A Jedi's Tale - The Story of Jay Lyon

Thadma's Downfall

2041, three years after the Battle of Yavin. The Allies & Rebels had minor victories and minor defeats. The Republic Freedom Fighters took Kamino and continued the process of rebuilding, despite the war. A year after Kamino's destruction, the Rebels In Imperial Gray began reconstruction right underneath the Empire's nose. When the Galactic Civil War started, they continued rebuilding while keeping an eye out for Imperial Patrols. President Lyons and the allies sent troops & the Engineer Corps to help with the reconstruction. Around the same time, he released Squad 99 from their stasis a year ago and informed of the Galactic Civil War and began training. Throughout the war, Jay helps Luke and Juchi with their training to be a Jedi and on their missions. But, there is one mission that will bring closure to Eldo and Val.

Following the Destruction of the Death Star, Dars Thadma made his his personally mission to find and destroy the Rebel Fleet. Those in the Rebels in Imperial Gray saw him as a threat and will expose them to the Empire once he is finished with the Alliance. One day, they got their chance. They learned that Thadma and his fleet are stationed on Brentaal IV after hearing reports of Rebel activity. Oron contacted the Alliance by an encrypted comm channel and informed them on Thadma. Seeing as perfect time to capture an Imperial Grand Admiral, the Rebels got to work on capturing Dars Thadma. Collecting their troops, Jay briefed them on the upcoming battle on Brentaal IV and the capture of Grand Admiral Dars Thadma, the Rebel Butcher of Ryloth. Among the Rebels who are briefed in on the battle plan is Siri Barrwinn and Depa Barrwinn. Siri was born Force Sensitive to Zasha Barrwinn and Kras Paderenn. When Order 66 was issued, she help her daughter in hiding and secretly trained her to be a Jedi. When Val and Eldo heard of Siri's birth, they, and several members in the Rebels in Imperial Gray, helped to keep her safe from the Empire. Ever since two Imperial Inquisitors died on Jabiim and on Tatooine, Jay collected both of their sabers and modified them and even gave the lightsabers a purple blade. After a mission with the Republic Freedom Fighters, Jay even trained her lightsaber combat and in the ways of the Force. In the year 2030, Jedi Knight Baida Fas, a survivor of Jedi Purge, took her under and trained her. Now, at age twenty two, and a commission as a Captain in the Rebel Alliance, She would prove her metal Brentaal IV and many other battles to come. The plan was to liberate the city of Cormond, take the Imperial base and airfield, surround his fleet & capture Thadma before he escapes. With a plan in place, the Alliance began to organize and prepare to move out. In order to help capture Thadma, Jay contacted two shinobi that will play a key role in Thadma's capture and the upcoming battle. Once briefed on the mission, they said they will be there with a Clone Commando Unit. With a course to Brentaal IV set, the Alliance went into lightspeed.

Meanwhile, on Brentaal IV, Rebel Agents and member of the Rebels in Imperial Gray got to work disabling the Imperials' walkers and comm channels to slow the Imperials down before the Rebels arrive. During the journey through hyperspace, Jay spoke to Val and Eldo in private. During the briefing, he sensed their conflicted feelings when they were going to capture the monster who tried to kill those they care for. He told them, when they get in to the battle, not to let their personal feelings get in the way; knowing their past with Thadma and what they did to them and those around them. "I know the damage he caused the both of you." Jay said with concern "But, I want to protect the both of you and not to end up on a path were no one can follow.". Deep down, they know Jay is right. But, they still can't forgive Thadma. They want to kill him; to make them feel the same pain they and the entire galaxy felt the Empire. Jay temporarily assigned them to his unit and to be monitored by Major General Nox and his troops until the battle is over and they can return to their unit. Once they arrived at Brentaal IV, the Rebels began to land their troops and organize them for battle. In order to avoid surprise by the Empire, Jay send out scouts in all directions. One of those is his most trusted sergeant, Locke. Locke had followed Jay since the Battle of the Hidden Leaf and in later days of the Clone War. Since the Empire was formed, he stayed loyal with his Jedi General and followed him in every battle against the Empire. For the past two hours, all was quiet. Then, three shots rang out from the north of their position. Rebel Scouts were attacked by an Imperial Patrol. Four Rebels were captured and three manage to escape with one wounded. But, the Rebels took one Imperial Stormtrooper Sergeant. Locke was carried a wounded Rebel named Bhin Aldi who was wounded in the arm, shot through the elbow, and in the leg. Private Aldi was beginning to faint by the loss of blood due to the wound. A medic rushed up and tied tourniquets around the arm and leg and sent her to a medical frigate. Locke reported that there were Imperial on patrol and were attacked by the squad. The Rebels deployed their troops on the outskirts of the city of Cormond and awaited the enemy. Once an Imperial patrol were in range of Rebel guns, the Rebels attacked; driving the enemy back. The Rebels marched forward and continued the attack; catching the Imperials completely by surprise. They tried to call for reinforcements, but found their comms damaged and even jammed by the Rebels. Appearing on the field to form for a counter attack was Thadma, donning his armor. Seeing Thadma in view, Val cried out "THADMA!!!" which, upon seeing her and Eldo, began to run. Leyla, leading troops forward, told Jay to go after them and prevent them from killing Thadma. With Zasha and division of Republic Freedom Fighters behind him, Jay lead the troops forward.
