Cady has to squint as they step out into the bright sunlight. The sky is the expected shade of blue, but then she sees the spaceport's enormous control tower.

It didn't quite seem real inside the Stalwart Loreek because I was just inside hallways and rooms, but this really is a galaxy far, far away! Amantes is described in L+L as a remote planet in the Outer Rim, a relatively unpopulated and lawless backwater, but megastructures like this are a common sight on almost every planet in the Star Wars setting!

"Pretty nice, isn't it?" Jax's grin is contagious. "The rest of Amantes is even nicer!"
"Jax." Something in the voice makes Cady tense up like she's getting lectured by a teacher. The arm around her side disappears as they both turn in unison.
The man standing in front of them is a taller, more rugged version of Jax, and Cady instantly knows who she's looking at.
"Dad!"
<span class="mu-i">
His name is Jett? The game just calls him Commander Ronan! And he doesn't have any Force Points? I suppose that's not too strange. After all, Star Wars stories are full of characters with Force abilities whose parents don't know anything about the Force. It's one of the main in-setting reasons why Force-sensitive children often leave their families to be raised by the Jedi Order.

"That's a fine greeting after ignoring my orders and going off on your own. If events had gone otherwise, someone could have been injured." Jett turns his attention toward Cady and her face gets hot.
Jax notices the man's attention move away from him and shifts to the other foot. "Dad... Father. This is-"
"Princess Cady Omega." He bows his head and looks at her from under the fringe of hair in front of his steely eyes. "I am Commander Ronan. I must apologize for not having an escort ready when you arrived at the edge of the system."
Cady's eyes dart back and forth between the two and she holds up both hands and waves them frantically. "No, no, I'm sorry I caused so much trouble for you!
<span class="mu-i">
Oh God, he's a DILF!

"I wasn't expecting your ship to arrive until tomorrow..." Jett lifts his head back up and looks at Jax. "...and I wasn't expecting my son to be aboard. Even if he can claim success over those pirates."
"You could hardly even call them pirates!" Jax's grin is so broad he's squinting. "Well, anyway, we should really be-"
Jett's gaze falls on Cady again. "I'd like you to come with me to the guard post."
<span class="mu-i">
I mean, mentally I'm older than Cady, but are we really ready for an age-gap relationship?
</span>
"I should show Cady to her dormitory before it gets dark!" Jax is undeterred.
Cady can't suppress a swallow when Jett Ronan's eyes look downward at her. "Princess Omega, if you would come with me."
>I really should hurry to the Jedi academy!
>I suppose I can spare a few minutes.
>Maybe I'll stop by later...
