DARK LEGION
Prologue:
Night had fallen on Anoth. Talisin gazed out the window at the stars and knew that her conquest would succeed. She had called the others for their first meeting. It was time to put their plan into action. When she heard a noise behind her she turned.
"We are here." announced Il'yedosk. Talisin could feel the excitement the Trandoshan was feeling. She was eager for action. Beside Il'yedosk, Shraanac was more patient.
"So you have seen who our first victim will be?" he asked. Talisin gave a triumphant grin.
"Yes, the first one is a Wookie."
"Excellent. A challenge!" Il'yedosk said. She grabbed her lightsaber from her belt and the hiss of the blue blade filled the room. "Well, let's leave. There's no time to waste."
"Quiet! We can't leave now." Shraanac replied. "Rushing to Kashyyk without a plan will lead to your death. This must be done perfectly, a silent killing." Il'yedosk growled and reluctantly put her lightsaber away.
"I'm pleased you see it our way," Talasin said, "now sit and we will discuss plans."
The three shadowy figures sat at the small table and made plans to eliminate Kobacca on Kashyyk. This was only the beginning of a far greater scheme.
Part 1:
Trocaan stood on top of the ziggurat on Yavin 4 and optimistic about his mission. He gazed across the land and knew that this would be his last good look at the planet for a long time.
His friends would be done preparing his ship by now. With the Rancor ready to go, he would be leaving the Jedi Academy.
He got down from the ziggurat and went to the landing pad where his ship was ready to leave. His two friends, Nolaa and Endurai, and Master Skywalker were waiting for him.
Nolaa, Endurai and Trocaan had come to Master Skywalker with a proposition, to create a new Jedi Council that would work along side the Republic. This way the Jedi could easily be dispatched to solve the many conflicts throughout the galaxy. Master Skywalker had been pleased with the idea and had talked with his sister, Leia Organa Solo. Now the 3 Jedi were off to Coruscant to finalize a plan for the rebirth of the Jedi Council.
"There you are! It's time to go," Nolaa said. Beside her stood Endurai, waiting patiently.
"I'm very proud of the three of you," said Skywalker, "all of you did well with your Jedi training and I am sure you will all be a great help to the people of the galaxy."
"We have an excellent teacher to thank," Endurai replied. The Rodian was always modest.
"Thank you," said Skywalker, "now go out there and may the Force be with you."
Trocaan checked the readouts on the Rancor for the last time before lift-off. Everything looked fine.
"Alright Endurai activate the thrusters," he told his co-pilot.
As the ship rose the three could see everyone waving good-bye through the viewport. There was Master Skywalker, Kirana Ti, all of their classmates. Even Artoo was there.
"Engaging forward thruster..." Endurai said. Soon the Jedi Academy was out of sight and they were surrounded by the vastness of space.
"O.K, prepare to make the jump to lightspeed now." Trocaan said.
"By the way," Nolaa spoke from behind them, "just where are we going?"
A place where they could use some Jedi," Trocaan replied, "Coruscant. Get ready, here we go."
As the starlines streaked and space turned purple, the three Jedi wondered what lay ahead.
Trocaan landed the Rancor at hanger bay 37 safely. They were finally at Coruscant.
"I will get Nolaa from the galley," Endurai said rising from the co-pilot seat.
Trocaan thought to himself. He and Endurai had been through a lot together. They had met each other as children and their mutual Force abilities bonded them closely. Both their parents had been hiding on the planet Malastare from the Empire, who were out to destroy all Force sensitive beings. By the time Trocaan and Endurai were teenagers the Empire had been defeated. A few years later both of them left for the Jedi Academy. That was where they had met Nolaa. The three of them spent most of their time together at the Academy.
Trocaan was shaken from his thoughts when he heard a shout. He turned around and saw Nolaa. "What?" he asked.
"Let's go," she said, "there's someone meeting us in the bay."
The three of them got out of the ship and were greeted by a woman dressed in a formal suit. Next to her was a golden protocol droid and an older man wearing a general's uniform.
Leia smiled and shook their hands. "Welcome to Coruscant. Luke told me you would be coming."
After the three Jedi introduced themselves Leia introduced the man. "This is Senator Gorca. He will be in charge of your affairs."
He nodded. "If you have any concerns contact me. Unfortunately Leia and myself will be at several Council meetings and won't be available till tomorrow afternoon."
Trocaan still couldn't believe he was meeting High Councillor Leia Organa Solo. Then again, he and Endurai had felt quite overwhelmed when they first met Jedi Master Luke Skywalker too.
The golden protocol droid escorted Nolaa, Endurai and Trocaan to their quarters. It was a large building next to the Imperial Palace, kept for important Council members from other worlds to stay in. It was very luxurious.
Trocaan put his bag in his room and decided to rest for a while. He had a feeling he wouldn't be getting much rest for the next few days.
