Mistaken Identity

Life Behind Prison Walls

Long before Jay gets captured, arriving in Republic-Friendly space, the Acclamator carrying Zusho Battalion, Kota's Militia, Clone Force 99, Master Vos's Trooper, the 5th Regiment, Hidden Leaf Shinobi and Soul Reapers exited out of hyperspace and linked up with Windu's Fleet. Among those where with Windu's Fleet, are fleets belonging to Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi.

Getting on Windu's main ship, up on the bridge, Mollbry Meylfall, Master Rahm Kota, a few leaders of Hidden Leaf Squads & a few captains from Soul Reaper Squads were speaking to Jedi Generals Mace Windu, Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Commander Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex and Commander Carlon Bastion. Vinare Madlene was in attendance was well; watching the meeting unfold. Speaking on be half of everyone with Jay, Mollbry spoke to the Jedi Generals. She told them everything regarding Jay and what happened on D'Qar. "In response upon seeing Commander Fox, Captain Suì-Fēng and their troops on D'Qar," Mollbry says "Commander Lyon ordered a withdraw and told us take the Hokage and leave D'Qar. He stayed behind and to delay the Coruscant Guard and Squad Two while we fled.". "Have you heard from him since fleeing D'Qar?" Anakin asked concern. "Unfortunately, I have not." Mollbry replied "Either he had successfully escaped them or he was captured.". The Jedi Generals looked at each other upon hearing Mollbry's report. Windu was concern for his apprentice deep down. He had looked after him since he was a baby and raised him like a son. Now, since Jay is in his twenties, he knows he could take care of himself while still caring for him deep down. "We'll monitor all comm channels and keep a close watch until we hear from him." Windu said "If any comes our way, we will inform you.". "In the mean time," Obi Wan began "Zusho Battalion and other units may rest up until you are called up for action.". "Just incase," Anakin chiming in "We will have troops and a shuttle on stand by incase the Separatists attack.". "Thank you, Master Skywalker." Mollbry said, with eyes closed and a nod of her head.

Just then, a Sheathipede-class transport shuttle exited from hyperspace and made it's way to the Republic Fleet. Inside the shuttle were soldiers of Kappa Squad and Jay's Astromech, R5-P76. As the shuttle approach, Sharpe and Striker, who were piloting the ship, saw the turrets on one of the Venators turn on the shuttle. Thinking that they were Separatists coming to board and fight, a quick thinking Striker entered an access code to allow entrance and to board; telling them that they are Republic Soldiers. Up on the bridge, there was one officer on board who read the clearance code. He was a twenty four year old Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic. He has short black hair, green eye with a right cybernetic eye with a long scar. He wore a gray-blue tunic with an "S" trim and with a color matching Jodhpurs, black boots, black gloves and rank bar with a rank of commander. His name is Eldo Zerkim.

Eldo, with his older sister, Ashy, and his younger brother, Joff, were taking in by the Jedi and, when the Clone Wars began, joined the Republic Army. As a precaution, they were placed in separate regiments and given an officer's commission. Ashy was given the rank of Colonel of the forty third battalion and Joff was given the rank of Captain of the two hundred and twelfth attack battalion. Eldo was given the rank of commander of the fifth regiment. During the Battle of Umbara, he joined his sister and his brother to take the dark world of Umbara from Separatists control. In that battle, Dars Thadma turned against the Republic with Pong Krell. Thadma, from the beginning, was betrothed to a female Republic Officer by the name of Mela; Mela Veton from Naboo. Thadma and Veton plan to get married after the Clone Wars has come to an end. But, it wasn't to be.

During the Battle of Abrion Bridge, on Abrion Major, Mela saved a squad of wounded Clone Troopers from being killed by an IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank. One rocket from the tank fired at the bridge and, after saving the last Clone Trooper, the ground around her began to crumble and brake apart. Then, she fell through and was presumed dead. The one who witnessed her 'dead' was Dars Thadma and, since then, he formed a deep hatred for the Jedi, mainly Obi Wan, the Clones and the Republic. He wanted to make him pay for what he claimed he did and make him feel the same pain as he. When he refused to follow orders from the Jedi, or the Clones, he was dismissed until further order. Then, he went to the Separatists and joined them to make the Republic suffer. At the Battle of Jabiim, he helped in aiding the Separatists in that battle and executed Republic Prisoners in battle. Ashy Zerkim, who was there in that battle, was wounded and survived. She was brought in by Republic Troops and was treated for injuries. Then, during the battle of Umbara, Joff Zerkim was wounded by Pong Krell; losing his left arm and right leg. After learning of his brother's wounding, Eldo rush to find Dars and bring him in to justice. He allied himself his the five hundred and first, two hundred and twelfth and five regiment who brought him Pong Krell in, but Thadma escaped. During the skirmish, Eldo was wounded in the eye by Krell and was treated for his injury and was given a cybernetic eye.
