(registration form can be found in the star wars charicter thread, must be level 20+ and atleast knight rank)
it is a time of war, a new sith order has arisen and began a series of brutal campaigns the droid army, lead by the mysterous and powerful tanna stari, her first conquest of the remaining imperials showed the galaxy that a new force has risen, the threat of the darkside is now stronger than ever, it now turns it's eye to the war weary republic as an easy target.
[above onderon, near dxun]
a massive cruiser comes out of hyperspace, near the jungle moon of dxun, inside the bridge droids were working on their assigned tasks: piloting the ship, patroling hallways, routine repairs. all of them seemed to be dated back to the clone wars, the cruiser could even be traced back to then. on the obervation deck a dark woman stood overlooking both onderon and dxun. "onderon, a former stronghold of the darkside, my guess is that they miss their old masters, i guess it's time i made my move." tanna stari said evilly, looking at onderon.
(feel free to join in)

The ships computers were humming away quietly as Jonan Seth meditated. His outdated cruiser was holding together but it needed some major repairs. The council would repair it for him but that might happen in a few weeks. For now while he was on his business for the council he’d have to get some minor repairs done. He had been sent by the new Jedi order to Onderon to pick up new cadets for the Jedi training academy. He was meditating when his computer screamed a warning signal when a large cruiser popped out of hyper space. Jonan jumped over to the council to check out the ship.
“What the hell? I didn't know that those cruisers were still being used.” At that moment Jonan had a feeling that the cruiser had some sinister purpose. “ I wonder what their doing here?” When he spoke that A young apprentice who had been sent with him for training came out of his cabin. His name was Brownen Black. He was a human with a slight tan and a promising pupil. He had shown fairly good skill with a double blade. This was going to be one of his final trials before he became a Jedi knight. Before Jonan could speak to his young apprentice a large explosion resonated across the hull. Causing warning lights to flash on the computers…
Now its someone else’s turn.

"hold your fire, damnit!" tanna said angrily. she walked tward the elevator then called it to the observation deck, when it arrived she set the destination to the command deck. how fiting for the republic to send a ship to witness their first defeat. as the elevator stopped at the command deck, she was greeted by a droid officer. "we are curently holding posistion near dxun." the droid said. when tanna reached the bridge, the droids dropped their tasks and saluted her at once. "begin the bombardment, i'll assist the soldiers when they land." she ordered, then she left the bridge for the hangar. outside the ship it's closest guns took aim at iziz and opened fire on the towers, some shots missing and hitting homes, shops,even the palace itself wasn't safe from attack. inside the hangar the landing craft were being loaded with MTTs and AATs, the fighters were prepared to launch as well. as tanna entered the hanger, there were phenominal amounts of droids being trans ported, she made her way to her personal shuttle, the only piece of modern technology on the ship, and even that piloted by a droid, she was acompanied by four upgraded destroyer droids, their shields were brought to modern standards as well as the aditions of small rocket launchers for anti personel and anti tank needs. the guns went silent after the loading ramp of the shuttle closed, both sides of the hangar opened slowly, each covered by a forcefield, when the massive doors opened it dropped, the fighters lead the landing craft out of the hangar, tanna's shuttle hidden among them, the two landing craft take off slowly but once they left, they decended on iziz, the fighters were in tight escort formations, what was left of the defense force wouldn't stand a chance, even against one cruiser's worth of troops.

