Don't forget there is an ongoing poll for Why Was There No Truck?! regarding the first girl/girls to add to the story's pairing!

With that reminder out of the way, time for the first release of Displaced Hero this month! A somewhat outsized release at 12k words, at that! It covers the battles for both Kashyyyk and Onderon, along with a bit of downtime on Kashyyyk both before and after the battle. Including a small lemon ;-). Honestly, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, and it leaves things at a good point to transition away from direct battle for a bit, so that the story doesn't get overloaded with such.

As always, the new content is attached to the post in various formats! A quick reminder, I'm only updating the Master Files with the second release each month, in order to limit the mess that is my own Master File copies. So, for now, this is the only place to find the new chapters :-). Author's notes will follow in the comments when I have the time. Enjoy the latest release of 'Can One Displaced Hero Save a Galaxy?'!

P.S. The Aayla art is by AyyaSap. I sadly have never figured out who the artist is for the Sith piece. A shame, given how rare good art of Sith Pureblood characters is. Thanks to Ttran2323 and Robert Lemanski, I now know it is by Ganassa. A commission for Evelyn.

So this is just me commenting because I happen to read the patreon post but I'm reasonably certain that the artist for the red chick is Ganassa? At the very least, they have a very distinct drawing style which makes me assume that's one of their pieces

Chapter 148: A/N 1: So, in this chapter, we get Aayla's viewpoint on one of my own greatest annoyances in Star Wars. Specifically, that there seems to be two conflicting definitions of 'Dark', that extend across both canon and Legends. The 'Dark Side' is defined very explicitly in Lucas's original vision for Star Wars as being a perversion of the natural Force. In Legends, this is best shown in the Kotor/SWTOR games, I think, as they have the time to show it off. That the 'Dark Side' is COMMANDING the Force to bend to your will, rather than letting it guide you. On the flip side, however, there are numerous times in both canon and legends where LOCATIONS are depicted as 'Dark,' because of the what happened there. The remnants of Alderaan are one example, as are a dozen worlds that were tined 'Dark' by natural phenomena. As Aayla observed in this chapter, basically being a vector for my own annoyance, these two things REALLY ought to have different names to clarify the issue. They don't, unfortunately, leaving attempting to talk about the Dark or Light sides of the Force a murky nightmare. A/N 2: Sneaky, sneaky. Minefields and traps are hard to properly utilize in space combat, but with the right tools it CAN be done. I figured, given that the Wookiees are Hunters more than Warriors, they'd be fully onboard with planning a nasty trick like this, even if it meant bending a few truths a bit.

Chapter 149: A/N 1: One thing to highlight here is that 'auxiliary' fleet. It shows, or is intended to at least, something of the difference between how Palpatine would have run the war and how Bail and the High Command he set up are doing it instead. Where Palpatine was playing politics and chess master for both sides, Bail is being Pragmatic. Using all the means as his disposal to give his people what they need to stop or slow down the CIS offensive, buying time for the Republic industry to come fully online and make a difference. If that means pardons for a few thousands criminal scumbags? That sucks, but in exchange for the lives of billions or trillions the calculous is simple. A/N 2: Yes, one of those Belbullab-22s was the Soulless One. Grievous survived the battle, but he didn't make as grand an entrance as his masters would have hoped for... A/N 3: More than one person has encouraged me to include things from Iokath :-p. For the most part, I'm keeping the Super Weapons down to a dull roar. But a slightly nerfed Omni-cannon (used on the Gravestone in SWTOR) is somewhat within reason. A weapon that can knock out a handful of ships at a time...if they can perfect it. Right now it's a single-shot prototype that fried itself after firing once. A/N 4: Despite seemingly one-side victories, the League and Republic DID take loses in these fights. I thought about going into them in Chapter 150, but decided it didn't fit in with the celebrations. It's likely something I'll cover in the next release. These weren't entirely one-sided beat downs. Particularly the Kashyyyk battle.

Chapter 150: A/N 1: I have to admit, Kashyyyk is one of my favorite worlds in Star Wars, and the Wookiees one of my favorite races. They are such a neat mix of talented with tech yet somewhat primal. Of course, the fact they might as well all be nudists means I couldn't resist throwing in at least a small lemon on the planet. Particularly as doing so fit so well with the celebratory theme of the chapter. A/N 2: Two months have passed since the start of the Clone Wars (Izuku was tied up for multiple weeks with the Geonosis campaign, if you're wondering where all the time went). That means the Republic FINALLY has its shit together enough to start talking about alliance...and other subjects. Not all of which is going to make for pleasant debate. Looking forward to the future, trying to navigate a path that doesn't end with an eventual conflict between the League and Republic, assuming the Republic survives, isn't quite a simple process. Historically, the Republic hasn't done a great with the concept of 'peers.'

Huh, you're right in that it does look like a lot of their work, but I can't find the specific piece in any of their galleries so far. I'll add it as a tentative 'possible' at least, thanks! I've been trying to track that one down for a while!

