Ch 1: The Battle Plan

Arkri Maros awoke to her masters voice. She caught her lekku in a rock and it still ached. She sometimes wondered what it would be like to be a human and not a Togruta. She had had very little sleep the night before due to the on going Battle on Balmorra.

Arkri got up and walked outside to the command base, it was time to report the progress on defending Balmorra from the Separatist invasion.

While she walked she looked around at the landscape. Balmorra must have once been a beautiful planet, but centuries of war have ruined its surface.

Arkri walked into the communication tower to find a group of people huddled around a holoterminal. Two figures stood in the hologram, Master Yoda and Master Windu.

"Greetings Padawan" said Yoda.

Arkri apologized for being late and joined the discussion.

"As we were saying, Balmorra must not fall into Separatist control." Said Master Windu over the hologram.

"I agree Masters, but the Separatists invasion fleet was much larger than we anticipated". Said Arkri's master, Bak Thrao

"Sending reinforcements, we are." Said Master Yoda.

"How many troops sir?" Said Captain Aron.

"Ten Thousand clones and two more Jedi, Master Horaine and her padawan Jerac." Replied Master Windu.

"Go I must. A Battle of my own I have to win. Good luck and May the force be with you." Said Master Yoda as the Hologram turned off.

"Alright, Captain we move out as soon as the reinforcements arrive. I will attack the North of the base with my padawan and a squadron. Master Horaine will attack the South of the base with her padawan and a squadron. You will take your men to the west of the base. Commander Yark will attack the east". Said Master Throa.

"Yes General." Said Captain Aron.

Now all they need was time, luck and the force.