The computers screams were dying down as soldiers of the Republic ran scurrying trying to fix the ship. Jonan was trying to figure out what happened when the cruiser that had shot the laser at them began to bombard the surface of Onderon. “What’s that ship doing?” Roared a captain. “Its firing on the planet you idiot!!!” the ship commander yelled at him. The crew of the tiny cruiser were trying to get into their battle stations. While they were preparing for battle Jonan Went looking for Brownen. “Brwonen, where are you?” Jonan was yelling trying to find the young apprentice. After a minute or two of searching he found Brownen patching up a soldier who had taken some shrapnel from an explosion. “Brownen when your done I need you up in the bridge” Jonan said to Brownen. He received a nod from the apprentice and that was it. He was to busy with patching up the soldier to say anything. Jonan then ran back up to the bridge. “What’s the situation with the ship commander?” Jonan asked in a rushed tone. “Were in no condition to fight a cruiser of that size. We don’t even know if we’ll be able to jump into hyper space because of the damage that ship caused.” The commander blurted out. He looked slightly ill and older beyond his years. “Do we have communication?” Jonan responded. The commander gave him a slight nod. “Then give two messages. One to the republic command that we have what appears to be an invasion.” The commander acknowledged the order then had the communication technician relay the message. The commander looked back to Jonan and said “What’s the next message?” “Send the next to the council… Tell them that the Sith appear to have returned…”

(the cool thing about the CIS is that they can drop 1 million troops without warning)
"change course to that ship, i want to 'test' their personel myself." tanna said, then the shuttle abruptly turned tward the enemy cruiser, it flew at full speed tward it. "i should show the ledi what a sith can do." she said as the shuttle docked, she waited for the wecloming party, she stood up from her usual spot and called her lightsabers to her hands. soldiers ran to the shuttle, waiting for the "boarding party". the entrance ramp slowly openedand the troops that did arrive pointed thier blasters at the ramp area, although noone left the shuttle, it became clear to the soldiers it was possibly a decoy. one of the sodiers decided to enter the shuttle, the next sound heard from it was a lightsaber being ignited, the soldier screamed but was killed before he could let off a shot. tanna tought it was time to reviel her existance, tanna slowly walked out of the shuttle, blasters were aimed at her instantly, she activated the lightsaber in her right hand, it produced a red blade, the one in her left hand activated producing a silver blade, the soldiers continued to look at her, she leaped at the closest soldier and made a neat diagonal slice starting fom his right shoulder, they began firing at her while at the same time, te droids that acompanied her rolled out of the shuttle. unfolded and began giving her cover, one even fired a rocket at a soldier trying to retreat. by the end of the skirmish half of the soldiers were killed by lightsaber, the other half died blaster fire either their own or by the droids. "stay here and guard the ship, i'll see how many poor fools are alive, after i'm done with them." she said then deactivated her lightsabers and walked deeper into the ship, intent on finishing off the crew and leaving.

Jonan ran around the crew quarters trying to help fix up soldiers who had been injured during the explosion. While he was bandaging the soldiers he heard the commander yell for him. When Jonan got to the commander he saw that the man was looking like death itself. He was paler than a ghost. The commander looked over at Jonan and said “They launched shuttles without us knowing… apparently one attached itself to the hull and an armed team of soldiers ran to the area to fight off borders… We haven’t heard from them in 4 minutes… Their last transmission was something about a red light… Then nothing… What do we do?” Jonan was shocked to hear the words red light. He then knew what was attacking without a doubt in his mind. “Get all the crews in life pods! Everyone needs to evacuate the ship right now! Commander send message to anyone outside of this command center to reach the escape pods and arm themselves.” Jonan ran off after that leaving the commander dumbfounded. But the commander did as he was ordered. Bronwen was patching up more soldiers when Jonan found him. “Bronwen, you need to prepare for battle. I don’t have time to explain but we have to guard the crew from a dark JedI. This may be a lot to ask of you but we have to hold him off.” Bronwen was caught off guard when Jonan said this but he nodded and said “I’m prepared for combat But what do you mean by dark JedI?” Bronwen was looking frightened and tense but Jonan knew that Tobos could handle himself in a fight. “Don’t worry bronwen, well get the crew out of here and then well evacuate with them to the surface.” When Jonan was done speaking a few seconds later the hatch opened and instead of soldiers running through a single body stood in the door way. Jonan immediately recognized that this was the dark JedI. Seeing as he was a Miraluka he didn’t have regular *sight*. He saw through the force. Which meant that he could tell which side of the force someone belonged to. This female clearly belonged to the dark side. “Bronwen your light saber!” Jonan quickly used the force to grab his light saber. As soon as it was in his grip it flared to life. Its silver color washed over his green hood and cloak. Bronwens light saber flared to life a few milliseconds after Jonan’s. They stood prepared for the attack but the Dark JedI just stood in the door way. As if waiting for them to make a move.

