Introduction
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there was a remote planet called Kamino. Kamino was the home of the Galactic Republic’s clone army, a stormy planet that rains everyday. It used to be full of life long ago but sadly, it was victim to huge climate change. All the ice on the planet melted and made a global flood that turned the planet into a water world. Kamino was also the home to another creature: the species of the Kaminoans, the creators of the Republic’s clone army and facility.
The real creator was a jedi named Sifo Dyas, a human male who requested the Kaminoans make the grand army of the Republic due to the invasion of Naboo. The clone template was a man named Jango Fett, a deadly bounty hunter. He was a skilled hunter and a deadly assassin. The reason the clone army was created was to stop the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). The CIS is a group of trading groups that wanted to leave the Republic because of the Republic becoming greedy by raising taxes which made it harder to trade with the civilians. The poorer citizens of the republic couldn’t trade because of these heavy taxes.
Sheev Palpatine (Darth Sidious) wanted to become chancellor, persuading Nute Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation into making a blockade around Naboo, a planet with a big population, and invade it. Nute Gunray thought that the occupation of Naboo would scare the Republic into dropping their taxes so Nute Gunray agreed. However, the Republic was outraged and allowed Palpatine to make a new election to become chancellor. Palpatine won, ignoring the Trade Federation and the blockade was destroyed which sparked the war between the Republic and CIS. The members of the CIS were the Trade Federation, the Techno Union and the Intergalactic Banking Clan.
Training On Kamino
Kamino the home of the Republic’s clone army where every clone has been trained and prepared for war. We didn’t know what was to come of the war. We thought the war would be easily won. The hero of the Republic little did we know the war was much more frightening than we anticipated.
In the cloning facility, a clone was made and given the code ‘FN501489’ to be part of the Galactic Republic’s clone army to destroy and neutralize conflict in the galaxy. FN501489 is one of billions of clones all made to do only one thing: to fight for the Republic. FN501489 and four other clones were assigned to the final test of the clone’s training.
“Get ready troops” the teacher said in a stern voice “the training course involves a lot of teamwork and communication skills. There are droids guarding the arena, take them out and take the flag back to the start”.”Yes sir!” the clones reply simultaneously. The clones suit up and make their way into the arena. Reprogrammed OOM series battle droids from the invasion of Naboo guard the training course. “Alright this is it troopers” FN501489 says in a confident tone “It’s now or never”. The clone squad moves in formation and takes cover behind a wall “Move it troopers!” FN501489 shouts. They move vertically while shooting droids left and right “Watch out!” FN501489 yells as a training droid armed with a heavy blaster cannon comes into sight. The clone named FN934746 rolls to cover. FN501489 shoots the droid in the head and it falls from its tower and hits the ground with a loud clunk. “Go go go!” FN501489 shouts to the squad as they all move up and climb the towers to get to the top. Four droids guard the top. The squad takes out three but one of the three droids ducks down and shoots one of the clones. Luckily, it merely grazed his leg. “Ugh!” FN501489 shoots the battle droid in the head. “Sniper get down!” said a clone trooper named CT20916. The sniper training droid took a shot at one of the clones, narrowly missing. FN501489 shoots the droid in the chest and head. The droid falls off the tower and hits the ground with a loud clunk. FN501489 lifts up the flag, all remaining droids shut down.
“Great work troopers you’ve completed the final test of the training course. You are now an official member of the Republic’s Clone Army”. “Now get ready troopers you will be escorted to the hangar for your medals”. The clones get ready for their graduation ceremony. They get dressed in their officer’s clothes and head to the hangar. “Great work troopers, you are now officially a part of the Republic’s Clone Army”. “Your first mission is to rescue the jedi from the Geonosis arena and drop them off at the front lines of the battle”.
The Battle of Geonosis
When we first arrived on Geonosis, we thought this battle would be an easy victory for the Republic. We were so wrong. The battle was nothing like the simulations in all our years of training and simulations. It doesn’t really prepare you for all the screaming and blood does it? We were assigned to destroy the droid factory but we were out gunned and this wasn’t a fair fight.
I was on one of the many LAAT gunships (LAAT standing for Low Altitude Assault Transport) that were on their way to pick up the jedi from the Geonosis arena made purposefully for executing prisoners with huge beasts. It was a long flight to the arena and all was silent until we got there. We arrived at the arena and it was filled with battle droids because the jedi had escaped the beast’s clutches and they thought they could simply send an army of Battle Droids down to destroy them. Yes, that sounds like a lot but you are underestimating the power of one jedi, let alone an army of jedi. Unfortunately, the jedi were trapped.
The gunships flew down and hovered there waiting for the jedi to hop in and destroyed many droids in the process. “Let’s move it troopers!” FN501489 yelled while taking down two battle droids. The jedi hop into the gunships. Only one person was killed while picking up the jedi. FN501489 and the other clones take down more battle droids before lifting off the ground and flying down to the front lines. “Alright troops the real battle begins” FN501489 said to the rest of the clones on the gunship. The gunship makes a loud hovering noise while they fly to real battle. FN501489 looks down and sees millions of droids firing simultaneously “There’s no way we can make it out alive!” said one of the clones in a frightened tone “We are soldiers trooper. If we work together, we can make it out alive” FN501489 replied with a confident tone in his voice. FN501489 looks down again at the conflict while the gunship flies over to the Republic’s side of the battle.
Droids everywhere and huge OG-9 homing spider droids. Homing spider droids are huge walkers made by the Separatists. Homing spider droids were the solution to our huge AT-TE walkers. There were also B2 Super battle droids and DSD1 dwarf spider droids; the small version of their OG-9 homing spider droids with a huge cannon mounted onto the front of its face. The gunship lands on the rough, dry and sandy ground. The clones all rush out of the gunship and make their way to the front lines. They were led by jedi general Mace Windu.”Let’s move it troopers” FN501489 said as they marched into the conflict.
