"There was a hushed silence about the room now. Unlike many of the younglings gathered in the chamber, Salem understood with perfect clarity what had just been said – yet it was difficult to accept. Not because of any sense of sadness, but rather because of the sheer scale of it. To have lost that many Jedi, in a single battle, seemed absolutely impossible – they were all better than that, surely. At least, that was what Salem had always believed. They were supposed to be unstoppable..."

Roleplays

The Beginning of the End

CORUSCANT, JEDI TEMPLE, 26 BBE. The story begins with the assembly of all the Jedi at the Temple in Coruscant: the younglings, the padawans, the many Jedi returned from various missions, the teachers and the staff. They all convene in the great hall in order to hear some news. Some have premonitions, some are totally oblivious and innocent - and some already know what has befallen their comrades. It's the day of the Dead. The day of a hundred and seventy or more fallen Jedi. The birth hour of the war later known as the Clone Wars, where Republic will fight against Confederacy, clone soldier against droid. And where many Jedi will perish. But at this hour, they do not know the consequences yet. At this hour, it's up to the Council and the few senior Jedi at the temple to deal with the shock and surprise of this terrible gaping hole in the ranks of the Jedi - delivered by none other than who was once one of their greatest members, Count Dooku.

Spoils of War

GEONOSIS, ARENA OF POGGLE THE LESSER, 26 BBE. In the aftermath of the Battle of Geonosis, two Clone commandos, grieving for their fallen comrades, are caught up in the affairs of the Jedi. While a Jedi padawan shows them compassion and understanding, they soon find out about the other side of the coin when they encounter the dark side of a Jedi. The soldiers and the Jedi have to learn to work together, and bury their misgivings about one another, in order to survive and find the Jedi's wife. For is a Jedi not also just another man, and cannot he have the right to fear for the life of a loved one, and grieve for her loss as everyone else? And can two men so alike each other in every aspect, born and bred with single purpose into an army of millions of brothers, not have the right to grieve for their lost, too?