"how touching, the jedi want to die." tanna mocked. "your doctrine of self sacrafice can prove to be your downfall." she further mocked her enemies. she then ignited her red saber, then her silver one. "it's my lucky day, i not only conquer onderon for the glory of the darkside, but i get to slay two jedi on the side, a good day for the darkside." she said confadently. she then charged the jedi directly, going for the older one first. "FEEL THE WRATH OF THE DARK SIDE!!!" she yelled as she was performing a downward slash with her silver lightsaber while blocking the younger one with the red one.

Jonan caught the Siths blade with the lower end of his double sided. Bronwen had managed to block the attack that was thrown at him. “Get out of here Bronwen I’ll hold her off!” Bronwen gave a quick look and ran out the door. “What business does a dark Jedi have with Onderon?” But before he was answered he turned his enemys blade and jumped through the hatch and sealed the door behind him. “That should hold that woman for a few minutes… I hope…” Bronwen was still waiting next to Jonan. “I thought I tiold you to leave?” Bronwen gave him a look and said “I couldn’t leave without my trainer now could I?” With that Jonan gave him a smile. “We need to get out of here now. That dark jedi will beat us on this ship. Well take the escape pods and land on the surface of Onderon. From there well figure out what we need to do.” With that the rest of the crew and the two jedis managed to escape the ship.

tanna hit the door in anger, she knew that they would escape for onderon, she instead ran back to the shuttle. "get back into the shuttle, we're leaving!" tanna ordered , the destroyer droids rolled into the shuttle quickly then the ramp shut. "iziz, merchant quarter, now!" tanna yelled, then the shuttle took off for the planet. tanna took control of the com system. "juggernaught, this is tanna stari, destroy the cruiser, now!" she yelled into the comlink, then the cruser's batteries opened fire, reducing it to space debris in a matter of minutes. "were the hell is my master and the rest of the fleet? we didn't annex geonosis and take over kamino for nothing." she said angrily.

Deep in uncharted space a single cruiser floats. Engines cut off. Seemingly lifeless a single Human stood at a control council wrapped in a black and blood red cloak. His light saber flickered to life swatting at the air in a delicate pattern. He repeated this pattern several times before a red light appeared on his council. “What…” his voice cackled over the communications unit. “Sorry to disturb you my lord… But we found the tomb that you had us look for.” The messenger was nervous. Darth Xanthos could hear it in his voice. Nay he could feel the mans fright of the dark lord. It gave Darth Xanthos power to feel the fright of this man. “Has… anyone gone… Into the tomb yet… Worm…” He was enjoying every second of the conversation. “Nnnoo sir… Nnno one has gone in yet…” The man was stuttering. This pleased the dark Lord even more. “Then you have… failed me soldier…” Before the man could give a reason the dark Lord used his abilities to make the mans throat crumple under his own fear. Leaving the man to drown on his own blood he ordered someone else to pick up the comm unit. “I’m he here si sir!” a man said in a shaky voice. “I’ll be there shortly commander…” The man didn’t say anything for a few seconds then said “ Bu but sir. I’m not the commander. Yo you just killed him.” Then the dark lord made a sickening laugh. “Then you’re my new commander… I’ll see you in a standard hour…” He killed the comm link to the new commander. The dark lord always thought it was good to keep fear in his rank. He then opened a link to the juggernaught. “What’s the situation?”

