STAR WARS: LEGACY
Episode II
?The Balance?
It has been twenty-one years since the hatching and subsequent rebirth of the Old Republic Clones and the battle of the Rishi-Maze which spearheaded the further battles to come in the New War for the Light. Many Jedi, including those replicas of the Old order have fought relentlessly against the ever elusive Sith and the Jedi are thankful that there has yet to be another incident like that at Umgul, but time brings tension. While the Jedi order and the New Republic grow strong they fear that the Sith are doing the same.
At this moment, The Galactic Senate of the Republic is meeting to discuss matters of protection for the sovereign worlds of the Unknown-territory, fearing the influence of dark forces, thousands of dignitaries from all over the Republic have flown to Coruscant. Including Padme Amidala, Senatorial Ambassador to The Galactic Senate and the people of Naboo, to express her concern over this matter, but little does she know that as her royal cruiser glides to the Capital planet of Coruscant, there are darker forces working against her?


CHAPTER 1


Stars were suddenly becoming overpowered by the abundance of artificial lights that emitted from the engines of hundreds upon thousands a starships, each varying in size and origin, flying in every direction allowed by the coruscant system flight controller as the nubian royal cruiser entered the city planet?s boarders, only adding to the gleaming objects that shined in the system, with its solid mirror hull that was traditional of Naboo?s ship designers for such highly regarded dignitaries. Such dignitaries as Ambassador Amidala, one of the few clones of Kamino to not undergo the graces of Jedi training, Padme Amidala, a woman of devotion and selflessness and from what research she could gather from historical documents, she was much like her template beyond that of the similar genetic sequencing. With this constantly on her mind, Padme strived to do her former justice by following in her steps, not ever taking on the role of Queen, like the original Amidala, she preferred the senatorial path rather than the royal title, only because she had a desire for travel and the limits of a queen often defied that passion.

But as an Ambassador, Padme would serve her people and quite possibly the entire republic government in the deliberations of this week?s upcoming conference. She knew of its importance to the war effort, while she had never seen a Sith up close she was well aware of her own origins and the events which led to her survival, over two decades ago in thanks to the Jedi. Another reason Padme felt she owed the Jedi, if were it not for the valiant efforts of one Padawan by the name of Aled Oden, the son of the very woman who had been part of the Jedi team that discovered her in embryonic status on Kamino, she might not be alive to have accomplished so much in her young age.

She was grateful of that fateful encounter six years ago on her homeworld, back when she was only mere advisor?s aide and the dashing Aled was an apprentice to the reptilian Jedi Master, Grem Venad who were both assigned to act as bodyguards for her senator and mentor during the Asilon Negotiations. Soon Padme?s thoughts began to dwell on that moment the handsome orveasian had saved her life by instinctively shielding her slender body with his own from a suicide bomber droid that attempted to take her senator?s life. But thankfully, due to their presence during that time of conflict, Padme got to know him quite well, even went as far to say to herself that she was somewhat attracted to the Jedi Padawan.

?Perhaps I might see him on the surface?? she thought to herself while she made preparations for her rendezvous on Coruscant with Supreme High Chancellor Antilles. Padme quickly shook th

 

I'm interested! When's the next post gonna be up!? I'll camp out on this thread

 

Well done Sketkh, well done. Very long, and great details to see everything. I find this whole clone thing interesting, and I like how you're showing all the people's personalities. Keep it up

 

Like I said to someone eles, I already have the first seven chapters finished, and I was going to hold out till I got more readers but I guess I'll make an acception for one or two more, I'll post another one later tonight if you guys tell all your friends to come and read this one too!



*******************************
CHAPTER 2


The Tallamog district warehouse is old and unused, a home of darkness and emptiness which only welcomed the rodents and parasites that infest Coruscant?s abandoned under-levels, and those who dared wander down to its deep recesses. A perfect seclusion for the Sith.

The light that fell from the sky illuminated through the great constructs high above trickled into the building?s dilapidated center, exposing every crack that scarred its walls, and the rust that consumed most of its ancient metallic flooring, evident by the crunching sounds that cracked underneath the steal enlaced boots of Gokas Sedig, as the bounty hunter approached his masked employer.

?The droid failed?? he rasped with disgust for the spoilers of his assignment. ??those pesky Jedi fodders were there, they destroyed the droid before it could even reach the landing port.?

