# Star Wars: Outlaws
A few days have passed since the Naboo negotiations. The Knights were waiting for Mar to arrive with the other Jedi. Jefro was sitting at a table with Zenun as they were planning what to do next on a map.
"Tatooine has a small Sith outpost." Jefro said.
"Dandoran has a Republic base for vehicles." Zenun said.
"I say we hit the Republican base." Neeux said as he walked in.
"Could possibly steal some for ourselves too." Jefro added.
"I do have a transport barge back on Coruscant if one of you can take me there." Codan suggested.
"Sounds good." Jefro said.
"When Mar arrives I'll take his ship and head there with Codan." Neeux said.
"Alright but we'll have to do it soon before they resupply." Jefro said as a ship could be heard.
"Must be Mar." Zenun said. They walked out of their command center and out into the courtyard as the ship descended. Mar came out the back followed by at least fifteen other Jedi. Mar walked up and said, "Well, what do you think?"
"Just fine. We have our first objective." Jefro said.
"Oh, and what is it?"
"A small Republican vehicle factory on Dandoran." Jefro said.
"Our first strike against the Republic." Mar said.
"Yes. Neeux needs your ship to take Codan to Coruscant so he can get his transport ship."
"Fine by me." Mar said.
"Neeux, get going."
"We'll be back in a couple hours." Neeux said as he boarded the ship, followed by Codan.
"Is that a bounty hunter?" Mar asked.
"Yes, don't worry. He's on our side." Jefro said.
"Right." Mar said. Jefro took a second look at the Jedi and said to Mar, "Uh, Mar?"
"Yes?"
"Do they look a little... young to you?" Jefro asked.
"They're all Padawans or use to be Padawans." Mar said.
"Padawans?!" Zenun said.
"Easy, Zenun. We need followers and this is a good start even if they are young." Jefro said. He turned to Mar and said, "See them to the quarters, two per room, and then bring them to the training grounds."
"Yes. Jedi, follow me!" Mar said as he walked off followed by the young Jedi. Zenun turned to Jefro and said, "We need a larger force to be able to do something."
"I know. We'll develop scouts to talk to the other Jedi around the galaxy." Jefro said.
"Sounds like a good plan. We should start right away." Zenun suggested.
"Then let's start." Jefro said. They walked to the training room just before Mar brought the Jedi. Once all were inside the training room Jefro spoke and said, "We need to spread the word faster. You all know why you're here. We need a few Jedi Scouts to be trained and help spread the word. Any volunteers?" Six Jedi raised their hands. "Very well you six step forward. As for everyone else you are free to mediate and use the resources around you to reach your full potential. I know you are only Padawans and this is asking a lot but we need everyone and anyone. So for all of you here we welcome you. Welcome to the Jedi Order."
The Jedi clapped and cheered before dissolving in different directions. The six that raised their hand remained as Zenun said, "You all will be the first of the Jedi Scouts. Your training starts now." As Zenun began training the scouts Jefro walked off with Mar, talking. He led him into the command room and said, "These scouts will help spread the word faster. This planet, because its so remote, should be a good capital for us."
"What should our capital be?" Mar asked.
"Javoiskk? Unique like our cause?" Jefro suggested.
"Sounds perfect." Mar said.
"Good. Now we are the Jedi Order. We will prevail." Jefro said. Just then the hologram lit up. Jefro walked over and pushed the button revealing that it was Senator Dellos.
"Senator, what is it?"
"Good news, senator Maron Roovste has agreed to finance your revolution." Dellos said.
"You told another senator? We can't be trusting loose ears, senator." Jefro said.
"Relax, Senator Roovste has a great dislike for the Republic so he is to be trusted."
"As long as he can. I am sure you know what you are doing." Jefro said.
"I am. Where can we meet to discuss further actions?" Dellos asked.
"Come to Amarin. Here's the coordinates." Jefro said as the coordinates popped up on the hologram.
"We should be there in a couple days." Dellos said.
