A galaxy divided! Striking swiftly after the battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku's droid army has seized control of the major hyperspace lanes, separating the Republic from the majority of it's clone army. With few clones available the Jedi generals cannot gain a foothold in the Outer Rim as more and more planets choose to join Dooku's Separatists. While the Jedi are occupied fighting a war, no one is left to keep the peace. Chaos and crime spread and the innocent become victims in a lawless galaxy. Crime lord Jabba the Hutt's son has been kidnapped by a rival band of pirates.

Desperate to save his son Jabba puts out a call for help. A call the Jedi are cautious to answer.

Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Plo-Koon and Luminara Unduli were standing in the chancellor's office staring at a projection of the Hutt and his translation droid. "Jabba requests that anyone who can help us find his kidnapped son send any information they have immediately"

The chancellor was first to speak "We must help Jabba, this is the chance we've been waiting for. The jedi must rescue Jabba's son" he stated as the hologram disappeared

Windu hummed slightly "I don't like it, dealing with that criminal scum. This is a dark day for the Republic"

They all began walking down some steps across the office "I agree my friend, but what choice do we have? The Hutts control the Outer Rim and we'll need their space lanes in order to move our troops."

Windu spoke up again "there is.. More to this kidnapping than it seems"

"Then you must send as many jedi as you can" Palpatine stated as they got closer to the entrance

"Impossible chancellor, the droid general Grievous has our troops spread thin. The only jedi we can spare who are skilled enough would be. Skywalker, Kenobi and my former padawan Marek. And they just captured the planet Christophsis"

"Then contact them immediately"

The scene would cut over to a medical supply station and a group of venator class star destroyers near it. Walking through the bridge was Admiral Wulff Yularen towards a holographic table. Where holograms of Windu and Yoda stood "We need to make contact with General Kenobi" Windu informed

"We've been unable to reach him. It could be a solar storm, or they're rebooting their communication system. I'm sure the blackout is temporary"

"A messenger, we are sending, with important orders for General Kenobi" Yoda chimed in

"See to it that she gets there was fast as possible" Windu stated to which the Admiral nodded

"Yes sir. As soon as we load relief supplies."

"No time, there is. Immediately, the messenger must go" Yoda replied which had Admiral again nodding at the words of the wise grandmaster

"I understand, sir. I will personally take an unloaded ship to drop her off, then return to pick up my reinforcements"

The scene again changed to now a blue and white atsromech unit scurrying away as there was a battle starting back up. Clones were firing they're blasters and explosions were erupting all around the Republic forces as jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker ran ahead with Clone Commander Cody spotting the Separatist forces moving back towards them "Go, go, go, go, go!" a clone yelled to everyone in the area

"They're back!" the jedi Knight called out to his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi who was running over

"I told you this victory was too easy" he stated "we should never have sent the ship back for supplies"

"Well it wasn't MY idea to send the ship back. Galen get over here!" Anakin called over as Galen sprinted over in his new robes "Status on the injured?" Anakin asked with a raised eyebrow
