Prologue: The First Battle of Taris: 3,963 BBY
Sirens cried out across Taris and Chaos reigned in the streets of the Upper City. Loud speakers instructed civilians to get to the shelters. Soldiers, militiamen and jedi took up defensive positions to fend of the oncoming attack as droids were flowing out of the military bases, on their way to help the soldiers. And then it happened. The sky turned red with the balls of fire coming down through the atmosphere. Each ball was a dropship containing what seemed like an infinite supply of Mandalorian troops. With them, came the dreaded Basilisk War droids, which was feared by the republic ground troops, as well as the inhabitants of the world they fell on. They're only purpose was sheer destruction, but they also served as troop transports. Each basilisk could carry three to five mandalorian troopers, and after being dropped onto a location, they would storm out and eliminate the shocked enemy. This was the sight from the now empty Jedi Temple on Taris.
"Master, we must go help them!" said Jora. "The battle is already lost, can you not feel it in the force? The republic army has arrived too late to stop this form happening. If we stay we will undoubtedly die here. We will be back here one day, we will free Taris from the Mandalorians Besides, Revan is waiting for us on the Leviathan, that is where we are needed. We must prepare the troops and the other young jedi for what lies ahead" answered Ciam. "If you say so Master… This just doesn't feel right."
The two jedi ran out the council chamber and headed towards the hangar to get to Ciam's personal transport, the Wyvern. On their way to the hangar, Ciam stopped abruptly. "What's wrong?" asked Jora. "Shh. I sense the enemy nearby." The two jedi snuck around a corner, and sure enough there were 7 mandalorians standing there, one huge one, obviously the leader of that group. He was massive, and he looked like he could take on a whole battalion by himself. "Looks like we'll need to take these mandalorians on, the only way to get to the hangar is through them" said Ciam. "Well I finally agree with you master."
Ciam ignited his lightsaber and jumped into the group of mandalorians. He stabbed one of the mandalorians, and decapitated another. Jora came running in aswell and slashed another of the soldiers. After most of the Mandalorians were down, the big one was all that was left. "You surprised me jedi, but I wont let that happen again." Said the big mandalorian. Jora charged him but he grabbed her, and threw her against the wall. "Jora!" yelled Ciam. In turn, Ciam charged the mandalorian, and he tried to catch Ciam as well, but Ciam proved to quick, leaped over him, and slashed his back.
"That stung puny jedi." The Mandalorian turned around and grabbed Ciam's neck. "You will be the third jedi i've killed. You should fele honored that you were killed by Lupus Valor!" gloated the mandalorian. "Not today I'm afraid." Ciam used the force to break free and then to push him out of the room. He brought the ceiling down, thus cutting Lupus off from the two jedi. Jora was just coming to, and he grabbed her and they ran to the hangar. Waiting in the hangar was the Wyvern. They got in and fired up the engines. As they were leaving, Lupus came storming in and started shooting at the craft. "Get back here jedi! We aren't finished here!" yelled a crazy Lupus.
As the Wyvern rose in the sky, Ciam looked out of the cockpit window. "By the force…"
The majority of the city was ablaze, and you could distinguish mass executions all over Upper Taris. Ciam didn't have time to stare though. Mandalorian fighters came out of knowehere and started firing at the transport. They made it to space, only to find the Mandalorian fleet. The Wyvern managed to evade the oncoming fire from the ships, and to weave through the line of ships. Thankfully, a wing of Republic fighters came to escort them, and they made it to open space. After and hour of flight, they finally managed to rendezvous with the Republic Fleet. After that day, Master Ciam Nase and Padawan learner Jora Eiden had officially joined the war along with many other young jedi.
