"Revenge is one of the oldest emotions. Some say it is older than love or forgiveness. Though it focuses the mind and gives us reason to persevere, it limits us. It keeps us in the past and forces us to relive events we are powerless to change."
Prologue: Everything Changes
"The time has come. Execute Order 66."
With that simple utterance, the Jedi went from being the Republic's heroes to fugitives to be hunted down and executed with extreme prejudice. Chancellor Palpatine, aka Darth Sidious, had played the Jedi masterfully. All of the pieces in his grand scheme of revenge and annihilation had fallen into place, and the Jedi were powerless to prevent their own destruction. Across the galaxy, clone troopers once loyal to their Jedi commanders now became the instruments of a vindictive genocide. None were to be spared. Amongst the first to die were some of the most well-known and experienced of the Order. The few Jedi who survived the initial onslaught now had to run.
However, Darth Sidious wouldn't let them go. He would never let them go. The responsibility for hunting down those who escaped primarily fell upon the shoulders of his Apprentice, Darth Vader. Once the true and loyal member of the Jedi Order known as Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader left his former life and identity behind more and more with every Jedi that he killed at the bidding of his Master.
But, those that survived would not go quietly, for they were Jedi. They would not make Darth Vader's task easy for him, for they were Jedi. Though most of the galaxy was now against them, they would remind the Sith that they were still here.
They are the Jedi.
