General Slade entered his quarters. A transmission had just arrived. He went through the encryption process and then jerked. He opened a channel to his Officer. Patch me through to (he looked down at the transmission) Jedi Master Marach Janos.

A moment passed and the officer replied "Sir, the signal is being jammed"

Slade Rose. "BLAST!!!!! Miracai, set a course to the Olumar system and come to my quarters"

Slade was speaking with Master Skywalker over the comm when Miracai entered. Slade finished the transmission then took his mask off."I informed Skywalker that Marach is walking into a trap. Here's what we have to do....

An hour later Slade returned to the bridge Miracai was no where to be seen...when asked Slade only said "I sent him on an errand, now follow your orders!!!"

Raxus Prime

Rann lay on his stomach, watching the GSF camp for the third night in a row.
Joe and Orlo slept under a makeshift alcove created by the wing of an abandoned Z-95 Headhunter.
The rain on Raxus Prime stung as it touched Rann's skin. The young Jedi Knight pulled the hood of his cloak over his head and continued to watch the GSF camp, waiting for the Sith Lord to show himself.

Rann sat up as the force rippled around him. The young Jedi Knight jumped to his feet and ignited his blade.
"GET UP!" Rann yelled as Joe and Orlo jumped to their feet, readying their weapons.

Rann and Joe stood, lightsabers ready as Orlo scanned the area through the scope of his custom blaster rifle.

A blaster bolt struck Joe in the back, just below the shoulder.
"SNIPER!" Orlo yelled.
"Tighten up, Rann." Orlo yelled as he and Rann stood on either side of the unconscious Joe.

Rann stretched out in the force, searching for the sniper.
"THERE!" Rann yelled, pointing out the sniper. Orlo opened fire on the sniper's position.

"I thought it was you. I had heard rumors of your abilities, Sordona. The great General, the apprentice of Skywalker. They say you're the best. I'll test that" A figure said as he approached, igniting his red blade...

Galidraan
Cyrus climbed into his fighter and activated the console. The cockpit closed and the ship lifted off the ground.
"General Stone, incoming GSF fighters." The gunner said as the ship became airborne.
"This dogfights going to begin earlier than we thought. Get the heavy armor on the ground toward the Capital building, and have the engineers get those AA guns up!" Cyrus said as he accelerated towards the oncoming GSF fighters...

Silent Night exited the hyperspace near the Trail. "This is GSF ship calling Transport Trail come in" Captain said. "You are carrying a cargo for us, prepare to be boarded" He continued. "Good, make sure to bring the commandos with you captain" Forn said. "We don't want any suprises, bring those younglings back" Forn continued.

Marach watched the skies. The sith destroyers were raining fire down onto the outpost. The shields were holding up nicely. He could see the landing craft coming down out of orbit...but there was something wrong. He felt it before he saw it....the were WAY more landing craft than the reports said.

"COMMANDER!!!! SET UP THE DEFENSES AROUND THE INNER SHIELDS!!! SET SQUADRENS 6 AND 12 ON THE LEFT FLANK!!!"

He muttered almost to himself. "I have a bad feeling about this"

The Black Moon and Moff Forn's fleet appeared next to the GSF fleet. "This is Moff Forn, i'm taking over the command of this invasion" Niclai said to the commlink. "Give me a full status report from all ships" he continued.

"Moff Forn, all ships have reported in and your armies are ready to began the landing" Captain Tummel said. "Good send in the Iron Wall squad" Niclai said. "Are you sure we can trus her?" Tummel asked. "She has been brainwashed, there is nothing to worry about" Forn said. "Just send them in" He continued. "but keep an close eye on her squad" Niclai said. "Yes sir!" Tummel replied.

Marach felt the ground shake as the massive AT-ATs started their slow march to the base. One good thing is that the builders of this outpost learned from the mistake made at Hoth and the shields were in a well fortified area. He peered through the binoculars at the first of several groups of walkers. He had some surprises set up....but he hadn't expected so many. This group he counted five...

