Galactic war! As the Clone Wars rage on, many systems join the Separatist Alliance! As the war rages, many Jedi fall in combat, but more train in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The droid armies grow greater in number each day, as do the Republic's Clone army!
In the Jedi Temple, a Jedi Master, Master Theredil, a Pantoran, walked with his apprentice, a new Jedi Knight. "I am proud to see that you have passed the trials, my apprentice." he said. Theredil was a Jedi Consular, and wore brown robes over his pale tunic.

"Thank you Master." A twi'lek female says with a nod, her brown cloak covering her own brown and white tunic. "It means so much to hear that." The blue skin colored twi'lek says with a smile, glad about today even if it was a challenge.

"I recall the times I faced the trials, myself." Theredil said, leading his apprentice down the hall.

The twi'lek raised an eyebrow. "And what trials did you have to take master? Or were they the same of mine?" The blue woman, named Sortaka, asks honestly.

"All the trials are the same, Sortaka, but each one's are unique to themselves." Theredil replied.

Sortaka nodded, not knowing that bit of information. "I understand master." She says with a nod, continuing to walk next to a master. "Is it alright if I ask how your trial was unique?" She asks, not sure if all the 'unique' aspects of each trial was supposed to be kept a secret or anything.

"Those were times of past." Theredil replied. "As you no doubt read in your training, the trials are unique to their events, yet the same for all Jedi."

"I understand master." Sortaka says, twirling the tip of one of her tentacles with a finger, a little habit that she has for either being nervous or because of an awkward silence given she doesn't know what to talk about.

"We must hurry, now. We've been assigned to fight with the 212th Attack Battalion on Kashyyk. The Separatists have decided to attack the Wookies." Theredil gave his apprentice a smile, his lightsaber in hand.

Sortaka gasped. "Their attacking the Wookies?" She asks, grabbing her lightsaber from her hip. "Why are they attacking the wookies? Their fluffy and happy, one of my friends is a wookie." She huffs. "We must hurry master." The twi'lek says, wanting to head off as soon as possible.

"Have patience, my apprentice." Theredil replied. "We mustn't let emotions and bonds cloud our judgement." Theredil led Sortaka to the speeder hangar in the temple, getting into the Republic cruiser that would take them to the hangar where they would then be transported to the Venator.

Sortaka took a deep breath. "Yes master." She says before getting into the speeder along with Theredil.

When they arrived at the transport, they were greeted by the commander of the 212th Legion, Commander Marsh. "General, Commander." "Sortaka is no longer a Padawan, she is now a Knight. Sortaka walks the path of the Sentinel." Theredil said. "Aye, sir. Briefing will occur momentarily, on board the capital ship." Commander Marsh said, saluting the two before hopping into the LAAT.

Sortaka hopped into the LAAT, ready to start her first mission as a jedi knight. The twi'lek twirled one of her tentacles again, feeling nervous about what the briefing will entail about the Wookies.

The LAAT took the Jedi aboard the Venator class ship. "Commander Marsh, if you can show us to the briefing room, that would be appreciated." "Yes sir, General." Commander Marsh took the two Jedi to the briefing room below the bridge.
The ship's admiral, Admiral Yune, stood in front of the 212th attack battalion that were brought for the mission, recognizing the two Jedi. "Generals Theredil and Sortaka will be leading us, for this attack. The Separatist army is attacking the Wookies in order to gain access to the planet's oils. The leader we'll be meeting, Torfana, has requested help. "The Separatists have employed Heavy Weapons Super Battle Droids, along with Tank Droids and Dwarf Spider Droids." Admiral Yune explained.

"Have the left flank continue advancing, keep their attentions off the J-1 batteries setting up. Reinforce the right flank with the new squadron of B2s that just came in." A voice spoke to the T-series before him. "And I want those scouts dealt with before they find the J-1s. Need to have a surprise for our...associates that will be coming soon. Dismissed." The T-series droids nodded as they walked away, leaving the man alone to look over the hologram of the fields. "Associates? Rather fond words for interlopers." "Please, we all know what will be coming. I'm looking forward to a challenge." He chuckled.

