The Clone Wars: Near the End

Chapter One: Swing of Things Recap

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

On Malastare, Leeda and Master Windu discovered a creature thought to be extinct. Then, with the help of Ileema Kenobi, they fought for the Zillo Beast's survival. After tricking the Dugs, the native species of Malastare, they managed to have the Zillo Beast taken back to Coruscant. Back aboard The Relentless, Leeda informed a squad of the death of their batchmate.

A few months after Malastare, while on Coruscant for shore leave, Leeda was injured in the attempt to break up a fight at the clone bar, '79s. After threats of injury, Logan gets the truth out of one of the troopers about what happened to his daughter.

Then on Geonosis, Leeda was severely injured by the Geonosians and her life was saved on the field by fellow Padawan, Callum Dalori. The two friends are found by Ileema and transported back to The Relentless, where Leeda is treated with bacta. After being cleared for battle, Leeda and Callum are sent back down to Geonosis, where they are among the group that discover Queen Karina the Great of Geonosis.

After escaping the queen's cavern, news comes that Master Windu is in need of medical supplies. It is decided that Leeda, along with fellow Padawans Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano, will take a medical frigate to the medical station near Ord Cestus. On the way there, it is revealed that the brain worms of Geonosis have infected the clones aboard the ship. After a valiant effort to defeat them, Leeda herself is infected and is saved by Ahsoka Tano. She wakes up on the medical station near Ord Cestus.

A few months after the events on board the medical frigate, Leeda is back on Coruscant as Ileema was needed for a session of the Council. While there, Leeda teaches a new Padawan the beginning Soresu katas, and wins a spar against another Padwan, teaching him to not underestimate his opponents. She is then called by the Council for a solo representative mission to Mandalore. While there, Leeda assists Duchess Satine Kryze and Senator Padmé Amidala in finding a smuggling ring that has been poisoning Mandalorian children.

After busting the smuggling ring on Mandalore, Leeda asks Duchess Satine and the Council to extend her mission and send another Padawan to assist her in teaching at the Mandalorian Royal Academy. Ahsoka Tano is chosen, and together, they teach the students there about the dangers of corruption within the government. Inspired by the two Padawans, Leeda's cousin, and Duchess Satine's son, Korkie Kryze, and three of his friends, Amis, Lagos, and Soniee, uncover a black market deal. They then discover that the black market on Mandalore is lead by Prime Minister Almec. Using a quickly thought up, by Leeda, plan, the Padawans and cadets apprehend the Prime Minister.

After her mission to Mandalore, and after another battle, while in hyperspace, Leeda is unable to sleep. She goes about the ship and eventually senses terror from the clone barracks aboard The Relentless. Upon entering the barracks, she finds a new trooper, Boots, in the throes of a night terror. When he wakes, he is terrified. Boots attempts to get her to leave for fear the clones will kill her. After talking to Lieutenant Bullseye, Leeda discovers that all clones have night terrors where they kill their Jedi. In the Med Bay, Leeda helps uncover the truth of these night terrors. Programming chips.

After discovering the programming chips, Leeda also uncovers orders on these. One hundred and fifty of them. One of the newly discovered orders, is Order 66. And order for the clones to wipe out all Jedi. Upon more in-depth searching through the orders, Order 37 was discovered. An order to arrest and threaten execution of a civilian populace in attempt to apprehend a single wanted individual.

Knowing that the chips needed to be removed, Leeda organized a meeting of her fellow Padawans with Clone Commanders and Captains. Here, she explains her plan. They will be in charge of removing the chips from the clone army. When questioned about alerting their Masters, Leeda explains that if their Masters know, they will be obligated to tell the Council. The Council will have to tell the Senate. And if the Senate knows, Leeda unexplainably has a feeling that if the Senate knows they have uncovered the chips, the Sith Lord will too. The code name for this mission, Lukka Rai'yan. Free Spirit.

Now sixteen years old and a Senior Padawan, Leeda has proven herself capable in war. But there is still much more to come. Managing the war, heading up the mission of Lukka Rai'yan, and interpreting her visions, Leeda is stretched thin. But she is willing to do whatever necessary to protect her family. Her aliit. Her akkanu.