"COMMANDER!!!"

"Yes sir?"

"Give me a squadren of your best men."

"Yessir."

Raxus Prime

Rann stepped to the side, his blade and the Sith Lord's blade both humming with power.
"you've searched for me, Sith. Now you've found me" Rann said, calmly as he stared into the eyes of the Sith.
"The Jedi seeks to fight?" The Sith Lord asked.
"Very well, perhaps a lesson in humility will serve you well, Jedi." as he charged toward Rann.

The young Jedi Knight waited and timed his swing as the Sith attacked.

The two sabers carved through the polluted air on Raxus Prime.


"Go, Orlo! This is your chance! Plant the Thorium charges on the reaper!" Rann yelled as he blocked the Sith's saber.

Rann looked into the eyes of the Sith Lord.
"The force is strong with you, Sordona. It almost blazes wildly. You seek vengeance, you seek the true power of the force. You surprise me" Darth Carnage said, pushing back on Rann's saber.

Rann ignored the Sith's words as he twirled his blade on his hand and lunged forward.

Orlo sprinted toward the Dark Reaper, looking down the barrel of his blaster rifle, firing as GSF stormtroopers attempted to repel him.

Orlo slid in the mud, firing as he approached the hull of the Dark Reaper.
The Dark Side was so powerful near the ancient Sith weapon, even Orlo could feel it.
Orlo attached the Thorium charges to the side and ran to a safe distance.

"Finish him off, Kid. This place is about to go up!" Orlo said to Rann via his comlink.

"Sir, report from Raxus Prime, it seems some rebel group is trying to sabotage the weapon" Tummel said. "Call our fighters back and notify the others that we are leaving" Moff Forn said. "Tell Ironwall squad to ready up" he continued. Tummel quickly informed the fighters to return back to the ship. "Last of the fighters are back, prepare for hyperspace!" Tummel yelled. Soon the starship was gone.


Aboard Black Moon near Raxus Prime

The Black Moon exited the hyperspace near Raxus Prime. "What is the location of the rebels?" Niclai asked. "Upload them to the Ironwall squad and send them in" Forn continued. "Yes, sir" Tummel said.

"Everybody board the shuttle!" Suni yelled to her squad. "Yes sir" Gil said and walked in. "So what is this all about Suni?" Evey asked. "There is some kind of rebel group causing havoc on the ground" Suni said. The pilot turned around "Whe have the coordinates buckle up" he said. "Okay this is it" Cando said when he sat down. The shuttle flew out of the hangar bay and towards the planet.

"There seems to be a ship at there" Pilot said to Suni. "Okay drops us there" She said and put her helmet on. The ramp opened. "Move move move!" Suni yelled while she ran out from the shuttle. The others followed behind her. "Secure the area!" She ordered. Cando and Evey moved towards the ship. "Clear!" Evey said. Suni looked the area around her. "Gil find yourself a sniping point and cover us." Suni said to her comlink. "Yes M'am" Gil said and ran towards the tiny hilltop. "Evey plant the tracking device on that ship, now" Suni said. "Cando come with me we are going search the area" Suni said and waved Cando to follow.