"Well that's not good." She frowns. "We better move fast before they can set up something bigger...where are they right now? And which direction are they marching?" She asks, hoping to stop this at it's roots quickly.

Aside stood a cloaked being, hood draped over their long face. "You seem confident in your Droid army. It is possible this will not work in your favor. My mastuh would not be glad if Me has to deliver a failure as a reports." They spoke in a strange dialect, as is expected with many other alien species. "We'll be jumping to Hyperspace shortly." Admiral Yune said. "Other than that, expect there to be heavy resistance both from aerial and ground assaults." Theredil stroked his silver beard, nodding. "I sense that Grievous will be there. I'm sure of it."

"Well that's only going to make this all the more wonderful." She says sarcastically, knowing full well about the general of the separatist army and how many jedi he's killed.

"Confident in the droids? Not in the least. My strategies on the other hand, I have far more trust in." The voice replied. "For now though, let them struggle."

After a few minutes of preparation, the ship made the jump to hyperspace. This was done as soon as they left Coruscant's orbit. The ride took no more than what felt like an hour. During this free period, Theredil meditated. "I sense something, my apprentice. General Grievous is on the Kashyyk system. If you see him, do not engage him."

"Yes master." Sortaka nods, knowing how dangerous Grevious is and only knowing a few jedi that has actually fought him and lived, and even then their masters. "Let's just hope we make it in time."

Theredil walked to Admiral Yune, asking him, "Where will we be landing?" "You'll take several ships down to a region just north of the beach head that houses the oil refinery we're defending." Yune replied. He pulled up a holomap of the area, pointing toward a red dot in a large forested area. "This is where the Wookies requested us to meet with them." "Seems odd, but we will agree with their wishes if we want to keep peaceful relations." Theredil replied.

"What seems odd master?" Sortaka asks, knowing that the sepratists were attacking for the oil on the planet but wondering what seemed odd to Theredil.

"Sir, our long-range have picked up a ship. The IFF isn't ours." "Send word to the J-1s. Prepare for landers, and track where they're landing. Alternating barrages, and get the defense groups up there. The moment they realize we've got J-1s they're going to try and take them out." The voice spoke. "The J-1s are a trap, either they lose troops taking them out or lose troops to the barrages." "That is always the strategy with artillery. The question is, how many troops are they willing to lose in order to take them out. I intend to make that number unfeasibly large." The voice said. "Hence why I've got the defense groups."

"The Wookies are a proud kind, very brave. It seems odd to me that they would wish to meet us in the middle of the forest." Theredil said. He began walking to the hangar bay, taking the nearest elevator. "I shall meet with the Wookies, Sortaka. You stay with the ship until I signal you."

"Yes master." Sortaka nods, bowing to her master. "The forest is a good place to sneak up on your opponents, even if their droids..." She thinks to herself, standing up and looking back at the map. "There has to be a reason. Maybe their being pushed? Their ready to ambush them just in case?" She thinks to herself, getting a stern look on her face as she mulled over why they would be in the forest of all places, or why they asked for them to land in the forest.

The ship began to slowly enter the orbit of the planet. "All ships, prepare to land." said Admiral Yune over the PA system. "Charlie 5, ready for take off." said one of the pilots. One by one, all the pilots began calling in, and were promptly ordered to take off. They left the hangar bay, each LAAT flying after the other.

"Be careful master, I sense they have something special cooked up if you have to land in the forest." She says to Theredil over a com system. "I know they could attack from the ground up to the air...or use air fighters to attack them while in transit...too many possibilities not to mention this could all the a trap." The Twil'lek thinks to herself, not sure what problem might arise and taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and her thought filled mind.

"Open fire as the ships enter range, barrage orders. When you're done, either they're out of range or there are no ships left, turn to barraging the known enemy positions." The voice spoke. "You are to keep firing until you run out of ammunition or you are destroyed. Leave the defense to the guards I've deployed."
