The following days would have any and all supplies pulled from the ship, anything of use was removed from the ship. They would need to move everything to a better location, the mountain they were on was good, in hiding, but they had a lot of work for every bit of fresh water and new food supplies. 

With Vetra and Haelon also causing problems down in the town, one they should learn the name of, they would decide, with a group vote, they would help the town, with all of their ability, it was the way of the Jedi.

The Jedi, and Troopers would travel down to the town. Jedi Master Vetra spoke first.

"People. We are here to defend you. We ask that you to go up to that hill top, and stay there. Take the supplies you need, and Items of value. We will fight off the enemy, as they come here." He announced, using the translation matrix that T7 had completed.

Over the next few days, more and more of the people of the town of Athens would gather on the hill that was the center of the town. Haelon, Gears and Spotter would recruit members of the town, having them form a militia, armed with spears, and would have defensive fortifications built up. Spiros had been lucky to recover a point defense cannon, and connected it to a power battery. She set it up away from the ramp, but looked over the approach.

Snake had been watching the waters for a few days, when he noticed, a fleet of ships approaching.

The people would retreat up the hill, while the 6 Jedi, stood on the pathway, and would ignite their lightsabers. In the distance, they saw the marching formation, almost like a mix matched grouping, not quite disciplined, but they understood what needed to be done.

Spiros would aim the cannon towards the crowd, and activated the cannon, firing it and having the shot explode, making part of the force flee in terror. There was one man, a large man who wore a helmet with the skull of an animal mounted on it, that carried an axe that walked forward.

He pointed toward Athane with his weapon, and shouted a challenge.

Athane, still tied to her culture as a mandalorian, would accept, a battle of single combat. She stepped forward, and took her stance, her blade was in a reversed grip, and she lowered her stance. The man looked at her confused.

"Bowing down to be killed? Pathetic, and I thought you were a warrior." the bull headed man said.

"I know more dangers of death than you." She said.

The man moved forward, and Athane rushed him. They both swung, their weapons meeting, and Athane's lightsaber sliced through the bronze head and wooden handle, before she cut a deep mark through the skull, making it fall from the man's face.

He grit his teeth, swinginh his now club at the mandalorian jedi, the metal bit still attached hit the helmet and slid off, before with a single move, would separate the man's hand from his arm, having the club drop to the ground.

She would then use the force and push the man back onto the ground.

"THESE LANDS ARE NO LONGER YOURS!" She shouted, before she would use the force to lift several trees up and throw them at the gathered army. 

They would partially disperse, however, some would charge forward, throwing spears at the jedi who pushed them aside with the force. As the combat got close, the Jedi would cut the spears part, along with the shields, attempting to not strike the people down, but only those who were pushing the battle on.

The Jedi would have some injuries, Athane would receive a cut along her arm that would force her to change her style, from a reverse dominant hand, to a duelist off hand style. Master Vetra would slice the head off the last of the identified commander.

The Apprentice Aresh, would create an illusion, of fire spreading from his body, as he swung his lightsaber, having it look as if a wave of flame extended, he moved forward, and began to shout.

"You came here to kill! Yet we lay without death! Gaze upon the gods of these lands! You offered no peace, so NEITHER SHALL WE! RUN. RUN! Deliver this message to your master! We will come if he tries this again!" Aresh shouted, the force that had come, thinking they could fight were now running away, in fear.

Knight Nas, would place her hand on Aresh's shoulder. 

"You have made your point, do not succumb to the desire for blood, it will consume you, and you will fall from the path of the light." She said.

Over the next few months, the town of Athens would become home to the Jedi, and on the top of the hill, would be the grounds of the Jedi Order, who would guide the people of Athens as they built a city. On the Acropolis the Temple of the Force would be constructed, and the Jedi order would meditate, searching through the force to look for those near by that had the potential of the force.

Athens, named after the goddess who gave the people wisdom, would also develop a form of government that was not lead by one, but by those who had the knowledge to lead. They made a democracy. The troopers, meanwhile, worked to create a standard army, one that could be used to defend the city. They also worked to develop a crossbow, one that had the wooden bow, and a crank system to pull the string back, and would have a simple lift release. 

The Jedi would also begin to adapt to the language barrier, slowly moving away from the translation matrix, and have some important documents written down. Over the following Years, slowly, the Jedi would have Athens expand from a town, to a city, with more and more groups coming to the city, for a chance of a better life. 

A small trade port was built up, and they would hear, a land of Kamet, was under the rule of a Lord of Seth, a local version of a war god, one who united the kingdoms of the delta.

The SIS operatives were scanning across the frequencies of radio channels, hoping to find some way to contact other survivors, but had yet to find any active frequencies.
