This story is based on one of the NPCs in a Star Wars RPG campaign that I've been running for the last year or so. I was giving this particular character's backstory some thought, and the idea for this story here popped into my mind.

If you're not that familiar with Star Wars (especially the Expanded Universe stuff that doesn't take place during the movies), I'd really recommend checking out Wookieepedia for reference (especially if you don't know what a Squib is, which if you're not a big Star Wars nerd, you probably don't).

Obviously, "Star Wars" and all related elements here belong to Lucasfilm, with the exception of the specific characters appearing herein.
