Yesterday's Ghost

Yesterday's Ghost is a prequel story to the main Star Wars Armada stories. Chronologically it is the first story that takes place.

Plot
Pavaliin, newly hired as the Emperor's Senior Adviser, travels to a cantina on Coruscant with Kaelani, an Imperial officer under his direct command. After ordering her to make sure that his office is ready for his arrival, Pavaliin departs and meets up with Khaine Velosha, the Imperial Remnant's Chief Security Officer, inside of the cantina. The two head off to meet Mammon, the galaxy's largest information broker and leader of the Shadow Initiate. After dispatching Mammon's guards with the use of the force, the two men confront Mammon, who in turn traps the two with more guards.

Holding a ysalamir in the room to negate the use of further force attacks, Mammon begins to question the two as to what they are trying to accomplish. Pavaliin hands him a datapad containing information about two people that need to be switched over in every database across the galaxy, effectively changing their identities. The only way this is possible is to use Mammon, as he has access to most information in the galaxy and can alter the data. It is revealed that Pavaliin isn't who he appears to be, threatening Mammon should he not comply. The two men leave without further conflict, as Mammon is to scared to do anything more after finding out the truth behind the identity switch.

Arriving at his office sometime later, Pavaliin meets his secretary, Kyrsa Korjin, and begins to unpack his belongings. Sending her away, he sets up makeshift holo-meeting devices in his office. As he does, he notices a picture of a woman tucked away in his belongings. Looking into the picture, he has a flashback of the last time the two made love. After snapping back to reality, Pavaliin throws the picture away and starts the holo-meeting with several mysterious figures at unknown locations.
