George Lucas, Lucasfilm, Lucasbooks, and Lucasarts own and created Star Wars and the video game "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed". They also created all of the characters and the majority of locations. For example, I created the planet of Singren. This is just a fan work.
Author's Note: This story is a prequel and interqual to the video game "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed". To come up with the charectors back story's, I looked at what had already been established. For instance, in the guide to The Force Unleashed, it has charector bios. The one about Rahm Kota said that he fought for freedom on his home world before he had reached the age of 10. It stated he stopped fighting at the year of 18 when Jedi Master Mace Windu arrived on the planet to settle the dispute. Mace Windu found Rahm Kota, and sensing his sensitivity to the force, took him to be trained at the Jedi temple. I decided to implement this into my story, but I would add on to it, like what he did while fighting for freedom on his home world. Rahm Kota's fight for freedom on his home world is just one of the many, many things I will be covering in this story.
Time: 48 BBY, a ½ month before 47 BBY
Location: Singren
Rahm Kota huddled inside his home as a battle took place right outside his window. He lived on the planet of Singren, a planet divided. His people were fighting for freedom, something Rahm Kota utterly supported. But, he was still young. Too young to fight in this war. Unfortunately, some people's desires for freedom are too great.
Rahm took a quick peek outside his window, and then dived back to the ground. He was surrounded by his family, or who was still alive. His mother and brother were still alive. His father had joined the war, and was killed almost immediately. His family was hiding in his home, with hopes to survive the battle. A battle Rahm loved and feared.
Suddenly, the door to the home burst into splinters. Soldiers came pouring into the house. "Quickly, move! This house is abandoned, we'll hold off the troopers from here!" "No! Get out of here! Nooo!" Shrieked Kota's mother, who was afraid of the war after it took her husband. "Get out of here!" She yelled, before she broke down into tears. The soldiers all stared at the family of three, realizing their mistake. "Shit! This place isn't abandoned after all!" One of the soldiers looked down at the family. "We'll need to escort you to one of our camps. You'll be safe there." "No we won't. No! Nooo!" Kota's mother said between sobs. "I'm sorry, but this is procedure. Jericho squad, escort these people and anyone else down to campsite 940." "Yes sir" the squad leader replied. He and the rest of the squad motioned for the family to follow them. Rahm was the first to stand up. His brother and his mother hung back, his mother yelling and screaming for Rahm to return, his brother remaining silent. Eventually, his brother stood up. But his mother didn't move.
She yelled and wailed. "You won't take me there! The soldiers will attack there, to get back at us! I'm not going away from this house, into a warzone!" The soldiers looked at each other. The leader of Jericho squad, in response to this statement, said "Jek, you're our medic. Inject her with some Trainex." "How much?"Jek replied. "Enough to keep her sedated for 3 hours." "Affirmative", replied Jek. Jek slowly walked towards Kota's mother. She shrieked, and scooted back. "Restrain her" ordered the leader of Jericho squad. The squad mates did so, but with much resistance. They were all holding her to the ground with her shaking and yelling. Jek pulled out an injector, full of some type of liquid and thrust the needle into Kota's mother. At first there was no change, but slowly and slowly she began to quiet down until she was asleep. Rahm stared. "D-did you k-kill her?" Rahm asked his face full of confusion, sadness, and a slight bit of anger. "No, she's just asleep. She'll wake up once we reach campsite 940. Now, you and your brother, come with us. We'll carry your mother".
Rahm and his brother followed the men outside. Rahm was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of violence going on around him. "This way! Quickly!" the leader of Jericho squad yelled. Rahm, his brother, and the rest of the troops, including the ones carrying Rahm's mother, all dashed after the Jericho squad leader. They kept running for awhile. They were running on the outskirts of the town, next to the giant maze of trenches where the battle was being fought.
Rahm then looked down at a squad of troops as he was running. They were ducking in the trenches, probably hoping they won't be spotted by the enemy. Too late. Missiles flew up and landed right inside of their trench. Rahm watched as all of their bodies were blown apart by the explosion, with nothing left but puddles of blood and mangled limbs. Rahm stopped running, too overwhelmed by the violence. He could hear the troopers from Jericho squad yelling for him, but they seemed so far in the distance, even though they were right next to him. All of a sudden, long stripes appeared in the sky. They were heading towards Jericho squad. They were missiles. The Jericho squad leader yelled "Get out of the way! Hurry!" .Rahm came to his senses and started to run when the missiles hit. The scenery before him was taken away, swallowed by fire and pain. The explosions of the missiles were the last thing he saw.
Rahm's brother looked back behind him. He and the majority of Jericho squad got out of the miss way. "Rahm! Rahm!" yelled Rahm's brother. "It's too late for him, and the others of Jericho squad. They're gone." said the leader of Jericho squad, feeling somewhat sympathetic for the boy. "Come on, men! We have to keep moving! Otherwise we'll end up like our friends back there!" Everyone in Jericho squad agreed, and they continued forward. Rahm's brother continued to look over the wreckage. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do. We have to go. Cmon." The leader of Jericho squad grabbed hold of Rahm's brother and began walking him forward, to catch up with the rest of Jericho squad.
But, even though everyone in Jericho squad thought so, Rahm Kota was not dead.
