Authoress's notes: This is the fourth part of the story of Jaina Solo's transformation into Imperial Prostitute SX-51472. To summarize the story so far. . .
After Jedi Knight Jaina Solo kills her twin brother, Darth Cadeus, she leaves the Galactic Alliance for the Empire, with her sometimes lover Jag Fel. Jag has just been made High Moff of the Galactic Empire and soon after arriving, Jaina agrees to go through Imperial basic training, with the plan to take command of the Imperial TIE-Fighter Corps upon graduation.
Instead, after a couple of weeks she puts in for transfer to the Imperial Prostitution Corp, or the ProCorps for short. There she learns absolute submission to the Empire, and becomes SX-51472, or "Seventy-Two" for short.
Later Seventy-Two helps recruit Syal Antilles into the ProCorps. Then she helps the Empire keep control of the Hapes Consortium, where Queen Tenel Ka has become a ProCorps trooper as well. Next she. . . well, read this story to find out what happens next. ;) Please read and enjoy all of my stories, and vote me a five! Also, please leave me feedback, public or via email.

Kyp Durron sat at his desk in frustration. He had just tried to contact Ta'tan'ia again, but she wasn't answering. He had even tried to contact her on the Imperial comlink, and she hadn't answered that either. Before he could think of something else, he received a HoloNet call. He glanced at the display, and saw that it was from the
Jade Shadow
.
"Hello, Jed—Master Skywalker," he corrected himself when Luke's hologram appeared instead of Ben's.
"Master Durron," Luke replied, obviously troubled. "We've discovered where Daala has Leia," he said. "She's in the statute in her reception area," he announced.
Kyp sat in stunned silence for a moment. He always thought there was something about Leia's statute. It seemed a bit. . . off from the others there. "I'll kill her," he said matter-of-factly. His hand dropped to his belt, and he felt the reassuring shape of his lightsaber.
"Please don't," Luke replied with a forced smile. "The Grand Master of the Jedi Order can't assassinate the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, no matter how much she deserves it."
"I know," Kyp replied with a sigh. "I wasn't really going to kill her."
"I know," Luke answered with a relieved smile. "I have proof that Daala orchestrated the whole thing. We can use that to keep her from trying to get the brainwashed Jedi out of the Temple, and to free Han, and to free Leia, and anything else we want her to do."
"Yeah, it'd probably cause too much unrest to get rid of her all together," Kyp mused. "And the Jedi Order can't be seen as choosing the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance."
Or overthrow the Chief of State too often
, Kyp added silently.
"Of course," Luke agreed. "I'll make Jag give up Master Ramis and the others, you keep Daala out of the Temple—and out of Jedi business."
"That won't be a problem, Master Skywalker," Kyp replied. "Between us, the Noghri and our YVH droids, we can more than handle her Mandos. I'll put the carbonite statute under surveillance too."
"Good. Wedge, Ben and I will be see Jag in a few hours. Tycho and Master Horn will be backing us up."
Suddenly, Kyp realized something. "Hey, I didn't know it was even possible to put someone in carbonite without the slab?" he asked.
Luke shook his head. "It seems to be something new that Daala paid to have invented and done," he replied. "Just for Leia, apparently."
Kyp sat silently for a moment. "I really wish I could kill her for this," he said again. "And a lot of other things," he added musingly.
Master Skywalker ended the comm call and Kyp tried—unsuccessfully—to contact Ta'tan'ia again with both her comlinks. He reached out with the Force, and felt her, safe but wary. Before he could do anything else, his received another comm call. This one was from Daala. Kyp ran through a Jedi calming exercise, and hit the accept button.
"Good evening, Your Excellency," he said politely once the connection was made.
"Master Durron, Chief Daala replied. "I've taken Jedi Ta'tan'ia into protective custody, she will remain under my care for the time being. I am forwarding you a list of Jedi. I want to see all of them in my office in one hour, understood?"
I'm holding Ta'tan'ia hostage
, Kyp mentally translated. He glanced at the names appearing on his screen. There were fourteen Jedi listed, all the ones who had been exposed to the Empire's brainwashing the longest. Ta'tan'ia was also listed, which somewhat was puzzling. "May I ask why Ta'tan'ia is in protective custody?" he asked her.
"Because she has an Imperial tracking device locked onto her wrist. I can keep her safer here," she replied.
"Um, she has a Galactic Alliance tracking device locked onto her as well," Kyp pointed out.
"That's different," Chief Daala replied. "She knew exactly what it was when she accepted my tracking collar."
"May I at least speak to Jedi Ta'tan'ia?" he asked her.
"I'm afraid not," she replied. "Apparently, the Empire is jamming her comlink. Now, I want the Jedi I listed in my office in—"there was a momentary pause—"fifty-seven minutes."
Kyp noticed she didn't mention Ta'tan'ia's hand-held comlink. He wasn't about to either. "I'm very sorry Your Excellency, but that won't be possible. I'd be very happy to stop by and safely escort Jedi Ta'tan'ia back to the Temple, though," he replied slyly.
"Master Durron, I've been informed that you are holding these Jedi against their wills. If they are not in my office in one hour then I will obtain a warrant for the Jedi Temple, and arrest anyone I believe is holding them," Chief Daala said icily.
Kyp sighed. He had wanted to simply delay until the Jedi were recovered from the brainwashing, but Daala was being more unreasonable than he had hoped. He just hoped that Daala didn't take her anger out on Ta'tan'ia. "Your Excellency, if you do, then the holojournalists will be alerted to the fact that you have former Chief of State Leia Organa Solo encased in carbonite in your reception area," he informed her calmly.
Kyp was somewhat pleased to hear a few moments of silence.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Master Durron," Chief Daala replied testily.
