Jay Lyon: A Star Wars Story

The Boston Trial

With the Galactic Civil War over, Soldiers and Officers, both Rebel and Imperial, a few of them, laid down their arms and went home. Although the Empire, or what's left of it, is still out there, Military Units patrol the area for any Imperial Remnant. Back on Earth, Imperial Prisoners were being released and given a parole until properly exchange. Military units acted a police force, keeping peace and order so no further blood can spill. But as the Allies & New Republic help rebuild, they also prepare a trial; a trial similar to the famed Nuremberg Trials of 1945-46.

As the Allies prepare for trial, Jay and his troops returned home to a hero's welcome. President Lyons welcomed every one home and had made plans with government authorities for a formal review to honor the troops. At 9:00 a.m. on a bright sunny May 23, the anniversary of the death of Palpatine, a signal gun fired a single shot and Lieutenant General James Burns, led the estimated 90,000 men of Army of the Free down the streets of Washington from Capitol Hill down Pennsylvania Avenue past crowds that numbered into the thousands. The infantry marched with 12 men across the road, followed by the divisional and corps artillery, then an array of American Battle Droids regiments and United States Clone Troop that stretched for another seven miles. The mood was one of gaiety and celebration, and the crowds and soldiers frequently engaged in singing patriotic songs as the procession of victorious soldiers snaked its way towards the reviewing stand in front of the White House, where President Lyons, Commanding General Isaac Taylor, Clone General Rico, senior military leaders, the Cabinet, and leading government officials awaited. At the head of his troops, Burns dismounted when he arrived at the reviewing stand and joined the dignitaries to salute his men, who passed for over six hours. On the following day at 10:00 a.m., Jay led his troops of the 76th Legion and the Lost Regiment. Joining them is the 69th Legion and 241st Battalion and other Clone units. For six hours under bright sunshine, the troops now paraded in front of joyous throngs lining the sidewalks. People peered from windows and rooftops for their first glimpse of this western army. Unlike Burn's army, which had more military precision, Lyon's clone troops were dressed in the armor they were during the Clone Wars and the troops of the Lost Regiment were dressed in their dressed in their dress parade attire with brass buttons and bayonets gleaming in the sun light. As they march down Pennsylvania Avenue, the troops of the Lost Regiment sang the Battle Hymn of The Republic as they march down, to honor their fallen brothers in arms from their conflicts they served in.

As celebrations come to end and preparations for a trial resumes, Jay was back in Fort America, meditating in his quarters. With the Soul Reaper Pass he has from Yachi, he was torn. He knows he doesn't want to hurt Isane's feelings after Unohana was cloned to serve the Sith. He told Head Captain Kyōraku and those around him, but chose to not tell Isane. He feared, during the war, she would get involve and would end up getting killed or joining the Empire. He asked for his masters to help him, asking to help him what to do with telling Isane. Finally, Jay found the courage to travel to the Soul Society and make his way to Squad 4's Headquarters. When he was at the door of Captain Kotetsu's Office, he made an attempt to knock on the office door, but was stopped when he was overcome with a notion. Something was telling him not to do it. He tried again, but the same notion stopped him. He couldn't do it. He was the verge of giving up and leaving the pass, but he was stopped by Nanao, with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker. Mara was carrying two babies, fraternal twins named Cade and Keela Skywalker. They were born one year and five days after the Battle of Endor. Their cousins, Jacen, Jania & Ben were born before them, one year and four days after the Battle of Endor. With them, is Chiru Hana. As a precaution, Jay had her wait outside until called upon. Finding the courage again, Jay knocked on the door. But, deep down, he was worried. When they entered, he was surprised to find not on Isane, but Rukia and Rangiku.

Once they finished getting reunited with Jay, while being introduced to Luke, Mara and their kids, Luke told Isane about Unohana and her clones that were used to fight for the Empire. This shocked the women, even Isane. During the conversation, Jay became nervous, fearing she would be mad at him and Luke for not telling her about Unohana being cloned. When asked how, Jay then got on his hands and knees, He got in to a pose called Dogeza. It is a pose which involves kneeling directly on the ground and bowing to prostrate oneself while touching one's head to the floor. It is used to show deference to a person of higher status, as a deep apology or to express the desire for a favor from said person. Coming clean like a criminal confession to the crimes he as committed, Jay told her everything and asked her to forgive him for not telling her about Unohana. He feared for her, thinking Isane would get involve and would end up getting killed by the Empire or would join them and fight alongside a clone of Unohana. He repeatedly told her he was sorry and asked for her forgiveness. Isane, having pity on Jay, walked over, placed her hand on his shoulder and told her it's alright. Surprised by this, Jay rose his head and saw her give to him a smile, telling him it wasn't his fault. She asked him if he was with Yachi at the end, and Jay said that he was, saying she stayed behind so they can escape and live. The Captain of Squad 4 then asked Jay to tell him how Yachi died, to which Lyon responded that he would tell her how she lived, both as a clone and in the Force. Upon saying that, he called in Chiru and greeted Isane. It was there Isane returned the greet and thanked Chiru for carrying on her captain's legacy, excluding the Dark  Side Clones. To Jay, it felt like a massive weight was lifted from his shoulders and brought Yachi closure and peace. When the meeting close, Jay thanked Luke for helping out. "What are friends for." Luke said, placing his hand on Jay's shoulder. "You helped me during the war. So, it's my turn to return the favor." Jay smiled. He was pleased that Isane handled the news okay and wasn't angry with him. The last time he check on Isane, she still serve as captain of Squad 4 would work alongside Chiru on missions for the New Republic and Luke's Jedi Order. She would continue to help out until her retirement a year before the First Order Resistance War. Back in the World of The Living, the preparations are still underway. Evidence against the Empire poured in the thousands later the millions. Transmissions, orders & eyewitness accounts pile up, posted them in a timeline leading them up to Order 66 and to the war. Then, after getting enough evidence, indictments were dropped in late June, 2043. Chief among those charged is Eldo Zerkim. To ask with city would be the perfect place to hold the trial, Boston was the answer for the trial; being the spiritual center of America. Because the birthplace of the American Revolutionary War, with the Boston Massacre in March of 1770 & the Boston Tea Party in December 1773, began there, It was symbolic to show the Imperial the meaning to democracy.
