(Space Kashyyyk.)

Chapter three:

The fire raged engulfing everything insight, Ja-ni curled up in the corner and watched as Stormtrooper's shot at men who just started to live in their house a couple of weeks ago. She knew they called themselves Rebels, but she never knew what they were rebelling against, but she knew now.

One of the men that she started to get to really know tried to pick her up and escape from the house, but she didn't want to go she wanted to stay with her parents who had been shot and killed in the crossfire. The man kept on insisting that she go with him until everything went out of focus.

She could see what happening but could not control herself.

She grabbed the knife from the man's pocket and broke his wrist. She then jumped in front of a Stormtrooper and stabbed him with the knife.

When the troopers partner saw what she did he turned and fired. Before the blast reached her she threw the body of the trooper that she just stabbed in front of the bullet and before he hit the ground she jumped on his back and hurled herself in front of the other Stormtrooper and stabbed him.

Grabbing his gun she shot eight other Stormtroopers until one of them came up behind her and knocked her out.

Ja-ni jumped up from the bed sweating from the nightmare she just had. She looked at the clock that said 1600 hours had passed. They were going to land on Kashyyyk soon and she needed to be at the briefing.

She got dressed in her new clothes which her Master had told her was her new Sith robes and tied her long brown hair into a ponytail. She dashed out the door and ran towards the briefing room. She entered as quietly as possible seeing as how it had already started.

Now matter how quietly she entered she could not fool him the Dark Lord of the Sith. He would have to scold her later because Grand Moff Tarkin was addressing the troops about the plan at the moment.

In order to cripple the Wookies on Kashyyyk we will need to destroy the inner fortress before we can do any real damage. This is why I have appointed a team of Imperial Commando's to get behind the wall and then blast it from the inside. While this is being done we will provide decoy troops and draw there attention away from you. After the wall is broken we will send in support and capture them. Darth Vader will now tell you something before we head out. Said Grand Moff Tarkin.

Darth Vader rose from the chair and walked towards the podium and said. The Emperor himself has asked for you the 501st to raid Kashyyyk. If at all possible the Emperor wants some Wookies to be captured alive. Said Darth Vader.

A Stormtrooper stood up as if to give a comment. Proceed with your question trooper. Replied Darth.

Thank you sir. During the Clone Wars we were dispatched at Kashyyyk and killed most of the Wookies. How could they have restablished there army in so little time? Asked the Stormtrooper.

First trooper you did say that you had destroyed most of the Wookies and not all. Then some were in space on their own missions, and then reproduction counts for the rest of them. Replied Darth Vader.

The trooper then bowed and sat back down. You are the best of the best, you are the only ones who can accomplish this mission within fifteen minutes. Remember this is for the Emperor so give it your all. Said Darth Vader.

The lights in the room brightened and the 501st stood up and left the room. Darth Vader then walked towards her. She bowed and sounding a little angry. Vader said. Why were you late for the meeting Venus?

Venus responded with. Sorry Master my alarm clock didn't go off.

Make sure you don't make the same mistake twice I will not tolerate people thinking I'm going easy on you. Replied Darth Vader.

Yes Master. Said Ja-ni. As they walked to the bridge of the Executor she asked him. Why does the Emperor wish to have the Wookies alive? She asked him.

The people on Kamino think they have found a way to fuse the genes of Stormtroopers with other species and if you have ever seen the raw power of a Wookie you would know why. Replied Darth Vader.

Not to be rude Master but I have one last question. Said Ja-ni.

Go on, Vader said.

Why do the troopers have to do this within a span of fifteen minutes? Ja-ni asked him.

Because the foundations of the Old Republic are still standing and if the Senate heard about this they would be furious so we are going to mask the operation as a rescue mission. The Wookies will send a distress signal that there is a terrible virus going around killing them and we will come in and save them. After the experiments are finished we will give them some drugs and they will awaken on their planet and think that nothing had ever happened. The Senate will be fooled and the Emperor will have his new Stormtrooper's. Replied Darth Vader.

Vader and Venus stood on the bridge as they watched the planet which would soon be crushed by the Empires iron fist.
