A pint to you for setting your tale in the Star Wars universe! 🍺 For a moment, I was thinking that Kallisha was Kalliska's husband's name but thankfully your great dialogue sorted that out.

The explanations for why they fled, the need for balance guided by the force and the Colonel's acknowledgement that he's but a cog in the wheel answered so many of the questions left from the opening with the style with your distinctive style! You carried on the underlying strain to the bonds of friendship from the beginning with an expert touch. Adding in that the use of the food produced could be used to feed those who were starving versus the strain such production would put on the planet portrayed the conflict to be steeped in shades of gray . Each side has their reasons for their choices and the decisions that they are standing by.

Kudos to you for creating a terrific way for the two to stall the prophecized fight and buy themselves time to find another planet to continue growing plants that would be free from the oppressive grip of the Empire.

A great entry from you and you've me wanting to read what will happen when the armada returns to find the two have disappeared again.
