Leia Organa, a mere nineteen years of age, sits as the Senator of one of the most essential and powerful planets in the Empire. One with a tremendous weight in the Republic of old; one with as significant a weight in the Empire now - perhaps greater. Many of their once allies have crumpled, yes, but so too have their enemies - so too has everyone. And yet Alderaan stands strong.
And those who would think that Senator Organa holds her position through nepotism, as one of the daughters of the Queen of Alderaan - well, it's easy to think that, right up until you speak to her.
Senator Organa is many things, but 'good at pretending to be insignificant' is not one of them.
Which makes it all the more unexpected when one of the Empress's own Inquisitors reports an uneasy pattern in the Force around her. Of all the people in the galaxy, Leia Organa should be the last one able to hide her Force sensitivity. She's been in a position of prominence since even before the Republic fell - in a greater one since, as the Imperial investigative services try to chip away at the layers of plausible deniability wrapped around her mother's treason. Of all the people in the galaxy, Leia Organa shouldn't be underestimateable. Shouldn't be someone you can dismiss, overlook, mentally mark as just another cog in the great machine. She draws respect -
She should have drawn suspicion.
