2072, thirty years since the Battle of Endor. From the ashes of the Empire, The First Order rises. In the the year 2066, Luke's Jedi Temple on Ossus was destroyed in a fire thanks to Ben Solo's lightning storm. The fire killed Luke's Padawans and the masters inside; ending the new generation of Jedi. Among those who died inside the temple were Mara Jade, Leyla Skywalker, Chiru Hana, James & Martin Matthias, Hera, Bullseye, Kyle Katarn & Mace Windu. There were survivors from the destructions, Satine Kenobi, Fay Kenobi, Kyle Wolffee, Mace Lyon, Jania Solo, Cade & Keela Skywalker and Jedi students Hennix, Tai, and Voe initially survived the temple's destruction because they were away for an off-world mission. 

Mace and his group chased after Ben and Jacen Solo, just as Luke had regained consciousness to see the temple burning and most of his students' corpses littered the grounds. His intention of intervening in Solo's growing darkness had instead resulted in Solo destroying his temple, killing his students, and turning to the dark side. He learned that Jacen had joined him. With some of his students missing from the ruins, Skywalker mistakenly believed that both Ben and Jacen had slaughtered those who would not turn to the dark side as they had, and that the missing students had agreed to join them. Skywalker, overcome with despair and shame with only his faithful astromech droid R2-D2 by his side, watched as his Jedi temple and the future of the Jedi Order collapsed into flames. Cade comforted his father, telling him it wasn't his fault. The surviving Jedi began to bury their dead brethren and douse the flames of the Jedi temple to salvage what remains. Thankfully, there was a handful of items at survived. The surviving items were taken to Earth to be restored and stored should the Jedi should come back. Luke, sadly, never recovered from the destruction of his temple and the order. A year later, he went into exile on Ahch To. Before his exile, Mace and his group found Ben and Jacen on Minemoon of Mimban. Hennix died in the pursuit and Mace was wounded by Jacen, leaving a scar on his right eye similar to Anakin Skywalker. Many Mimbanese, along with Tai and Voe, died in the skirmish; along with Ren, leader of the Knights of Ren. Ben became the leader of the Knights with Jacen as his second in command. Both boys donned the name Kylo Ren and Darth Caedus. With Kylo off with Supreme Leader Snoke, which he is Palpatine's creation, Caedus carried out Kylo's orders. With the emergence of the First Order, America and her allies monitored their movements closer, fearing of an attack from them. The Clone Troopers of the New Republic joined the Resistance to strengthen their military. On one mission, a squad of Resistance Fighters discovered two Clone Troopers belonging to the 501st. One is named Hugh, whose trooper number is twenty seven dash eighty four fifty, and the other is named Zofi, whose trooper number is eighty one seventy two. Both Hugh and Zofi were found in a stasis chamber; Hugh has his chip removed and his growth acceleration stopped and Zofi without an inhibitor chip, like all Vinare Clones, and her growth acceleration stopped. They were told of what happened when they went missing and were sworn in as members of the Resistance.

Months later, the Hunt to find Luke has began. Commander Poe Dameron traveled to Jakku; site of the Last Battle of the Galactic Civil War, where he met with Lor San Tekka. He has a piece of a map that leads to Luke Skywalker. Poe was the first to get it before the First Order got to it first. When the Fist Order arrived on Jakku, Poe tried to escape only to be capture by Kylo Ren, Darth Caedus and the First Order Stormtroopers. Luckily, he had BB-8 carry the piece of the map just as Poe got capture. When word Poe got capture reached Mace Lyon, he worked immediately to plan a rescue. But one trooper was one step ahead. A man named Finn, whose number is F N two one eight seven, rescue Poe and stole a First Order TIE Fighter. Poe, remembering his mission, turned the fighter around to get to Jakku and get his droid, who still carries the piece of the map to Luke. Their fighter was shot down and crashed landed on Jakku with both men surviving. Poe managed to escape Jakku and rejoin the Resistance, but Finn remained on Jakku to find the BB-8 and the named Rey in the process. Around the same time, both Mace and his group and the First Order arrived on the planet. Mace his his troops were the first to intercept them but the First Order followed them and brief skirmish ensued. Finding Han's ship, the Millennium Falcon, they used it to escape Jakku and the pursuing First Order. After escaping, Mace contacted his father, Jay, letting him know he is alive and well. Jay, with his daughter, grand daughter, his sisters, his wife & Britt, were visiting Shizuka, Akira, Rex, Kira and Juchi in Japan. Some time after Kira's struggle with Feyia, Shizuka and her family moved to Tokyo, Japan to live out her days. Once she settled in Tokyo, she found work at Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo Police & the Ministry of Justice. To help out around her home, she found old B1 Battle Droids which she reprogrammed them to serve her. Also there to help her ar are Fives, Cody, Hardcase, Jesse, Boil, Waxer, Edna, Haruka & Cady. Eventually, when an large open area was available, Shizuka bought the land to build a large mansion, equipped with the latest technology. In her home, she equipped herself with a Jedi Training, crime lab, storage unit, Med bay and a landing pad for her starfighter. Mace told Jay that he and his group has found the droid and are on their way to a Resistance Base on D'Qar and will contact him very soon. Jay was worried for his son, him joining the Resistance after the destruction of Luke's Order. He feared he would end up on the path of darkness. It has been twenty one years since his duel with Darth Fury and he feared he would confront her and would be killed by her. With tensions running high, someone may set off the fuse and the last thing he wants is to bury a son; a worst thing to ever happen to a parent. Mollbry and Shizuka, seeing and feeling Jay's worry, comfort him. Hours later, war would indeed break out. The First Order had constructed their new superweapon on their base called Starkiller Base to destroy the Hosnian system and the New Republic's capital, Hosnian Prime. With no New Republic, the Resistance are now alone to defend themselves from the First Order. More bad news to fall, but on the planet of Takodana. In that battle, Maz's castle was destroyed in the battle and Rey would get captured by the First Order. Mace, Cade and Keela was there in the battle and push back the First Order.
