Star Wars: Loyal Clones
Part I
Order 66, a directive ingrained in clone troopers during their relentless training programs. Issued by Emperor Palpatine of the New Republic, the "First Galactic Empire", it dictated to all clone troopers that every Jedi must be killed…
Half a day before this order is issued, a small ship, damaged from an attack by droid forces left over from Count Dooku and containing an elite team of five clones and one Jedi flies through space on the other side of the galaxy without shields, weapons, hyper drive, and communications…
Chapter I
"There is no way we can get the communications system fixed. I've tried and I've tried, but the damn thing is fried." Lance Corporal Alpha7, the Engineer and Demolitions clone said. He always seemed to be bitchy about a technical thing of some sort and had also come to be known as the practical joker of the group, "The Hyper drive is also fried like a piece of bacon. I told you guys we shouldn't have pissed those droids off with only six of us."
"Gah! What does it matter, Alpha? We planted the explosive and got out alive didn't we?" The exasperated clone, Private Epislon33 who was both the Medic and sniper in the team said. He was a very down to earth person and always serious on the job. He also tended to look at the bright side of things even when it seemed like all hell broke loose.
"Why the hell were we sent so far out anyways? The mission we got was for normal clones, not elites like ourselves. We were all trained for stealth shit, not blowing up a droid ship on the other side of the galaxy. So what if a couple of Count Dooku's henchmen were onboard?"
"It does seem strange…" Came the calm and smooth voice of Jedi Guin Brem as the doors to the cockpit closed behind him. He always was so quiet when entering a room; it was still hard to believe he was there afterwards. Guin Brem was definitely a taller human, at least 5'11 and quite muscular. He was in his mid 30s, but somehow he seemed older and wiser. He was also an excellent Jedi, his light saber skills were amazing and he always remained calm and controlled even at the worst of times. Never once did he seem to have fear or hate in him, a true inspiration for young padawans.
"But anyways, it doesn't matter. We need to get the hyper drive working and I don't think we can fix it. Is there any planets in this system where we might be able to purchase one?" Guin asked, rubbing his chin.
Seven moved over to another computer panel and brought up a holographic image of the system they were in that contained six planets.
"This one here does." Seven said pointing at the third planet from the sun, "Nirvania I. We should be cautious though, it's full of the worst rift raft imaginable. Most criminals go here to hide from the Republic."
Guin nodded and said to Epsilon, "Go wake the other three and get suited up."
Epsilon gave a nod and left the cockpit to wake up the team's leader and second-in-command.
