Galthra went into the jungle. I can only hope she stays there. Pelek Baw will be rebuilt. There is too much money in the thyssel trade for its epicenter to lie in ruins for long. The casualties—

Are recorded elsewhere. It is a staggering number.

No one on Haruun Kal will ever forget that night.

Kar Vastor also continues to recover from his wounds. His hands were saved, and he is under detention here in the Jedi Temple, where his power cannot sway his jailers.

He will not be immediately tried for the murder of Terrel Nakay; that will only be filed against him in the event of his acquittal on his initial charge. For the trial of Kar Vastor, we have revived a category of crime under which no one has been prosecuted in four thousand years: since the days of the Sith Wars.

Kar Vastor has been charged with crimes against civilization.

And Depa—

Depa will face the same charge.

Someday.

If she’s ever declared competent to stand trial.
