We have to hide you. He will come for you, Padmé, and through you will find his children. That cannot happen. He will corrupt them. The dark side is seductive, and would be too much for them to resist. They must never know their heritage. Not until the time is right, at least.
—Obi-Wan Kenobi to Padmé Skywalker
Heritage is a stand-alone alternate universe story written by Aurrasingrules101. Set within the New Jedi Order era, the novel introduces Padmé Amidala into the New Jedi Order time period.
Preface[]
Padmé Skywalker did not die after the birth of her children. Instead, she escapes into hiding, only to be uncovered over forty years later at the onset of war in the New Republic. Her daughter, Leia, has been kidnapped by a group of Force-sensitive invaders called the Baci. While the Solo/Skywalker clan attempt rescue, Padmé is found by her granddaughter Jaina on the backwater world of Nirauan.
As war engulfs the galaxy and the hope of ever retrieving Leia grows thinner by the day, they all must come to terms with some very harsh realities, and have the limits of their love tested to the max.