The dark figure gave no response that Gokas could read, shadows encompassed most of his features and his black garments and hooded face did not help the bounty hunter?s vision any better. Were it not for the tiny pools of light in the open room, he would surely have thought that he was talking to no one. ?Good!? the voice still seemed to come from nowhere and this response did not help ease Gokas?s confusion.

?Excuse me??

?All is going as my master has foreseen?? the unknown Sith elaborated.

?Does that mean I still get paid?? the befuddled bounty hunter questioned once more, his gloved hands making tight fists of annoyance.

??that depends how well you handle your next assignment.? The cloaked being said, before disappearing into the darkness. ?I will contact you when I require your services next, don?t leave the planet.? He warned leaving Sedig alone in the barren structure.


High above the ruins of the under-levels, stands one of the single most impressive constructions to ever pierce through Coruscants great skies. The Jedi Temple, which towered over all other buildings in the New Ossus district, like a great guardian of peace, residing over the land. It was indeed an inspiring sight to every beholder, but to the few who were blessed with the gifts of the Force or those who just happen to believe in the universal bond, it was place of security, prosperity and compassion. The glistening towers alive with activity as it was a place of restlessness, within the tower of Council, where the some of the greatest Jedi Masters of the order gather to discuss business and assign duties to their knights and learners who follow under the disciplined guidance of the twelve beings who spent most of their time within its corner-less walls.

Tonight seemed to be no different, as Jedi Kenobi and Jedi Oden stood in the center of the council room surrounded by their twelve respected elders, set above the temple in its highest tower, reporting on the events prior to this evening?s arrival from the Ambassador of Naboo.

Aled waited patiently while Obi-wan explained, to great detail what happened at the landing port, specifically to the three senior masters in front of them, with Master Yoda Skywalker, Kenobi?s former master directly at center, Master Chevacca to his right, Mace?s old teacher and to Skywalker?s left Master Dorshe Oden, Aled?s Mother.

The Assassin droid, Aled?s fall and lucky rescue all up to Mace?s escorting of the Chancellor?s transport to the Ambassador?s plaza suit. All an all, a pretty uneventful night for the Jedi as a whole by Obi-wan?s descriptions, but this only proved the Masters assumptions of a greater evil at hand. ??and that?s how it all happened.? Obi-wan concluded as Yoda Skywalker, scratched his beard attentively.

?You acted wisely Jedi Oden.? Skywalker said with a neutral tone that led i

 

Okay second post of the night, hopefully it will be enoungh to hold you all(two so far who have posted) down for the next five days while I'm away...Enjoy and please get others to read this and have them post thier thoughts too.

CHAPTER 3


The great hall of the Jedi temple was quiet as the sunrise pierced through large colorful windowed art, made of stained glass that filled the entire open space with a warm relaxing light. In this hall many Jedi came to sort things out, to try and focus their minds on the Force to seek the answers to the questions they could not find themselves.

For the past twenty-ones years Yoda Skywalker has been spending as much time as he can afford to take refuge in this place. Ever since the discovery of the cloned Old republicans, the bearded Jedi has been searching for the solutions to the questions that have plagued him since that fateful day on the once lost world of Kamino.

The Sith resurgence, the War that came from it now seemingly gone quiet after the attack on Russan three years ago. The Sith had taken another crippling blow to their numbers and with New republic now aware of Sith?s return other systems have offered their navy?s to help aide in the War effort. This only helped to increase the odds of the Jedi Forces over the Sith fleet. The Jedi were sure to succeed in this war of the light, but if that were so how would the Prophesy of the Old Sun apply to all that has happened?

Like an illness, Yoda was plagued by anxiety that something was wrong. What it was? He did not know, nor did he truly wish to find out for it might lead to things he didn?t want anyone to experience, not again. The prophesy foretold of a great Battle upon the rock of the universe how could that great battle happen if the enemy were not equaled in power to fight against the Jedi let alone the combined number of the Republic fleet. Master Skywalker was befuddled, he had read through the text of the Old Sun Prophesy and viewed the recording left by Quinlan Vos more times than he can recall in the past twenty years. ?Deeply disturbing indeed?? he said, breaking the silence of his mind as he stopped to look at one of the busts in the great hall. This one held special meaning to Yoda Skywalker, unlike the numerous paintings of his ancestors and even the large statue of his namesake which prospered over all other memorials in the long alcove with its slinking ears and powerful stare, the sculpture of Pacres Oden will always serve as close a reminder of the pain of War.

