We had exited hyperspace in sector 17, I get out of the cockpit and go to Manning saying, "lets get rid of our excess luggage" I had known it may have been a bad choice but I have experienced enough pain in my lifetime yet I still stayed pure, may it be my connection with Galen that does this or is it my willpower to fight for my brothers? I was always questioning this in my 25 years of isolation, I had an image of the place I meditated on, it was a cliff peak, a simple stone was in place with the initials of my squad carved on it; 'B', 'E', 'G', 'Z' and on the top in the middle was a four leafed clover carved in the stone with an 'L' in the centre of the four leafed clover.
I had carved a four leafed clover on every weapon and piece of armour I owned and on the back of my helmet, I had a four leaf clover with a Greek l on it, I would never forget my squad, I will fight for them and when I die I will hopefully find peace and be reunited with The Serpents of the 501st.
After hoisting the Traitor into the void of sector 17 I went back to the cockpit and headed to the mission zone.
It had been a good half hour until we made it to the planet, it was quite obvious that it was controlled by the imperials, their structures plotted the surface which was covered in forests, jungles and mountains, I had recognised this place as Kashyyyk but it was different to when I last saw it, it was covered by imperials, once I laid eyes on the planet I had flashes of when I last saw it.
*images of the clone wars replay in my mind*
Wookiees and clones alike were falling in the battle for this planet.

Blaster fire was flying all the way through, any clone that tried to advance was slaughtered in his steps.

Zeta was shot while Epsilon and I moved him to cover.

Clones and Wookiees were falling back behind the walls
*images stop replaying*
I ask myself, "What happened to this planet, it was once luscious and green, now its dark and desolate, why?"
To my surprise manning was in the room he asked, "what you didn't know, most jedi were killed by clones, it was the start of the rise of the empire, I thought since being a clone you would have known this." I respond, "last I heard of the rise of the empire, I was falling into a dark chasm on Mygeeto." His expression changed to surprise, "wait if you were falling how did you hear of the rise of the empire?" I answer, "just as I lost grip Zeta was called by a person with a raspy voice saying, Execute order 66, he had responded, yes my lord and then I heard blaster fire, I saw bolt flying all over the place then it was silence, darkness encased me and I hit the ground, I felt my eyes close and then I fainted."
His expression changed to interest, "they never told us about that in the stories." I then react, "because the only people who witnessed me fall were my squad, five other clones that were killed and Ki-Adi-mundi." He stood back a bit noticing I was annoyed then he sat in the co-pilot seat, "are we landing?" I answer, "yes, cloaking on, we will find a vacant area to land and try to find this spy, do you guys have knifes?" Manning responded, "no, but I don't know about the others." I nod, land the rogue shadow, and then get the squad to meet in the landing bay, they all respond, "yes sir!" I walked to the landing bay then in a minute I had my squad behind me, I turn then ask, "who here has a knife?" they all respond, "no sir." I hand them all a small disk, perfect for throwing, "now these things are a nice small piece of equipment with enough strength they can go through thin metal sheeting, if its to thick it will ricochet around the room, they are sharp enough to cut through stormtrooper armour, but if they do kill a stormtrooper, you will have to retrieve it, be sure to have your weapons on you just in case it gets a bit bloody, we are a team, lets act like one!" they all respond, "understood sir, lets go." I nod and start to jog out of the Rogue shadow.
the beach we landed on felt different, it felt like a solid plot of land, not an actual beach, the sky was covered in black, and I saw some of the remains of the Wookiees killed in order 66, I silently told them to rest in peace. After a few minutes we had started hugging the walls of the imperial manufacture, as we moved through the dark alleyways we saw Wookiee prisoners being escorted by Stormtroopers, when I saw this I was aggravated, I really wanted to shut down all the imperial operations on this planet when I saw what was happening.
We had been through about half the street and we had just realised the lieutenant didn't tell us where we will most likely find the spy, I open my communicator and tried to call the lieutenant but then we saw an officer, I had a look at his shoulder and saw the resistance symbol, I stopped trying to call the lieutenant and we started to tail the officer, hoping he would move to a dark alleyway, one of the alleyways he looked down, we were almost completely cloaked by the shadow but he could make out our shape, he could tell we were the resistance fighters by my armour, he looked down the street to see no one then he walked into the alleyway, we had approached him casually and he had handed us a holodisk, "here's your intel"
