Part One: Endar Spire

Francis Corban woke from his sleep groggily.

"Uh", he groaned, a gentle shaking of his bed threw him on the floor, and he was sleepy no longer. As he climbed to his feet, he barely had time to take in his strange surroundings before a man in full uniform charged through the door.

"Thank God that you're alive!" the man said. "We have to get Bastilla, she's in the bridge. Get your equipment from the footlocker over there, and let's go!"

Francis stared at the strange man strangely. "Bastilla? Who's Bastilla?"

The man stared at Francis for a second, then shook his head, "You must've hit your head harder than I thought, Bastilla is the Captain of the Ship, the Endar Spire, my name is Travis, commander of the Republic soldiers here, anything else you that want to know?"

"Yeah, what's the Endar Spire?"

"The Endar Spire is our ship, and it's being boarded by the Sith right this instant, if you want to live, I suggest that you come with me and help me find Bastilla, she's the only one who can save us!"

Francis nodded in agreement, "where's the footlocker," he asked.

Travis stared at him in disbelief, "it's right next to your bed."

Francis went to it, and fetched a short sword, a blaster pistol, a few medpacs and a combat armor. Quickly, he put on the armor and grabbed the blaster in his right hand, holstering his sword.

"Ok, I'm ready now, what's the plan?"

Travis nodded, "the door here is locked, I'm the only one who can open it, but be warned, there might be Sith outside."

Francis grinned and replied, "I'm not scared."

The door opened and Francis spotted a single Sith guard in the hallway, in their dark black armor. Wasting no time, two quick blaster shots flashed out from his weapon and into the back of the Sith.

Travis was surprised at his efficiency, and but interrupted by a message through his neural transmitter. He stopped to take in the news.

Francis waited for him patiently, and he explained.

"That was Carth Onies, he's a great Republic hero, there may be hope for us yet."

Francis nodded and pressed on. At the end of the hallway, he saw a sight that he would never want to see again, five Republic soldiers were fighting five Sith, the Republic soldiers were in bright red, brandishing blaster rifles. They fired at the Sith, but was cut down by Sith Vibroblades. Francis grabbed his short sword and charged into the fray, first two Republic soldiers fell, then one Sith, then another Republic soldier, and another Sith. That was when the Sith threw a frag grenade, throwing back Francis and killing another Republic soldier. Francis hastily used a medpac on himself, restoring him to full combat readiness. This time he fell back. While the Sith worked on the remaining Republic soldier, Francis and Travis had killed two more Sith. The last one tried to charge them but was repulsed.

Francis quickly grabbed a few medpacs from the fallen Sith and Republic soldiers, and took a long sword, a prototype Vibroblade, two more blasters, and a blaster rifle. He proceeded to put his melee weapons, the rifle, and the extra blaster in his pack and grabbed a blaster with his off hand. Armed thus, he and Travis proceed to the bridge.

Francis came to another door and opened it. He saw a male and female figure, both employing lightsabers as their weapon.

Travis stopped him, "That's a Dark Jedi, he's too much for us to handle, we should wait here."

The Jedi with the violet lightsaber danced around the Dark Jedi, feinting, jabbing, and slashing. She was evidently too much for him. She came in with a jab, which he blocked, and then a round kick to the chin, throwing him off balance and his middle open. A single slash brought the end of the fight.

Francis grinned at the Jedi, but at that moment, a huge explosion came from the wall, and the Jedi was killed. Francis froze and ran toward her.

"Too bad," Travis said, "she was one of the Jedi accompanying Bastilla, we could've used her help."

Francis nodded sadly, but picked off a vibration core from the Dark Jedi.

The pair went on and came to another room, inside are another four Sith, but one of them was wearing red, which means, Francis remembers, that's he's the commander. Francis wasted no time, immediately he threw two frag grenade at the commander two platoon members standing next to him. He ignored his blaster wounds and proceeded to finish off the commander, the two other Sith were already dead from the grenade. Travis was engaging another Sith with a Long Sword, and the remaining Sith was busy shooting at Travis. A few carefully aimed rapid shots from the double blasters took care of him, Travis slew the other one.
