Authors Note: alright I'd like to apologize to my readers for my long periods between updating and although I could say something to get me out of it its because I'm lazy and I never get around to writing.
Yes I'd like to thank my reviewers I won't call each one out individually this time I'm sorry but I just decided that it takes up too much space.
Dantooine is a planet with a very low populous, mostly farming communities scattered in small bunches across the planet with the largest one located in the area around the Jedi Academy on the planet. Recently this area was full of unease and distrust with those at the Academy. With the beginning of the Mandalorian Wars, and the Jedi's controversial decision to take no part in the conflict, Revan and his apprentice Malak had begun to cause a rift in the Jedi when they began recruiting other Jedi to disregard the Council and travel with the new warriors in a crusade against the Mandalorians.
Revan had been very reclusive since the beginning of their movement but Malak could usually be seen about in all the meeting places of the farming communities of the planet preaching to Jedi and others about their righteous cause.
What was startling about Revan and Malak's efforts so far was how well they were succeeding. Although Malak was no longer allowed within the Academy he still drew huge crowds of Jedi around him and the number of them that had joined their cause was staggering.
It is because of Revan and Malak's preaching on this planet that the ship containing Master Slaran and his Padawan Link'u now descended.
"Why have we come to this out of the way planet, Master?" Link'u asked.
"Some of the greatest Jedi Masters were trained here and not all of the great Jedi were trained on Coruscant, you know," said Slaran.
"Yes, but how is coming to this planet part of the plan for your teachings, Master?" The confused Link'u continued to inquire.
"Padawan you know of the current war with the Mandalorians that the republic is waging, and you also know that the Jedi Council forbid all Jedi from taking part in the conflict."
"Yes Master I do."
"Well when you were on Coruscant did you hear from anyone about the two rogue Jedi who are forming a movement to disobey the Council and join the fight against the Mandalorians?"
"No, Master I did not."
"Well they are here on this planet currently recruiting huge numbers of Jedi to their cause and we are here to speak to them."
"Yes Master."
After this they exited their ship followed by the four other followers of Master Slaran's unorthodox teachings. The ship was cheap and poorly made it could make maybe two or three more hyperspace jump before it would require repairs, Link'u wondered how Master Slaran had managed to acquire it for their journey since Jedi had very little money and Master Slaran had only ever been able to secure his fine clothes and such with his friendliness to the nobles and politicians. And as for their four traveling companions they were still an utter mystery to Link'u as they almost never spoke and only rarely showed their faces, he still had yet to learn their names.
Only Master Slaran and Link'u left the ship. Link'u got the impression that the other four did not wish to show themselves to the outside world.
At night, in the middle of a small, but crowded, plaza in a small farming community near the Jedi Academy, Malak was giving yet another speech to a crowd of young excited Jedi.
"My friends the Jedi Council is blind to the pain and suffering being caused by the invading Manadalorian armies. But we must not be blind! Because the Council does nothing it is our duty to rise up and repel the Mandalorians from destroying our beloved Republic. The common soldiers of the armies of the Republic are nothing compared to the Mandalorians might. And they are nothing compared to us. Only we can fight and have the power to stop this war before every citizen of the Republic is destroyed! So my friends... MY COMRADES... will you join with me and my Master and help to end this war before it consumes our way of life?" Malak shouted all this out in his gravelly but strangely alluring voice.
Similar speeches like this were give until almost all the present Jedi listening to him speak were standing with him and the remaining few had left in a rush towards the Jedi Academy when Malak had finally stepped down from his makeshift podium in the center of the plaza.
Slaran approached him while Link'u remained a few steps behind.
"I can sense that you are both Jedi" Malak stated at the approach of Master Slaran.
"Do you also wish to join our cause or are you sent here from the Council in another attempt to advise me to cease my efforts?" Malak said now sizing the two Jedi up mentally.
"I am Jedi Master Slaran and this is my padawan Link'u" Slaran responded.
"We and four other Jedi that traveled with us wish to join you and your cause to fight against the Mandalorians in the Outer Rim."
"Excellent, my master will be most pleased" and with this Malak turned around and Slaran and Link'u followed.
And just like that Slaran, Link'u, and the four other Jedi had joined with Malak and Revan in the Jedi Armies of the Republic.
