Jay Lyon: A Star Wars Story

The Fall of The First Order

A year has passed since Crait. The Resistance were gaining the upper hand, liberating planets from First Order rule and gaining supports and members along the way. Tilana has been restored following her redemption on Dantooine and would be in command of a unit, leading the Resistance to victory. Mace lead troops on one mission that saved his wife, Mara, and his son, Anakin from being captive from the First Order. But, while they fight on, there was something that would change everything.

A broadcast using the voice of the presumed deceased Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine is transmitted across the galaxy, which threatens revenge. Yes, Palpatine did indeed survive and is living on the Sith world of Exegol in a clone body. Thirty one years ago, while Palpatine was falling to his death, he called on the Dark Side to transfer his consciousness in a cloned body of his own creation designed with Clone Wars era technology by the Sith Eternal, a secret cult of Sith loyalists who continued to follow the religious traditions of the Sith and sought to resurrect their order. While Mace and his comrades were on a mission to Naboo, and with Poe and Finn on a separate to get information on a spy in the First Order, Jay, Maelle, Shizuka & Mollbry were helping Rey train on Ajan Kloss. She meditates solemnly, floating in the air alongside a number of rocks. She tries to maintain her composure and balance to contact the Jedi that came before her and connecting to the Cosmic energy of the Universe, but ultimately fails and, with a sigh, lowers herself to the ground. Once she was on the ground, Jay reassured her that she will commune with them in time. General Leia Organa, who had been watching nearby, comforts her discouraged acolyte, also assuring her that nothing is impossible and that she will be able to commune with the Jedi who came before her, as she hopes to. While Rey went off to run the course, Jay penned down what he saw after Rey's training.

"Despite being a Force sensitive Scavenger being new to the role of Jedi, she is making progress. Jesse, Hardcase, Waxer & Boil would help the training droid deflect blaster fire while Shizuka and Maelle would attack her from the trees, which she blocks and parries their attacks with ease. She expertly runs and leaps through the obstacles, imbuing her actions with the Force. She blocks every bolt from her hovering training droid, but she paused and stares off in the distance. She told me after training that  it is revealed Kylo Ren, to whom she is bound through the Force, is communing with Vader's helmet and speaking to her from his chambers far across the galaxy. She also said that she saw visions, A vision, shared with Ren, showed her of her ascension of the Final Order above Exegol; the face of her murdered mentor and Ben's and Jacen's father, Han Solo; the pained words of her master, Luke Skywalker, as she tapped into the dark side; her duel with and alongside Ren against the Praetorian Guards of Snoke; the departure of her parents from Jakku, leaving her behind in the grip of Unkar Plutt. Seeing her distracted by the vision, and ultimately batters the training remote with her staff, but damages BB-8 in the process, I rushed over to her, breaking her out of her vision. I asked her what did she see in her vision, she said pain. Then, seeing BB-8 beneath the tree that had collapsed on him, We rushed over to get the tree off of him. Akira picked up BB-8 and took him away to be repaired and Shizuka left with Rey to the base. As they left, I sensed the worry inside her. The visions she saw must have shoke her up good."