"See you then." Jefro said before the hologram went out. He turned to Mar when Zenun came in with one of the scouts, a twi'lek. "Jefro, this is, uh... what was your name again?"
"Eyuwmihi, or just Eyu for short." the twi'lek said.
"Very well, Eyu. Zenun, what's this about?" Jefro said.
"Nothing really. She's just the most capable of the scouts as of now. Just thought you should know."
"Good." Jefro said before turning his gaze back to Eyu and saying, "So, Eyu, are you ready for your first task?"
"Yes, I'm ready." She said.
"Very well. Pick someone else and travel to Alderaan and look for Ragnarok. He's another Knight. Convince him." Jefro said.
"Yes, as soon as transport arrives." Eyu said. Jefro nodded as she turned and left. Jefro turned to Mar and Zenun and said, "That's another problem. We have very few transport available."
"Well let's wait for the senators to come." Mar said.
"Seems wise. Now we wait for Neeux and Codan." Jefro said.
Neeux returned with Mar's ship quickly as Codan followed close by. As both ships touched down Jefro and Zenun approached. Neeux walked out of the Everhawk and said, "So, we ready to go?"
"Indeed." Jefro said. He turned to Mar who was standing behind him and said, "You and the rest get in the freighter. Eyu, take Mar's ship and do what I asked. We strike now." Jefro said as he boarded the Everhawk with Neeux and Zenun. All three ships ascended away.
Dandoran was a few hours travel from Amarin. The ships landed a few miles from the factory. The forests of Dandoran were much like the ones on Amarin except colder. The Knights came to a tree line just before the factory. As they stopped, Jefro turned to Zenun and Neeux and said, "Take a few of the others and attack from the sides. Mar, attack from the back. You two with me." The Knights scattered about in the tree line to get in their places when Jefro and his Knights stepped out of the tree line. The soldiers guarding the factory didn't think much until they got closer. One guard yelled out, "You, who are you?" Jefro didn't say anything. The guard repeated his question, this time drawing his blaster. Jefro raised his hand and tossed the guard aside against a pile of metal creates. The other guard quickly tried to raise his blaster when the other two Knights force pushed him into the metal doors. Zenun, Neeux, and Mar began their own assault. Blasters and repeater rifles began firing from above. Neeux saber threw his lightsaber at the two turrets hindering his squad as it sliced the turrets, and the guards manning them, in half. Zenun had his fair share of infantry as he and his squad battled the oncoming soldiers. Zenun deflected the blaster fire of one soldier while piercing his lightsaber in another and using the force on another two by slamming them together. The other Knights handled the rest of the soldiers, who were no match. Once the outside was clear and the storage hangers were opened, the Knights stormed the inside. Jefro, Zenun, and Neeux all walked mindlessly of the bodies flying around and the ongoing battle that was happening around them as they made their way to the factory's officer quarters. The doors were shield shut as Jefro used both hands with the Force to pry the door open slowly as sparks flew from the edges. Once the door was finally open, a Jedi Master laid inside and force pushed Jefro into a wall down the hall as Zenun and Neeux drew their sabers. The Jedi Master said, "Outlawed Jedi, eh? Whatever you plan on doing won't be worth your efforts."
"Who are you?" Zenun asked.
"Master Quinto." he said. Jefro slowly got up and drew his saber before returning to where they stood and said, "Master, you must know what the Republic is doing is wrong."
"What the Republic is doing is best for the Republic." Master Quinto said.
"Yes, but not for its people or the Jedi." Jefro said.
"The Republic has been corrupted." Zenun added. Master Quinto stared and said, "If your minds are set, fine." He used his Force to bring down a large cylinder pipe onto the Knights but the Knights used their own to counter the falling metal. By the time they avoided the pipe, Master Quinto was gone.
"Where could he have gone?" Zenun asked.
"Back to the capital city I'm sure." Jefro said.
"Then we should find him!" Neeux said.
"And start an all out war with resources we don't have? No, not until the senators arrive. Until then lets do what we came to do and salvage some vehicles." Jefro said. The three Knights returned to the bottom floor to oversee the loading.
