1. Ten Years

Prologue: Ten Years

Ten years had passed since the re-emergence of the Order of the Sith Lords on Naboo. In that time, the Gallifreyan Jedi Grand Master known as the Doctor had watched as the Republic began to crumble before his eyes. His old friend and one-time student, a Master by the name of Dooku, had separated himself from the Jedi Order, following the death of his former apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn, having grown tired of the endless ramblings of the Galactic Senate. After Dooku's departure, marking him as the twentieth of the Lost Twenty, numerous Galactic Senators followed in his footsteps, forming a small, but formidable faction known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This group was constantly at odds with the Republic, and Chancellor Palpatine was not helping very much, turning them away as soon as they broke ties with the Republic. If more Senators broke away, then the Jedi would have to act as leaders in a war where the Republic had no army. They hadn't needed one; wars had not been fought between the Republic and some other faction in almost four thousand years, so the Republic had disbanded its military after the Old Sith War. Now, the Doctor started thinking that the Republic might have regretted that decision. Palpatine certainly had, for he started trying to push the Military Creation Act through the Senate, which would legalize the creation of an army.

Always, the Doctor worried about the Sith, and how they would strike at the Jedi again. They had remained docile these past ten years, what with the death of the Sith Lord on Naboo, whose name, the Doctor learned eventually, was Darth Maul. But now, the Doctor got the suspicion that the Sith would use the imminent war between the Republic and the CIS to strike back.

The Council had suffered its own losses as well. Masters Yarael Poof and Yaddle had been killed on missions on Coruscant and Mawan, respectively. The Council had nominated Vurk Master Coleman Trebor and Togruta Master Shaak Ti to replace the revered Masters.

Anakin Skywalker had been training with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi for the past ten years, and though they were great friends, the Doctor got the inkling that Anakin did not like how Obi-Wan was teaching him. Anakin seemed too free-spirited for Obi-Wan, and because of this, the Doctor could also see the frustration from Obi-Wan as well. Anakin's progress was indeed promising, and the Doctor knew he was a very skilled Jedi, but this was exactly the problem; Anakin knew he was a skilled Jedi as well. This made him arrogant, and reckless, traits unbecoming of a Jedi. Although, the Doctor knew that he had once exhibited those traits as well. Anakin would grow out of them eventually as the Doctor did. The Doctor knew that Anakin would fulfill his destiny as the Chosen One, as Qui-Gon had predicted.

Or so he thought.

This is the story of the Doctor during the outbreak of the Clone Wars, and the beginning of the end for the Jedi Order.
