Can One Displaced Hero Save the Galaxy? (Ch 12-15)

Important: There is a reason chapter 15 is labeled 'tentative.' More details are below, but the TLDR version is that I want peoples opinions on if I should include the character involved. There will be an All Patrons poll on the topic up tomorrow. 

Alright! That first bit was to just grab the attention of people who might be tempted to skim the release post! For those more attentive to detail, first I'm going to say that this is an extra big release ;-). It came up to over 10,000 words, in point of fact! Part of that is that my muse is still very strong with this story. The rest is the fact that I really want to get the story rolling along toward its next phase, which means getting it through both Nar Shadda and their next stop. Nar Shadda in particular, I had well enough outlined in advance that it was relatively easy for me to just power through the whole visit. That said, there are three things to take note of. The first one is spoiler free, the second and third are not, so be careful reading farther!

1) For the first time, one of the chapters is from Aayla's perspective. This isn't going to happen all that often, but I think it adds a bit to the story to show her point of view on various topics. The first half of the Nar Shadda visit just so happened to be a really good fit for doing so. Love it or hate it, let me know what you think!

2) *Mild Spoiler* This is in regards to Chapter 15, which is labeled 'tentative' for a reason! Originally, I was not intending to add any additional My Hero Academy characters to this story. I generally dislike it when other authors keep trickling in more elements from the crossover. Particularly bad guys. I can say with absolute certainty that no such thing will happened here. In fact, it's highly unlikely that I would ever consider adding more than just the one new character proposed by the tentative Chapter 15...who was pointed out to me as an extremely useful possibility. 

Specifically, as you'll see in the 'tentative' Chapter 15, I'm considering bringing in Mei Hatsume. Bluntly put, Izuku and Co are going to need someone to handle a number of engineering projects going forward, and there simply aren't that many canon (even EU canon) engineers available in the time period they are currently in. That meant that, originally, I was going to have to create a major and persistent OC. Bringing in Mei, one of the only characters this version of Izuku was close to in the first place, would be a more fan-recognizable alternative to needing said OC. I did speak with a couple of people about the possibility (Vimesenthusiast, whose amazing Star Wars crossovers partly inspired Displaced Hero, was particularly helpful). But I want to get some feedback from the rest of you before I finalize bringing her in. She'd most likely be a major secondary character, rather than someone who actively travels with Izuku and Aayla, just for refence. I will be running an extra All Patrons poll regarding her inclusion/exclusion starting tomorrow. 

3) *Moderate Spoiler* For those of you who don't recognize what Aayla and Izuku discovered on Nar Shadda...I don't blame you, as it's from the Star Wars the Old Republic MMO ;-).  No, this does not mean they will have access to a full blown Star Forge at any point. But it will be a major boon to their potential manufacturing base later on in the story. It's a lot more limited than the Star Forge was, but still a massive boon, even if they haven't really realized how to make use of it yet and won't for a while.
