Attack on a farming village

The Attack on a farming village was an Imperial attack on a civilian farming homestead that occured in the early years of the Reign of the Empire. An Inquisitor was called to the farm after rumor of a Jedi was brought to his attention. He burnt down the village and killed most of the town. Ahsoka Tano had been living in the town in secret as an agent of Bail Organa. She was forced to destroyed the Inquisitor and leave the town with the few surviving members who were evacuated from the town by Bail Organa.

## Prelude

##### Previous: ...

Following Order 66, Ahsoka Tano had made a contact with Bail Organa on Naboo during the Funeral of Padmé Amidala, where he gave her a long range communication device with which to contact Bail if she ever needed his aid. Since then, Ahsoka had fled into the galaxy in hiding using the name Ashla. As Ashla, Ahsoka moved through a farming town on Raada until it was descended upon by the Empire and destroyed. As a result she officially joined Bail Organa's resistance network, working as a Fulcrum intelligence agent.

##### Life on a Second Farm

Between missions for Bail Organa, Ahsoka continued to use the name Ashla and chose to settle down again on another farm world where she lived quietly amongst the civilians of the town. On one occasion during her stay on the planet, machinery carrying hay bales collapsed, threatening to crush one of the female farmers. Ahsoka used her force powers to clear the hay so that no harm came to the farmer. It was not unnoticed, the farmer seeing Ahsoka and realizing that she was a Jedi. Later the same day, Ahsoka was confronted by the farmer who announced that she had figured out Ahsoka's secret. Fearful of history repeating itself, Ahsoka feigned ignorance and begged that the farmer not say such things. Unknown to both of them, another member of the town had overheard their conversation. He elected to alert the Empire that a Jedi was living among them, hoping for a reward as a result. Ahsoka and the female farmer set out on the morning of the attack to deliver hay bales to Mon-Hella.

## Recount

##### The Inquisitor

In response to the call from the planet that a Jedi was living among imperial civilians, an Unidentified Inquisitor was sent to the planet in search of the rumored force user. He came alone to the planet, bringing the village into flames. He massacred a great portion of the town, leaving only an elderly member of the village along with the individual responsible for putting in a call to the Empire. He placed them as his prisoners in the center of the town where he hoped the compassion of the jedi would force them to reveal themselves to save the pair.

##### Ahsoka's Breaking Point

Ahsoka returned to the town from her sales across the planet to find the village in flames. She came down to the village, finding the Imperial Inquisitor standing over the two last surviving members of the town. Ahsoka revealed herself to the Imperial Agent, hoping to lure him away from his prey. The Inquisitor, not convinced raised his lightsaber to execute the individual who called him to the planet, stating that he had earnt his reward. Ahsoka used the force to push the individual aside and out of the way of the Inquisitor's lightsaber. Confirming that Ahsoka was a Jedi, the Inquisitor came to recognize Ahsoka, stating that she was supposed to be dead. He ignited his second blade and prepared to execute Ahsoka. He began his attack, throwing several swings at Ahsoka all of which she dodged. On his final swing Ahsoka caught the blade, ripping it from his grasp. She kicked out and spun, bringing the saber down across the Inquisitor's neck, killing him. The Inquisitor dropped down deceased. In this moment, Ahsoka made the decision to dedicate herself fully to Bail Organa's resistance network, knowing that for as long as she tried to hide within the citizens of the galaxy, conflict and death would arise, such as it had on the last two planets she had attempted to live on. Almost immediately following the death of the Inquisitor, Ahsoka informed the survivors that they would not be able to stay on the planet, as more Imperials would soon come. She contacted Bail Organa using the comm device he gave her at Amidala's funeral.

## Aftermath

##### Next: ...

Bail Organa came to the planet where he took in the last 3 surviving members of the village. He asked Ahsoka if she was ready to get back into the fight, having only wished to dedicate herself to act as an intelligence operative. She answered that she was ready.
