Chapter 1: Prologue

Clone Commander CC-088 was restless. He just sent out a team of SBH Commandos to retrieve a strange artifact but soon received Intel that the artifact was known to mysterious send people to places where they would not be found. Republic insurgents held the artifact, traitors. They began activities when the Separatist threat had been extinguished. These insurgents were slowly causing large threats in a time so close to peace. He tried to contact them but their radios were down. CC-088 was starting to grow restless as he knows that soon they will find the artifact. He only prays that it doesn't activate.

CC-088: "Shadow…Stay vigilant and safe…."

-To the SBH Commandos-

"Scanner says we've got hostiles up ahead," Shadow warned. "But stay alert, we are in the dark here."

"Yes sir!" his team replied.

Shadow knew he picked the right team for this op. All of his teammates well trained men that have given their lives to be here and do what they do. He looked at his teammates. His second in command Jared his most trusted advisor and skilled flyer. There was also GT and TJ both brothers and very good sharp shooters. Then there was Titus the new guy to the SBH squad. SBH always give its new members a little "Initiation" for the first week or so to get him used to the new duties he has. But artifact retrieval wasn't a common thing for all of them and they were getting bored with no contact ever since they landed.

They had no idea which planet they were on. It was a planet that wasn't on any Republic star chart. The only way the intelligence committee found out about it was when the Venator-Class Star Destroyer Altima took down an insurrectionist transport. Through "persuasive" interrogation, one of the crewmembers revealed an operation on an unknown planet.

The Clone Wars was over, the Separatist Council was destroyed, and the Jedi killed the previous Chancellor Palpatine. It turns out he was a Sith. After the war, the "Separatists" (Now just a form of insurrection), managed to launch a massive attack and land troops on Coruscant. Half of the planet belongs to them, but Coruscant wasn't Shadow's biggest problem right now.

Their stealth LAAT dropped Shadow and his team about 10 clicks south of their target. They wanted to keep the element of surprise. After hours of marching down a barren, red wasteland, Shadow led the team to a small hill. As soon as they got to the top, they were all flat on their stomachs. Shadow pulled out his microbinocluars.

"I hope you all are on your game today boys," He said. "Four guards, stationed at the entrance. Heavily armed. E9S's, spread evenly."

"What's the plan?" Jared asked.

"Same as always." Shadow motioned.

Same as always. TJ took a sniping position at the ridge while Shadow took the others to the side. Shadow halted his team at a boulder a few meters to the right of the cave.

Shadow gave the signal and all four targets dropped one at a time with no idea what hit them. Immediately, the four cleared the entrance.

"Shots were a bit off to the left brother." GT chuckled as he eyed one of the fallen insurrectionists.

"It's the damn scope," TJ defended on the squad commlink channel. "I don't know how you can properly aim with it. It's too reflective."

"Don't raise your contrast all the way up," Jared advised. "Keep it in the middle."

"Focus," Shadow ended the conversation. "Squad, form up along the sides."

Jared led TJ and GT down the right side of the tunnel and Shadow led Titus down the left. A few seconds passed and they encountered two guards, armed with E5s. Just before Titus gunned them down Shadow quickly stopped him.

"Don't jump the gun," He ordered as he clipped his DC-17M to his belt. "Quick and clean."

Titus followed suit as Shadow nodded to Jared to cover a retreat if neccessary. They all knew what they were doing. The four of them (Shadow, Jared, GT and TJ) have been together for a long time. Shadow crept up behind one and covered his mouth before dragging him back and snapping his neck. Shadow looked up to see that Titus had already dispatched the other guard. Good. He's getting it. Shadow thought. After several more meters down the hallway, they reached an entrance to a large cavern it was heavily armed. Shadow didn't have to switch to nightvision due to the light coming from inside the cavern.

There was no chance for silence now. As soon as they rushed the entrance, they would lose the shadows, along with any form of surprise. Shadow called out the insurrectionist armnants to his squad.

"Eleven men. Four E9Ss, six E5s and an E-Web gunner."

"Entrance is hot," Jared said in surprised. "Intel said minimal resistance."

"Steer clear of the E-Web and there will be minimal resistance." Shadow chuckled as he snapped on his anti-armor attachment.

