Then one day, he went off a journey to seek some past Jedi Temples for more info on the Force, but after 4 years, but he nay returned and the family assumed he had later deceased, even more so when a search party found his shuttle wreaked in a field. But Solar Flare prayed that Orion would one day return home.
