Years pass, and her resentment simmers below the surface, just waiting for a vent. It erupts after she meets an old Corellan soldier who tells her how the war ended his version of how the war ended. Then through her work the girl, now a fully grown woman, discovers everything Astrid had done, including the way Astrid had killed her father. Enraged, she becomes determined to undo everything Astrid has achieved and return Corella to what she believes is its former glory.