Shadow took the first shot, letting loose a grenade from his launcher into four guards. Three targets down, one injured. He had taken out one of the E9S gunners. Quickly the tunnel filled with fire as the E-Web gunner with the combined firepower of the E9Ss blew off chunks of rock.

Shadow switched his 17M back into assault rifle mode and started firing 3 round bursts.

"Corridor mawl!" Shadow called out a strategy.

"I hate this one." Jared sighed as he rolled forward exposing himself to the E-Web gunner. The gunner took the bait, leaving a clear shot for GT, already taking aim with his 17M's sniper attachment. With a satisfying drop of a body, the gunner dropped dead. Shadow noticed Jared still in the open, dodging like crazy and fired another grenade at the guards. The remaining two fell back inside the cavern and a large door slid shut behind them.

"Well that's just rude for them to slam a door in our faces isn't it?" Jared joked. "Titus, you wanna show what the Republic does to closed doors?" he ordered.

"With pleasure sir." Titus responded, getting the memo. He quickly moved up to the large metal door and placed his hand against it, trying to guess its thickness. He placed thermal tape in a foot by foot square in the center of the door, then placing a thermal grenade in the center. He must have set the charge to full because the floor rocked below Shadow's feet when he hit the detonator.

Shadow took point. He dived through the opening, shooting down 5 guards. They were still stunned from the blast. Shadow shot left and right. By the time the others got in the room, there were only 3 guards left, along with a handful of technicians who were executed on spot. Shadow and his team were there for retrieval, not information.

"Clear!" Each of his squadmates called out as they secured the room.

"Hey Shadow," Jared called. "You didn't finish this one off." Jared dragged an injured guard towards him. Jared set him on his knees.

"Screw you and your Republic." He cursed with blood dripping from his mouth.

"Your mother didn't teach you to watch your tongue." Shadow shot back.

"Your mother's a droid!"

"Before you assume you know whose life is better," Shadow said as he raised his weapon. "Watch where you stand." With two bolts, the man dropped dead. A red light flashed from the bottom right corner of his visor, signifying him to reload. He dropped the empty clip and slapped a fresh magazine in.

"Sir I believe that is our artifact right there!" Jared pointed.

Shadow looked over to a podium with a floating crystal but it wasn't like any crystal he has ever seen before. It was a crystal with four colors on it. Red, White, Black, Yellow. The insurrectionists had set up data instruments around it for study.

"Strange..." Shadow thought to himself.

"Titus, get the crystal while we remain here." Shadow ordered.

"A-alright sir!" he replied.

Jared's voice came up on a private commlink channel to Shadow. "I still worry for that boy he has only been here a week."

"Don't worry he will adjust in time," Shadow assured. "He is different person in the field trust me."

"Whatever you say." Jared shook his head.

Shadow liked Titus. He was young, skilled and had lots of potential as a soldier. He seemed to be fitting in nicely.

"Sir! The crystal is doing something!" GT cried. He was starting to get alarmed as he saw the crystal pulsing and hovering in the air.

"Titus! What did you do-" Shadow was cut off by a loud shrieking noise and a sharp pain in the back of his head. The room went dark.

Darkness wasn't anything new to Shadow but it felt like he was just in darkness forever before he finally heard something. Wind. He awoke with a powerful headache and in a strange forest.

Where am I?

Shadow followed combat procedure reflexively.

"Alright gear check first then contact the team see if they are anywhere around here."

He checked his gear to find he has his SBH Commando armor which was all black with a red visor. He has twin DC17B pistols, DC17M that can be changed into a sniper rifle and a grenade launcher, a strange sword he never had, and two gauntlets with hidden blades powered by Kyber crystals.

Strange… He thought to himself only remembering packing a DC17M and a pistol not evening having these hidden blades and the sword.

Shadow attempted to contact his squad on their private link."Can anyone hear me? Jared? GT? TJ? Titus?" No answer besides static.

Great…They are either dead or out of contact…I'm all alone… on a strange world… If only I-

A loud roar in the distance and a few screams that sounded like girls suddenly caught him off.

Those girls are in trouble!

He then ran towards the sound of the screams. He didn't think twice about it. He was a soldier, and he would help anyone in need.