The dust cleared as they were faced by hundreds of droids firing straight at them. FN501489 ducks behind some rocks and the rest of the clones fire at the droids. Another clone kneels down and starts firing and ducking every time a droid fires at him. “They’ve sent in the supers!” a clone shouts and another destroys two battle droids. One of the millions of B2 Super Battle Droids fires a wrist rocket- it hits the ground and blows up two clones: one injured, one dead. “Watch those wrist rockets!” FN501489 says as he shoots the super battle droid that fired the wrist rocket. They move up and destroy ten droids. FN501489 ducks for cover before an OG-9 Homing Spider Droid fires its laser at him. A passing by Hailfire Droid launches a missile at him.It blows up the surrounding rock, sand and dust and creates a huge crater. He falls in and his helmet cracks; he blacks out for a minute. FN501489 wakes up and sees that a B2 Super battle droid has found out where he has landed. The menacing metal droid aims his wrist rocket at him. But to his surprise, a clone trooper from his squad shoots it five times in the chest. The super battle droid stumbles back a few steps while accidently firing his wrist rocket into the ground next to two droids. The super battle droid’s wrist rocket destroys those two droids in the process.
The clone trooper fires again, this time six times. The super battle droid stumbles back again. He falls into a crater and gets run over by another Hailfire droid. “Nice shot” FN501489 says to his squadmate. FN501489 gets up and climbs out of the crater and hides behind some rocks. FN501489 peeks through the rocks and sees a Droideka; a three legged droid that can curl up into a ball and roll around. Because of how slow these things were to walk with their three legs, they had the ability to roll. These dangerous killing machines had a personal shield that they activate to defend against blaster fire. Another feature about this droid is that it has three radiation sensors. “Destroyer take it out” FN501489 says to the clones. The Droideka activates its shield. The only downside for the Droideka is that they had weaker shields so they could afford stronger blaster cannons. One clone trooper throws a thermal detonator next to the Droideka. It blows up the shield and Droideka at the same time. “Nice throw” FN501489 says to the clone that threw it.
One of the DSD1 dwarf spider droid fires at one of the clones killing him instantly. Two other clones started to fire at it. One clone decided to jump on top of the droid and tried to shoot it through the top of its head “Wait, those droids self destruct!” FN501489 shouts to the clone. The Dwarf spider droid explodes violently and the clone that was on top of the droid gets launched into the air and hits the ground dead.
FN501489 rushes to help the clone troopers and destroys five battle droids. One B1 Battle droid runs while firing at him. FN501489 dodges and hits the battle droid in the head with the back of his blaster rifle. The droid’s head gets knocked to the side and falls over. FN501489 shoots it in the side. Another Super battle droid starts walking in and fires a wrist rocket at him. FN501489 ducks it and the wrist rocket misses and hits the ground. FN501489 throws a thermal detonator at the super battle droid and it explodes violently.
An OG-9 Homing Spider Droid fires its laser at him. He ducks and one clone trooper with a rocket launcher fires a rocket at the OG-9 Homing Spider droid.The center of it explodes, the legs trip and it falls over and crushes ten droids. More clone troopers arrive at the battle as well as more droids. A Republic AT-TE which stands for All Terrain Tactical Enforcer fires a heat guided missile at a Hailfire droid destroying it instantly. The remains of the droid vehicle were scattered around the battle and some fragments crushed droids. More droids rushed to the battlefield punching a hole through the Republic’s defenses. But what the droids didn’t realise is that the Republic could flank them so they did.
The droids who punched through were trapped and they were all destroyed. The clones held off the droids and the Republic pushed the CIS back. There were tons of Techno Union ships ready to take off. LAATS fired heat guided missiles into them in between the fuel tanks and the tip of the ship. A Hailfire droid fires a targeting missile at an AT-TE which ruptures the fuel tank and it explodes in half a second. Another clone fires a rocket at the hailfire droid which goes over, hitting a Techno Union ship. It creates a huge blast. The Techno Union ship falls and crushes the hailfire droid and ten other droids. One LAAT with two jedi on it flies over the battle destroying droids as it goes. SPHA which stands for Self Propelled Heavy Artillery were deployed to destroy Core Ships that were landed on the ground. They started to take off but didn’t get far as they were under heavy fire. They stopped in the air and started to tip down. It started falling and created a massive shockwave destroying nearly all the remaining droids.
We were winning the battle. The remaining droids that managed to survive the shockwave were quickly destroyed. We have captured Geonosis and all the clones cheer as the last core ship goes down. The droid factory on Geonosis was destroyed. Every droid has been destroyed and dismantled. The Republic fleet sends a squadron of LAAT gunships to pick up the surviving clone troopers and take them back to Kamino to train and prepare for the other battles of this war.
After Geonosis
The victory on Geonosis brightened the spirits of the clones. They then realise even a single soldier could change the war. Count Dooku escaped after the battle and we are still looking for him. FN501489 and his squad receive medals for their bravery and teamwork in the battle. They are given real names instead of code. FN501489 is now named squad commander Creve. FN987299 is named Scope for his sniping capabilities. FD59898 is named Ammo because he carries a lot of supplies and is great with a blaster rifle. FA384874 is named Scout for his scouting and spotting enemies’ capabilities.
The Republic's clone army was not needed for a while after the battle of Geonosis so they kept training to be even better than they were. The simulations on Kamino were just computers. The real training was with training droids. The squad trained more and more each day to get better than they were before. Clones enter the training arena “It’s only like it was yesterday that we were cadets” Creve says to his men. “Yes sir i remember everything” Ammo agreed and they push the button to start the training. The training droid starts up and starts firing at the clones.
The squad moves out and Scope snipes two droids: both headshots. Ammo starts spraying lasers at the droids. Scout tells them where the droids are and Creve takes down four droids and takes the flag. “We’re getting better and faster at this” Creve grinned. They stop training and go eat their lunch. Their squad chats to each other about the war and droids. “Those Droidekas are really hard to defeat!” Scout said to the table of clones in a surprised tone.”I know, last time I tried to take one out, I nearly got sprayed with lasers!” Scope added.”I narrowly ducked a wrist rocket fired by a super battle droid” Creve bragged. “I took out ten of those things” Ammo boasted “Really i took down twelve” Scope added “Now now boys we can brag about how many droids we’ve destroyed later” Creve suggested. “Yes sir” the clones reply as they get up from their seats and head towards the barracks to sleep.
Defense of Kamino
One year later… sirens go off, Kamino is under attack. Asajj Ventress and General Grievous lead an air attack but what the Republic doesn’t know is that the space battle was just a diversion. The ships dropped debris into the sea with aqua droids attached to them. The aqua droids build Trident Class Assault Ships in the sea then they deploy the assault ships they land on Tipoca City and start slicing into the buildings. They deploy Aqua Droids and B1 Battle Droids.
