Deep in the mid rim, on the Icy world of Khorm, Jedi General Plo Koon and Kit Fisto, along
with Commander Wolffe are sent to destroy a separatist military base which was defended
by a horrific and deadly weather control station, which has created the worst storm on the planet
in decades.
Unfortunately, during the mission, one republic Commanding officer is confronted by the Dark
Apprentice of Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, and soon after falls into a deep panic, leaving
Commander Wolffe as the one to step up and take charge of the Clone Forces.
And yes, this is the same man that Darth Vader force choked to death in Empire Strikes Back,
Kendal Ozzel.
So before we dive into it, make sure you’re subscribed for more awesome Star Wars Lore
content.
The story begins in the midst of the battle of Khorm, where the separatist’s have constructed
an outpost in the Kafiri Mountain range on the planet.
They have placed a disastrous weather-control station at the top of their base, allowing
them to create deadly storms in order to protect the area from advancing republic forces.
This is also the same technology that would later go on to be used by Emperor Palpatine
after his death in the horrific operation cinder, which attempted to completely destroy
many imperial worlds using weather control stations, because Palpatine believed that
if the empire could not protect it’s emperor, then it did not deserve to exist.
Following this, the leader of the separatist forces on the planet, Warlord Unger Gout contacts
his technician, Villpu Nagg, informing him that a small Jedi strike force is on it’s
way to destroy the weather station.
In order to help the weather technicians to protect the station, he has dispatched Count
Dooku’s dark assassin, Asajj Ventress, along with a unit of Commando droids to eliminate
the Jedi strike force.
Gout then orders his weather technician to generate a massive storm, large enough to
kill the Jedi, despite the fact that Ventress will be killed also.
The engineer isn’t too happy with having to kill one of their own, Ventress, but Gout
quickly snaps back at him and says that if that makes him uncomfortable, then he should
start getting used to having less protection against the Jedi masters.
After that, we cut straight back to Plo Koon, where he tells Master Fisto that the storm
is intensifying very quickly, and that he can sense that the enemy knows the Jedi are
on their way.
Despite this, Fisto remains confident in the mission and soon after makes his way to the
edge of the mountain, where he is able to spot the weather control station.
Soon after, Plo Koon finally makes it up to the ledge with Kit Fisto, and Fisto jokingly
says “Glad you could join us, Master Plo.
This must be difficult for someone of your age.
Plo Koon sarcastically responds to this by saying “And what age might that be?”.
As the two Jedi and their Clone Troopers continue making their way across the icy ledge of the
mountain, they notice that the storm is getting even worse than it already is, but before
they can complain too much, a shadowy figure leaps out from above them, ambushing Plo Koon.
Luckily, Plo’s reflexes are far too quick to be caught off guard by this, leading him
to lock his blue lightsaber with Ventress’ unique, double curved red blade.
As Ventress focusses on General Plo, her Commando Droids leap down from the same ledge and ambush
the Clone Troopers of the 41st special operations division, before Kit Fisto Orders Captain
Sharp to hold them off.
The Clone Troopers of the 41st valiantly fight back the Vicious commando droids, and while
they do this, Kit Fisto and Plo Koon team up to take on Ventress.
The two demand that Ventress surrender immediately as she is outnumbered, but she refuses, leaping
away from them and using her force to pull an avalanche of snow down on the two Jedi.
After she does this, she inspects the helmet of a Clone Trooper from the 41st Special Ops
division buried in the snow, believing that her plan has succeeded.
Following this, we cut to Clone Trooper Comet and his brother working hard to to break their
way out of a holding cell, after they were captured by Ventress.
The Clones and Their Commanding Officer, Major Ozzel were interrogated by Ventress, where
the weak-minded Major revealed the Republic battle strategy, and told Ventress that the
Jedi were targeting the weather control station.
This obviously infuriated the Clone Troopers, leading them to be extremely angry with their
Major.
Ozzel tries to defend his actions, saying that he revealed the information to Ventress
in Order to save the Clone trooper’s lives, but Commander wolffe does not buy this, knowing
that he only did it to save his own life.
And thanks to that decision, the Jedi generals and Wolffe’s brothers are not in grave danger.
Ozzel then threatens Wolffe, telling him that he has friends in high places, obviously talking
about Palpatine, but the Clone Troopers brush this off and move out of their cell.
Obviously, Ozzel treats his Clones horribly and has no respect for them, believing that
they are expendable.
So make sure you let me know after you finish the story, do you think Vader was right to
kill Ozzel for his mistake in Empire Strikes Back.
