Years Before Now...<br/>3 Jedi step off of the troop transport, striding confidently towards one of the makeshift bases that had been established here on Boz Pity. And behind them strode 8 of their Clone Troopers, their little squad one could say. They have been on Boz Pity seeking out Separatist encampments, full on bases to bring down. They have been here nearly a month and a half, and thus far they haven’t found more than a couple of said encampments.<br/><br/>The oldest of the Jedi, he looks human. His dark colored robes sway as he walks, the light armor he wears glistening in the flood lights they pass. He has a few scars on his face, though for an older man he would still be considered very handsome. His name is Chopin, and he is one of the more experienced of the Jedi. But not the most powerful. Next to him walks a Twi’lek man, his skin a dark shade of red. His name is No’vus, and he hasn’t been a Jedi Master for very long at all. In fact, the young girl that accompanies them is his first student. His long head tails sway gently, every once in a while twitching as he thinks to himself. And said girl that accompanies them, her name is Yune. She is from Haruun Kal, her being marked by her dark skin and crystal blue eyes. Her hair is tied back into a ponytail, her body adorned with light blue colored robes. It was a traditional garb amongst her people, and therefore her master was lenient on this. No’vus was proud of young Yune. She was very powerful in the Force, he believed she had the potential to easily surpass him. But there are dark days ahead for all of them..<br/><br/>They get to their encampment, the communications officer excusing himself as the command party walks in. Their eyes fall to a holomap laid out on a table before them, and immediately plans are beginning to form in their heads as to what the next target will be. Where they shall search next. Normally they would start to discuss it with their Troopers… but Chopin notices something. The Clone Troopers seem to be distracted suddenly.. their emotions changed abruptly. Nothing that triggers any alarms to him.. just odd. They seem to be receiving communications in their helmets. He speaks in a calm, measured tone…  “Commander Greggs, is everything alright? Was that a communication from the scouting party?”<br/><br/>What happens next is little more than a blur of action. As one the Clone Troopers raise their rifles and begin to fire on the Jedi. Chopin’s hand grasps his lightsaber as the Clones start their motions, but he is not fast enough to activate it. He is hit no less than 6 times in the chest and head. He is dead before his body hits the ground. No’vus shoves Yune out of the line of fire as he grunts in pain. He takes a shot to the abdomen, his lightsaber being destroyed on his belt. He grits his teeth as he slams his hands together… and the two large tables that were used for strategies slam together, smashing the troopers between them. That won’t stop them though. Yune hurries to her master’s side, helping him up once he drops to a knee. He knows he won’t make it far. He holds his hand out towards his friend Chopin, and Chopin’s lightsaber leaps into No’vus’ hand. He holds it out to Yune, speaking in a labored tone.   “Yune.. run.. there are more coming..”  She shakes her head immediately as she tries to urge him to come with her, she feels tears rimming her eyes.   “No Master.. we can get away.. we can fig-“ she is cut off as he pushes her away from him almost angrily. He holds the lightsaber out to her.   “No, Yune. We have been betrayed.. I feel this is much bigger than just us.. the Jedi are dying..”  he can feel it in his heart, in his connection to the Force. He forces a smile for the young girl as she reluctantly takes the lightsaber, his hand moving to her shoulder.   “You are the last of us, Yune. Go, run… survive. Tell our tale to those who would listen..”  He nods to her solemnly as he tries to smile, and she says nothing as she stares up at him. But they both look away as they hear more troopers coming. Yune looks back to her Master… and then she runs. And as she runs, in the back of her mind she hears a soft, echoing whisper.   ~Don’t look back, live. Know the truth..~<br/><br/>Her eyes close tightly as she runs desperately, clinging to the lightsaber held close to her chest. And as she runs into the darkness, she hears a volley of blaster fire far behind her.. and then nothing.<br/><hr/><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… </span></strong><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Flight of the Ravenstar<br/>Five years have passed since what has been deemed as the GREAT JEDI PURGE.

Amongst them, getting supplies and meeting a possible new crew member. The ship’s ramp lowers slowly, and at an almost casual pace Yune strides down the ramp, her hands in her pockets. She doesn’t smile or anything, she almost seems to rarely do so.<br/><br/>She’s been a part of the Ravenstar crew for only about 3 months… after she was discovered stowing away. She thought it a brilliant plan, hide out amongst a bunch of crates containing some kind of rice or something.. she never did find out what that stuff was, but it was awful tasting. At first it was decided she would be dropped out an airlock, and then it went to just dropping her off at their next stop.. but she was able to convince them that she could be of use. That she knew a little about a lot, and she could be the kind of utility person maybe they needed… and here we are.<br/><br/>Yune steps off of the ramp, her hands moving from her pockets to rest upon the utility belt she wears. She seems to have it on almost all of the time, doesn’t she? Her clear blue eyes travel up amongst the brightly lit signage all around them.. ads for local bars, escorts, dancers, gambling… yep this was the pirates’ kind of place. Quietly she looks towards her fellow crew members, waiting for the captain to give them orders. She knows they’re here to pick up a new crew member or something, but they also needed supplies. Foodstuffs.. fuel.. various little spare parts and fixes for the mighty ship they call home..<br/><br/>
