*Chapter 21: The New Horizon*
The galaxy was reborn, and a new era of peace and prosperity began. The Rebel Alliance had won the war, and the Empire was no more. The galaxy was finally free from the tyranny of the Emperor and his minions.
Jax stood on the balcony of the new government's headquarters, looking out at the galaxy. He felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, but also a hint of sadness. The war was over, and his friends and comrades had made the ultimate sacrifice.
But Jax knew that their sacrifice would not be in vain. The Rebel Alliance would continue to fight for freedom and democracy, and the galaxy would be a better place because of it.
As he stood there, lost in thought, Lyra approached him. "Jax, we have a message from the outer rim," she said, her voice low and serious.
Jax's eyes narrowed. "What is it?"
Lyra hesitated, her eyes darting around the balcony. "It's a distress signal, Jax. A planet is under attack by a unknown force."
Jax's eyes locked onto Lyra's, his mind racing with possibilities. What was happening on the outer rim?
"Get Kael and the team," Jax said, his voice cold and steady. "We're going to investigate."
The crew of the Kestrel, the Rebel Alliance's flagship, sprang into action. They set course for the outer rim, their sensors scanning the horizon for any sign of danger.
As they approached the planet, Jax could see the destruction below. Buildings were burning, and ships were crashing to the ground.
"What is happening here?" Jax asked, his voice low and urgent.
Lyra's eyes were fixed on the sensors. "It's a invasion, Jax. A force of unknown origin is attacking the planet."
Jax's eyes narrowed. "We need to stop them."
The crew of the Kestrel sprang into action, engaging the enemy ships in a fierce battle. The outcome was far from certain, but Jax and his team were determined to defend the planet and its people.
The battle raged on, with the Kestrel and its crew fighting against the unknown enemy. The fate of the galaxy hung in the balance, and Jax knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in the Rebel Alliance's fight for freedom and democracy.