" to put it bluntly, sir we need more troops in order to continue our assault effectivly." the ship's commander said flatly. menwhile tanna's shuttle reached onderon, she redirected it's course once again to the area before the sky ramp entrance, the soldiers were caught off guard by the boldness of the move, the loading ramp opened early, tanna was allready at the end of it then she charged into battle, followed by the modified destroyer droids, she massacred them quickly with the same result. tanna then entered the shuttle. "send a signal to my master, tell him that onderon is his for the taking." tanna ordered, then she left the shuttle as the pilot sent the signal. "okay, all of you, attack their rear, i'll take te palace." tanna ordered, the destroyer droids began tearing the soldiers' ranks apart from behind. tanna herself forced open the palace doors and charged in, the only thing that could be heard from it was blaster fire, one of them even tried to use a vibroblade to stop her, he instead became a human shield.

The cruiser was starting to sink into Onderon’s gravity well. Jonan knew that if he didn’t get the crew off the ship soon they would all be lost including him and Bronwen. “Everyone lets get in those escape pods. We’ll link up on the surface.” Jonan let everyone hear the plan on where to try and crash. Their plan was to crash on a secluded ridge about 11 clicks outside of the city. “One more thing before we leave. Do whatever you can to not be sucked into Dxun. AVOID it at all costs. There are predators there that we don’t want to run into.” Jonan had said his last words of warning. Of the 150 crew members he had been sent only 40 remained not including Bronwen. The crew and the two Jedi loaded their escape pods with the essentials and launched their pods. The pods were less than 30 meters away from their ship when cannon fire from the Sith cruiser rippled across the hull of their cruiser, sending shrapnel and knocking Jonans pod slightly away from the group. At first he thought that he was going to land in Dxun but it was avoided. The problem was is that he was going farther and farther away from the others. And now he could see the drop ships coming in wave after wave. He had already counted 32 that he could see. He didn’t know how many droids or soldiers could be fit into a single drop ship. He used the force to reach out into the ship. He couldn’t feel any organic intelligence so he figured they were droids. “I hope I’m still near the group when I land.” Jonan kept repeating on his way down. The pod gave a jerk when it hit the atmosphere. It had startled Jonan as he thought that the dropship was opening fire on him. When the nearest drop ship lurched and made a sudden turn to Jonan it gave him a bad feeling. He knew that it was preparing to fire upon him when they entered Onderons Stratosphere they were going to open fire upon him. Jonan grabbed his oxygen mask and prepared for the battle. They hit the Stratosphere a few seconds after Jonan managed to put his mask on. The back door of the transport opened and ten bots had been activated to shoot his pod down. With their combined fire power they whittled the pods bottom into nothing but a few pieces of scrap metal. When they bots saw no corpse fall through the hole the computed that there had been no Organic inside the pod. Before they could close the hatch Jonan flew inside. The dropship had leveled out in preparing for the landing in a few minutes, giving Jonan the upper hand in the fight. The first bot let a splash of plasma out at Jonan, who leapt to the side igniting his light saber and taking out five inactivated droids in the process. He then leapt towards the bot that had shot the plasma at him. After he made a vertical slice severing the bots life fluids he caught a warmth to his lower right thigh. The plasma almost reached him, he dodged to the left rolled managed to get his footing and lunged making a horizontal slash at the droid. He then realized that there was more than one droid about to fire. He took up a defensive posture waiting for the blasters, when the blots came he aimed at thrusting them back towards the activated droids, and most of them did that. But some of them landed on inactivated droids bringing them to life. Jonan realizing that being on the defense wasn’t going to help him used a force punch to knock half of the droids to one side while deflecting the bolts into them, knowing that those droids were finished he force pushed the rest out the hatch outside the ship. The whole battle had lasted just under 50 seconds. Jonan quickly looked towards the cockpit. “I hope this hunk of junk is piloted by a droid.” Sure enough a pilot droid sat at the controls. With a quick swipe the droids head was rolling on the floor. “I wonder if I can alter the co” before he was done speaking the ship lurched and was trailing smoke star fighters had been in the area and saw the droids falling out and opened fire upon the drop ship. The ship caught fire and several minutes later smashed into the ground. Resulting in a large explosion into an abandoned cantina.
