Special Chapter

Origins: The Droid General

In a galaxy far far away…

Agamar

2 BBY

"Battles leave scars, some you can't see." – Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus

Imperial Walkers are seen advancing towards to the hangar of an old wrecked Separatist supply ship.

"Ready Zeb?" asks the Clone Captain Rex towards the Rebel Lasat named Zeb.

The Lasat gives him a thumbs up in return.

Before preparing for battle, Clone Captain Rex remarks- "Uhhh, one last glorious day in the Grand army of the Republic." as he observes the Imperial walkers advancement.

Behind a large supply crate.

Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger tells the Astromech named Chopper to get the Neimoidian shuttles ready. While former Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus also orders B1 Battle Droid D Squad to get ready for their attack.

"I have never attempted such a desperate strategy." Said the Former Separatist General Kalani

"That's why we always won" replied Captain Rex promptly as he points his DC-17 blaster pistol towards himself, almost mockingly. Kalani then replies, "Not always." Causing Ezra to scowl the two former enemies to stick to the present.

Behind some old supply crates now, Zeb proceeds to tell the Battle Droids to evacuate on their shuttles once the shells have exploded. Whom answered, ""Roger roger". Zeb then throws a grenade that knocks out an advancing AT-DP walker. Zeb then joins battle droids and droidekas in the attack while other droids roll the proton torpedoes. Putting their plan into action, Kalani orders his droids to fire at Ezra and Kanan, who then deflect the blasts at the proton torpedoes. The torpedoes explode and destroy the frontal legs of one of the AT-AT walkers; causing it to topple.

As the two Jedi block blaster bolts, Erza exclaims, ""This might be our only chance! Get to the ship!"

The battle droids then flee aboard two Neimoidian escort shuttles with the rebels following suit. One of the battle droids is accidentally knocked off the ramp of a shuttle. Rex tries to warn the first of the droid's shuttles to bank to the right. However, the shuttle is shot down by a second AT-AT walker. The remaining droids' shuttle and the rebels' shuttle managed to escape stormtrooper fire.

Having escaped into space, the rebels contact Kalani by hologram.

"We made it, General, do you read us?" asked Ezra.

"Affirmative, we have survived the battle, it was not a victory but a successful strategy, nonetheless."

"No, it was a victory, we all just won the Clone War and you ended Ezra. A galaxy of senators couldn't do that. An army of Jedi, clones and droid couldn't find the middle ground, but you did." As Captain Rex spoke in support to Ezra, while putting his hand on the boy's shoulder.

Ezra responds, "All I did that was point out that none of you meant to win. You couldn't.

"and we needed to hear it." Said Captain Rex

"Agreed, I am satisfied if you are, Captain." Said Kalani monotonously.

"I am"

"Very good. Now based upon this battle I calculate that you have less than a 1% chance of staging a successful rebellion against the Empire so this is where we must part ways." Responded Former Separatist General Kalani

"Roger roger." replies Ezra to the Former Separatist General promptly while saluting him.

The hologram ends.

The two Neimoidian shuttles are seen diverging on different paths, the Rebel shuttle joins the Ghost before jumping to hyperspace, while the other droid shuttle jumps as well, in the opposite direction.


Agamar

2 BBY

(Former) Separatist Shuttle

"B1-2345, take us to the nearest active Separatist stronghold. We need to review and gather our remaining forces. Engage in hyperspace." Said Kalani to one of his droid pilots.

The droid shuttle then enters hyperspace, leaving the Agamar Star System.

Currently in the shuttle, there are 6 droid occupants- 1 Super Tactical Droid, 2 Pilot B1 Battle Droids and 3 Standard B1 Battle Droids. There was supposed to be another shuttle full of B1 battle droids, but it was shot down by the second AT-AT walker on Agamar.

The droid general then turns around and looks at his other droids, "How much charge do all your batteries have now."

"100%"

"98"

"97"

"98"

"99"

"Good, it will take time before we find and regroup ourselves. Did you manage to secure the ship's memory core?"

"Yes, General."

"Good, when we establish ourselves, we can use it to rebuild the Separatist army. We will then fight the Galactic Empire. To survive."

"Roger roger"

As the shuttle continues to go to hyperspace, a beeping sound could be heard emitting from the dashboard.

"General, there appears to be a spatial anomaly in the hyperspace field. The anomaly is tearing into hyperspace as we speak. It is unknown how long the space around us is stable."

"Disengage, disengage now."

"We can't, it's too late. It's pulling us in."

Then it was darkness for them all.

12h00

Robert Jefferson is a 21-year janitor working at NASA, he is currently busy cleaning and mopping the floor around the observation computer for meteors and any extraterrestrial objects that may come close to earth. The person who was in charge of that station, was currently on lunch break. As he was busy wiping the screen and air dusting the keyboard, the computer starts beeping- indicating that an extraterrestrial object is coming close to Earth's orbit. Due to how small the object is, and that he is busy cleaning the screen and air dusting the keyboard- he mistaken it to be a speck of dust on the screen and when he was wiping it off, the "speck" of dust disappeared off screen. "Must have been a system glitch" or so he thought.


Edge of Earth's orbit…

One can quickly see a small rip in space appear, revealing a blueish tint, as it spits out a small shuttle hurling into towards Earth, before closing again as fast it appeared. The shuttle's trajectory is seen going towards the center of the world's largest continent- Africa.

18h00

Lulu, a 12 year old girl is seen making her way back to her home village after collecting fresh hot water from the nearby hot spring. She was supposed to be back way earlier, but she was distracted with playing with her friends. She needed to head back or else her father would die from his lung sickness, well that is what the village doctor said. The Warlord in the region won't allow the village to purchase the needed medicine or get help. Otherwise, we would have to give up our land and be forced into slave labor in the mines to get the needed medicine. We pleaded with the chief and that as long he is still with everyone, the village is fine. But he refuses too, as he wants to protect this village and everyone in it, like many chieftains before him.

As Lulu was walking through the jungle and back to the village, she notices a streak of light in the sky, a shooting star or so she thought.

As Lulu stops and closes her eyes, "I wish that my father and our village will be freed from the tyranny of this world. I wish for hope. Thank you."

Unknown to her, her wish will be granted.
