The death of General Grievous on Utapau, triggered a chain of events, that led to the fall of
the Jedi. On the planet of Coruscant, the mysterious Darth Sidious had been revealed
as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, confirming the worst fears of the Jedi, and their attempted
arrest failed. The Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker, had betrayed the Jedi order and Mace Windu,
in a desperate attempt to save his secret wife Padme Amidala, whom he believed to be
dying from his visions. Anointed as Sidious’ apprentice Darth Vader, the former Jedi knight
began a purge of the Jedi Temple, and is ably assisted by the execution of Order 66. The
clones across the galaxy turned upon the Jedi they had served under throughout the war,
and they either fell without warning or struggled for survival. One of those who had not been
immediately incinerated, had been the former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, who having sensed
the fall of her master, and had to deal with her special division of the 501st division
turning upon her. Using all of her skills, the initial resistance from her clone commander,
and the chaos caused by the Zabrak Maul, she managed to remove the inhibitor chip from
Rex, and together they tried to find a way out of the star destroyer. Ahsoka plans their
escape by having Rex try to appeal to ARC Trooper Jesse that as Ahsoka was not a Jedi,
she was not under the boundaries of Order 66, and they would be the ones committing
treason. The clone cannot convince his opposing clone trooper, and they have to fight their
way to a Y-Wing bomber, at the cost of everyone on board. But what if Rex had not been committing
treason, according to Jesse? Could they have stopped Maul? Would there still be any hope
for the Republic? As you are going to find out, the absence of treason, could have changed
the rising Empire… As Ahsoka and Rex stepped out into the hangar
bay, half of their minds are on the droids trying to drop the hangar’s elevators, as
the clone tries to convince Jesse that they could not use Order 66 on Ahsoka. The ARC
trooper valiantly resisted against the control chip, and dropped to his knees, as the other
clones also fell to the floor. Ahsoka ordered the droids to stop their actions on the hangar
bay, as Rex stunned all of the clone troopers as quickly as he could, as they then try to
wrestle control of the destroyer before it headed into the moon. In the chaos, Maul had
managed to make his way to the hangar, but he is stopped by Ahsoka, and they duelled
again. Rex ordered the former Jedi to let go of Maul, as they headed straight into the
surface of the moon, but as she tried to do so, the Republic attack shuttle that Maul
had wanted to use for an escape, floated out of the open hangar doors. The group have no
choice but to combine their efforts, and running to the bridge, Maul and Ahsoka use the Force
to try and bring the destroyer to a controlled stop. The speed of entry into the moon’s
atmosphere, did not help their cause, and the two Force users bore most of the impact,
as the ship crashed into the rocky terrain. Rex had been the first to awaken from the
crash landing, and around him the clone troopers were still stunned but alive, as he dragged
them one by one to the medical bay, to have their inhibitor chips removed. The survival
of the medical droid helps to speed up the process, and it allowed the clone to drag
Ahsoka from the charred wreck, as she coughed and spluttered back into life. The duo repaired
the Mandalorian cage that had housed Maul, and they place the broken body of the Zabrak
inside of it, in the event that he woke up, before heading back to the medical bay. The
clones all feel sore from their operations, and Jesse is apologetic for his attempts to
kill Ahsoka, and now they looked for transport off of the moon. Commander Rex looks at a
map of the moon, from the repaired holotable, but the entire area was nothing but miles
and miles of barren terrain. The 332nd company trudge outside, when Rex decides to take an
enormous risk, and try to reach any other clone troopers. At the time, most of the communication
lines, were filled with the voice of Emperor Palpatine, giving another speech condemning
the Jedi, and marking the new beginning for the Galactic Empire. But one remained open,
and the voice of clone sergeant Hunter on Kamino, is there to receive the pleas of his
fellow clone troopers. Having just witness Crosshair betray them, and rescued Omega,
Clone Force 99 diverted their Omicron class attack shuttle to the coordinates of Rex.
By the time they had arrived, the surface of the moon is covered in snow, and the clones
had been freezing to near death, using the embers of their star destroyer for warmth.
Clone Force 99 arrived to bring life back into Ahsoka’s division, as Rex then helped
to remove their control ships, and Ahsoka joined Tech in repairing as many of the broken
bombers as they could. The repairs are enough for all of the clones to leave the moon, and
Ahsoka expressed her wish to stay low for the foreseeable future, as she needed to time
to deal with the fall of her master, so the Jedi found her own path their initial intended
destination of Saleucami. But their adventure together, was not over.
