It is ten years since the events of
The Phantom Menace, and things have definitely become worse in the galaxy.
After years of decay and corruption, the Galactic Republic is beginning to
fragment as displeased constituents are flocking to a growing Separatist
movement led by the mysterious Count Dooku.
It is all the beleaguered Jedi Knights can do to maintain peace and order in
the galaxy. For the first time in centuries, Senators are seriously considering
raising an Army of the Republic to guard against the increasing threats of the
Separatists.
Some believe such an action will only invite war.

THE CHARACTERS
|
|
Anakin Skywalker
Just turned 20 years old, Anakin Skywalker is the headstrong Jedi apprentice of
Obi-Wan Kenobi. So powerful is he in the ways of the Force, that some say he is
the Chosen One of an ancient Jedi prophecy. He was taken into the Jedi order at
the age of nine, far older than most candidates. As such, Anakin is not as
disciplined as he should be. His exceptional abilities have led to an arrogance
and self-assuredness that may prove dangerous. Anakin is an excellent swordsman
and pilot, and has a strong compassionate nature. In the years to come, Anakin
will succumb to the irresistible call of the dark side, and turn into the Sith
Lord tyrant, Darth Vader.

Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan is a very skilled Jedi Knight and serves as a mentor to young Anakin.
Ten years ago, Obi-Wan made a promise to his dying master that he would take
Anakin as his apprentice. Though the two formed a strong bond of friendship in
the past decade, Obi-Wan is often frustrated by Anakin's recklessness. Obi-Wan
is tasked to discover the identity of a would-be assassin, and his mission
takes him to a distant world where he learns of a mysterious clone army
apparently commissioned for the Republic a decade ago.

Padm Amidala
No longer the Queen of Naboo, Padm Amidala now serves her people by
representing the planet in the Galactic Senate. She is an outspoken 24-year old
politician with the best interests of the Republic in her heart. Ever the
diplomat and peacekeeper, she has spent years helping resolve tense and
difficult situations. She has devoted herself fully to career, at the expense
of her personal needs. In the years to come, Amidala will give birth to the
twins Luke and Leia, the heroes of the original Star Wars trilogy.
|
|
Yoda
One of the senior members of the Jedi Council, Yoda is a wise Jedi Master over
800 years old. The Supreme Chancellor of the Republic greatly values Yoda's
guidance, but the Jedi Master's keen perception has become increasingly dulled
by the growing presence of the dark side. Yoda suspects that greater forces are
at work, conspiring behind the scenes to unknown ends.
|
|
Jango Fett
A notorious bounty hunter encased in fearsome armor and armed with deadly
weapons, Jango Fett is a mercenary for hire. Little interests him other than
money and the safekeeping of his beloved son, Boba. Jango has become the
template of a mysterious clone army being developed on the storm-shrouded world
of Kamino.
|
|
Count Dooku
Count Dooku was once a revered Jedi Master whose personal beliefs often clashed
with that of the Jedi Council. He believed that the Jedi should not serve so
corrupt an institute as the Republic, and 10 years ago, he turned his back on
the order, becoming one of the few Jedi to voluntarily renounce his commission.
Dooku resurfaced years later as the head of the Separatist movement. His
powerful presence and charismatic demeanor have swayed thousands of systems to
abandon the Republic in favour of reform.