Robert Lemanski

It's not in any of Ganassa's galleries because it was a commission piece. You can find it on H-F in the user Evelyn's profile. It's of their SWTOR character named Naeli.

Delphinous

i'll bet that half of zavra's suggestion of Izuku becoming Emperor is just because she's imagining that he can justify a bigger Harem then.

Delphinous

being fair about the whole 'alderaan being dark' thing, it's worth pointing out that he death start was powered by kyber crystals, it was a literal force weapon, so it was, in fact, the force being twisted to cause death, destruction, and suffering. i'd say that there would have been some dark side taint from that

DarkestCalling

Idk if you can counter battle meditation that way can you ? I thought it's was mostly break Thier concentration by jolting them out of it either by attacking forcing them to defend or something happening along those lines Counter battle meditation someone using the same skill to counter I think there are a few techniques that can achieve something similar but not just mentally pushing against it especially someone I'm almost positive can't be as well connected or as strong in the force Honestly just feels like your really trying to hammer it into a useful tool but not the game changer it's described as in cannon or lore especially with how strong and connected izuku is supposed to be

Novus's Fanfiction Works

...did you completely miss the part where Izuku was faking it? Zavra intercepted the attempt to disrupt his battle meditation.

DarkestCalling

She had tried to disrupt his Battle Meditation, and had partially succeeded, managing to at least limit the amount of it he could use. At least, she thought she had. In reality, Zavra had shielded him from most of her efforts and he’d simply pulled back on the amount used as another way to fool her into doing what he wanted. Even if he purposefully pulled back to lull her Into his plans it still mentions she had to shield him which why should she need to I doubt shes strong enough to even be able to disrupt him I doubt she has a skill capable of it since I doubt palpatine let he be trained in a skill the can disrupt his own skill in it Even if it was part of the deception or whatever the way it's written still makes it sound like it was a viable strategy a different dark siders can use in the future When as far as I know it requires an actual skill or counter battle meditation it's not just meditate and push your will against it or something as far as I know Can't really say majority of times you've shown it as being more then a helpful tool in most cases except maybe the dark hutt battle ?

Novus's Fanfiction Works

All someone would need to do to impact battle meditation is launch a mental assault on the user. Something which the Dark Side pretty much specializes in.

DarkestCalling

Yes because no visual long range mental attacks are achievable by just any dark side users and it being used successfully against actual sith lords with large forces of sith and dark siders like revan and none of them thought of that And its not like a direct connection wouldnt be stronger then whatever the dark acolyte could do This is a technique that won battles against vastly superior forces and every time you use it just feels like its was a little better of an outcome even accounting for everything else Idk just everytime I seem to read about how izuku using it feels like a watered down version of everything I've read from lore or Canon

Novus's Fanfiction Works

...Luke, with basically zero training, could pick up Vader mentally at intersteller ranges. Pretty much any Jedi or Sith can do mental attacks at fleet ranges. Also, I have no idea where you're getting your view on Battle Meditation. It's a buff for your allies and a debuff for your enemies. It increases and decreases coordination, nothing more. It doesn't allow truly massive fleet disparities. If it did, the Rebel Alliance would have died almost instantly at Endor. They were outmatched AND facing Battle Meditation.

DarkestCalling

Luke and Vader are father son so they have a connection and also some of the strongest force users large difference in levels there And yea buff allies debuff enemies increasing coordination as in 1000 enemies and 1000 gunners and they only needed 1 shot to kill them they would all shoot the 1000 different ones and not have overlap cause they would all know an ally was shooting which ones and its also supposed to increase thier skills/abilities to the best of thier ability it wouldnt turn a grunt soldier into a sharpshooter but he would be having some of his best accuracy What about battle of rakta prime the hyperspace war and didnt they win the endor war because Vader threw Palpatine down the shaft forcibly breaking the connection causing a almost backlash where the empire should have still been able to win but the sudden lose threw panic discord and low morale allowing the rebels to take advantage and pull a win

Tsorov

So Grievous escaped again? Seems to be in line for him to always have a retreat option open. And since he hasn't lost that much organic personal, only droids, he will probably be back with a new fleet in like a week. Sev'rence Tann dying so easily is somewhat of a surprise, considering how other Fanfictions I've read placed her strategic abilities. But Superweapons do superweapon too.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Yep. Grievous has a pretty well established pattern of managing that, and he's a little too important overall to just kill off in his first battle. Tann, on the other hand, I actually picked out to kill off specifically because of how she tends to feature in a lot of other Fanfiction. Canonically, she's not actually that special, or even all that present, and I didn't really want to retread the same ground with her a lot of other fanfictions already have. So, I used her as a recognizable name, one that was believable to appear as a Fleet commander, but who I could do away with. BOTH fleet commanders escaping would have been a bit too 'plot armor' heavy.