Sirens are wailing as the squad moves out. The clones wait in the hangar of one of the buildings as a Trident Assault Ship slices through the building. The clones start firing at the ship but it doesn’t do any damage. That armour is too thick for blasters. A clone picks up a rocket launcher and the ship deploys aqua droids. The clone with the rocket launcher gets shot by one of the many aqua droids as the clones start firing at the droids.
Creve takes down three aqua droids and Ammo sprays the droids with blaster bolts “Eat that clankers!” Ammo shouts at the droids. Scope is outside of the building sniping aqua droids and Scout shot two of the droids. General Grievous steps out of one of the trident ships “Kill them all!” Grievous yells to the aqua droids. The clones are still firing as the aqua droids push through Kamino’s defenses. 99, the oldest clone who had deformities in his back, rushes to help the clones by giving them weapons and ammo. “99 get out of here!” ARC trooper Havoc yells as he gets shot in the chest “Agh!” Havoc yelps “This is no place for you” Havoc shouted to 99. Havoc gets shot in the head by one of the aqua droids dead. 99 runs further back.
Meanwhile, the squad led by Creve are taking out the aqua droids that are outside of the building. Scope snipes three aqua droids and Ammo sprays the aqua droids with blaster bolts “Eat laser clankers!” Ammo shouts to the droids while destroying them. Scout sprints over to a group of injured clones. Scout takes out a medical pack from his backpack he jabs them with a needle. “This will reduce the pain, you’re going to be alright” “Thank you Scout” the clones reply. Scout moves the clones to the back of the conflict.
Scout rushes back to the invasion. He takes out three aqua droids. “Scout where have you been?” Creve asks “I was helping the wounded” Scout replies “Great job Scout” Creve approved. We need more help out here Creve says while firing at the aqua droids, Creve destroys four. “Yes sir” Scout said. Scout fires at the aqua droids taking down two. Ammo is still spraying lasers at the droids “Dismantle that droid scum!” “calm down Ammo you’re going to alert the whole separatist army” Scope mutters. “What’s that? I can't hear you over all this firepower!” Ammo replies while taking down nine aqua droids. The droids are retreating now “Ha ha where ya going?” Ammo yells at the droids he shoots them down. The droids all get destroyed and dismantled. One droid dives into the sea. “Good thing those droids can’t swim!” Ammo shouts “They can swim Ammo, they’re aqua droids!” Scope barked. Scope snipes the diving aqua droid. The droids have retreated. Asajj Ventress tried to steal clone DNA but failed because Anakin Skywalker and the rest of the clones stole it back. Asajj Ventress and General Grievous escaped and their fleet fled. Kamino was successfully defended and all the clones were happy their home world wasn’t taken over by the separatists. “Men, we lost a lot of good men here today…” Creve informs the rest of the squad sigh deeply. “It’s a good thing we managed to hold off the separatists” Ammo gloated “That is correct” Creve smiled the squad went back to their barracks to grab some supplies to help all the other wounded clones.
The squad never forgot that day, the day their homeworld was attacked, the day they saw their brothers die in front of them. They learned that they weren’t even safe at home so they needed to be on their guard even in the face of an invasion. But even if morale is low we can still prevail.
Space Battle of Coruscant
The CIS has launched an invasion of Coruscant. Coruscant is one massive city that surrounds the entire planet. They sent their huge fleet to invade Coruscant’s surface. Of course that was the plan but they were delayed by the Republic’s fleet stopping them in their tracks. The CIS send their vulture droids and the Republic send their fighters.
Our squadron is assigned to fight in a battle we cannot lose. If the CIS wins, the Republic will fall. A clone trooper named Airhead for his great piloting skills and good at fixing things he was a bit airheaded though but thats how he got his nickname. “Welcome aboard Airhead!” Creve greeted “Thanks” Airhead chuckled. “Control to pilots prep your starfighters!” one of the hundreds of CIS cruisers fires upon the Republic cruiser the squadron is in. “The CIS are attacking this is not a drill i repeat this is not a drill!” the clones get into their ARC 170 fighters and take off. Vulture droids swarm all over the place picking off fighters one by one “Vulture droids take em out!” Ammo warned “I’ve got them!” Airhead replies to the warning and swoops in destroying three of the vulture droids Airhead spins out of the way of an oncoming vulture droid. Airhead turns around and dives in while firing at the vulture droid until it explodes. Airhead quickly dodges the remaining pieces of the wings that were about to hit him. “Vulture on your tail!” Scout warns Airhead. Airhead turns around and fires, hitting one of the droids wings. It flies off into the vacuum of space leaving the vulture droid immobilized. It flew off in a direction spinning out of control until it exploded.
Ammo is now assigned a different role in the battle. He must land his fighter and replace it with a BTL Y-wing Bomber. Ammo lands in the venator’s hangar and gets out of his starfighter and walks over to the bomber. Ammo grabs a ladder and places it beside the bomber as he climbs in the cockpit and takes off. “I’m going to drop some bombs on that CIS Cruiser” Ammo warns the rest of the squad “I need you take down some fighters, I can’t drop the bombs if there are a dozen fighters flying around.” “I’ve got it” Airhead replied as he swoops down and fires upon the vulture droids. One of the vulture droids takes two blaster bolts to its head. The head flies off, spinning away while the remaining body of the vulture droid flies into another one, causing both of them to explode. Airhead locks on to a vulture droid and fires a missile at the droid. It surges up behind it and it touches the back of the vulture droid, exploding instantly.
The remaining parts fly into another droid. “That’s all of them” Airhead says to Ammo “Alright i’m going for a bombing run cover me” Ammo flies over to the CIS Cruiser and drops bombs on the thrusters and head command center. The thrusters are smoking and the cruiser stops in its tracks. The command center blows up, sending the crew flying out into the vacuum of space. Now the Cruiser has no commander to lead the droids inside the ship. The ships engines stop pushing the ship and the cruiser slowly sinks towards Coruscant. Due to the engines failing, the gravity of the planet pulls it down. “Yeah that's one down!” Ammo shouts! “Woohoo! That showed them droids” Airhead cheers. Suddenly, a cannon from another Cruiser fires at Airhead. Look out, cannons! Scout shouts in the intercom to Airhead, but it was too late. Airhead glances over as the plasma powered cannon shot fires into Airhead’s ARC-170 fighter. One of the wings flies off and the ARC-170 spins out of control. “Help!” Airhead screams as the fighter turns round and round. An enemy Tri-Fighter notices Airhead’s helpless spinning. The fighter turns round and fires three missiles right at Airhead. Scout tries to stop the Tri-Fighter but it was too late. The missiles hit the ARC-170 causing it to explode instantly. In a fit of rage, Scout destroys the Tri-Fighter “Airhead!” Everyone cries in disbelief “He was a great soldier” Creve sighed “If it weren’t for him we wouldn’t be here” Scout said glumly. “It’s time we left this in the past, we must get back to our Cruiser “Agreed” Scout sighs. So the four of them fly back to the Cruiser. They land in the hangar, get out of their fighters and head back to the barracks. The Space Battle of Coruscant is over. The Cruisers land on Coruscant to be repaired, one of the cruisers returns to Kamino and the squad walks to the barracks to get some rest.
