With the Galactic Concordance signed putting the New Republic and what remained of the Galactic Empire in relative peace, Luke was now able to focus his efforts on rebuilding the Jedi Order and training the next generation of knights. At task that the young Jedi knew would be hard as he was now the only Jedi left in the galaxy. But before he could set off on his noble quest, he received a rerecording of what appeared to be a woman in armor that was similar to Boba Fett's threatening to reveal the truth about Luke and Leia's relationship with Vader to the public unless he met her in a dive bar on Level 1313 of Coruscant. A secret that was only known to a handful of people that Luke trusted and was not released to the general public in fear that it would damage Leia's political career. Not wanting Leia to worry, he decided to go off on his own to see what this woman wanted.
Luke arrived in the bar wearing his black Jedi garment and a cloak that hid most of his face. As he walked towards an empty booth, he could see criminals belonging to various races through out the galaxy carry out their business in this public establishment which reminded him of the cantina in Mos Eisley. After taking his seat, Luke began to keep an eye out for the armor clad woman that sent him this message.

Kaori was sitting in the shadows of the cantina keeping an eye out for Luke. She hated the fact that the empire was gone now along side her husband. She was already missing him dearly and hated being alone again. Though now as she saw a man cloaked in black walk in she had a feeling she wouldn't always be alone seeing her son once again.
She got up and started to slowly walk over to him. Once she got to him and sat down in front of him
"So you finally arrive skywalker. took you long enough."

Luke watched as a woman clad in armor walk towards him and he noticed that she was strong in the Force and couldn't help but get the feeling that there was something familiar about her other than the fact that she wore similar armor to Boba Fett. After sitting down in front of him the woman commented on how it took him long enough just to get here. "Sorry about the delay, I'm not too familiar with Croruscant and I have been busy with other things since the treaty was signed" apologized Luke.
"So, what do you know about me and Leia's relationship to Vader and what do you want exactly?" inquired the young Jedi Knight.

She smirked under her helmet. Quick to the point. Her eyes ran on him as she studied him more since the last time she had really seen him this close was when he was born. He noticed how much he looked like anakin and it made her miss him so much more.
She reached up and took off her helmet setting it aside so he could see what she looked like.
"Well I know that you and Leia are twins and vader or his real name being anakin skywalker is your father."
she looked him straight in the eye as she gave him the next info hoping he was smart to catch on
"Well Anakin or vader what ever you want to call him... Is my husband."

Luke watched as the woman took off her helmet revealing that she was a middle aged woman with brown hair and he couldn't help but notice that she bore some resemblance to his sister. He listened as she told him that she knew that Leia and Luke were twins and that Vader was her father which was the worst case scenario in his mind. Now did she want hush money to keep this secret quite or did she have other motives? After learning that she was Vader's husband, it immediately clicked in his mind that she was in fact his mother. "Are you my mother?" asked Luke.

She smiled alittle as she saw it click in his mind and she nodded. She was happy he figured it out who she was
"Yes luke i am. My name is Kaori Skywalker. I had you the day the empire rose but the jedi took you from me... I wanted to raise you so much but could never find you nor your sister."

"Well in the Jedi's defense, a Sith Lord did dismantle the Republic and turned it into an Empire that oppressed people. And we just happened to be the only two people in the galaxy that had a chance to defeat him" argued Luke. While he wasn't exactly happy to learn that he and his sister were taken away from their mother, he understood why they did what they did. And if they didn't, then either Luke or Leia would have taken their father's place at Palpatine's side once they were old enough.
"So, how did they manage to take us from you?" asked the young Jedi.

She sighed rubbing her head. She hated hearing about what her husband did. He was doing all of this for his family and other things. She looked up at him and started to explain what happened the day they were born
"While your father was out executing order 66 i went into labor... His old master and yoda found me in a lot of pain and took me to a medical droid. I had you two and only got to see you for a few minutes before they took you in my weaken state... I cried for weeks wanting you back... I went into a deep depression."
She was looking down now as tears started to fall down her face as she remembered that dreadful day

"oh..." was the only thing Luke said after he heard his mother told him that she cried for weeks after she had her children taken from her in a weakened state. As he watched his mother cry, he felt genuinely bad for her as she had only seen her children once and was robbed of the experience of raising them. "Well, we're here now and there is plenty of time for us to get to know each other" said Luke as he placed his right hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.
"Is there any questions that you wanted to ask me like where I grew up and who raised me?" asked Luke.

She looked up at him and nodded some. She was happy he was willing to talk and get to know her more.
"Lets go somewhere more private first."
She stood up grabbing her helmet and started to walk out of the cantina. She hated getting personal in a crowded place like that so she needed to get out of there

"Sounds good to me"said Luke before standing up and following her. The young knight figured that she would eventually ask if the rumors were true about Luke killing her husband and that information should not be heard by other people as of yet.

She walked to where she had her ship that her father bought her many years ago. She walked up the ramp and went to the front of the ship where she sat down. Once she made sure he was on she brought up the ramp and looked up at him
"so start from what all you can remember."

"Remember about what exactly? If it's about you and Anakin, then I have no memory of either of you and Leia believes that you died when you were young. She remembers you being very sad" explained Luke after she asked him what they remembered. In truth, Luke did find the question odd as it was almost impossible to remember memories you have developed as a child. "Were you still with Anakin after his turn to the darkside?" inquired Luke.

"what i meant from what you remember of yourself growing up. Sorry i didnt say that the right way."
She knew he would ask if she staid by her husband's side when he joined the dark side. she sighed looking down
" you wont be happy with my answer but yes. I loved him too much to leave him. Heck i was angry with the jedi myself and wanted revenge for what they did to me. i have killed a few jedi luke. I was an inquisitor for the emperor and vader."

"Well I was raised by Owen Lars and his wife Beru on a moisture farm on Tatooine. I was told that they were my aunt and uncle and they told me that you died during child birth and that Anakin was a navigator on a spice freighter. For the longest time, I have always wanted to leave that planet, especially when my friends began to leave and peruse my own dreams. What kept me from leaving was the fact that my uncle needed help on the farm and when they were killed by the Empire during a search for the droid that had the death star plans, there was nothing to keep me there anymore. So, I left with Ben Ken... I mean Obi-Wan Kenobi to deliver those plans to the rebel alliance" explained Luke. Unknown to him, Owen was actually Anakin's stepbrother after Owen's father married Anakin's mother.
"But what had you help with order 66 before we were taken from you?" asked Luke.
