She leaned her head back against her seat within the rough freighter, daring a few moments of rest. She had done what she could on Corellia. There were always more, always injured, but…but these days, more often, she would feel a tug, a whisper of the Force, guiding her onwards to another planet.
Balmorra.
Yes. Bedisa’s eyes flickered opened for a moment, and then closed with a soft sigh. She needed to take that rest while she could. There had been great injury wreaked on that planet by the Empire.

She trembled and turned within herself, binding the Force powers close about her and sinking deeper into that refuge. It was easy to both lose one’s self in the Force, and hide one’s presence as well. At least she had been discovering this of late. And now, she felt, she must hide deeper.