The Battle of Kashyyyk
Two years later... there were many battles being fought on different planets. Our squad was assigned onto Kashyyyk. Kashyyyk was the homeworld of the wookies, a species of alien covered in hair. They were magnificent warriors that didn’t need blasters, only brute force.
We were on a special mission to stop the droid forces from capturing the wookie home world. The wookies helped us greatly but still this battle would have been lost without the help of Jedi Grand Master Yoda and Luminara Unduli. One Republic Venator class star destroyer lands on the swamp like planet of Kashyyyk. We made our way down to the beach and waited in the trenches that were dug into the sand. Scout uses his binoculars to look out onto the horizon. Scout spots twenty five Corporate Alliance Tank Droids crawling towards the beach. “There are twenty five tank droids moving up onto the beach sir” Scout tells Creve “Good we’ll blow those things sky high” Creve tells Scout in a confident tone. “Ammo get ready to use those rockets to take them down” Creve grinned “Yes sir!” Ammo replies. Ammo aims one rocket launcher at a tank droid as it moves up onto the beach. “Charge!” an OOM Commander Battle Droid shouts to the droids on the side of the tanks. The wookie warrior general shouts to the rest of the wookie warriors to attack.
HMP Droid gunships swoop in taking down some clones and wookie warriors. “Fire those rocket launchers!” Creve shouts to Ammo “Yes sir!. Ammo fires a rocket at one of the tank droids it hits the tank droid head on and it explodes violently. The droids that were riding on the side of the tank droid fell off the side of the tank and were all destroyed or run over by other tank droids. “Nice shot Ammo!” Creve cheered as the droids got off the side of the tanks and started firing. The droids killed thirteen clones and the Republic destroyed or dismantled fourteen droids. Clone turbo tanks arrive and one of them fires a few heat guided missiles at more tank droids.
The turbo tank blows up three tank droids. The droids that were around the tank droids were crushed by the fragments of metal. Four more tank droids arrive to the battlefront so the clones send in more reinforcements. Ammo reloads his rocket launcher “Fire another rocket” Creve orders and Ammo fires a rocket at another tank droid. The rocket creates a huge blast that sends the battle droids surrounding the tank droid to fly into the air. The droids land with a clank. Scout is firing at the droid with his DC-15s blaster carbine. “I can't get a good shot from here!” Scout yells “Wait no don’t do it Scout!” Creve shouts as Scout runs to the frontlines to get a better shot. “Get back here, that’s an order!” Creve commanded but Scout couldn’t hear him. Scout sprints past the trenches and takes down three battle droids before hiding behind some cover. Scout peeps above the trench as he takes down two more battle droids.
Four battle droids make their way over and the droid army captures a trench. The trench they captured happened to be the one Scout was hiding in. Four battle droids spot him and fire. Scout is hit two times in the chest. Scout yells “Help me!”. But it's too late… he gets shot in the back two times as he stumbles and falls to his death. “Nooooo!” Creve screams in shock but it's too late to call for help. The droids have already pushed the clones back too far to get a medic to rescue him. “Scout!” Ammo shouts in a distressed tone “No Scout!” Scope yelled at the same time as the squad. “It’s too late to save him now…” Creve murmured as more tank droids move onto the beach. “His death will not be in vain. He helped us get through many battles, we’re brothers, we stick together” lamented Creve.
Meanwhile, on the Kashyyyk command post, “Commander Gree the time has come” a mysterious figure cackles “Execute order 66” the mysterious figure commanded. “It will be done my lord” Commander Gree replies with a grim face. The commander turns off the hologram and walks slowly to Master Yoda. He turns his head to a Kashyyyk trooper standing next to him. The commander nods as well as the trooper standing next to him.
They turn to Master Yoda. They aim their DC-15a blaster rifles at him. Suddenly, Master Yoda jumps while igniting his lightsaber and cuts both their heads off. The commander and Kashyyyk trooper both fall down dead. Meanwhile, back on the battle the clones are still battling the droids. Creve is surrounded by droids and the droids fire at him as Creve dodges the shots. His hologram projector falls out of one of the straps attached to his chestplate. It is crushed by a droid. Creve grabs his blaster rifle and destroys two droids then he smacks one of the battle droids in the head with the back of his blaster rifle. He dismantles the droids and destroys five more droids.
Suddenly, an HMP droid gunship fires a missile next to him. He flies through the air and hits the ground. He is knocked out for a bit. He flashes back to Geonosis and has a flashback of being in that crater surrounded by droids. Creve wakes up confused. He notices he is surrounded by droids. Just like on Geonosis he thinks as he grabs his blaster rifle. Destroying the droids that surround him, he rushes back to one of the trenches. Avoiding the fire from the CIS droids, he heads back to where Ammo and Scope are. Ammo fires a rocket at a HMP droid gunship. It crashes into a tank droid creating a huge blast destroying fifteen droids. A DSD1 dwarf spider droid starts firing at Ammo. Scope shoots the spider droid. It falls down and self destructs, destroying two droids that were running beside it.
Ammo fires one more rocket at a tank droid. It explodes, destroying five droids that were riding on the side. Ammo grabs his Z-6 rotary blaster cannon and sprays blaster bolts at the CIS army “Eat lasers CIS scum!” Ammo destroys ten droids and bats one of the droids in the head. The hard hit created a dent in the droids head. Ammo starts firing again. The clones push the droids back.
