bio warnings: mentions of war and death.

from birth, amilyn holdo was essentially destined for greatness. while most people don’t immediately know what they wish to do with their lives, that was certainly not the case for amilyn. she set a high ambition for herself early on, holding onto the hope that one day she would be a politician. with that position, she would be able to stand up against the injustice that she observed being carried out by the galactic empire. although like most people with a dream, she had to start small. she began her journey working in public service as a delegate to the imperial apprentice legislature program. it was during this time she became extremely close to leia organa, one of the few like-minded individuals around her.

in a world where you wish to climb the ranks, connections are everything. the fact that she managed to befriend the princess herself led to new doors being opened for amilyn. she quickly became a key player in the rebel alliance during the galactic civil war. she started as a civil minister but was able to prove that she was more than capable of becoming a martial commander and was granted the status of an officer of the alliance fleet. after the war against the empire was won, it was during this time that amilyn was able to settle down. although there was something in the back of her mind that told her that new darkness would arise in the future. she didn’t know if it would be during her lifetime, but she knew that evil still lurked in corners of the galaxy.

while she had no ambitions to marry or have what most would’ve deemed to be a conventional life, she started her own family after adopting two children that quickly became the light of her life. they served as a reminder of what she had fought so hard to protect: hope and light in the galaxy. but that momentary peace that everyone naively clung to was dashed when a new evil force rose in the galaxy. the first order. she was forced to leave her family behind after she was re-recruited by leia and was asked to serve as vice admiral of the resistance fleet. it was an honor that she couldn’t deny, especially since was left the highest-ranking officer in the resistance. a daunting premise, but still left her feeling a small bit of pride.

but her desire to protect what she loved most and fight for what was right ended up being holdo’s downfall. with the first order backing her crew into a corner, she did the one thing that she thought was right in that scenario. put her crew and people before herself. if she was going to die, she was going to make sure that the damage was minimalized and that the resistance would be able to carry on – even without her. she ended up forcing a lightspeed collision that allowed the remaining members of the resistance to escape. while she might have been leaving behind her children, she had hope in her final moments that her death would not be one that was in vain.

memory trigger: seeing the kyber crystal necklaces she gave her children.
