Author's Notes and Disclaimer: Firstly, the Star Wars universe, settings, and characters therein are not my creation. You all know this, but it makes me feel better to say it anyway. Secondly, this story is my version of events of what happened after the events of the game Republic Commando, by Lucas Arts. Please be advised that I have not read the Republic Commando book Hard Contact; therefore, I do not know if I'm covering a time frame that has already been covered, or whether or not my story will even make sense to those who have read it. This story is how I can see the plot lines progressing, and I hope you'll all enjoy my vision of the events.
"You are each a piece of a whole person,

And the most prominent of these signs is an unexpected order from Chancellor Palpatine – an order that carries terrifying connotations, and the possibility of even more fearsome consequences…