Yoda stood in front the bronze portrait of the man he was proud to call ?friend?. Pacres was a person of great strength in the Force, something that was well passed onto his son, Aled. ?If only you were here to see him Pacres?? Skywalker said to the stone faced head of metal. ??You would be so proud of Aled.?

?He already knows?? whispered the compassionate voice of Dorshe? Oden as she lightly stepped to the side of her fellow Jedi Master. ??he has always known.? She implied with unfailing knowledge that her husband did know of his son from beyond this plain. ?There is no death??

??Only the Force.? he finished with a smile looking down to see Dorshe?s silver eyes locked with the eyes of her husband?s bust. ?He was a powerful Jedi, much like his son.?

?Yes?? she agreed. ??but Aled has already accomplished so much, I believe his attunement with the Force is something that surpasses his father?s own abilities.?

?I have seen it as well?? Yoda continued to gaze at the statue. ??Noble Aled has a great future ahead of him.? those words stuck in the back of Yoda?s mind as if his worries of the Old Sun Prophesy were intertwined with the Young Oden as his mother had said to Skywalker before.

It was possible, many stranger things have happened in the past of the Jedi?s history and Aled was born on the exact same day the clones were all hatched. Could it be that this meant a greater connection? Aled was taught along the side of the Jedi clones as were many his age in the Temple and

 

Oh this story just keeps getting better and better. Great descriptions, I am intrigued of what is going on with Aled and Padme. Very interesting. I'd have to say Aled is my favorite character. I love his character and his personality. Very charming he is. I can't wait to read more!

 

com on guys, I need some help keeping this story alive, I'll get back into the swing of it tomorrow but I need you guys to cheer me on here, where is everyone?

 

Okay guys I'm going to keep posting even though I don't have as many readers as I would like, I'll keep doing what I love, and that way when I finally publish the story all of you will wish you had the chance to read it for free free on the JC.


so with that said here is the forth chapter.




*************************************


CHAPTER 4


Obi-wan led his search to the Jedi Archives, concealed beneath the great temple itself and quite possibly the single largest library of knowledge in the New Republic. The young Knight knew that he would need to consult its databanks in order to dive deeper into this investigation, and possibly uncover the mystery that had shrouded over his senses. For as hard as he tried to meditate on the matter of the Ambassador?s assassin, he and Mace came up short in their combined efforts, only finding small eddies that hinted at dark intentions, but still left them without any clues to help further their search.

Mace was out in the Coco district having told Obi-wan that he was going to check with an ?old friend? to see if he could help shed some light on the dark assailant, leaving Obi-wan to search through the vast Jedi database for clues, not an easy task considering that despite the room?s immense size and the great number of Jedi in the temple itself, he was the only one in the library, him and the head Librarian: a certain talkative protocol droid named ?C-3PO?.

?Why greetings Jedi Kenobi?? the droid chimed as he waddled toward Obi-wan at his work station that bared a small view panel to access the Library?s computerized database. ??what brings you to the archives this day?? 3PO finished with a light hearted sound.

Obi-wan reluctantly looked up to the golden robot beside his desk, knowing that 3PO was always happy to see him anytime. Not that C-3PO wasn?t pleased to see anyone, especially with the over voiced programming common to this protocol droid, its just that everyone else wasn?t a clone of arguably one of the greatest Jedis of all time and a person who C-3PO had met once before over two thousand years ago. A fact that this Obi-wan had grown accustom to, but still uncomfortable about, even with his Jedi training creating experiences that part him far from his predecessor. As a Jedi Obi-wan Kenobi and the many replicas of Old Republican Jedi like him discovered on Kamino have grown to fulfill the destinies set before them by the Force, but like all Jedi today: born or hatched, he too will have to overcome all obstacles set in that path, including C-3PO. ?I?m currently investigating the assassination attempt on Ambassador Amidala?? Obi-wan responded not removing his gaze from the screen in front of him. ??but I can?t find any designs that match up with those belonging to the suicide droid?s hull in our records.? He sighed, having finally looked into 3PO?s two glowing visual sensors.

?Perhaps this suicide droid is not based from any particular race, maybe the creation of an individual?? the protocol droid informed. ?If it is not identified by the archives then it most likely does not exist?? he stated. ??although anything is possible? Obi gave the librarian a cock eyed look, feeling as if he had been through this before a long time ago, but strangely he knew of no such memories.

?I see, well then let?s hope Mace is fairing much better in his search.? Obi-wan sighed as he stretched his tense nerves from sitting down in the station for so long. He extended his arms outward, as if he were ready to take flight then let them go limp and fall to his sides as he moved toward one of the many aisles of text that towered over all who were in the immense room.

