Chapter One: Attack on Hope
The Senate Rotunda on Coruscant had been quiet for years now. Not a soul really entered it aside from the occasional tour, but this day was a special day. The
rebellion had orchestrated a meeting to attempt and unify the galaxy against the Empire. Many planets had opted to attent mostly out of curiosity and without
much intent to join. They viewed the rebellion with a mixture of respect or disinterest. Believers did exist though in the ranks of meeting planets, most of
these were those on the edge of Imperial space and could feel the threat of the Empire rising on their doorsteps. Regardless of reason, many were there. Even
the Jedi had decided to send a few representatives to the meeting from their temple on Coruscant. This event to the Empire made for the perfect time to attack.
Imperial Star Destroyers descended all across the atmosphere, spewing from it TIE fighters of all makes and transports. Fights rose from the cities to stop
them, this was the police forces pathetic attempt to stop the Empire from landing in force. Little could be done against the hordes of fighters. Transports
landed all along the planet but two locations had the largest concentration and where the only places that the 501st were at. One was the Senate Rotunda, where
so many enemies now sat, and the other was the Jedi temple. Two of the Empire's greatest enemies would surely be crushed this day. As if to make it all the
more beautiful, Coruscant would be in there hands as well.
His ship landed on the platform just outside the base of the Rotunda. Stormtroopers piled out all around him as he strode out. "Round up those who you
can, kill any politician who tries to run but try to apprehend the rebels. Intelligence is key here. The glory of the Empire henges on this day."

Phylis Alince had come to Coruscant to watch over the meeting. Perhaps, with the rising power of the Sith and Empire, the scattered systems of the galaxy would
finally unite! That had been her hope, but it seemed the old feelings about the Republic Senate had not vanished. For three days they had talked, congressed,
discussed and complained to no effect. It was while Phylis went on a tour of the old Jedi Temple that she sensed a disturbance in the Force. Sure enough,
Imperials were landing!
As one of the Masters on Coruscant, she reached for her comm. "All Jedi forces, the Imperials have landed, concentrate and work with any Rebels to try and defend the Senators!" |

Zir'ka looked skyward, the sky above her suddenly more alive than it had been a moment ago, if that was even possible. Fighting was going on above her,
high above her, but it was affecting the traffic passing over and around where she stood. What was going on? Leaning her head back farther, she tapped Sixx on
his domed head. The little droid made a few soft beeps, before going silent for a half second. He was gathering information with his sensors and it didn't
take long before he was rattling off to her what was going on, according to his sensors.
Moving a short distance away from the fiery red head, Sixx plugged into a nearby terminal, hacking the system. Upon hacking the system he gained a lot more information on what was going on and made a soft sound of awe. Sixx rarely made such a noise and Zir'ka turned her attention to the little droid, watching him closely. Turning his head, he 'looked' at her in return, before softly explaining what was going on. The Empire was attacking! Nodding she started moving down the street. They needed to get off the planet and fast. Things were going to get ugly and she didn't want to get caught in the crossfire. |

His black hair fell at down his back, not that long, just past his shoulders. He wore a well pressed black suit, he stood straight. Grabbing his comm out of
his jacket, he replied. "Already out in front, Master. Send what help you can!"
His right hand extended and the yellow lightsaber flew towards it. "Let's dance." |

On the first transport with Cornelo was a detachment of rapid infiltration forces. Solon was a member of the Intel bureau, and had spent several days
undercover planning this operation. With the formidable royal guard beside him, he pointed.
"Sir, there are five ground exits to the Rotunda. If you wish, I will go with a detachment to stop the rebels escaping!" he offered |

There was a gathered meeting of planets upon Coruscant. Sith Mistress, Rach Sullen was there, obviously since she governed Ruusan. Also to be curious on what
the Rebellion had to say, not that she cared much anyway but it was always good to be in the know on these sorts of things. Then she could sense some trickery
here, low and behold it was the Empire and they were ready to capture and torture or kill some politicians. Well, of course she wouldn't be one of them,
they wouldn't dare. Or would they? As she walked out her saber in hand ready to fight if need be.

Phylis frowned. That was just like her Padawan - always leading the charge. "Be careful, Padawan. I sense that the Imperials have Sith allies. I will join
you as soon as I can," Phylis promised. With that, and noting the Temple was not yet a target, she headed to a speeder bike, intending to go to the Senate
Building.

Storm troopers began to flood the surface levels of Coruscant, targetting various houses of top ranking dignitaries and striking deep at police force stations.
Cornelo walked forward with storm troopers moving forward around him with his vibro-swordstaff in hand. Guards at the Rotunda were moving fast, faster than
he would have thought. Already they were doing their best to build up barricades at its four major entrances. They were solid constructs and it almost led
Cornelo to believe that they had been built before hand in case of an attack.
Blaster fire shot from the barricades, and the select few that were shot at him were met with his staff. "I want these defenses crushed! Now!" |

Zirka....the woman he had met not too long ago. She passed through his head. He knew she was here, and he knew she was close....rather thirty stories below
him. Timing himself, he ran forward and leapt off a walkway and onto the top of a tie-fighter. Pulling his sword, he sent a dozen shots into the right and left
wings, laughing meniacally as it plumetted.
There, below him was Zirka. Putting his sword back on his back, he jumped off, made a roll in the air and landed in a squat. Getting up he looked at her. "Let's get out of here." |

The disturbance of the Force, related to others as 'the hair on the back of your neck standing straight up, as a feeling of dread flares for a moment.'
Hurr got that same feeling just as Phylis relayed the message "All Jedi forces, the Imperials have landed, concentrate and work with any Rebels to try and defend the Senators!" With that, Hurr took hold of a borrowed lightsaber, and went to patrol the outer halls of the Senate Rotuna. If the imperials want into the Senate, they would have to go thru him first....