Ammo grabs a rocket launcher and fires it at an HMP droid gunship. It crashes into a tank droid, destroying eleven battle droids. The Republic has pushed the droids back to the water. Wookie gunships arrive and destroy more tank droids and HMP droid gunships. The droid army is pushed back and we have won the battle. Creve was separated from the group and had a damaged comlink so he didn’t receive the order. The victory on Kashyyyk was a great victory for the republic. We left as heroes and many years later we’d return as conquerors.
The Fall of The Republic
What I remember about the fall of the Republic and rise of the new Empire is how quiet it was. During the flight to Coruscant nobody said anything. Not any thoughts or doubts about the extermination of the jedi. Not a single word, even when we got out of the gunship and marched onto the jedi temple’s staircase. It felt slow to walk up that staircase as if the future was changing dramatically.
~Ammo
Ammo receives a hologram message. Scope watches as he answers it and a mysterious figure emerges “Execute order 66.” “It will be done my lord” Ammo replies with no hesitation. Ammo and Scope are sent to terminate every jedi in the jedi order. Ammo and Scope hop on one of the LAAT gunships and fly to Coruscant with Anakin Skywalker now to be renamed as Darth Vader. The clones didn’t have the slightest bit of guilt or regret in their faces. That may have been because they had helmets on but you could tell. They didn’t have a slight hesitation in pulling the trigger. The jedi were exterminated quickly. Only a few jedi were left hidden in exile. The jedi temple had been taken by the new empire. The jedi temple was searched for special information and holocrons about the jedi. All the guards were killed. After the jedi temple was taken over, many species were entered into slavery like the wookies for mining resources for the new empire and to build our new super weapon called the Death Star, capable of destroying entire planets.
The jedi temple after order 66, was not destroyed but kept as a trap for any remaining jedi hidden in exile. They will think the jedi have survived but in reality it is just a trap. There was a beacon attached to the jedi temple sending a message to the remaining jedi to come back to the jedi temple, the war was over. But they never caught whiff of what was going on until it was far too late. The beacon was later destroyed by Obi wan and Yoda. The clones stationed there were also destroyed, the droid factory on Mustafar has been shut down and all members of the CIS have been destroyed by Darth Vader
A few years after the clone wars, we were given new armour and weapons. We were also given a different rank named stormtrooper. And the 501st and special forces were put into a different legion called Vader’s Fist. We were given thermal detonators and an E-11 blaster rifle. The E-11 is a small blaster rifle that has a foldable stock. It had a stun mode and a safety mode and The Death Star has been finished.
The New Empire
The rise of the empire is finally complete. The Emperor has a tight rule over the galaxy and uses Lord Vader as his apprentice. Imperial propaganda posters were put up on every wall on every largely populated planet like Coruscant and Tatooine. The empire has a tight grip on the galaxy. But the more the emperor tightens his grip on the galaxy, the more planets seep through his fingers. Vader’s Fist being completely made up of clones from the Republic, the Empire thought the clones were too corruptible and decided to recruit human stormtroopers. We never got used to the new recruits.
Ammo puts on his new armour “This armour is so uncomfortable!” Ammo muttered “Stop complaining, at least we have some sort of protection” Scope argued “Hey what happened to Creve?” Ammo questioned “I don’t know, I think we got split up at the time of the battle of Kashyyyk” Scope replied “You think he’s alright?” Ammo inquired “I’m pretty sure he’s doing fine” Scope replies again. “What do you think he’s up to?” Ammo asks curiously “I don’t know” Scope replies in a confused tone. “I hope he’s alright” Ammo said “I do too” Scope wondered.
Meanwhile, on Kashyyyk, Creve is still wandering around trying to find his way back to the battle. He makes his way back to where the conflict ended. He looks across the sandy beach “Where is everyone” Creve wondered to himself. Creve climbs up to the abandoned command post and it’s like the whole planet is deserted. Even the wookies are missing. Creve finds an abandoned V-wing but the wings are damaged so he finds a set of welding tools and tries to fix the V-wings wings. Creve cuts a bit of scrap metal into the shape of the wings and welds it to the missing parts of the wing. He gets inside. “Now how do i fly one of these things?” “I really should have paid attention in the flight simulations.” Creve mutters. Creve pushes a button and he takes off. “Woah, well I guess that button is to take off and this one is forward?” he pushes a lever forward and the V-wing lands again “Guess I was wrong” Creve takes off again, this time pushing a different lever. The V-wing moves forward and as he moves the lever back, the V-wing moves back. “I think I got the hang of this” Creve says as he takes off and he flies off the planet “I don’t have enough fuel to get to Coruscant, but I can reach Tatooine.
He flies all the way to Tatooine and lands at Mos Eisley spaceport. Mos Eisley is a town on Tatooine filled with smugglers and criminals. The Empire sent a few squadrons of sandtroopers on Mos Eisley to take care of any rebel uprisings and fights. Imperial propaganda was spread everywhere on the walls of buildings. “Now to find a ship with a hyperdrive” Creve mutters to himself he walks into the cantina. There is a band playing upbeat music in one of the corners and a lot of people sitting in the cantina. Creve asks one of the people where he can find a ship with a hyperdrive “Do you know anyone who has a ship with a hyperdrive it can spare?” Creve asks one of the people sitting down “Ronkoor Mass has a ship, go ask him” the person replies “Where is this Ronkoor Mass?” Creve asks “He’s over there” the person points to a table a scruffy looking man sits at one of the tables with a wookie next to him. Creve walks over and sits next to them “You must be Ronkoor Mass” Creve said “That’s me now what do you want?” Ronkoor Mass said in an annoyed tone. “I heard you have a ship with a hyperdrive?” Creve asked “I sure do” Ronkoor Mass replies. “Can I have it?” Creve asked “If you can pay” Ronkoor Mass replies “How much?” Creve asks “Somewhere around ten to one hundred thousand credits” Ronkoor Mass replied with a smirk “I don't have any credits” Creve pleaded. “Well stop wasting my time!” Ronkoor Mass snapped as Creve leaves the cantina. Creve sees a poster stuck to a wall he rips it off and looks at it. The poster says the rebel alliance needs you join the rebellion today. “The Rebel Alliance huh” Creve mutters to himself “Maybe I can get a ship there” He says to himself.
