Chapter 13
Across the galaxy they emerged, the legions of the Sith. Only two had known of the hidden forces and now only one of them was still alive. Darth Nexus had sent out the call, signaling the forces it was time, as his Master had told him to do.
The hidden forces were clones They had spent years in hibernation as their numbers grew. Spaarti grown clones consisted of most of the forces, though there were still many Kaminoan clones that had been preserved throughout the years. All had been hidden years ago by Palpatine until they were given the signal to awaken.
It had all been prepared. They had been trained while they slept, their orders engrained into their very being. Weapons, though old and outdated, numbered in the thousands. Though the technology may have been obsolete, because of the large number of them they more than overcame there inferiority to modern weapons. Palpatine had known that they would.
The clones boarded their vessels and went out into the galaxy. Ships arrived over Ossus, Dantooine, Tatooine, Corellia, Yavin 4, and many others, though none ventured near Coruscant. Planets were taken by complete surprise as ships landed. Some tried to fight back but they were completely overcome. Planets were taken over by the clones.
Reports began to flood to Coruscant of the massive army. Alliance ships were immediately deployed to fight back against the hostiles. Panic erupted throughout Coruscant as precautionary measures were taken to safeguard the planet. The shadow had been correct, the Chief of State said to himself. The war had come.
But the war was not against the beings of the galaxy, not even against the Galactic Alliance. This was not the clones' true purpose but once again, as many years before, the clones' true purpose was the destruction of the Jedi. First with the destruction of the Jedi Temple and Academy, and then the destruction of the remaining Jedi spread throughout the galaxy.
And across the galaxy, Jedi died.