Selena rolled from her bed quite groggily at the call to arms. As she listened to it, nothing quite sank in at first. Something about... attacks and all
sorts of other stuff. Words really which for the moment meant little, unless. Then she shot up straight and took to her drawers and dawned her white robes
faster than she could think she had ever done before. A moment later she had her lightsaber clipped onto her belt and she was running down the hallway.

Phylis arrived just outside the Senate building to see those on top be fired upon by Imperial forces below. Spying an unguarded entrance she slipped in,
heading towards where she sensed a group of Force users. Unfortunately, there were also stormtroopers, and veteran ones at that!
As they opened fire, Phylis used her lightsabre to deflect shots as well as she could, but she could use some help in evening the odds.... |

Zir'ka skidded to a halt, staring at Zack with wide eyes. Where had he come from? He always seemed to be falling from some place. Laughing she nodded and
grabbed his hand as she started to run once more. Sixx was ahead of them, some place, but she wasn't worried. The little droid was more than capable of
taking care of himself. However, their escape was short lived and Zir'ka was suddenly forced to wonder if they were going to make it out of this so easily.
Several shots from a nearby TIE fighter whizzed by them, nearly hitting the pair. Zir'ka stopped again and looked around her, they needed shelter. If they stayed out in the open like this they were going to get hit in some crossfire or they were going to be shot outright. |

Quickly she ran through and saw the Jedi. Seems they were fending off attacks from the stormtroopers at the moment. She could slip by unnoticed but then risk
getting hit by stray fire. Her pink blade shot to life as she walked by, the lazers reflecting back to those who'd originally shot it. She gave a nod to
the Jedi as she tried to find away to get off this damned planet. Or she was going to have to end up fighting, who now was the question.

"Ah geez. I just get patched up from one attack, and here's another!" Tegaea complained. She'd just happened to be on the Rotunda's roof
when the Imperials landed. Now, grabbing a blaster from a fallen soldier, she opened fire from cover. There was that damned royal guard again. She took aim and
fired, but he moved too quickly to mark. So, she contented herself by shooting a stormtrooper instead!

For a few moments the fighting at Cornelo's entrance lulled. It was in this moment that Cornelo gave the silent order that they were simply going to charge. When they had numbers on their side it was just simply more time efficient to do so. Slightly wasteful but sometimes it had to happen. In unison a white mass surged forward with a lone red figure at the center. In a matter of seconds they were upon the wall. White soldiers fell next to him, but as he lept over the barricade he took of the head of a guard, then stabbed another as they landed. In moments his troopers had taken down everyone at the outside of his entrance. Now all that was left was the door. |

Phylis frowned at the Sith Mistress who was wandering around and totally disinterested in her! "Master Sullen, yes?" Phylis asked cautiously. There
were no enemies in view at the moment, so the Jedi edged around to leave an exit clear. She didn't want to fight the Sith...not with so much else
happening!

Reaching the barricades, and by proxy, the battle, Hurr ignited his green lightsaber, and threw it at the stormtroopers trying to invade, using the force to
spin it like a boomerang, dicing troopers' weapons by the squad and coming close to Cornelo's weapon as well.
Returning the blade to his hand, Hurr reached out with his other hand and began launching blasters into orbit, in batches of dozens. Round by round, weapons were disappearing fast.... |

Selena was running down some stairs when she was reaching "ground level" she saw a body fly in front of her. It was a jedi knight, slain and laying
on the ground. The Empire was already inside the temple. Looking deep within the force she lept across the hall and slapped random blaster fire at that
stormtroopers. A few fell during the bold leap of faith, still she had little idea of what to do after this. Summoning the fallen Jedi's blade to her hand
she contemplated her action.
Granade. It rolled in front of her. With one quick motion she pushed the granade back at them. Stormtroopers just never seemed to learned. After the explosion she rounded the corner and went at the mass of dazed stormtroopers. |

Malachi wore the armor that had once belonged to his father. He had obtained it after raiding his old house, the house that now belonged solely to his mother.
The only new thing about the armor.... it was scorched black.
On his belt was a red lightsaber he had obtained from Arumi, and on his back were his two swords. "Time for fun." he said to himself as he moved in on the senate rotunda |

"Um, no... yes." As she answered the Jedi Master's question. Sadly she was easily recoginzable to those she'd never met. This was most
definitely the case. Rach really didn't want to fight her either, but if she engaged in battle, what the hell, why not. She figured that it wouldn't
take too long of a time and maybe the stormtroopers would leave them alone.
