BOOK 01

They were all fighters, but what distinguishes a warrior from a killer is what they fight for.

Bred for combat. Built for war. Republic Commandos braved the impossible. So, when they were ordered to turn their sights to the Jedi, most did with unflinching loyalty.

What will they do now that the Republic no longer exists? In the Outer Rim, on an uninhabited planet their fate lies in their hands. Are the commandos traitors to the Empire or are their actions justified by fighting for freedom?

And now a gladiator has found her way into the ranks of the Grand Imperial army. Forged in the fire of death she has no quarrel with taking life. What purpose is there when she has nothing left to fight for?

Trooper by LeeraIvy
70 parts Complete
Nearly five years ago, the Clone Wars ended with a purge that wiped an entire people from the galaxy. Jess, formerly known as CC-9976, a member of the 21st Nova Corps, shot down his Jedi general in accordance with Order 66. Now, Jess finds himself a stormtrooper for the Galactic Empire. The Empire is not the Republic that he was once so proud to serve. Jess finds himself being tested in ways he never was before. As the Empire tightens its fist around the galaxy, Jess makes the decision to escape. Jess makes his way out of Imperial control and, eventually, into the hands of the Rebellion. War is all he's ever known. Whether he is a clone, an Imperial soldier, or a Rebel fighter, one fact remains. He is a trooper and war is in his blood. Ryn Alera has only known slavery throughout her life. The last place she expected to find help was with the Empire. When Ryn is due to serve the rest of her life on Kessel, she makes a stand for her freedom. When a rogue stormtrooper helps her escape, Ryn finds herself trapped in a whirlwind of war and danger. Gradually, she adjusts to her new life on the run, and later, in the Rebellion. As she grows closer with Jess, the man who helped her escape, her values begin to change. She wasn't born a fighter, but if the galaxy's freedom requires it, she will be a soldier. Warning This book, while being a work of fiction, still contains real elements and deals with the subject of war. There will be chapters that deal with abuse, death, slight gore, etc. (Canon characters as well as planets within the Star Wars universe are not created by me.

Jedi Fugitive (The Bad Batch) by mand0jedi
119 parts Complete
Survivor. Outcast. Fugitive. Astera Lyell barely escaped Order 66 with her life. Now she's on the run, looking desperately for someplace to lay low, away from the Empire and the clones they used to murder her people. If only it were that easy. When the Bad Batch shows up on Ord Mantell looking for work, Astera is forced to work with the clones she has learned to distrust and despise, hoping they will not recognise her and carry out the order their brothers had without hesitation. But with them comes its own set of problems, from bounty hunters after the child they had brought with them to the Empire, hunted by one they once called brother. As she is drawn back further into the world she had tried so hard to leave behind, Astera finds it harder and harder to cling to the anger and hate that she was sure would ensure her survival, forming alliances and even friendships with the clones she had sworn to despise as they prove to be unlike their reg counterparts. She must learn to trust and rely on them again if there is any chance of them living against a relentless and ruthless Empire intent on seeing them all dead. BOOK 3 in the 'Jedi of Mandalore' Trilogy (I'm working backwards for some reason).

Jedi and Clone  by LeeraIvy

Irel Kirsi is a newly appointed Jedi Knight when the Clone Wars arrives, bringing chaos into the galaxy she was sworn to protect. At the bidding of the Jedi Council, Irel is assigned to become General of Clone Legion 918. It is there she meets Commander Axe, one of the newer clone troopers, but no less experienced. As the war goes on, Irel finds herself learning how to command an army and take orders herself. Her questions for the Jedi Council deepen even more, especially as she begins to grow closer to her commander. Commander Axe has been in the Clone Wars since the very first battle of Geonosis. When he finds out that his legion is being reassigned to another less experienced Jedi, Axe is worried what may happen to him and his men. He takes it upon himself to help their new general as much as he can. As they continue to work together, Axe finds himself falling for Irel. As the threat of war spills across the galaxy, what will they do to ensure victory and what will their freedom cost?

The Ex-Sith and the Clone (Captain Rex x reader) by Eyelynthederp
25 parts Ongoing
- Y/n, an ex-Sith turned Jedi, and Rex, a Captain in the Grand Army of the Republic. How can a relationship like theirs work? Yet alone work on the battlefield of war? And on top of the war consuming the Galaxy Jedi aren't supposed to form attachments. 'When have I ever followed the rules.' Y/n's life was in no way comfortable. From her parents that made sure she became a vessel of darkness to her master that pushed her to become the best. Jedi aren't supposed to form attachments but this one was different, this Jedi tended to. Whether that meant to the past, her fellow Jedi, the commander that served under her or a certain Captain. - !Female reader! Begins in 38 BBY. - Points of note! This book contains: a slow burn romance, war, pain, suffering, character death, light cursing but most of it circumstantially censored, precocious children, Obi-Wan and Y/n bickering like good siblings, Ahsoka and Anakin being chaotic, Y/n being friends with ALL the clones, torture, imprisonment, the Jedi council being arrogant, R7 being Y/n's metal child, Y/n being the General of the 104th because they're criminally underused, Wolffe protect and attack for his General, Ahsoka and Y/n being the best sisters. I will most likely add to this as time goes on. :) - I do not have any claim to the material of George Lucas' Star Wars properties. I make zero profit from this book. This is purely for my enjoyment and the enjoyment of others on this platform.
Jedi Padawan (The Clone Wars) by mand0jedi
6 parts Ongoing
Commander. Soldier. Padawan. War was never what Astera was expecting. She was a Jedi - they were meant to be peacekeepers, not soldiers. But war never waits for her soldiers to be ready. Only months into the Clone Wars, a young and ill prepared Astera Lyell finds herself thrust into the middle of a new battle with a new Master, none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi himself. A pairing neither of them expected - the Order forbids attachments after all, and what would be worse for attachment than assigning her to the Jedi who brought her to Coruscant as a child? But with the Clone Wars raging on, there is little time to question that decision. Under his tutelage, Astera is forced to learn the complexities of war, how to properly direct the clones she is suddenly expected to lead and to undertake missions of an urgency - and danger - she has never seen before.Unforgiving environments and harsh experiences will shape Astera into the warrior she will become as she fights to survive in an ever changing war, and finds that the Order is not what she always expected it to be... BOOK 1 in the 'Jedi of Mandalore' Trilogy. Followed by 'Jedi Deserter' (Date TBC) and 'Jedi Fugitive'.
