A/N: Just another preview for my SW story, Fall of the Republic. Enjoy!
In the center spire on top of the Jedi Temple was a large circular chamber with six seats on the edge. Inside, a council of the six wisest Jedi Masters in the entire Order would meet to discuss the status of the Jedi Order and the Republic. Now, was such a time as the six Jedi Masters sat in their respective chairs in the chamber, discussing the recent assassination of Chancellor Valorum.
The council of Jedi were comprised of two humans, one Kel-Dor, and two Twi'lek. Each one of these masters wore the typical uniform of Jedi, which consisted of a brown robe and white tunic with their lightsabers hanging from their brown belts. Though they were of different species, these masters were powerful in the Force and met in the chamber to discuss something of great importance.
"This news of the Chancellor's death is troubling," said the Kel-Dor male named Plo Koon. "What motives did this assassin have to assassinte the Chancellor?"
"For money what else," a red-skinned male Twi'lek named Braka sneered. "All bounty hunters are the same-give some money and their willing to throw their lives away for it."
One Jedi Master, a dark-skinned human male named Mace Windu simply shook his bald head and stared his blue eyes at the other members. "No, there's something more than that," Mace stated with some urgency in his voice. "I sense the Dark Side is involved. Surely you have not sensed it as well?"
Some of the other Masters nodded at that, agreeing that they all sensed a small hint of the Dark Side, surrounding this event, but they had nothing to prove it. However, the fair-skinned human woman with brown hair and green eyes simply shook off the moment of silence and stepped into the conversation. "What ever the case may be, we must not interfere in this," the woman said, gaining the attention . "The Jedi Order has suffered enough for the Republic as it, during these bloody conflicts."
"What do you propose we should do, Master Sakara?" a green-skinned, female Twi'lek named Alya asked.
Sakara's eyes shifted from one Master to another within the council chamber, wondering what reaction her next words were going to cause. Sighing, she finally answered, "If the Republic can no longer sustain itself, then we shall must take it in our own hands to do so."
The other Jedi Masters on the council whipped their heads towards Sakara with shocked and outraged looks on their faces at her suggestion. Plo Koon was the first to do so, as he stood up from his chair and pointed towards the female human Jedi Master. "Master Sakara, what you just said goes against who we are!" Plo Koon objected. "We are to serve the Republic, not govern it!"
"Sit down, Plo Koon!" Braka sternly shouted. Plo Koon gave the red-skinned Twi'lek a small glance before giving and sitting down in his seat. When the Kel-Dor Jedi did, Braka turned to Sakara and questioned, "Why do you propose such a thing? We do not have enough Jedi to protect Corusant, let alone govern an entire galaxy."
"It is the only way ensure the survival of this Order," she argued. "Can't you see that this may cause the death of the Jedi Order?"
There was a moment of silence as the other council members tried to take in Sakara's words and process them through their minds. After many moments, the silenced was broken. "I can not argue there, Sakara," came from Mace Windu, gaining the others' attentions. "But I suggest we use caution, for now. We can not do anything until the Senate has become incapable of governing the star systems. When that happens, we shall step in."
"Very well," Braka nodded.
The other Master nodded in agreement, Sakara somewhat hesitantly, for she was not sure how Mace Windu's suggestion may turn out. For, the Masters would have to keep a close eye on the Senate to see if it was falling a part and if it was, then the Jedi would move in to fix the problem. However, they were all unaware of the dark forces that surrounded the Senate and of what destruction they may bring...
