A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
STAR WARS
Out of the Frying Pan...
The Clone Wars are in full swing. The Republic's new clone army has proven itself time and again against the forces of the Separatists. However, despite many wins, the war continues. The Dark Lord Count Dooku was killed by Anakin Skywalker, but the cyborg General Grievous remained alive. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was sent to Utapau to destroy this last bastion of the Separatist leaders. However this was not the only story during this time of troubles.
Taris was, millenia ago, a rival in size to Coruscant itself; it was a giant planet-sized city with few areas left unpopulated. During the Jedi Civil War, it was assaulted by the Sith fleet until all that remained were ruins and destruction. Eventually a settlement of Humans, trying to eke out an existence on a dead world, formed and Taris once again was marked on the Republic's map as a stopover to ships going farther OutRim. That marking would be their undoing however, as the Separatists chose this planet as one of their targets during their assault against the Republic. They have built an outpost over the remains of that settlement after their attack and now the once proud people of the planet live in sheds and dugouts in the shadow of the Separatist Communications Array. This installation is used to monitor passing space travel for signs of Republic activity. Presently, the Republic and its Jedi have brought war to this planet again...
SCENE 1
Interior Hangar of the Incinerator, an Aggressor-class Assault Cruiser
Twi'Lek Jedi Master Lun Xan, Cerean Jedi Padawan Ka-Femi-Odo, ARC Pilot Delta Six and a squad of Clone Troopers are assembled near an LAAT next to a wing of others just like it. They are discussing the plans for the assault on Taris.
Lun Xan (his voice weary from war): Delta Six, your job is to take us in behind the communications array. While the main strike force keeps the droid armies occupied, it should be relatively undefended. We will go in, knock out their communciations permanently and then infiltrate the command center. Our purpose here is to give them a blind spot in their sensor grids. This is how we're going to do it.
Lun Xan (turning to his apprentice): Ka-Femi, stick close to me. The Jedi Council demanded I take you with me on this assault, and I do not question their judgement, but I am concerned for your safety as an inexperienced warrior. I lost one padawan to this war, I'll not lose another.
Lun Xan (to all in the group): Good fortunes all, and may the Force be with us.
SCENE 2
Interior, Briefing Room, Separatist Command Center on Taris
Nemoidian military councilor Deji Korthay, Bothan mercenary Raek Plot'fey, droid commander OOM-15, and a squad of Super Battle Droids are arrayed around a holotable that shows the electronic outline of a Republic assault cruiser landing on the planet. The Nemoidian is gesturing wildly at the image.
Deji (voice fettered with frustration): How could this have happened? They slipped through our sensors and are landing on our planet. We are not ready for this. We should retreat. Someone should tell Mistress Dofina.
OOM-15 (in a carefully articulated electronic voice): Sir, General Grievous ordered us to remain here. Mistress Dofina has ordered me to keep you here. Retreat is not an option.
Another droid (entering the room): Sir, they are jamming our communications.
Deji (throwing his hands up in a submissive manner): Fine. Mercenary. Take these battle droids and see what is going on out there. The communications array is your first priority. Protect it at all costs.
An explosion rocks the building.
Deji: Now!
SCENE 3
Exterior, a forest clearing near the ruins of a large building, overlooking the Separatist communications array
Old Man Goresh, human soldier Callon Kordyran, shaman Miran Chandala and a ragtag group of warriors are sitting around a small fire, frequently looking at the large antenna dish that dominates their view of the Separatist base. Nearby, unbeknowst to the rest, is a small black droid hovering silently in the air, its designation is DRK-1X.
Goresh (his eyes glazed over as if he sees what others can not): My friends, the time for our uprising has begun. Our saviors have returned from the sky and it is our duty to help them. We used to be just like them, Callon. You remember. We had ships and speeders and cities. (he gestures to the ramshackle buildings in a valley below them)Now look at us. My son, I need you to take these men one last time into the fight. A great burden has been placed on your shoulders, but I trust you are strong enough to handle it. Rid this planet of these machines so that I can see our home free... once... again.(he begins to cough, a phlegmy, bloody substance escapes his mouth, he spits it out and looks at the shaman) Take her with you. I feel her presence will help convince the spirits of our dire need.
SCENE 4
Exterior Communications Array
The sounds of battle at the Command Center are reaching a crescendo as the Republic Clone armies clash with the droid armies of the Separatists. Explosions can be seen in the distance, LAATs hauling troops fly low to the ground, Vulture Droids try to clear them out. Blaster fire lights up the night sky. In contrast, nearly a kilometer away, the Communications array is deathly quiet.
A single LAAT lands near the dish, disembarking two Jedi and a group of Clone Troopers camoflauged for forest battle. For the moment it is alone, but seconds after it lands, blaster fire erupts from one of the buildings near the antenna 100 meters away and a group of Super Battle Droids appears from behind it. Not moments after that, erratic blaster shots ring out from behind an outcropping of trees that is a 200 meters north of the array. The fight for the Communications Array has begun!
Initial actions everyone....
