Prologue: Galactic War
The galaxy was at war. The First Battle of Geonosis marked the beginning of what would be known as the Clone Wars. Millions upon millions of Republic soldiers, all of whom were clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, were pitting themselves against millions upon millions of battle droids waving the flag of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Leading the Republic Army in its campaign to restore order in a chaotic galaxy were the Jedi.
At the head of the Jedi Order, there was its Grand Master, a Gallifreyan Jedi known as the Doctor. He and the rest of the Jedi Order were thrust into positions of military leadership. Many Jedi were now known as "General" instead of "Master Jedi." The Jedi who had survived Geonosis were often thrust into the galaxy to fight in long campaigns to either defend against the Separatists or force them from an occupied world. They were often given legions or a corps of clone troopers to command. Obi-Wan Kenobi was assigned the 7th Sky Corps. Mace Windu was assigned to the 91st Reconnaissance Corps. The Doctor himself chose no corps, but he was instead given tactical command of an elite squadron of Advanced Recon Commandos who would come to be known as the Muunilinst Ten. Yet, even with these clones and the Jedi leading them, more and more planets were slipping into the evil Count Dooku's grip. Still, the Jedi had Anakin Skywalker, who was growing stronger each day.
The Jedi Order lost many distinguished members on Geonosis, and they would continue to lose many distinguished members throughout the Clone Wars, right up until the end, when the Sith finally made their move that would very nearly destroy the Jedi once and for all.
This is the story of the Doctor during the final and most devastating war ever fought by the Republic, and the last years of the Jedi Order as he knew it.
