ST-8 pilots Adaya's defender as she attempts to contact the Jedi council via HoloTerminal. There's no reply. "Come on..." She tries again, but there is still no answer.

Back at the Regana Homestead on Odessen, Kira and Kaeiden sit together. Kaeiden holds Trenegin when the baby starts wailing. "Oh, what's wrong little guy?" He asks the infant rhetorically.
Kira feels a sudden rush at all once. She clutches her forehead and falls into the Homestead wall, catching herself on it.
"Honey?" Kaeiden feels it the next second. The two parents look at each other.
"A massive disturbance in the force, originating from Tython..." Says Kira.
"We should go." Kaeiden stands while still holding a crying Trenegin.
"In a minute..." Kira takes Trenegin from his arms and begins rocking him while smiling at her son. "Hey there, handsome. Mommy and Daddy have to go away now but you'll be safe with the nursing droid, okay? Yeah, you will. Okay, bud, see you soon. Mommy won't be gone long..."

Kira and Kaeiden both change into battle armor and approach the defender. Kaeiden walks on board but Kira takes one last look at her home. "We'll be back soon, Trenegin. I promise." She says before climbing the ramp and sealing the hatch.

A series of Imperial dropships are deployed. Aboard one of them is Darth Vargus. He patiently waits for his assault to begin, hands clasped. The Jedi outside the temple draw and ignite their lightsabers, preparing to defend the temple with their lives. The first dropships open, melee troopers come spilling out, rushing the Jedi with no hesitation. The door to Vargus' dropship opens and he hops out, lightsaber in his hand. "For the Empire!" He screams, leading the charge into battle against the Jedi Order.
