Eldo Zerkim was on the verge of returning to the front; after the wound he received in battle back on Coruscant. He was ordered to take a leave of absence to recover to help heal his leg on Eriadu. An agent, working for Oron Handro, gave information to Oron about where Zerkim's whereabouts. Now was the time to act before he slips away.

September, 2041. Jay, who got back from Ahch To after a refresh, got word a encrypted transmission from Oron Handro of Zerkim's whereabouts at the bridge of The Venator George Washington. Taking the transmission at the bridge, and disguising his voice in the transmission to avoid detetion by The Empire, Oron told him that he has mission for him. Zerkim is almost ready for combat and will leave Eriadu any day. Jay knows if they capture Zerkim, it could change everything. If they were going to capture him, alive, they need to act fast. He accepted the mission and comes up with a plan to capture him. The plan is to capture him at night, without any shots fired and any lives lost. Plans borrowed from Colonel John S. Mosby when he captured Brigadier General Edwin H. Stoughton at Fairfax, Virginia in March, 1863. Their weapons are set to stun and comms turned off, using hand signals and runners to communicate. In other words, they would move like phantoms in the night. All Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters and many other vehicles were brought in for "Inspection", as ordered by Governor Handro. Once they landed, Rebel Agents, lead by Oron Handro, got to work deactivating Zerkim's weapons and comms channels, deactivating TIE Fighters and Star Destroyers Weapon Systems & collecting all blasters. They say The Governor of Eriadu was going to do an inspection of the base, which, in reality, is a lie. Jay would bring with him his corps, Master Windu's 187th Legion, three divisions of Republic Freedom Fighters, three divisions of both U.S. Army and Marines, three Japanese divisions, three British divisions & three French divisions. Also attached is a platoon of Rebels. Zerkim's base is placed in a village, far away from Eriadu City, the capital of  Eriadu.

Darkness soon fell on Eriadu. Jay quietly land his troops, formed them into platoons and moved out. Imperial Patrols came across of Jay's troops and were immediately captured, along with a few guards protecting the village the path leading to Zerkim's base. The Rebels had free range in the tiny village, meeting with Rebel Sympathizers and Rebel Agents. Many of the villagers, sympathic to The Rebel Cause, would join The Rebels in their battle against The Empire. Oron Handro was among them, who "Surrendered" to The Allies. What Oron proposed to The Allies, after he was captured, is to be The Rebels's eyes and ears, finding out what they could be up to while incarceration. Gathering their troops, they moved to Zerkim's base, named Tarkin Base, in named after Grand Moff Tarkin, who died on The First Death Star. The Allied & Republic Freedom Fighter Divisions surrounded the base and captured several Stormtroopers, some of them sleepy. A Commander and Captain of Tarkin Base came out to see what all the commotion was, only to be captured by Jay and one of his clone officer. He took hold of The Captain's coat, whispered his name is his ear and told him to take him to Grand Admiral Zerkim's room. The officer had little choice, and complied.  Making their way inside the base, capturing more troops and officers, Jay and his crew made his way to find in bed. It was at the moment that Colonel Val Barrwinn roused him with a "spank on his bare back." Upon being so rudely awakened Zerkim indignantly asked what this meant. Jay quickly asked him, in the voice of an Imperial Officer, if he had ever heard of "Lyon". He replied, "Yes, have you caught him?" "I am Lyon." the Jedi Master said, lightsaber ignited and held against him "And I have caught you.". He looked to see Clones and Rebels in his room, blasters aimed at him. "Don't bother calling for help." Jay began. "We jammed your signal, your troops are taken prisoner and this village and base is surrounded by the entire corps of The United States Marines. Get dressed and come with us." Mind you, What Jay did was told two truths in one lie. The village and base was surrounded by Divisions of Americans, Japanese, British, French, Clones & a platoon of Rebels. The Rebels and Allies began tearing the base apart to get intel and searching the prisoners for any weapons or contraband. They also found Rebel Prisoners and freed them and sent them to the fleet, to be treated for any injuries. In the process, they have captured an entire Imperial Fleet, TIE Fighter Squadrons, Weapons, supplies, AT-ATs, AT-STs and more.