The Battle of Scarif
The Empire has underestimated The Rebel Alliance. The rebels have led several rebellions and revolts on planets owned by The Empire like Jedha, Coruscant and Tatooine. The rebel forces defeated a lot of stormtroopers during those rebellions and battles including the battle of Scarif. Scarif is a planet filled with beaches and islands with palm trees. It also has an imperial base built on top of the surface.Ammo, Scope and a battalion of stormtroopers are sent to stop the rebellion from stealing the plans of the Death Star. If they steal the plans, they could find a weakness and destroy the great battle station. “Those rebel scum stole the plans!” Ammo said furiously “Rebel scum” Scope sneered. Sirens go off, the stormtroopers rush to the entrance of the bunker as the doors open. A rebel soldier fires upon the stormtroopers and manages to defeat ten stormtroopers. The stormtroopers fire back, defeating two rebel soldiers. The stormtroopers push the rebels back a bit as they threw thermal detonators that explode the surrounding sand and trees. More Stormtroopers arrive on the beach. The rebel soldiers hide behind boxes filled with food rations, ammo and weapons. One AT-ACT standing for All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport walker fires at the rebel soldiers, blowing up five of them. Meanwhile, above Scarif a space battle is going on. TIE fighters are sweeping through space destroying X-wing starfighters. Two Nebulon B Escort Frigates enter the space battle as well as two Imperial class Star Destroyers. A Hammerhead Corvette, two X-wing starfighters and a U-wing manage to get past the shield before it closes. An imperial star destroyer moves in on one of the frigates and a squadron of Y-wing bombers launch their ion bombs onto the star destroyer. The star destroyer has been crippled- the engines have stopped working. “What happened?” an Imperial officer wondered “We’ve lost all engine power!” another officer shouts in fear. The Hammerhead Corvette is sent to push the star destroyer into the second one so it does. The Hammerhead Corvette hits the side of the star destroyer so violently, it starts to push the massive ship. It gets closer to the other one, about to crash into it. “Reverse engines full power!” one officer shouts to the rest of the crew on the other star destroyer but it’s too late. The two star destroyers collide with each other.
The two star destroyers started to dip down a bit, affected by the gravitational pull of Scarif pulling the star destroyers down. The two star destroyers destroy the shield generator below that created a shield across the planet, stopping anything from getting through. That includes ships and meteorites from crashing onto the surface but now that the shield generator is destroyed, the star destroyers crash onto the planet’s surface. A massive shockwave sends rebel soldiers and stormtroopers flying into the air and landing with a thump. Ammo and Scope change into their pilot uniforms and get into their TIE fighters and take off into space. Ammo locks onto an X-wing starfighter “He’s in my sights I’ve locked on to him” Ammo says. Scope locks onto another X-wing starfighter. “I’ve locked on to another one” Scope said. “Fire” Ammo commands. Ammo and Scope both fire at the X-wing starfighters. The X-wings are hit by the laser canons of the TIE fighter. One X-wing is smoking, the other one explodes. “Great shot Scope” Ammo cheers. “The Rebels have obtained the death star plans, destroy them!” a voice says from inside the cockpit of the TIE fighter. “The rebels are escaping, after them!” Suddenly Darth Vader’s ship, named the Devastator, jumps out of hyperspace. X-wings accidently crash into it because of the unexpected arrival of this star destroyer.
The rebel ship named the Tantive IV, the ship carrying the Death Star plans, has been boarded by the Empire. Rebel soldiers guard the door. Suddenly, the door is sliced by the Empire. The door is inflamed with sparks and explodes open. Stormtroopers rush into the hallway of the Tantive IV while firing upon the rebels. One rebel soldier shoots a stormtrooper in the chest and the stormtrooper falls backwards, stunned. The rebels retreat further into the ship’s corridors. Stormtroopers rush to find the plans. Ammo and Scope search the ship to find the plans. The rest of the rebel soldiers are taken prisoner as well as the astromech droids roaming around the ship. Ammo returns to Vader and says “The Death Star plans are not in the main computer” “Search the ship. If you find any passengers, I want them alive!” Darth Vader shouts to his men. Ammo and Scope check in the escape pod room and find Princess Leia. “There's one set for stun” Scope says to Ammo and another stormtrooper. Princess Leia shoots Scope. He falls back and Ammo tries to catch him but misses. The other stormtrooper sets his weapon to stun and fires. “She’ll be alright, tell Lord Vader we have a prisoner.” “Scope!” Ammo picks up Scope and carries him to the main room. “Medic!” Ammo shouts. A medic rushes in and takes off the chestplate and patches up the blaster wound. “He’ll be alright” the medic says. Scope wakes up “What happened?” Scope said slowly. “You were shot by Princess Leia” Ammo says to Scope “I blacked out as soon as i got shot” Scope says to Ammo. “I tried to catch you but I missed.” Princess Leia is captured by the Empire. An escape pod that has been launched is believed to be where the plans are hidden. Ammo, Scope and a squadron of stormtroopers are assigned to protect the Death Star.
Death Star Assault
The Rebel Alliance have stolen the plans of the Death Star and have figured out its weakness. The weakness of the Death Star was its exhaust port that led to the main reactor. If two ion torpedoes were launched into the port, the Death Star would explode.
The Death star is under attack by the rebels. The rebels have sent a squadron of x-wing starfighters to fly around the death star, destroying TIE fighters and turrets. They destroy three TIE fighters as the squadron moves into the trench of the Death Star, the equator. More TIE fighters move in. Darth Vader gets into his TIE Advanced X1 and takes off. Darth Vader moves into the trench with two TIE fighters escorting him through the trench to destroy the X-wings. The Turrets stop firing at the X-wings because the starfighters are too fast and small to hit with turrets. Darth Vader destroys two Y-wing bombers. One X-wing fires at the Death Star and stormtroopers inside the Death Star stumble as the hallways rumble. Three X-wings are in the trench. Ammo and Scope get into their pilot uniforms and get into their TIE fighters and take off flying around the Death Star, attacking X-wings. Darth Vader fires at one of the X-wings and it explodes.”I’m in range” the rebel pilot says. “Just hold them off for a few seconds..” “There right behind me!” the rebel pilot pled “Almost there…” the rebel pilot said to the other pilot. “I can't hold them off!” the rebel pilot squealed as Darth Vader fires at the X-wing and it explodes. The last rebel pilot fires his ion torpedoes “There away!” the ion torpedoes miss the exhaust port. “Did the ion torpedoes hit?” the radio asks the pilot. “Negative!” the pilot replies. The hallways of the Death Star rumble and stormtroopers rushing down the hallways stumble and trip. The rebel X-wing and Darth Vader’s TIE advanced fly out of the trench Darth Vader fires upon the last rebel pilot. It hits the X-wing’s engine which catches fire and crashes into the Death Star. The hallways rumble again and stormtroopers trip and stumble onto the ground. Three more X-wing starfighters join the fight. Darth Vader destroys one of the X-wings and it explodes. Darth Vader starts to fire at another X-wing. It hits its engine as it swoops down and crashes into a turret. Both the X-wing and turret explode. Darth Vader is about to destroy the last X-wing but suddenly, The Millennium Falcon destroys the TIE fighter escorts and Darth Vader’s TIE advanced x1 is flung into space. The x-wing fires its ion torpedoes. The torpedoes go through the exhaust port and the X-wing pulls up, flying out of the trench as the rebel fleet flies away from the Death Star. The Death Star suddenly explodes, sending a huge shockwave with a massive blast. Ammo and Scope manage to escape the massive explosion.