His incompetence definitely goes a very, very long way back.
Moments later, they steal an armored assault Tank, and begin storming the hallways of the
agrocite processing facility, leading the B-1 Battle droid defence forces their to flail
around in a panic.
The cowardly Major Ozzel then declares to his men that “we’re not going to survive”,
but The Clone Troopers stay focusses, and ask Ozzel to man the guns.
As this is happening, the Commando droid who is overseeing the facility orders his units
to sound the alarm and make contact with Ventress.
As the ventress is inspecting more buried Clone Bodies, she sees a hand moving below
the snow, but before the brave soldier can pull himself up, she impales his hand with
her glowing red blade, ensuring that he will die under the snow.
Immediately after this, the B-1 battle droid makes contact with Ventress through hologram
and tells her about the situation with the escaping Clone troopers, and she is of course
furious, and begins to return to the processing centre.
Before she leaves however, she orders her squad of Commando droids to search for and
kill any survivors they come across.
As Ventress zooms off into the distance, one Clone Trooper rises from the Snow, firing
on the Commando droids, before Kit Fisto and the other men join him in quickly destroying
Ventress’ squad of Commandos.
As they do this, the Jedi then reveal that they used the force to create a pocket that
offered some protection.
Unfortunately however Master Plo has broken his arm, and the 41st has lost troopers Sten,
Deadeye, Blunt and Jark.
Even worse, the blast charges to destroy the weather station are missing.
Kit fisto then tells his men that under his command, they may die.
But they will never die needlessly.
Soon after, the group are warmed by massive ice worms, called Aelida, which the natives
ride inside to travel the mountains.
The Jedi and Clones then enter, awaiting transport to the weather control station.
Meanwhile, Ozzel and his clones are bursting through the droid defence forces, leading
him to order the Clones to move away from the area through the tiny gap.
The troopers protest this, because they have the Droid on the defensive, but Ozzel firmly
warns them that he is still in command, ensuring that they leave the area.
As Ventress finally arrives at the weather control station, the ice worms deliver the
Jedi and their men to a nearby mountain, but they are unable to destroy the station, because
they lost the blast charges in the avalanche.
Plo Koon suggests that there is a way to use the enemy’s weapon against itself and destroy
*this location*.
Captain Sharp is confused by this, asking “But sir, aren’t we standing on this location,
to which Plo Koon hilarious responds “very perceptive Captain.
After the realization washes over him, Sharp simply says “I like it.
There’s hope for you Jedi yet, realizing that they are attempting to direct the storm
over the control station, making it destroy itself.
Cutting Back to Ozzel and Wolffe, his men welcome them back, believing that they were
death, before he immediately demands that they return to Orbit.
Commander Wolffe suggests that they contact the Jedi first, but Ozzel brushes this off
and tells him hardly that the Jedi are dead.
“You can join me in winning this battle- or mourn the dead and the end of your career.
Yeah, Ozzel is not the best leader at all.
Immediately following this, the Droid forces begin plowing towards the Clone Troopers with
their tanks and vehicles, firing on them, and leading Ozzel into a massive Panic.
Being very scared, Ozzel demands to known where the heavy armor is, but Wolffe tells
him that it was destroyed in the first offensive.
At this point, the cowardly, dumb officer simply admits that he has no idea what to
do, before asking Commander Wolffe.
This leads Commander Wolffe to Grav Ozzel and order his men to fall back to the transports
While this is happening, Sharp and Fixer are able to hack into the weather Control systems,
moving the storm right on top of the station, immediately destroying it into a large fireball.
Back with Ozzel and Wolffe, Ventress is slicing Clone troopers in half, absolutely decimating
their forces, leading Ozzel to sheepishly call for a surrender, but he doesn’t have
the guts to tell Ventress himself.
Ozzel demands that Wolffe call out their surrender to Ventress, but he simply tells him “Tell
her yourself, sir.
Finally, republic reinforcements arrive from Orbit, bailing out Ozzels men and leading
Ventress to a full retreat.
As this happens, Ozzel arrogantly says “I’d say my plan worked flawlessly.
Commander, Relay my congratulations to the Jedi, IF they’re still alive.
Plo Koon does manage to respond to this and is very glad to hear that Wolffe is alive
and well.
Unfortunately their task is not complete, and they still must recapture the argocite
processing station, where the weather control tower was placed on top of.
And that is all covered in part two of this comic, which you can watch by clicking on
screen now.
That is also the event where Commander Wolffe Loses his eye, so make sure to check that
out.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one.