-At Port on Taanab-

Prologue
Evgeni felt worried for the first time in many years. Although Galactic Wars came and passed by, these wars never really bothered the spy. He kept to himself and continued on with his 'under-the-table' job. However, just until recently things changed. Not long ago, a Sith contingent headed by Lambda shuttles landed just outside of his establishment in a secluded isle on Bestine. ln a relatively short span of time, at least a platoon of stormtroopers disembarked and lined up around the homestead, while officers in garb came forward. Seeing no need (or foolish need) for trouble, Evgeni went outside to see what the soldiers wanted, and much to his dismay a job offer was presented. Evgeni however knew in his mind that the job offer was not at all offered, but demanded and forced upon - conveniently of course. He knew very well how the imperial types operated, so he found himself little option but to accept - payment was to be of his choice at least. His mission was simply stated, but far from a simple task. A disturbing encounter of Mandalorian soldiers were encountered in a Sith advance earlier, which growingly worried the GSF as a potential enemy was possibly in the making. Evgeni was given the task of finding out and providing esponiage on the source of this formation and its backing. All the information he was provided with was: "Follow the Perlemian Route, we are recieving strong Mandalorian IFF signals and ECM jamming not found anywhere but Mandalore itself. Clues point to 0nderon. Goodluck." So a new chapter started for Evgeni.


Evgeni just docked his modified Switchblade fighter on Taanab and was walking around it doing a routine inspection. The fighter was not made for long travel times or a hyperdrive installment, but he had done it. He had also packed on some extra armanent by adding a barbette below the cockpit with a dual light ion cannon. lts avionics suite was also highgraded. He could only think that all of these additions would be needed for his upcoming trial.....
Purchasing needed supplies and aviation fuel, Evgeni spent the night on the planet. At mornings break, he set off for 0nderon, not looking forward to what lay in store for him. He knew this sector of space very well, since he spent years of training on nearby Ambria, but the vastness of 0nderon would still be time consuming. Adding to the fact would be the target, Mandalorians. Evgeni had never met one, he had never even went through simulations on what to do with them - but he knew enough through lore. Mandalorians were honour driven, hardnosed soldiers with colder personalities than their dark faceplates. They were technically advanced, experts in all manners of weapons, and a band with no sense of humour. Not your common crowd, he thought. He remained immersed in thought as he engaged his hyperdrive and sat back.

-0ut of Jump 0ver 0nderon-
0ver 0nderon, he was not quite sure what to think. Communication equipment and transponders were not recieving military grade jamming or disruption at all, unlike what the Sith officers noted. Evgeni had to make a decision on what was best to do. He was not going to search every planet's surface, for he did not have the years required to do so - so he decided he would orbit every planet first in search of these signals, and then move to each planet's satelittes. He decided he could even use 0nderon's powerful ground based equipment to scan each of these worlds, probably the better decision. He would locate the starting point of his mission in no time, he thought. The Switchblade veered into a dive heading straight for the misty surface of 0nderon.

Aboard Silent Night
"What is the situation?" Gerod Forn asked. "It seems there are two jedis onboard" Leader of the commandos said trough the comlink. "Don't engage them , just continue towards the younglings" Gerod said.

Aboard Trail

The commandos advanced trough the ship towards the living quaters. "Stay sharp!" the leader said. "Sir, they are in here" one of the commandos said. "Good, take them back to the ship" Leader said. "We have 15 younglings, Admiral" Leader said to his comlink. "There should be 20, where are the rest of them?" Forn's voice said. "The jedis must have moved them" leader explained. "Just place the explosives and get back" Forn said. Few of the commandos took the younglings back to the shuttle while the leader and few others placed the explosives.

Galidraan

Kar ran trough the streets evading the bombardment. She was headed to the command post. Kar stopped to a street corner and looke around it seeing GSF troopd advancing towards the resistance positions. The was only two blocks away from the command post. She ran across the street and continued trough a narrow alley, she saw the command post ahead of her. "Colonel Keio, what is the situation?" Kar asked when she entered the building. "Captain Zamfir, good that you are here" Keio said. "The situation ain't good, they are over running our positions" Keio continued. "We can't hold much longer" One of the officers said. "We need to evacuate" Lieutenant Er'o said.
"Where is our air support?" Kar asked. "We haven't heard from them" Keio asked.
"What about the mandalorians?" Kar asked. "They haven't returned yet" one officer said. "I knew that they couldn't be trusted" Er'o said. "Try to contact their leader again" Kar said to the com officer. "Where are they?" Kar said to herself.
