Her mother, Galell, was a medical employee at a local hospital. Her father, Moogen, and his brother, Nuzeem, worked at the spaceport. Her father was a pilot and her uncle a mechanic. Things were going well until the separatists began their occupation. Things became very difficult for her parents and uncle, but little Adrial was too young to really remember much of the occupation.“Oh to be young again like you little one.” Nuzeem lifted the little girl up into the air.“You funny Uncee Nuzz.” Adrial was having fun, as always, with her uncle. “Do again!”“Supper is just about ready you two.” Galell called from the kitchen. “And your dad should be home soon.”“Daddy!” The little girl was ecstatic with delight. “He bring me something?”Her mother looked at her and shook her head. “Not this time, sweetie. Things are different with the occupation...”Adrial’s face scrunched into a quizzical look. “What is oc-pa-shun?”But then came the liberation from the separatists. Although it was needed, it did not come without a price. Adrial's father was killed in a starship collision and her home world was decimated. Her mother and uncle made plans to leave their world for a better life. The three had found spots on a ship bound for Endor. Her mother and uncle were going to be miners for a while.Galell smiled at her daughter. “Now this is only going to be temporary. After Uncle Nuzeem and I have worked for a while, then we will move on to a better place.”Adrial looked at her mother with a questioning face. “Will there be other children there for me to play with.”Nuzeem picked up his niece. “Of course. Plenty of kids to play with.” He gets a mischievous air about himself. “Maybe we can find you a nice boyfriend.”The girl giggles. “Oh Uncle Nuzz. You know I’m too young for boys. Dad always says…” She gets a distant look and then starts sobbing.Galell gives Nuzeem one of those looks and he starts trying to comfort her.She never had traveled off-world before, let alone gone through hyperspace. It was all new to the young girl. During the time in hyperspace, Nuzeem tried to entertain Adrial as much as he could. Luckily she fell asleep fairly quickly and slept for most of the trip. Her uncle found it only mildly odd that she awoke mere moments before the ship came out of hyperspace. But then came the speaking from the cockpit."Wait a minute...this isn't right." The pilot said.Adrial got a distant look and then turned to her uncle. “The ship is in trouble.”Galell moves over to her daughter. “Why do you say that?”“I do not know, mother.” She turns to her mother. “I just have a feeling.”The ship is a whirlwind of activity as whispers run throughout of a computer problem. Then something about an asteroid, but that it was somehow diverted. But what was that scraping sound? Then talk of trying to land. More talk about getting through asteroids. Something about Jedi. That was a word that Adrial had heard in the past but she didn’t know what it meant. Soon there was more talk about landing and getting ready for a rough landing. Then came the impact.Adrial's head hurt. She opened her eyes, but all she saw was darkness. "Momma? Uncle Nuzz?"Galell answered her daughter's frightened calls. "Mother is here, Adrial. How are you?""My head hurts. But I think I'm OK. How is Uncle Nuzz?" There is fear in the young girl's voice."I do not know. It is too dark to see. Just wait for help to arrive." Galell's voice sounded reassuring, but she found herself wondering what would actually happen.Adrial and her mother had survived the crash. However, Nuzeem Strogg had not. He had been too near a power conduit that had shorted out. Things were tough going. There wasn't enough supplies on borad the ship to last very long, so other sources of food were required. The native wildlife was far from friendly and those who had survived the crash had other more deadly things to deal with. Within the first week, Adral lost the last of her family."Adrial! You all must not wonder off so far from the ship." Galell had found her daughter and two other children after searching for them for the better part of an hour. "You have been worrying us all. Nejik? Commall? You must all come with me."The little girl pleaded with her mother. "Awe, momma. Can't we play just a little longer? Commie is playing jedi and Nej is playing sith. I haven't decided which I want to be yet.""No! You can play back at..." A large carnivore appears as if from nowhere and begins attacking Galell. The three kids are terrified and cannot move.Adrial glances around for something to use as a weapon. She sees a rock high above on a nearby cliff. She wishes she could have that rock to throw at the beast. Then, as if by magic, the small rock comes flying toward little Adrial. Surprised, she ducks just before it would of hit her. However, the removal of the rock causes a rock slide that buries the beast and her mother under tons of rock and boulders. In saving her mother from the beast it appears that she caused the death of them both beneath the rock slide. She was now all alone...</blockquote>
