This is the prologue for a secret fan fiction I have been planning for a year. Originally this was a much longer prologue but I have spent more than a week writing it and want to get something out so I can work on the next chapter of TTO343. Prologue : An attack on Coruscant seemed unthinkable. Before the attack it looked like the Galactic republic would finally have victory and the Clones wars were coming to an end. They had Dooku, Grievous and the entire Separatist council on their back foot in the Outer rim, on the edge of defeat, victory appeared just days away. But everyone was wrong…. Using secret hyperspace routes though the deep core provided by Darth Sidious himself, the dreaded General Grievous had gathered as many ships as he could muster and launched a surprise attack on Coruscant. At first the attack by the Separatist seemed like a last ditch attempt to end the war, but it was not that. The true purpose was to capture Supreme chancellor Palpatine, and the Separatist has succeeded. Despite the best efforts of the Jedi and the Red guard they have been outmanoeuvred by Grievous. Now the Chancellor was in enemy hands, help captive onboard Grievous flagship, the Invisible hand. All communications from Coruscant were jammed by Separatist ships, until a ragtag team of Jedi lead by famed Jedi Master Saesee Tiin had managed to get past the jammer range and send a message all across the Holonet from their Starfighters. Far and wide the message went, the news was out, Coruscant was under attack. Within only a few hours thousands of Republic ships from all across the Galaxy, even as far as the Outer rim came to Coruscant in its time of need. A Venator class star destroyer named the Unity was just one of those ships to accept the call… ********************************************************************* Lucas stood on the bridge of the Unity, silently looking out of the large glass window in front of him, at the blurred shaded corridor that was Hyperspace. Beside Lucas was his old Padawan, now Jedi knight, Meetra. It seemed just a few hours ago when he was first instructing her on the basics of Ataru in the Jedi temple that was how the two of them first met, and had that day become Master, and apprentice. Meetra was now a master at Ataru and had passed the Jedi knight trials with great success. One day Lucas hoped he would become a Jedi master. But he was thinking too far ahead, he had only trained one apprentice after all, some Jedi Knights had trained three pupils and still not been granted mastery. But those cases were rare. After all, as master Yoda would say, becoming a Jedi master means mastering ones self and Lucas felt he had not quite achieved that yet. On Lucas right was Rear Admiral Galen dominia, Galen was a very cautious man, not willing to commit to anything unless it was the only option or the odds were close in his favour. To and extent it was a constant frustration to Lucas. Most of the time the Jedi were the overly cautious ones and the Republic admirals were the overly risky ones, but this time it was the other way around, at least that was what Lucas thought. “Sixty seconds till we reach Coruscant Admiral” One of the Clone Navigators informed Galen from one of the two trench like holes between the walkways on the Unity’s bridge. “Good, have all Pilots standing by for immediate departure, I expect we will be in the middle of a warzone as soon as we arrive” Galen replied back. “Yes Admiral” Another Navigator said as he relayed the order to a communications officer. Lucas was counting in his head as the seconds went by” 20, 19, 18 ,17, Lucas took a second to glance at Meetra, he could tell, like him she was counting the seconds they had left till they arrived at Coruscant. 9, 8, 7, 6, Lucas took a deep breath as the remaining second passed...