Obi-wan stopped midway to the end of the large bookcase to his left, 3PO looked on as the human guided his hand over the shelves until it stopped over a small leather bound collection of text. He then read aloud the title on its cover. ?Kuboris Tell?mag jon??

???For all, is one??? C-3PO translated, knowing of the book quite well. ??the memoirs of Jedi Master Kyle Katarn. In its words l

Thanks Jazz, what did you think?

 

Up!
JS

 

Thanks....I guess...but hey I won't complain, I'll just take that as a "I like it" or "it was great" thanks again.

 

Wow, Quite good Sketch.
:Bows: Thank you for giving me the heads up with the PM.

Maybe more read this then what you think, they just may "lurk" and read.

 

Thank you Jauhzmynn that really makes me feel better. What do you think of the story so far?

 

up up and away!

 

HA! Oh Mace got Vera good there! A stupid, green creature like a Hutt trying to get away, not likely! And I loved the humor with Obi-Wan and C-3P0 of 3P0 having abilities to use the force.
Very good, it's getting better and better!

 

uppers, next post soon.

 

Great story so far! Favorite characters--Aled and Mace (best of the best) I like this Padme much better than the other Padme...Not sure why though...The plot has me intrigued. Especially some things that are merely hinted at right now. I want to find out more about the pale blonde haired man (great description--got an immediate picture of him that I would love to draw) who was meeting with someone who has GOT to be Sith? Who is it--I must know more!

Also got to know what Quinlan Vos' recording was about and why Yoda Skywalker has viewed it so often--what is the connection here? And what is the Old Sun Prophecy?

You are going to tell us--right?

 

Maybe Jan, you'll all just have to keep on reading to find out...

 

Okay, here we go CHAPTER FIVE, Ripping and ready to go go go!
***************************************




CHAPTER5


On the highest level of the Galactic Senate Hall, Supreme High Chancellor Antilles sat behind her desk reviewing one of her many in depth news feed transcripts from the past day?s events as her personal communications device activated, projecting the voice of Juvas, her aide. ?Forewoman Antilles?? an audio voice chimed.

Majel Antilles pressed down on her comm. transceiver. ?Yes Juvas??

?Ambassador Amidala has arrived to meet with you Chancellor.? The rough voice replied.

?Please see her in.? Antilles ordered as she rose from her seat to welcome her guest into the royal office of deep purple walls and warm trim. The large oval shaped entry door parted half way to allow the entrance of the Nubian Ambassador and her handmaidens, accompanied by Jedi Oden who was wrapped in a large brown robe that signified his universal peacekeeper status. An offset compared to the extravagantly dressed Amidala who was now in a cream colored frock that was layered by several detailed scarves and ponchos, her hair held up into a bun with many looping tresses supported by a golden tiara. ?Ambassador, I hope you slept well last night considering the evening?s events??

?Of course Madam Chancellor?? Padme turned her gaze to Aled as she continued. ??with Jedi Oden at my guard how could I not?? she laughed lightly to the Chancellor?s amusement as Aled maintained his composure but managing to share a small glow of pride by Padme?s comment.

?I cannot argue that point, Noble Aled and his family have often proven to me that they are quite remarkable individuals. He has his mother?s wisdom and his father?s strength.? Antilles gestured her hand at the two plush seats situated next to each other in front of her large desk. ?Please have a seat, both of you.? Aled and Padme, still flanked by her loyal handmaidens, took their seats without much second thought as the Chancellor returned to her own much larger chair behind the muted purple desk. ?Madam Ambassador, I?m quite positive that you are aware of the purpose of the Senate assembly in the next few days?? Antilles said in the clear tonality of a politician.

Padme nodded in compliance as she spoke. ?Yes Chancellor, we are finally adjoining to vote on whether or not the Unknown territory worlds should be further explored and any sovereign worlds we have already encountered should be allowed into the New Republic.? Aled was focused on the Chancellor as he calmly awaited her next words.

?It is to the opinions of many that this action would create a new way to help combat the Sith threat which is opposed to our great society.? Antilles said in a manner of heavy hearts. ?What do you believe Ambassador??

?My people feel it best that we welcome the Planets of the unknown territory into the Galactic assembly?? Aled?s eyes turned to the woman on his right not speaking out of turn but concerned by what he was hearing. ??Naboo has kept very close ties with a small system called Duconar and their leader who has been openly interested in long lasting relations between our worlds and seems to have much to offer the Republic itself.? She concluded, still hovered by her four loyal bodyguards and servants.

