Line 111:

*** Also, {{spoiler|Chalk's death}} from the same. A thirteen year old rape victim, fighting so that no one else has to go through that, {{spoiler|gets shot through the stomach and keeps shooting. No one notices her fatal wound until they're about to leave and she is in the process of ''actually dying''; she has to draw their attention to herself because she took the bullet without a sound.}}

** The ending of [[Outbound Flight]]. Lorana and Thrass die to save the last survivors, and [[The Greatest Story Never Told|no one ever knows what they did]].

** There's a quiet one in ''[[Star Wars ~~(Franchise)~~/Allegiance|Allegiance]]'', when the Emperor's Hand Mara Jade "buries" her companion, a smuggler she was working with and had promised a pardon to, out in space as he'd requested. He'd come to trust her.

** The end of the novelization of ''Revenge of the Sith''. Starting from "This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever," until the end.
