Interlude: Order 69

Felucia

Aayla Secura sprinted through the wildlife of Felucia. Her Jedi training made traversing the alien plant life easy. She stopped when she met up with the convoy of AT-OT’s and AT-PT’s. At the head of this convoy was Commander Bly and a squad of his best clone troopers.

“I’ve scouted ahead, we will be approaching the droids rear guard if we press forward. Tell the men to hold firm and be brave. The planet will soon be ours!” Aayla told the commander.

“Then will follow your lead General.” Bly saluted the Twi’lek as they continued their advance. Bly heard a ping from his helmet of a priority message from Coruscant was incoming. The Commander slowed his pace so he was behind Aayla and he pulled out his Holo-communicator.

“Commander Bly, the time has come.” Said the hologram of Chancellor Palpatine.

“Execute Order…zzzzzzz.” The Hologram shuddered and then shifted to reveal Anakin Skywalker.

“Execute Order 69.”

Bly shook his head when he heard the message. Then looked directly at his Jedi General.

“Yes My Lord.” He muttered to himself. He turned off the communication and looked to his men who nodded and went to their blasters and switched them to stun.

Aayla looked back at the commander and saw his blaster raised at her. Her hand did not reach her Saber in time before the stun bolts hit her simultaneously. Aayla dropped **** in front of the men.

“Make sure she stays incapacitated and restrain her for transport to coruscant.” Ordered Commander Bly.

“Sir, yes sir!” His men shouted.

Kashyyyk

Jedi General Luminara Unduli was lucky to have survived a crossfire between an ARC-170 and a Vulture Droid over the skies of Kashyyyk. Her engine was hit and the star fighter made a soft crash on a Wroshyr tree branch. Sith Jedi master made her decent to the forest floor having sent a homing signal to Republic forces.

“The trees must be blocking my signal, I cannot contact Master Yoda.” She said tapping at her com-link.

“Master Luminara.”

The Mirialan Jedi sparked her saber at the three approaching strangers, but then dropped her defense when she identified them as Clone Commandos.

“We received your signal, are you alright?” Said clone commando Boss.

“Delta Squad…I’m guessing you are my rescuers.” She breathed in relief.

“We were lucky Fixer was able to detect it out here. The Wookiees don’t call it the shadowlands for nothing.” Scorch commented giving Fixer a shoulder bump.

“I appreciate the efforts Commando’s but where is your shuttle?” The Jedi asked confusingly.

“Ten clicks southwest. The only viable landing zone we could make.” Fixer answered.

“We’ll escort you to it General.” Boss continued.

“Hang on, where is your fourth squad memb—

Luminara did not get to finish her sentence until the stun bolt hit her in the back knocking her out. From a set of dark bushes, emerged Sev, Delta squads sniper.

“Good work Deltas, let’s get her to the ship.” Boss ordered.

“Yeah Sev, nice shot. But who’s gonna be the one to carry her…cause I’m not.” Scorch commented.

Sev slapped his shoulder. “Yes you are.”

Coruscant

“Sir, we have confirmation on Jedi’s Aayla, Luminara, Allie, Bultar, and Billaba.” Said a shock trooper clone. “Other female Jedi have also been accounted for on the capture lists.”

“What of Jedi Counsel member Master Shaak Ti?” Commander Fox asked.

“Unknown at this time. Reports place at the temple But she was not confirmed in the casualties.”

“And the Prime Target?”

“She was on the Venator Resolute with the prisoner Maul departing from Mandalore. They haven’t reported since then.”

“Very well, I’ll inform the Emperor.”
