost a ritual for me, allowing me to bring my focus fully onto the task to come. “You wouldn't get within two meters,” I retorted mildly, patting Bimm's shoulder. “So, what's the surprise?” “You know, ever since you got back from Coruscant after the fight at Rodia, it's been impossible to keep anything away from you,” he replied irritably, drawing a datapad from a pants pocket. “Yeah, I've got news. Fresh byte over the HoloNet from our last course correction.” I took the device from him, reading the snippet he had keyed up for me. As I did so, a familiar tingling sensation began to tickle at the base of my skull, and I began shaking my head in consternation. “Well, that solves one mystery,” I remarked under my breath. | |

Behind the scenes[]
The Last Full Measure is the fourth fan fiction work completed by Sean "Goodwood" Nash for the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. Inspired by the computer and video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, developed by BioWare, it was also intended to be a "more realistic" version of The Betrayal of Darth Revan, a supplementary adventure for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game: Saga Edition by Wizards of the Coast.
As he wrote, Nash shifted his focus more toward character development, particularly that of protagonists Laera Reyolé and Silas Dan'kre, their relationship, and their future. It also introduced a number of other characters that Nash hopes to bring back for future works. The work's title was inspired by The Last Full Measure, a novel of the American Civil War by Jeffrey Shaara. The first draft was completed on July 31, 2010, and the work was published on August 4 of that year. The followup novel, The Great Leap Forward, was released on December 30.
