Competition: [MoHCS] To Cast a Phantom into the Future

Prompt:

Sometimes to know the future, others must delve deep into the past.

In the distant future, House Hoth's destiny rests upon a knife edge. A crisis has shaken the House to its core and the smallest push could see it devastated, perhaps obliterated from the Brotherhood's very records. Wracked with indecision, its leaders have yet to make their move, and one particular member of Hoth has sought the advise of those long past. Namely, your character. Despite having died years before this event, they have been summoned back into this world as a Force Ghost, in the desperate hope that their knowledge can turn the tide.

What crisis does Hoth face? How has the Brotherhood changed over the years? Who has sought you out? How long has it been since your own character died? Those are decisions to be left up to you. This is an opportunity to be creative about your answers, and to rework them as you see fit to craft any kind of future, from a dark dystonia to the Brotherhood on the verge of a new golden age.
