Chapter 1: My Saga

Encrypted Transmission 12-21-184829: Jedi Accounts of the Clone Wars- 18 Years Before The Battle of Yavin I, 1 month after the Great Jedi Purge…

This is Jadin Ravis, Jedi Knight and one of the few surviving the Jedi Purge; I send this message out to anyone who finds it so that history not repeat itself. It wont be long before the Empire finds me, it wont be long at all.

(garbled speech)

The clone wars were the darkest times in the Republic. We didn't know what was coming; we were blind. Order 66 hit us like a bomb. The Sith swept most of us away. We were left in the dark, but no more. The Jedi live in more numbers than we thought. This Empire will fall just as it should, and the Galaxy will be free once more.

(muffled sounds)

I was at the age of 16 when I joined the Jedi Order and in turn enlisted into the corrupted Republic Army. Commander they called me. Pfft, and look where we are now. A symbol of piece, eradicated by our enemy throughout history. (static). My entire story will be entered into this recording, from my life as a whole to the Clone Wars themselves. Well here it goes:

I was originally from Tatooine but moved to Ryloth when I was very young. That's right, Ryloth, home of the Twi'leks, or 'tail heads' as some beings call them. One side of the planet faces the sun and the other remains in darkness, known as tidal locking. The dayside is referred to as the Bright Lands and the night-side is known as the Nightlands. Because of its unusual day-night rotation period, atmospheric conditions on the surface are characterized by turbulent seasons and extremely high winds (reaching 500 kilometers per hour) scouring the surface and sculpting the landscape and unpredictable bursts of heat called heat storms, which could reach 300 degrees. So, in a way, Ryloth is a living hell.

I had lived one of the cities that was occupied by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, or CIS. At least it was, until the Galactic Republic and there Clone Army came in and decimated any form of Separatist rule in the system.

Well, the real story is that I am what some beings would call Force-sensitive. Some would call this to be impossible, to know that one self is attuned to the Force. How do I know it? I have learned to connect with the life energy all around Ryloth. I had no teachers and no instructors, just me being alone with myself. Over the years, I had learned to use my powers

I could see into the future and it would come true (well, most of the time). I could move at super fast speeds to go faster than some landspeeders for a brief amount of time. I can make myself invisible to others by photo-kinetically bending light and sound waves around me, rendering myself invisible to others. Since this power could physically bent light like a cloaking device, this power could be used to hide from machines such as droids. However, it demands a great deal of concentration in order to maintain and consumed much more energy than the other Force techniques. And these are just a few I had learned.

And I know what most of you are thinking right now. How could a kid possess the powers a Jedi Master would have? To tell you the truth, I have no idea. My life before my powers is a mystery to both you and me. I would want to learn, however my mother had told me that I wouldn't like what I would find.

I had more important matters at hand though. During my time on Ryloth under CIS control. They had ransacked any city looking for certain treasures: gold, jewels, anything they could turn over for a quick profit. And if they had found me? They would most likely take me prisoner or even kill me on sight. My mother would be in jeopardy as well. I would have get out or be made a target by the Separatist army on Ryloth. So, I would make a short journey to a Republic Assault Ship on the outskirts of the city where we lived in. The only downside was that Republic patrol forces protected it day and night. I wanted to go aboard and have no issues at all. This didn't seem to be the case. I needed to leave this forsaken planet behind for good. Coruscant was the only place that I could head to. The Jedi could help me in controlling and expanding my powers as well.

With in no time, the Republic starship was within sight. The sentries were oblivious anything that even got close to them. Their helmets were only set for tunnel vision and wouldn't protect against a blaster bolt. It was very simple to sneak around to the starship entrance. The guards didn't so much as turn their heads when I came from behind them. Some mighty 'Grand Army of the Republic',I thought.

I hid in a ration crate I found by the entrance since it wasn't the best idea to enter a space ship patrolled by well over a thousand clone troopers. I waited until some clone troopers took up the crate I was in and grunted under their helmets for the weight. I panicked until I realized they were taking me inside the ship itself. Free transportation I guess.

"Why is this crate so heavy?" one of the clones asked. "I thought we cleared these out?"

"We did," the other clone said. "I was thinking the same thing. What was even in this crate?"

They dropped the crate as if it were off a ten-story building. Pain raced up through my back as I screamed in my head. I grunted a little to loud and alerted the clones.

"Let's see what's in here," the first clone had said. I heard them start to creak the crate open. A million thoughts raced through my head, one was how the hell am I going to get out of this?