After the Death Star Explosion
Creve heads to the Rebel Alliance Recruitment Center. “I’m here to join the Rebel Alliance” Creve said to the rebel officer. “Your name?” “FN501489” “That’s a strange name” the rebel officer questions. “It’s a code name, you can call me Creve” Creve replies. “Ah well, what
profession do you want to be?” the officer asks. “Commander” Creve replies again. “You’ll have to have experience in that profession to become a commander” the officer informs him.“I am a commander of a four sadly that is now a three”. “Ok, that’s all I need to hear.” The officer writes it down on a piece of paper. “Ok, welcome to the rebel alliance. You begin your training tomorrow” the officer informs. “Alright, by any chance do your ships have a hyperdrive” Creve asks “Yes, why?” the officer inquired “Just wondering” Creve replies. “Creve walks away trying to find shelter in the town filled with criminals.
Tomorrow Creve heads to the place to train for three years for the right moment, the battle of Hoth. Hoth is an ice cold wasteland filled with creatures called Tauntauns that the rebels use to ride across the snow.
The Battle of Hoth
The Empire has recovered after the explosion of their battle station and have found the rebels’ Echo Base. They are sending AT-ATs standing for All Terrain Armored Transport, big four legged machines with cannons. The rebels are preparing for battle and evacuation of Hoth.
Creve and a squadron of rebels set up their defenses and wait. Creve grabs his binoculars and looks through them “Sector is clear..” Suddenly Creve spots a group of AT-AT’s “Not clear not clear!” Creve shouts to the rebels. The AT-ATs fire at the rebels and the rebels fire straight back at the AT-ATs. One of the AT-ATs fires at one of the rebel turrets and it explodes, the shockwave sending rebels flying. Airspeeders soar through the sky, firing at the AT-ATs “Their armour’s too strong for blasters” one of the pilots says to the others. One of the pilots fires a tow cable at the AT-AT’s legs and the speeder flies around the the AT-AT. The AT-AT trips over and Creve fires a rocket at the head of the AT-AT. The AT-AT explodes and pieces of the armour fly onto the snow. The shockwave causes an AT-ST which stands for All Terrain Scout Transport, that was next to the AT-AT to fall over. “Aim for the AT-AT’s weak point!” a rebel shouts to Creve. The weak point of an AT-AT was its neck and the bottom of the body. Creve fires a rocket at the neck of the AT-AT. He misses and it explodes in mid air. But the neck breaks apart anyway, the head exploding. The legs of the AT-AT stop moving because the control centre exploded and it stumbles over onto its side. “But I didn’t hit it” Creve says, puzzled as a figure appears next to the fallen over AT-AT. It’s one of the pilots of the airspeeders. “Their ship must have crashed!”
Creve says to himself “But how did the AT-AT explode if I missed?” Creve wonders. But Creve doesn’t have enough time to think about that, he’s in the middle of a battle. “Fall back, fall back!” one of the rebels shouts to the rest of them. But Creve was too busy aiming at an AT-ST. Suddenly, one of the surviving AT-AT’s fires next to Creve. Creve flies up and hits the ground. Creve blacks out, lying in the snow. The AT-AT drivers think Creve is dead but in reality, he is just knocked out. The AT-AT moves forward past Creve. Creve wakes up and looks around. “Where is everyone?” Creve turns around and sees the AT-AT walker moving towards the shield generator. Creve rushes to retreat back into the base and hides behind one of the AT-AT’s feet. Creve sprints back into the base. He is in the hangar of the base and sees the last GR-75 Transport. One of the rebels shouts to Creve “Get in get in!”. Suddenly, a squad of Snowtroopers rushes into the hangar and starts firing at Creve. Creve dodges the shots but one of the lasers hits Creve in the shoulder “Ack!” Creve shouts in pain. Creve jumps into the transport and the transport flies out of the hangar.
The Aftermath of Hoth
We were stationed on Hoth a harsh and frostbitten planet. We may have been freezing but we knew the Rebellion’s days were over. Our blood ran hot with dreams of victory, justice and rule over the galaxy.
~Scope
The empire’s victory on Hoth crippled the rebellion’s army. One of the AT-AT walkers destroyed the shield generator so the Empire’s fleet could launch an orbital strike on Echo base, the base that the rebels were hiding in. Fortunately for the rebels, they had GR-75 Transport ships to escape Hoth. The rebels were now preparing for a different battle.
The Battle of Endor
One year after the battle on Hoth, a group of rebels were assigned to destroy a shield generator on Endor. The generator was for the new Death Star. The Death Star II was still in construction at the time because parts of it weren’t finished. The Death Star II was much larger than the previous one. Little did the rebels know, there were many biker scouts roaming around the planet. Endor was a forest planet with tons of trees scattered everywhere. Endor also had lakes and villages built by the native people. The Empire was using the planet only for its resources. They cut down many trees and transported them on convoys.
