Dark Tide: Ruin
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo's second son, Anakin was born on
Nespis VIII about a year and a half after his siblings, Jaina and Jacen. He
was named for this maternal grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. He was
incredibly strong in the Force, especially for a child so young. By the time
he was three, Anakin's gifts had become obvious to his uncle, Luke
Skywalker. By the time he was seven, he had demonstrated a remarkable
ability to make anything mechanical work, regardless of whether he
understands the device's purpose or its components. His siblings, Jacen
and Jaina, have discovered his abilities, and use them to bypass locks and
security cameras. They even tried once to have Anakin create a working
droid from various scrap components. Unfortunately, the primary
motivator Jacen found was faulty, and the droid blew up. Anakin figured
prominently in the discovery and activation of some of the Corellian
planetary repulsors during the reign of Thrackan Sal-Solo on Corellia. He
continued to show great aptitude with the Force, and when his siblings
returned from their initial studies on Yavin 4, Anakin was allowed to go as
well. He was eleven at the time, and was immediately befriended by Tahiri
Veila. Together, they discovered the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of
the Woolamander and the existence of the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. After
a great deal of thought and meditation on the Globe, Anakin and Tahiri
were able to penetrate it and release the Massassi spirits trapped within.
He returned to Yavin 4 following the attack by the Shadow Academy,
and helped rebuild the Great Temple by viewing its rubble as a huge
puzzle to be solved. Anakin, as well as his brother Jacen, trained directly
with Luke, when Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the
pre-Empire format of teaching. Both brothers had different ideas on what
the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed with Luke, that the
formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the vigilantes under
control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects of the Force,
while Anakin held to the physical uses of the Force. They clashed often,
claiming their intense lightsaber duels were simply training. When the
Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Anakin was forced to act on his
beliefs, and doggedly protected Mara Jade Skywalker on Dantooine.
After saving her, Anakin learned that he was needed at Centerpoint
Station. Archaeologists and engineers at the Station had been trying to
reactivate it, but discovered that the Station had attuned itself to Anakin's
fingerprints, brainwaves, and DNA. It wouldn't activate without him. The
New Republic hoped to use the repulsors onboard the massive station to
wipe out the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, but Anakin refused to be the wielder of
such power. Thackan Sal-Solo took the shot instead, but only succeeded
in destroying much of the New Republic's fleet at Fondor, including most
of the Hapan fleet which supported it. Thrackan was portrayed by the
media as a hero, while the Jedi Knights were vilified for their lack of
action. In the wake of the Battle of Fondor, Anakin's training was taken
up by Luke himself, in an effort to refocus Anakin's powers. Anakin grew
stronger and more respected among the Jedi, and was eventually chosen
to lead the strike team which was dispatched to Myrkr to eliminate the
voxyn queen. However, once aboard the Baanu Rass, Anakin took an
amphistaff wound to the abdomen, and found himself dying. However, his
connection to the Force remained strong, and he gathered energy around
him like a magnet. Anakin became glowing extension of the Force itself,
almost invincible as he cut down Yuuzhan Vong in order to get his friends
closer to the voxyn queen. However, the intense energy quickly consumed
him, and Anakin died shortly after ensuring that Tahiri was safe. His
physical form suddenly radiated an intense light shortly before he died.
Anakin's body was recovered by the Jedi survived the assault in the
Baanu Rass, in an effort to bury him within the Republic. Anakin was laid
to rest on Hapes, where his physical form disintegrated into thousands of
motes of firelight when his bier was lit.
