Kyle took a deep breath and let it out. He could start with the reasons why, or he could deal with the how. He just had to judge which she could deal with first. Finally he settled on the how. It wasn't pleasant, but at least it was easier than the why. "A special super charged laser fired from a battle station the size of a small moon. Anything more technical than that is beyond me I'm sorry. Grand Moff Tarkin destroyed Alderaan to try and get Princess Leia to tell him where the Alliance to Restore the Republic was hiding. It was her homeworld too. She still refused."

He turned away for a moment before locking eyes again with Reyna. "We did destroy the station, and that bastard with it."

Not that it had brought anyone back. They'd overthrown the Empire, and it still cost too much. Even though they'd saved so many other worlds it didn't lessen the tragedy. "I'm sorry."
