The ship simply known as the Millennium left hyperspace after escaping from Coruscant following an assault on the Jedi Temple. Millennium was commanded by Solin Malice, a former Jedi who sat on the Jedi Council turned Sith by his old friend Vulcan Gunner, who took a similar path to Solin and founded the Sith, the most dangerous form of Dark Jedi. As the ship exited hyperspace, none of the Sith on board noticed that it was being followed by a small ship transporting seven Jedi, two of whom had just been inducted into the Jedi Order.
Keira Port sat down at the meeting table in the ship, surrounded by four of her companions; Y'not Yorbn, a Wookie, and Bazila Trebreh, his human partner, had both just been named initiates in the Jedi Order by council member Elocin Trahkrik. Y'not and Bazila were piloting the ship and were listening to Keira's plan to take back her former master, Solin, from the clutches of the Sith, by listening to her with a force technique known as listening that they had just been taught by Keira.
"Here's what we're going to do," Keira explained. "We're going to sneak around the ship, placing explosives carefully around various areas on the ship. Once all of the explosives are set, we'll go to Solin and turn him back to our side. We are going to get back my former master."
She looked around at the her listeners; Sabe' Weinstein, Solin's old master; Ngema Resor, her own apprentice; Nvled Jear, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic who was trained in the way of the Jedi before he embarked on his political career; and Elocin Trahkrik, Jedi master of the council who had the keen ability to identify potential Jedi candidates, it was Elocin who had saw Ngema, Y'not and Bazila as possible Jedi candidates and thanks to her, all three were strong with the force and were all members of the Jedi Order. When none of them questioned her, Keira sat on the ground and began meditating, evidently waiting for the moment when they would land in the hanger of Solin's ship.
After a few minutes, Bazila and Y'not piloted the ship carrying the Jedi into an open hanger of the Millennium. Because the ship had a cloaking device, their landing went unnoticed by those on board the ship. Once they had quietly landed the ship, the party left the ship and Sabe' used the force to allow all of them to blend in with their environment, effectively making them invisible to the Dark Jedi. Quickly and stealthily, they made their way through the ship, placing explosives in strategic places throughout it; when they had Solin back on their side and were back on their ship, they would detonate the explosives and hopefully, would help eradicate a large number of the Dark Army. Once all their explosives were placed, Keira closed her eyes, centering herself in the force. She sensed that Solin was in his private chambers, alone and perfectly vulnerable to their arrival. They made their way to his chambers, using the force to sneak past all of the patrolling Sith and to find their way towards Solin's chambers. After sneaking past hundreds of guards, the party found themselves right outside Solin's chambers. Sabe' removed the force power that had kept them invisible and the Jedi grabbed their lightsabers.
"Wait," Keira sad, sounding anxious. "I think some of us should stay out her and keep guard. Chancellor Jear, Elocin, Y'not, and Bazila, I want all of you to stay out here and keep an eye out for any Sith making their way here. Sabe', Ngema and I will have the most influence on Solin so we'll go on ahead."
The other four remained in the hallway outside while Keira, Ngema, and Sabe' proceeded into Solin's private chambers. They entered the room and found Solin sitting down in the center of the room, his eyes closed; he was clearly meditating. All three of them ignited their lightsabers; Keira's icy blue, Sabe's a yellow blade like a sun, and Ngema's a bright magenta. When he heard their lightsabers ignite, Solin jumped up quickly and ignited his own blade; a blood red one that was connected to the same hilt that he had used when he was a Jedi.
"Well, well, well," he said, recognizing his intruders. "Welcome, my old friends. You have successfully come to your deaths."
With that, he leaped up towards his former Jedi comrades and engaged them in combat. Together, the three Jedi still weren't as fast or powerful as Solin, who was putting up a vicious attack. After fighting for a few moments, the Jedi suddenly leaped back and deactivated their lightsabers, but kept them held in their hands.
"Wait," Keira said to the approaching Solin. "Solin, this isn't you, I know it isn't. Use our force bond that you and I share. Use the one that you share with Sabe', your true master. Turn away from the Dark Side. Vulcan is not your master; you know he will betray you no matter how loyal you are to him. Come back to us, become a Jedi again. You know that it is the right thing to do."
When Keira finished speaking, Solin stopped walking towards them and dropped his lightsaber, deactivating it in the process. He fell to his knees and held his head down in shame as he spoke.
"I'm sorry, my friends. I didn't mean to turn on all of you and all that I stood for," he said, mostly to the floor. "Vulcan tortured me for a few days when he captured me. He convinced me that the life I was leading with the Jedi was a lie and that I could be so much more if I joined the Sith. I embraced my anger and hatred and fell to the Dark Side, foolishly, just like he did. I don't want to do it anymore though; I want to be a Jedi again. Can you forgive me and allow me back into the Order?"
"Yes, we can," Sabe' said. "As a fellow member of the mostly gone Jedi Council, I have the authority to allow back into the Order. You will also be given your old seat on the Council and this…"
He pulled out a green crystal from his utility belt. Solin stood up and took it from his former master. He said a quick thanks and the Jedi led him to the rest of the group.
Keira led them into the outer hallway where the rest of their party stood around, prepared to take out any Sith that crossed their path. They looked at Keira questioningly and when she nodded, they out let out sighs of relief, they knew that Solin was back on their side. Together, the group made their way back to the ship. When they were about halfway back, alarms starting blaring; it was evident that the Sith had figured out that Solin had gone missing. They sped up and ran towards the ship in the hanger where they found a group of about ten Sith waiting for them before the ship. When they saw the Sith standing there, they stopped and Solin stepped forward, pretending to still be their commander.
"Troops, get out of here," he barked in a commanding voice. "You're to search the ship for any intruders, these here with me have elected to join our cause. I'm taking them to Vulcan now, so step aside and search for the intruders!"
Without hesitation, the group of Sith abandoned their guarding of the ship and ran out of the hanger, igniting each of their lightsabers as they ran. Keira turned to Solin before they got on board.
"You realize that this ship is going to be destroyed don't you? We set bombs all around the ship and we are going to detonate them as soon as we take off," she said.
"Well, I figured it would be easier to get off this ship by telling them that you all had joined the Sith rather than having to fight them all. They may have been the top elite group that I worked with, but they mean nothing to me now that I am a Jedi once again." Solin replied.
With that, the group quickly boarded the ship. Y'not and Bazila ran to the cockpit while everyone else strapped themselves in their seats in the meeting room to prepare for takeoff. The ship's engines fired up and they quickly blasted out of the hanger of the Millennium. Once they were safely out of range of the Sith ship, Keira pulled out a device from her pocket and pressed a red button in the center of it. Behind them, the Millennium exploded in a fireball, larger than any explosion any of them had ever seen, bigger even than the explosion that had blown the doors of the Jedi Temple open. After a few moments, the flames cleared and where the Millennium had been previously, sat an empty space. Y'not and Bazila then turned the ship towards deep space and activated the hyperdrive, propelling all of them back to Coruscant...