The Endor bunker control room was guarded by a group of scout troopers. Creve and a group of rebels are hiding beside the bunker. The rebels sent a distraction which was an Ewok, a native of the planet of Endor. The Ewok hopped on top of one of the scout troopers’ speeder bikes, started it and took off. “Look over there, stop him!” one of the scout troopers commands to the rest of his squad. All the scout troopers got onto their speeder bikes except one, which had his stolen by the Ewok. The rebel squadron moves in on the bunker. General Han Solo distracts the last scout trooper and lures him into a trap. Creve and all the other rebels take him as a prisoner. A rebel grabs a proximity bomb and sticks it to the door. He sets the timer and the rebels hide beside the bunker walls. The bomb explodes and they bust through the door. They walk down to the main control room. The rebels took hostages, they were the crew members and stormtroopers sent to protect the bunker. One of the crew members tries to apprehend the rebels. The crew member pokes out from behind a wall with a blaster pistol. General Han Solo throws a metal box at him. He falls backwards and trips on the guardrails and falls into the reactor core. Little did Han Solo and the rebels know that the crew member had sent for back-up. Seven stormtroopers run into the room and secured the area. “Hands up rebel scum!” one of the stormtroopers shouts. The rebels proceed with no hesitation. The stormtrooper squad marched the rebels out of the room and outside were at least a hundred stormtroopers waiting. Ammo and Scope were a part of that hundred and couldn’t recognize Creve’s face. Creve and the rebel squad were forced to kneel. “That face looks familiar” Ammo mutters to Scope “Yeah you’re right, but I can’t put my finger on it” Scope replies.
Suddenly, a group of Ewoks ambush the stormtroopers. Ewoks blow their horns, the squad of rebels takes their chance while all the stormtroopers are distracted fighting the Ewoks. The rebel squad gets up and takes their weapons back from the stormtroopers. The rebels start firing at the group of stormtroopers, each of them taunting the soldiers of the Empire. Some of the stormtroopers turn around and fire back but stormtroopers start dropping like flies. The rebel squad keeps firing at the stormtroopers. Ammo and Scope fire at the rebel squad “Fire at those rebel scum. Scope takes down two rebels and Ammo takes down three. “Keep firing, those imperials are losing!” The rebels take down more stormtroopers. One stormtrooper throws a thermal detonator at a rebel “Get down!” Creve yells to the rebels. They dive out of the way of the thermal detonator. Small chunks of dirt and grass fly into the air. Creve’s ears ring after the sound of the thermal detonator goes off. In a confused brawl, the stormtroopers retreat to save losses. Rebels and Ewoks are still fighting, scouts on speeder bikes fly pass firing at rebels. The AT-STs that were standing next to the carnage, fire their cannons.
Creve reaches and pulls out a grenade from his back pocket “Throwing grenade!” Creve chucks the grenade and it passes through the small open window and into the driver’s hatch. The turret of the AT-ST explodes and collapses due to the thin armour. Chunks of the AT-ST’s armour fly everywhere, hitting other people. The AT-ST stumbles for a second then falls over, crushing a passing speeder bike. The scout trooper on the speeder bike flies and hits the ground. Ammo and Scope notice the explosion of the AT-ST. They run over and start shooting at rebels in the area. Scope fires a shot at a rebel. It hits him directly in the chest and two stormtroopers try to flank Creve. Creve grabs his A280 blaster rifle and his DH-17 Blaster pistol and points it at both stormtroopers. He pulls the triggers and the two blaster bolts hit the two stormtroopers both in the head. Creve rushes behind the broken down AT-ST for cover. Every so often, he would poke out and fire his A280 blaster rifle. Ammo notices this. “Split up, I’ll come back for you” Ammo says to Scope. Ammo moves towards the side of the AT-ST. Creve notices Ammo, both of them not knowing that they are friends. Ammo fires at Creve and one of the blaster bolts hits Creve’s side. “Agh!” Creve yells. Ammo recognizes the voice “Creve?” Creve peeks out and aims his gun at Ammo. “No, wait, stop!” Ammo yells but it was too late. Creve pulls the trigger and a laser bolt hits Ammo directly in the chest. “Ack!” Ammo screams in pain and collapses to the ground.
Creve rushes up towards him “Noooooo!” Creve screams in sorrow. “What have I done!” Creve says, regretting what he just did. Creve kneels beside Ammo “Y-you shot me” Ammo said glumly. “I didn’t mean to…” Creve sniffled. Creve takes off Ammo’s helmet. “I didn’t know…” Creve said. “it wasn’t your fault” Ammo reassured him. “No, Ammo it was my fault” Creve replies. “N-no trust me Creve, it was my fault. I didn’t e-even know that you were there either, I thought it was just another rebel soldier”. Creve looks down at Ammo’s chest wound. “Are you gonna be alright?” Creve asked “I-I don’t think I can keep fighting” Ammo replies. “Just leave me here” Ammo asks. “I can’t just leave you here, you’ll die!” Creve said. It starts to rain. Creve picks Ammo up and walks over to a nearby tree for shelter. Creve though does not realize that Ammo is dead already. Creve looks down at Ammo “N-no i-it can’t be!” Creve says in disbelief “He can’t be dead..” Creve rests Ammo against the tree. “He’s dead…” Creve sheds a tear. It falls onto Ammo’s armour. Creve is now crying like he has forgotten that he is in a war zone. After a while, Creve gets up and captures the Endor bunker that they have been fighting for this whole time. Creve sits down and leans against the wall of the bunker. He remembers all the times of joy and sadness he and his squad mates have shared together. The door opens and a scout trooper walks in. “Hands up, rebel scum” the scout trooper says while pointing his pistol at him. Creve looks up. He recognizes that voice, it’s Scope. “You too?” Creve asks “Wait.. Creve, is that you?” Scope replies with another question. “Yes, it’s me” Creve replies “You’re a rebel!” Scope shouts “And?” Creve says. “You betrayed the Republic, you betrayed the Empire, you traitor!” Scope shouts. Scope points his weapon at Creve. “I would normally take you as a prisoner but the Emperor’s new policy says that I must kill any traitors” Scope informs him. “How did you get in here without getting killed by rebels?” Creve asks “There is an army of stormtroopers outside of this door, we easily killed off the guards” Scope replies. “Any last words, rebel scum?” Scope asks. “Goodbye my friend” Creve replies. Scope fires his gun.
After the death of Creve, Scope went on to become a top tier sniper in the ranks of the Empire. But a few years after the Battle of Endor, the Empire fell. After the death of the Emperor and Lord Vader, the Empire couldn’t hold itself together. Years after the fall of the Empire, a group called the First Order rose up from the ashes of the Empire and became the new faction to rule the galaxy. The Resistance, a group of rebel freedom fighters sprouted out of the ashes too. Scope joined the First Order and lived out his days until he was shot and killed in the battle of Takodana.
The End.
