Victory Cruiser "The Pendant", Space over Cerea, the Closing days of the Clone Wars
"Prepare for take off", the voice on the loud speaker ordered as the gunship began to lift off. NDE-117, volunteer soldier for the Republic, geared up with his rifle as the commander got up.
"This is a recon mission. Destination is Cerea. We're going to invetigate a seperatist facility that is suspected to be controlled by a spy in our ranks. General Jer'hei will meet us on the ground", the Commander put on his helmet and turned around.
NDE-117 looked at his helmet before putting it on. It would be a shame to die so close to the end of the war, but with the Senate being in such a disarray, they had to obey. He put the safety off on his rifle and stood up as the claps rolled up, revealing a lush forest beneath them.
He spotted several CIS tanks on the ground, but they didn't seem to notice the gunship. As it descended into a clearing, the troopers jumped out. The Commander waved NDE-117 and two other troops over to him, ordering the others to guard the gunship.
After running abit, they reached the edge of the forest. The Commander put his hand up, signaling a full stop. "NDE-117, disable the antenna. NDE-412, take out the guards. NDE-335, come with me. Move out"
NDE-117 ran across the field, reaching a small bunker at the other end. He looked up at the panel as it blinked from red to green, allowing him to enter a cavern. "NDE-117 reporting in. I have reached the target, requesting codes"
"Affirmative. The code to is Jelena Cahen. We'll begin once you have disabled the shields", The Commander shut off the communications, waiting for NDE-117 to disable the shield.
NDE-117 punched in the code, but was interrupted before he managed to press the button. "General?", he asked as the Jedi approached him.
"Nice job for a... thing like you", Jer'hei said in a disgusted tone.
"Excuse me?", NDE-117 exclaimed as Jer'hei ignited his lightsaber. "Commander, something is wrong with General Jer'hei. He's th-", a slash was heard over the radio.
"Corporal? Corporal?!", The Commander screamed. He stopped when he noticed the shields had been lowered. As the team began moving in, they realised something was wrong. All the guards had been called off, and Jer'hei was standing in the door opening.
"So, the squad comes to save the soldier?", Jer'hei dropped NDE-117 on he ground, wounded.
"What have you done?!" The commander exclaimed.
"Jedi's all over the galaxy is being executed. I blocked your communications with Coruscant to prevent you from receiving the order", he laughed as he ignited his lightsaber once more, "And now... We'll say everyone perished in the explosion"
The commander prepared his pistol, "What explosion?"
"This... Explosion", Jer'hei revealed a detonator, which he in that very second pushed down. A bright white light erupted from the facility and rumbled towards the squad. The last thing they saw was a yellow light, as everything turned black.
