Canon
While searching for a home on Raada a girl Ahsoka's age come up to her. She says that no one live in the house she's looking at. Ahsoka asks if she has to pay for it, but the girl says that the woman who lived there before didn't. Ahsoka decides to settle in and the girl introduces herself as Kaeden. She asks if Ahsoka is there for the harvest, but Ahsoka isn't. She's just looking for a place to set up a shop where she can do repairs. Kaeden says that they can always use someone like that and asks if she has all of her stuff. Ahsoka answeres yes, and Kaeden awkwardly backs off. She promises to tell everyone else that Ahsoka can do repairs, and will have plenty of work by tomorrow. Ahsoka thanks her and Kaeden officially welcomes her to Raada before leaving.

The next day, Kaeden comes Ahsoka's home and brings a machine to fix. Ahsoka says that she can't fix it if she doesn't know what it is, but brings it inside anyway. Kaeden follows and explains that it's her broken Thrasher. Ahsoka looks it over, and assumes that it was the reason for her leg injury. She asks how it is, and Kaeden assumes she'll be okay to go back to work the next day. She promises to pay Ahsoka and throws her some rations, and explains they're just an easier way to track of who gets what. She asks if Ahsoka can fix the thresher, and Ahsoka says that she'll see what she can do if Kaeden tells her what went wrong. Kaeden tells the story, and Ahsoka says that she should be able to fix it, but they'll have to replace one of the parts. Kaeden asks if she can just fix the part instead, and Ahsoka says that she can try. She asks Kaeden how things work on Raada. She lies about leaving her tools on her ship, since she though it was safer, and Kaeden offers to let her and her sister make a lock to keep Ahsoka's house secure. Ahsoka jokes that that's what Kaeden does when she's not fighting machines, and Kaeden assures her that she's good enough to not lose a limb. She looks over Ahsoka's shoulder just as Ahsoka finishes the Thresher and gives it a quick test. Kaeden suggests that she pay Ahsoka in food at first, and think of other ways later. Ahoska asks if she can trade food for tools, but it's a no go. Ahsoka allows the deal, but they'll negotiate first next time. Kaeden takes her Thrasher and tells Ahsoka that she left a crate of rations outside. Ahsoka gathers the crate and Kaeden heads off.

Ahsoka joins Kaeden at Selda's, and is dragged to the back. Ahsoka asks if there's a quieter face, but Kaeden assures her that it'll be quieter in the back. They reach the table and Kaeden introduces her to everyone. Ahsoka introduces herself as Ashla, and starts to get to know everyone.

Kaeden assumes that Ahsoka ate in a lot of mess halls, but Ahsoka corrects her, that it was more eating when they could. Kaeden asks if she moves around a lot and Ahsoka confirms that she did so, but only for the past few years. Kaeden explains that they came to Raada when she and her sister were children, and started working when her parents died. She asks if Ahsoka traveled with her parents, but Ahsoka says she doesn't remember them well.

A few days later, Ahsoka is at Selda's when Kaeden arrives with her friends. Ahsoka follows them to the back and asks how they're day was, with the new Empire arriving on Raada. Ahsoka asks if Kaeden made any friends, but Kaeden tells her that none of the stormptroopers would talk to any of them.

Ahsoka enters Selda's and see's Kaeden and her friends. She realizes that they're planning something against the imperials and quickly ends it. She tells them that they need to be more careful, and it's a good idea to leave if they can. Kaeden point out that Ahsoka has a ship, and can leave whenever she wants. Ahsoka informs her that her ship has been "stolen". Kaeden is glad that Ahsoka is staying, believing that she's good in a tough situation. Ahsoka says that force is good for later, but for now they just need to figure out how to survive with the imperials are there. Kaeden says that they have to figure that out fast, since more time is getting added to their shifts.

Tibbola then enters the Cantina and starts to make trouble with the imperials there. They then pull a gun on him, and Ahsoka whispers to Kaeden and Miara not to look. When it's over, she asks if they're okay, just as Miara throws up. Miara asks how Ahsoka is so calm, but Kaeden tells her to leave her alone. Kaeden starts playing with the Crokin board, and Ahsoka notes that she actually has to hit her opponent. Kaeden asks if she means with blasters, and Ahsoka clarifies that the imperials want fast food. They need to slow down food production. Kaeden asks how, and Ahsoka suggests talking to Vantran and organizing with their crews. Kaeden likes that idea, and it won't break any of the imperial rules. Miara asks what Ahsoka will do, and she decides to not be the best mechanic. Kaeden says that they should head home, since there's a curfew and it's a bit of a walk. Ahsoka tells them to be safe and watches them as they leave.

Ahsoka returns to the cave where she left Miara and Kaeden, carrying some supplies. Kaeden asks why Ahsoka set up supplies in the cave's before the imperials got there, but Ahsoka just says that it was some old habits. They unpack the supplies, and Miara asks about the random scraps that Ahsoka collected. Ahsoka says that she just does that, and Kaeden says that their mom used to do that as well. She asks if Ahsoka's adoptive parents used to bicker, and Ahsoka says that they did. She decides that they need to get some rest, and realizes that they'll probably need to get medical cots out there. Kaeden suggests that Selda would know how, and goes to sleep.

Ahsoka sneaks into the imperial base camp and see's Kaeden and the other getting caught. She is able to cause a distraction with several bombs and tells everyone to follow her. Kaeden starts to fall behind and tells Ahsoka to leave, but Ahsoka refuses. They end up getting caught but Ahsoka uses the force to get away from them. Kaeden is shocked and is about to asks question, but Ahsoka just tells her to move. They reach the cave and all eyes are on her. Kaeden is the first to ask if she has more to share.
