Yeah, so hi! Nightstripe here. Sorry the prologue was a bit short, but Moonstar and I felt like it was a good intro. Well, what I'm here to say is I normally write Warriors, and it's cool to be doing this. Hope you guys like it! Oh! Here is the link to the name generator I used for Ryast: starwarsnameandtitlegenerator/

Chapter 1

Ryast

Ryast's ship shot through the atmosphere of the planet. According to the navigator, the planet was called Aicrillon, but he hadn't heard of it. Anywhere is better than where I came from, he thought.

He had been on the planet Rannon with the rest of the Jedi trainees, but at the first sign of an attack on the Temple, he had stolen a Delta-7B Aethersprite class Jedi Light Interceptor ship and ran away. He still blamed himself for his cowardly actions, but above all, he did not want to die.

A blaring sound coming from the ship's console interrupted his thoughts. Ryast looked, and the proximity alarm was going off. He looked out of the cockpit just in time to swerve and pull up the ship from crashing into a large building. He flinched when he heard a horrible scraping sound as his wing glanced the wall of the building.

Although he had avoided crashing, the building had done its damage. The console showed that both engines were malfunctioning, and when Ryast looked back, he saw a trail of sparks following the starship.

That was a reminder to him not to immerse himself in his thoughts again though, seeing as it had almost gotten him killed. In a desperate attempt to keep flying, Ryast quickly punched a series of buttons that transferred emergency power to the engines.

Ryast knew that he wasn't going to be able to land the ship, but he wanted to keep it in the air.

Ryast checked the engine's power level and gasped in alarm. That's only enough for about 45 seconds left of flight! He activated the scanner to scan for life-forms, not wanting to be found and not wanting to hurt anybody. The coast was clear, except for three solitary life-forms in the top range of the scan.

With the Light Interceptor quickly losing power, Ryast grabbed his lightsaber, communicator, and a backpack containing supplies. As he scored over the desert, he saw many dunes, lots of wrecked and crashed spaceships, and more junk.

That reminded him of the Jedi Temple. When the assault had started, it had been chaos. Laser blasts raining down from the sky and armor-clad troopers landing to kill the Jedi. Some of the most brave Jedi had faced the troopers, but most had run. And almost all of the Jedi, whether they had run or fought, died.

And almost all of the Jedi, even the padawans like Ryast had felt a presence leading the forces from above. It was the presence of a Sith.

Ryast had taken one look at the swarm of fighters above them and the troops landing and taken off. He had run past his fellow Jedi being captured and slaughtered. He went inside the temple, into the hangar. He was ignoring the cries of all of the Jedi, but in the commotion Ryast didn't think anyone had noticed him.

The first ship he saw was luckily one he knew how to pilot from his training, even though it looked like an older model than the one he was used to. Reaching out to the Force, Ryast pried open the latches that held the cockpit in place, and it opened. He jumped in.

When Ryast examined the interior of the ship, he saw that it was a class 7-B Light Interceptor. That was definitely flyable! Ryast prepared the hyperdrive and launched off.

Ryast was jolted back to the present by a sudden drop in altitude. The engines had failed. The ship plummeted down to the sands of the planet.

As the ship collided with the ground, Ryast blacked out.
