And The Stars Are Stuck

Summary:

Wherein the Forces of Light have to contend with training the army of snarky children that got dropped in their lap, largely but not exclusively from the planets of the Alternian Protectorate. And also there's a war.
Great.

IT GREW A PLOT, HANDS UP WHO'S SURPRISED

Chapter 1: Opening Crawl

Notes:

An opening crawl probably makes this story look too serious honestly, but I'm having fun with it.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

A GALAXY AT WAR.

 

The REPUBLIC faces an existential threat in attacks from the SEPARATIST ALLIANCE.

 

Led by their Chancellor, SHEEV PALPATINE, the Republic resists the encroachment of the SEPARATIST BATTLEDROIDS.

Their CLONE ARMY and JEDI GENERALS protect the people of the Republic from the machinations of COUNT DOOKU and his cyborg terror GENERAL GRIEVOUS.

 

Rewind nearly a decade. A mission to the ALTERNIAN PROTECTORATE, a set of planetary systems which was and remains nearly at the fringes of Republic control, yields a dozen young FORCE USERS of incredible power. They are brought to the Temple as younglings to be trained.

 

Now, three years into a war which shows no signs of stopping, the front lines have been stagnant. The Galaxy continues to turn, and the JEDI ORDER still has to train its padawans to Knighthood.

 

This new era will be marked by the YOUNG PADAWANS that will be forged in war.

But in the shadows, the Darkness gathers. And it is growing...

Notes:

Worth noting for Star Wars fans: the timeline of the war is stretched, slightly, so while we're three years into the war, we aren't in 19BBY and dealing with the Temple Bombing, the Shadow Collective, or the biochip stuff yet. We're actually pre-20BBY in terms of most events. The Sith are dragging the war out a little bit more, in part because the number of Force sensitives born and collected by the Jedi seems to have increased in time for the war, so they want more time to thin the heard (and more time to turn the Galaxy against the Jedi). The Sith are also a little less impatient than before. Wonder what that's about.