?I see, in what way?? Antilles pressed.

Padme took in a small breath before continuing. ?From what I have learned, Docunar?s technology is highly integrated into their society, which means that they are subject to advancement and progress, especially in the scientific fields.? she placed her hands into the lap of her dress, folded one over the other into the shimmering fabric of her garment.

Forewoman Antilles noted the Jedi?s hidden look at the Ambassador?s words. ?Noble Aled, do you have any concerns you wish to express concerning this matter?? Padme turned her gaze at the Orveasian sitting next to her, his silver eyes dancing from her to the Chancellor as he answered.

?I don?t believe it a wise course of action Chancellor?? this was not w

 

Very interesting...
up!

JS

 

I loved the humoring with the Jedi arguing with Obi-Wan about the Falcon. That was funny.
And so some people know already the connection of Amidala and Aled, this is getting interesting.
Darth Vader...I'm liking it, I can't wait to read more!

 

Thanks guys I'm glas you all enjoy it
the next chapter will be up later tonight.

 

Okay another chapter, I'mm currently half way through writing Cahpter 8 Right now. But in the mean time, here is the sixth to keep you all from waiting on a good story.

************************************

CHAPTER 6


Coruscant was by all measures the brightest planet in the galaxy, it had been said that the lights from her surface, could be seen as far as Tatooine on any given night. Her towering monoliths of illumination and artificial glow are a complete tribute to the endless extent of the Republic?s ingenuity and its citizen?s dexterity towards progress. After the great Yuuzhan Vong War, during the early days of the Skywalker Era, Coruscant was left in ruins, with billions dead on the planet alone and her buildings reduced to mere dust. The republic questioned whether or not to return to the capital world after the war but the citizens of Coruscant, like Luke Skywalker and many of his own family didn?t give up on her so easily. It only took thirty years before all the restoration was finished, restoring most of the planet to her prior condition. A grand feat indeed by anyone?s standards, one that would not have happened if not for the Jedi people themselves who earned the respect of the Coruscant people and the Republic as a whole, due to their efforts in spearheading this campaign, The Jedi have also reestablished their role as the Peace keepers of the universe and their identity as a sovereign race. The planet today serves as a constant reminder of the New Republic?s strength and will to live on for the prospects of peace and prosperity. Lighting the night sky of endless worlds within the galaxy like a great star, always shining, never seceding into the darkness of the universe but this never kept darkness from trying to smother that light.



Midday of Coruscant, Chancellor Greesure, one of five other residing members of the Senate high chancellors board was waiting on the main deck of a landing platform that hovered low between several prominently tall skyscrapers in hopes of avoiding any other attacks, like the attempt on Ambassador Amidala?s life, only a day ago. Being the high ranking official that he is, Greesure was flanked by his own ensemble of personal guards all clad in the uniform blue armor and cloaks that set them apart from the average New Republic law enforcers.

Suddenly, one of the guard?s communiqués broke the patient silence with the voice of a non-human space traffic controller. ?Traffic controller-beta-niner-seven reporting: Duconar diplomatic vessel making its final landing approach.?

?I copy.? the guard responded as a strange looking vessel came into the groups vision. It was solid black vessel, dark and imposing, which was shaped like a giant one-winged wedge, something that seemed a bit out of character from the peaceful descriptions of Docunan race, but they are also considered a very abstract race, and Greesure was assured that ?black? was a symbolic color of royalty, much like that of the Naboo which could also explain why each planet, given their far distance from each other have managed to keep ties together. Even during this time of War with the Sith and the limited journey?s into the unknown territory which Duconar lies at the edge of.

As the vessel eased down onto the landing flat, Chancellor Gressure and his guards approached the Duconar transport as its main entry hatch slip open, revealing the Queen of the quest planet: Queen Lafonlo. Who was dressed in a Rose red coat that poured over an elaborate black gown that hooded over her head tightly around the edges of her face, concealing most of her tan forehead and all of her hair, Lafonlo was accompanied by only two of her own black armored bodyguards, who were much larger than their Coruscant counterparts, in build and in height with equally larger pulse rifles. Needless to say, Gressure was a bit intimidated.

?Welcome your highness.? Gressure said in a diplomatic tone.

?Greeting from the highest to you also Chancellor.? The Duconar royal returned in an exotic and rhythmic accent.
