- Order 66 -

            //LOG-CT567// 
My battalion was stationed as protectors of the people on Ryloth when we got our new orders. I hesitated at first to accept these orders, as they weren’t from our commanding officer or Jedi. I’d be able to tell if it was our Jedi, a young Palawan he somehow found his way to commanding a battalion. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was told his father was involved. Kiran Vanku, a representative on the senate for Ryloth. He was a human, and thus shouldn’t have authority of a Twi-lek planet. But his son, Kass Vanku was in the Jedi order and on Ryloth anyways. He hadn’t treated the Twi-leks with the respect they deserved. Often treating them as lesser peoples, sometimes threatening with his lightsaber. He talked in ways that were similar to how he talked to his own ranks. He was an obvious child of Coruscant leisure. Usually coruscant’s meddling politics had no effect on the Jedi ranks. But this must’ve been an exception. 

So once we arrived on Coruscant after obeying orders from Palpatine himself. We were assigned with low level inspection. We were to wipe the 357th floor from the “surface” of the city. Other battalions and jedi led squads, were sent down to lower and higher floors at the same time. The noisier jedi were sent lower it appeared. As we made our way down a central street, a group of seemingly intoxicated Twi-leks walked in front of us. One stumbled and got in Kass’s way, Kass tossed the Twi-lek to the ground, I reach to stop him as the other 3 Twi-lek fell back towards their fallen friend. Kass makes the unneeded decision to light his saber. The street was illuminated in blue, frightened the 4 Twi-leks ran off into the dim lights of the Underworld. Kass deactivates his saber as both the blue light and the Twi-leks fade into darkness.

After searching for what seemed like hours, a twitch from my comm rang out, I looked around to make sure I was in a secure location, I had my two closest men at my side and Kass was ahead checking the end of the alley we were in. After all, it was Palpatine who glowed blue on the other side of my visor. “Execute Order 6-“ I shut the comms channel immediately. 

My sidearm is pulled from the holster on my chest and I fire a blue bolt of light towards Kass. My visor blocks the hatred of my eyes, the calm and readiness I feel that will carry this bolt into his head. The bolt flies into his raised lightsaber hilt, sending it flying to the ground nearby. My hatred fading, and my calmness increasing, I slip my pistol into my holster. Then beckon towards the jedi , no longer beckoning to him as my jedi but as my traitor...my target. Flashes of blue fly from my side as CT-6435 and CT-7492 blast 2 bolts toward Kass. He falls, unable to comprehend what has happened. 

My mind searches for the memories on Ryloth and the recent event here, on level 357. Two more bolts of blue light fly...and kill the 357th jedi left on coruscant.
