Republic cruiser Liberation, bridge
The 372nd Clone division decelerates from lightspeed to chart space beyond edge of the Outer Rim. Three clones stood at a large screen plotting points for future hyperspace roughs. One of the on duty helmsmen approaches the female Togrta Jedi looking out a starboard view port. He stood behind her with a data pad. The trooper cautiously reaches out to tap her shoulder, when she turns around and smiles at the clone.
"what is it that troubles you trooper?"
The clones cautiousness look turns to nervousness. He hands the datapad to her and walks away quickly. She looked at the data pad in her hand, it had a star chart on it and a note by one of the planets she didn't recognize. She read the note about a CIS fleet several solar systems away. The droid fleet didn't pose an immediate threat to the scouting mission so she decided not to worry about it. She placed the datapad on the central console in the middle of the bridge, and looked at the star chart behind her. A clone trooper approached her.
"Sir, we have an incoming transmission,"
"I'll take it trooper,"
The Jedi switched on the holoterminal in front of the star chart. A blue figure appeared on the console. She took a step back in shock when she saw her former master standing before her with a blue flickering glow.
"Hello my youngling, I'm afraid I have bad news,"
"Master, what happened? You look hurt,"
The holographic figure covered his face as an explosion engulfed half the console's projection.
"I'm afraid I have gotten the Republic into someones else's war,"
The Jedi blocked two bolts in quick succession, just to be thrown by a large explosion.
"I can't see them!" a clone screamed out.
The Jedi picked up the handheld projector and looked deeply into it.
"There numbers are great and there weapons strong,"
A clone baring red markings backed up to the Jedi's back. Ty suddenly remembered to breathe. She closed her eyes and dropped her head trying to regain composure. When she looked up a large gash had been made on the clones armor and he fell to his face. Her master was knocked to his knees.
"You have to end this Ty!" He said as something picked him up by the neck.
He took one last swing of his saber and succeeded in knocking a large bright mass out of view, but just as one left another appeared. Ty heard a strange language of an unseen creature. A blue two pronged lightsaber activated and pierced the Jedi's chest. She stood unblinking. Watching, as the life drained out of her master. A bright light now blocked her view of her master. The handheld projector seemed to move without being touched and then she saw the face in the projector as a large unsightly alien materialized. It looked straight into the projector as it picked it up. The alien's ornate silver armor gleaming in the blue wash of the projector. The bridge rattled with the hash alien's speech as it ranted before pointing at the dead Jedi. When it finished its speech it dropped the projector and stepped on it, cutting off the transmission.
The projector went dark on the Liberation. Ty remained still frozen in place.
"We have a location of the transmission, general, what are your orders?" a clone said shakily.
The clone repeated himself with less panic in his voice.
"I don't know what to do, sir. What are your orders?"
She let out a short breath and looked up with wide eyes. She turned around slowly and started walking. The clones said nothing as she entered the turbolift. She took a deep breath as the doors of the lift slid and clicked shut. Ty hit the button that lowered the lift to her floor. The lift stopped suddenly and the doors opened to reveal a clone.
"Hello, Ty. May I come in?" The clone said with a touch of concern.
