Wild Space
The small Jedi Grand Master sat on the bridge of the Aggressive Negotiations a Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught, she was the commanding ship of the Section fleet of 11 ships under Yoda's command, the name was Skywalker's decision and in the situations it was constantly faced with, the name fit. Yoda hadn't slept in days, relying purely on the force for sustenance. He was looking for something out here, there was something here, its strength echoing through the force with great power, and so he meditated, searching for the source of the power, it could not be ignored. A great power had awakened from its long slumber.
Anakin walked out onto the bridge, he spotted the small master where he always was, sitting on the ships spacious yet quiet bridge. "Master Yoda?" Anakin stated as he approached.
Yoda didn't move, remaining in meditation as he responded to Skywalker's entrance on the bridge. "Young Skywalker? Something troubles you I sense?"
Skywalker had a look of genuine concern struck across his face "It is you who troubles me Master, you have sat here for days, you should rest Master. Remaining in this state is not healthy."
Yoda smiled slightly, and turned to the worried Jedi Knight. "Worry for me, you no longer must, arrived we have." Yoda then turned back to his view of the great ship in hyperspace, he tapped his cane on the metallic floor of the starship ever so slightly. Upon this action the bridge crew halted their actions and looked to him, ready for their orders. "Exit hyperspace we must, arrived we have…"
The bridge roared to life upon those orders, the fleet communications came to life relaying the new orders. Within the roar a young Republic captain stepped onto the bridge unnoticed, she sat upon her chair and turned to face the colours of the Hyperspace exit. This was Captain Verei, a young Mirialan pilot on her first assignment upon the bridge of a republic vessel. Despite her age she was one of the greatest captains the Republic had, during her time in the Republic Naval academy she graduated from the academy with the highest scoring the republic had seen in years.
In a few moments the fleet exited hyperspace, the entire fleet was made up of 1 Mandator-Class, 2 Venator-Class, 2 Acclamator-Class and 6 CR90 Corvettes.
Verei stood and made herself known on the bridge, the two Jedi turned to see her preparing to relay the new order. "Give me scanner readings on that planet, I want to know everything about it and don't forget to bring up historical logs."
The bridge crew systematically darted to their consoles with a frenzy, activating scanner and republic planetary logs, historical logs, anything on the world that lay in front of them, the two Jedi remained quiet looking upon the planet, looking through the force and trying to find what it was that brought them out here in the middle of galactic war. Several of the crew shouted out findings on the planet.
"Historical logs state the planet is known as Odessen, Republic planetary logs have nothing recorded."
"Scans show the planet is habitable, high oxygen readings."
"Life sign reading Ma'am! Seems to be wildlife though!"
"Strange energy reading coming from a mountainous region of the planet, our sensors can't get through it, I suspect jamming systems are in place if someone is down there, no other data."
The captain sighed, "It will have to do then" she then turned towards the two, well now four Jedi who waited in front of her, it seems Master Kenobi and Padawan Ashoka had joined them. "Master Jedi, it seems the rest is up to you from here, in preparation the squads who will assist you have been briefed and are awaiting further orders in the primary hanger bay"
The four Jedi nodded and gave their thanks before walking from the bridge towards the hanger bay.

The journey to the hanger was a quiet one, something that disturbed Ashoka Tano to great effect, never had pre-mission been something that was quiet, in fact it was usually plagued with drama, either between her and Skywalker or Skywalker and Obi-Wan. She had to break silent.
"So… What exactly can we expect here, because I don't know nothing about what we are even doing out here in what is literally the middle of nowhere."
Master Yoda was the first to answer, although the answer didn't really help with her question. "Know of this place, I do not, know of what lays here, I do not, but strong in the force this planet is… Ignore it, I could not, but go alone, I could not. Whilst strong in the force it is, hold dominion the light and dark does not, in balance Odessen is."
Kenobi frowned at those words, like he always does when he thinks too hard on something, "It's unlike anything we have seen before, previous encounters with force tainted planets, for example Tython and Korriban have shown distinct connections to Light or Dark. I have a bad feeling about this place…"

Moments later the four reached the hangers, two fully stocked CR25 troop carrier awaited their arrival, under the Jedi's command was an entire Company, they had a platoon of the 501st, one of the 212th, a 41st and finally a platoon 401'st shock troopers. But what stood out the most was a squad of four Republic Commando's standing to the far right. These men were ready for anything the galaxy had to throw at them, or almost everything, Anakin had faith in these men, so did Master Kenobi, but they had to remain skeptical simply because they knew nothing of this world.

Surface of Odessen
An ancient fortress of the Alliance lies within the cliffs of Odessen, constructed in the year of 3635 BBY. Despite the age of this construct it is no ruin. To enter the halls of this most ancient fortress it is almost as if going back in time, for the many years this place has existed, it has not changed its archaic layout. Its great halls are a bustle of life, ancient Imperial and Republic soldiers still walked together through the great metallic halls discussing the recent galactic events. The smugglers den, bathed in warm orange light and stashed with crates, drinks, credits and alive with notorious criminals and rouges from all corners of the galaxy all discussing their latest escapade, be it a dangerous bounty or a great heist.
The force sensitives of this Order trained together, learning the ways of the Light, the Dark and the Grey, here in this room the force was practiced with freedom and balance. Deep within the heart of the mountain lay another room, submerged completely in darkness a figure sat upon his ancient Throne in an eternal sleep, well a would be eternal sleep. Something was here on Odessen, someone strong in the force had arrived, his ancient fortress had been discovered.
A voice called out to him in his mind Awaken
The ancient stirred slightly. Your people need you
With this he opened his eyes and looked into the darkness, he could see nothing in such light. Should one have been watching him they would have only seen the terrifying sight of his piercing yellow eyes.
The ancient figure stood and walked down the steps to his throne, the chambers many lights coming to life as he touched the ground. Upon the wall lay tapestries of the alliances many exploits and victories. Towards the entrance to his chambers lie two great banners of the Alliances symbol, this symbol features the Republic and Imperial insignia split in two and then imbued together. This symbol was one that represented trust, bravery, power, respect and allegiance. He stopped and spoke to the voice within his head telepathically.
Valkorion, tell me, I would like to know why it is you woke me…
The voice of Valkorion replied, something that had proved incredibly rare. The Sith Emperor which had taken up residence within his mind was not exactly one for replying. It is because you have been idle long enough… And anyway… Something of great power in the force has arrived here, no longer will you hide within the accursed tomb.
He sighed as he looked towards the doors of his great hall… Which may have well been a tomb. Upon reaching the ancient stone doors he waited for amount, using the forced energy to strengthen his arms, then he pushed forward, drawing on all his strength. The door creaked open for the first time in thousands of years. He stepped into the metallic walkways of the Alliance headquarters and was spotted by two guard standing watch over the throne of their most honourable Lord Commander, at the sight of him the two saluted with precise discipline and shouted his name in respect. "Lord Thäne!
