Darkness and light. Fear and hope. Justice and crime. That is the way Naboo now works, for every spot of light there is two dark, for every fearful person, there is five more hopeful people, for every piece of justice given there is another twenty crimes. War crimes are the most common, from friendly fire to the execution of innocent people the range spreads but all of the three faction's have their own agenda.
Galen realised this many months ago, when the war was still fresh and seen as a riot. The flames that Galen had encountered that day have long since been extinguished but the memory of fire, loss and a death by fire has not been it still lingers in the recesses of Galen's mind, in the sub-conscious of Kento's mind in Leia's active mind and in Syen's fearful segment of himself. The only person who does not carry the invisible scars of warfare is the conductor of the Empire, Cye. Although he may seem as though he has a weakness, he does not. Although he may seem to care for his son and ex-partner he does not, or does he?


The news had shaken Juno to the core, she wasn't expecting this. A HoloCall? Was that all she was worth? Couldn't he of at least waited to speak with her directly so that no one need know? She stood like a statue, shock had taken over and she wasn't sure whether it was a blessing or a curse, she sat down.
"When did Doctor Kinlo call?" Juno asked Kenan.
"Not long after you had left."
"Why didn't you try to raise me on my com? Or on the pilot's frequency?!"
"I tried the PF but I didn't know whether to com you, you were with Galen after all."
"Galen's my husband, I don't need to justify my health to him."
"Your acting as though you've caught Toli-X."
"I'm sorry it's just a shock."
"Well from the way Galen describes Kento's conception it isn't the first shock pregnancy you have had Juno."
"Yes but back then we didn't have Caleb. We didn't have two kids, we had one and wanted another."
"So? What has changed Juno? Caleb is a clone and a adult no less, you shouldn't be thinking negatively. When my wife was alive..."
"I'm sorry Kenan."
"It's ok. As I was saying if Bethany was still here I'd be a Father now and if she told me she was pregnant after the twin's I would have still been happy."
"I know it's hard for you Kenan."
"I.. It's ok, she's... one with the force as the Jedi Knight told me at the time."
"Why didn't you turn him in?"
"I was a young Imperial officer, I didn't want to take him down, he was so... peaceful. Normal even, I still don't believe that a man like him could betray the Old Republic."

A stair nearby creaked. Juno automatically knew that it was Galen, she knew he knew and she didn't actually care, at least he had learnt about the baby sooner rather than later.

"Gal, it's ok. Come down."
"I'm sorry I was just so worried then I heard Doctor and I couldn't help myself."
"Galen, were having a baby, and he or she will be beautiful just like Kento."
"You've changed your tune." Kenan muttered.
"I know that as Kento is but..." Galen trailed off
"But?"
"Nothing, I can't think if any butts." Galen lied easily.
"Then it's decided, were having a baby!" Juno exclaimed and jumped on Galen.
"Yeah, we are."

'The similarities cannot be a coincidence. That baby is Kento's sibling, most likely the Sith. So this is how hell begins? With a baby being conceived to loving parent's yet somewhere, somehow being corrupted, maybe if I raised him in the Jedi Temple things could turn out differently. No I mustn't interfere. I mustn't forget that the future is open to some changes but the ultimate goal of the force will be achieved either way, whether its this baby or not I vow I will not interfere.' Galen thought as his wife embraced him.

The day went by quickly and so Galen found himself in bed beside his wife, she soon fell asleep but he lay awake pondering what could happen to his destiny, what he might cause, what his child might think of him, the answers eluded him, he lay there for three standard hours before the alarm was raised and he had to leave to fight in the war he had managed to back-line.

He dressed quickly in silence and clipped his combat belt on with ease, he then holstered his small gun and clipped his lightsaber onto his belt at the back. He tucked his shirt in then slid on his boots and gloves before picking up a transparent orange disk. He tapped a code into the tiny disk and then it began to transform, evolve almost into a helmet, it was dark grey with a black visor, he could see through it but the enemy couldn't, he then put the helmet on and locked the visor into place like a mask.

The wind whipped at him almost as soon as he left the house but he couldn't feel it's cold chill as his uniform reflected his body heat to keep him warm on command. He didn't want to leave his home and pregnant Wife but the White War had to come first sometimes although he didn't want it too.

The new command centre, Compound GM, in honour of Galen becoming a Admiral, it wasn't far, it was 100 clicks behind the house, so Galen had to use the backdoor, he jogged as quickly as he could against the powerful wind, the found that he was no longer alone.


"M'lord, Your forces have penetrated the front lines of the Rebel Clone's lines and are engaging the Civilanists."
"Send the KM units to reinforce the Storm Troopers, lay them out in a ten by twenty formation, arm them with the heavy cannons I have designed, make sure their armour is tough enough to withstand ten shots."
"Aye Sir."
"And commander?"
"Yes M'lord?"
"Remember, they are not to take their helmets off on world."
"Of course M'lord."

Cye smirked darkly as he watched his favourite Commander leave to do his bidding. Zoaski had been his favourite since he took power as Zoaski had helped him in the early days and had built every weapon he'd designed and every order Cye had given him had been completed to the letter.

"Lieutenant, send the Grand Moff's to my Throne Room."
"Sir, yes Sir."
"Have them with me within half an standard hour."
"Yes Sir!"


They put their new armour on. They were shinnies to the Storm Troppers even though they out ranked them, they locked their helmets into place and stood to attention, they had been trained on Kamino vigorously and knew exactly what their mission entitled, 'To drive back the Civilanist's long enough for their brother unit KM742 to breach the Civilianist's latest compound and destroy it, then they are to do the same with the Rebel Clones.'

The weapons arrived on schedule as expected, then they were deployed to Naboo and landed fifty clicks from their target.