Finn, Poe and Chewbacca arrived with intel they received from the spy with startling information. The news is Palpatine is alive and in hiding in the Unknown Regions, on a world called Exegol. While in hiding, he and his followers has been constructing the largest fleet the galaxy has ever seen called the Final Order. In sixteen hours, the Sith fleet will embark from Exegol to attack the free worlds. The job was simple: Find Exegol, destroy the fleet, defeat the Emperor & save the galaxy. Then, Jay remembers reading reports from Luke about search for a Sith Wayfinder. Only two Wayfinders were made in order to find Exegol, no more no less. One may be located in the Forbidden Desert of Pasaana. And with that, Rey, along with Poe, Finn, Chewbacca, C-3P0, R2-D2, Cade, Jania, Mace, Maelle & Shizuka, traveled to Pasaana to find the Wayfinder, Jay, Mollbry, Alex, Sakura, Keeve, Britt, Kira & Juchi traveled to Mrykr where see Tilana, who has been recuperating since her turn back into the light. The base on Mrykr was Charity Base, the same base Jay and the Lost Regiment stayed after being on the run from Amazonia Prime. To those who were there those days during the Galactic Civil War, it brought back some good, even some bad, memories. Once inside the base, Jay and the others greeted the commander of the base, who took them to see Tilana, who was training and building up her strength in the training hall. She was outfitted with new cybernetic limbs, so she can run, jump, climb and fight like a Jedi again. She was given a new lift support suit in a restored, yet modified, Clone War Jedi Armor with a respirator cowl attached to her neck. With technology, her eyes and ears were restored after all the years in her dark side armor and the Sullust fire. Her skin was healed and her hair was growing back with her eyebrows grown back. After completed her sessions, Tilana, after seeing Jay, walked over to greet his friend. Jay gave Tilana her old lightsaber as a gift for her return to the light. He said he kept it preserved and in good working order after the end of the Galactic Civil War. Smiling, she thanked him for the gift as she ignited it, giving it a blue hue. Before anyone could say or do anything, a Clone Trooper entered the room and reported to Jay and the others of First Order activity on Pasaana. He said First Order troops, and a detachment of the 8th Legion, have found Rey and the others and have engaged them in a chase across the desert. He ordered to seen a brigade of Resistance Clones to help them. Then, Keela Skywalker and her brigade broad their ship and moved out to Pasanna to lend aid to Rey. No soon did they leave, a First Order Fleet arrived out of hyperspace and began lending their troops. The 8th Legion was now led by both Darth Talon and Darth Feyia after Tilana's return to the light and the near destruction of the 8th back on Dantooine. Darth Zift was in command of a reserve force. As the Resistance prepare for battle, Jay pulled up some tactics he used when he fought against the Amazons years ago. Britt was to command the ground troops until the reinforcements arrive until the order to retreat is given. After the Resistance prepared, the First Order attacked the base. During the battle, Tilana, Kira & Juchi are reunited with their old adversaries and engaged in an intense lightsaber duel. Jay, as well as Mollbry and his sisters, watched the battle. After a few hours of intense fighting, help would indeed arrive in the form of the 3rd U.S. Infantry, 101st Airborne, 82nd Airborne, 6th U.S. Infantry & 15 regiments of Marines. Less than a year ago, The U.S. dealt with a threat of First Order troops attempting to take Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. The U.S. declared war on the First Order and sent Clone Troops to help the Resistance. What they brought was fresh troops, ammo & supplies to those fighting the First Order on Mrykr. After taking heavy losses, Darth Talon gave the order to retreat. Among the First Order dead, Darth Zift and Darth Feyia. Zift was impaled in the chest by Tilana and died instantly and Feyia received a lethal laceration into Maul's chest and her lightsaber was cleaved in two by Kira. After the battle and the burial truce, Jay received report from Pasanna. Chewbacca was captured by the First Order, along with the Falcon and the Blade of Ochi of Bestoon. Rey tried to stop them but Ben interfered. In this struggle, Rey accidentally releases a burst of Force lightning, destroying the vessel and seemingly killing Chewbacca. Ren and Caedus allows the Jedi and her allies to escape in Ochi's vessel, as his own troops have captured the Falcon. Jay sensed Chewbacca through the Force and he is alive. The transport that was destroyed on Pasanna was only a decoy, Chewbacca was in other transport and was taken aboard the Steadfast where he was taken prisoner and the Falcon in the Steadfast's hangar. Luckily, the writing on the Blade of Ochi of Bestoon was in C-3PO, inscribed in his memory banks. Due to his programming, it cannot be retrieved without a complete redacted memory bypass, effectively a memory wipe. Luckily, Poe knows someone on Kijimi who might help them. With a plan set, they traveled to Kijimi. Knowing they need some help, Jay order the commander of the fleet to prepare to travel to Kijimi. He tasked Britt and 5 U.S. Marine Regiments to hold the base at all hazards, should the First Order returns. Boarding their ships, the fleet went into lightspeed, straight to Kijimi.
