For the record, this is a Halo/Star Wars crossover and I do not own either franchise.
This is the first story I've posted on here in a long time so forgive me if my style has waned at all.
A War Renewed
Prologue
It has been many decades since Skywalker brought peace to the Republic Galaxy and the Jedi have once again flourished. A new academy, constructed on Yavin Four, is home to hundreds of Jedi ranking from Padawan to Master. Luke, unfortunately, passed away only five years ago and has been buried in the great Tomb of Jedi Masters. He is not forgotten though. He, even though he never married, found more of his relatives and brought them to the new Republic Capital of Torash on Manaan, east of Ahto City.
Despite the restoration of balance to the force, the sith have once again risen. However, these sith are nothing like the idealistic sith of the past. They are true sith. True Sith Lords that hunger for more power. They hunt the Jedi and feed on their power to make themselves even stronger.
They are still unable to attack the Jedi on Yavin Four for there are far too many of intense power. Instead, they lure the Jedi out, one at a time, using tactics such as traps, attacks on the innocent and even going so far as to threaten the new Galactic Senate. They even now prepare to urge the warrior race of the Hindons, a wolf-like species that excel in combat and have excellent piloting skills, into war with the Republic. As well as an enemy no one of this galaxy would ever suspect…
Meanwhile, in the Milkyway Galaxy, the Covenant have been crushed and split in two. The Elites have joined forces with the humans of the UNSC, the Grunts have returned to their own home world to rest and the Hunters have vanished. The Covenant is now broken however, for three new prophets of Justice, Power and Wisdom have become the Hierarchs of the Covenant and have fled to rebuild their forces.
The UNSC has reclaimed all of its former colonies and good deal of new ones. Six of the Halo rings remain and await activation; however, the UNSC authorities have forbidden anyone to set foot on them in the danger of releasing more Flood. The Flood, like the hunters, have disappeared without a trace. Along with the Gravemind…and Cortana.
A one SPARTAN-117 has begun to search for her in hopes that she was ok. However, upon arriving to the ruined holy city of High Charity, he found something, that no one would ever expect…
