STAR WARS

Chaos grips the entire galaxy. The decade long war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire rages on, while innocent civilians are butchered by both sides hoping to gain an advantage over the other.

Responding to their duties to defend the Republic, the Jedi Order has once again been deployed to assist the Republic military, while groups like the Mandalorians assist the Sith in achieving the Empire's will for Galactic domination

As battles rage across thousands of systems, a Jedi Master and his Padawan travels to the battered planet of Balmorra to assist the Republic army there, hoping to gain control of the planet's vast capability for weapons production...
____________________________________________

Ever since the war started, the Republic and the Empire had both shown great interest in securing Balmorra for their side. The planet had long been a key producer of weapons and ammunition in just about every Galactic war that took place. This conflict of interest had turned the planet into a battlezone, where each side held parts of the planet's weapons production facilities and territories, but neither could gain complete control of them.

Each side defended its own share of the planet, the hottest spot for clashes being the city of Sobrik, a heavily fortified Imperial stronghold, with the planet's main Spaceport in the centre. The Republic could not afford to establish a spaceport of their own and guarantee protection for ships arriving and departing. Instead, visitors had to dock at a station in orbit and take a transport down to the war torn planet.

And that was exactly what Jedi Master Caleb Dume and his Padawan, Jedi Knight Ezra Bridger were doing. Their transport touched down on the landing pad at the Republic's main base on Balmorra and the two walked out.

Caleb wore a simple white Jedi tunic, much like his master Depa Billaba, with a long brown cloak draped over his shoulders. He wore black pants and boots, with a brown utility belt around his waist. The 30-year-old male had green eyes and a goatee.

His apprentice was a little more picky over the colour of his outfit. After being knighted by the Council, Ezra had been quick to change the colour of his outfit. It now consisted of an orange tunic, while the straps were yellow in colour. His master had managed to convince him to keep the pants and boots brown. Ezra, like his master, also had a brown utility belt and a cloak draped over his shoulders

The two Jedi walked into the meeting room, where Republic military officials had gathered around a table that was projecting holographic schematics for something. 'Ah, Master Jedi, thank you for joining us' one of the officials greeted them and introduced himself as Commander Paul Young. He brought the two Jedi up to speed on what they were planning; to seize an Imperial Arms Factory 30 miles west of Sobrik.

'The perimeter of the factory is guarded by both Imperial soldiers and droids. Expect stiff resistance.' Commander Young added. 'Don't worry, Commander. Those droids will be nothing but wires and metal pieces when we're done with them' Ezra replied, shooting the commander a cocky smile.

'Wonderful then, I hope to see little piles of metal and wires when we move in to secure the factory.' The Commander said. 'Your troops are waiting at the Republic outpost outside Sobrik. May the Force be with you, Master Jedi' He added.
