Star Wars: A Clone Uprising (S1)
2019 REVISED UPDATE
Disclaimer: If it isn't obvious, I do not own Star Wars.
This journey begins on 14 BBY, five years after the events of "The Great Jedi Purge" and the final end to the Clone Wars. Also at the beginning of the Galactic Empire now ruled by Emperor Palpatine.
Protocol 66 was ordered by Palpatine and carried out swiftly by the clone battalions of the Galactic Republic across the Galaxy. As a result, a near end of the Jedi Order. However, this order was not carried out alone, but through mind-controlling inhibitor chips, which forced the Republic Armies to obey.
Some notable clones, such as Captain Rex of the 501st, Commando Gregor, and Commander Wolffe of the 104th Battalion had theirs removed.
Prepare yourselves, this is going to be a long one.
(Oh, you might realize that this is similar to "Star Wars: Clone Rebellion" by SaintofAllSaints01 which I highly recommend you read.)
Prologue:
"Execute Order 66." Mere words that gave way to the end to those we knew as the Peacekeepers of the Galaxy. It's victims, many members of the Jedi Order, carried out by inhibitor chip controlled armies across the galaxy, the clones, and of course, Darth Vader.
Fortunately, only a few number of Jedi have survived, and are now hidden in deep sectors across the galaxy, away from the Galactic Empire.
After the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar, it's been five years since it had took place. The Empire had taken notice of what appeared to be an uprising on Kamino.
501st Imperial Star Destroyer:
A man resembling an Imperial Officer entered a room that seemed to be the Mess Hall. He was looking for someone, who he had found at one of the tables at the far end of the hall. Particularly the one below a busted ceiling light. And so, he went over to that person's table.
He asked, "Are you enjoying your meal?"
"Whatever they gave me, it tastes like vermin." The figure answered.
"Commander Appo, we've been tasked with taking down an uprising on Kamino, your home planet, if I remember correctly." said the Officer.
"Admiral Yularen, I would prefer if you did not tell me this during my meal, but yes, Kamino is my home planet, and the home of my brothers." Appo replied.
He thought for a few seconds, and came to a realization.
"Wait, Kamino? A rebel uprising? That's impossible! Give me details of who we're fighting against!" Appo asked.
"Well, Commander, it gave me quite the surprise too. But it appears that Imperial Intelligence says Tipoca City is currently in the process of an operation we do not know of, according to it's recent power usage." Yularen answered.
"Weren't the Kaminoans ordered to stop production until further notice?" Appo asked again.
"Yes they were, but it seems that they are indeed building an army, presumably to fight our Empire. A probe droid was sent to Tipoca City and spotted LAAT Gunships transporting supplies across the facilities." Yularen said.
"Not only that, according to Intel, they had also spotted..
.
..
...
Clone Troopers." He added.
After hearing this, Appo realized that he was tasked with fighting those he might consider his brothers. However, he shook off the thought, and stood up. He then walked with Admiral Yularen to the bridge to discuss the briefing.
501st ISD Bridge:
They arrived to a holotable that lit up and showed a hologram of Tipoca City.
Commander Appo, Admiral Yularen, and three others resembling clone sergeants of the 501st began their briefing.
"The 501st has been tasked with capturing Tipoca City, the center of operations for this rebellion. You will begin landing next week at 0200. You must capture the platforms to allow for the takeover of the facilities. However, you will not do this alone. Lord Vader will not be with us for this campaign, so he has hired a mercenary in his place by the name of Boba Fett. You will assist him in carrying out his tasks as his objectives are different from yours." Yularen said.
After the platforms are captured, we will be landing in shuttles as Boba Fett retrieves the clone DNA template, and is extracted to our destroyer. Once we've finished taking Tipoca City, the Kaminoans in question will be punished accordingly.
"I can't believe we're attacking our home planet, but we'll do anything the Empire asks of us." said a clone sergeant.
"Orders are orders, this is convenient considering we'll know where we're going and where to fight." Appo replied.
"Also, we've been given orders that you must relinquish your old armor and wear the new 'stormtrooper' armor that just came in recently, we don't need any friendly fire." The Admiral added.
Appo sighed, looked down at his clone armor, and whispered to himself, "I always enjoyed wearing this armor.."
He then looked up to the Admiral and said, "Very well, we'll begin our attack at 0200 as planned, let's show them who the real clones are."
"Dismissed." said Admiral Yularen.
The briefing was completed.
Tipoca City Command Center:
The Kaminoans were alone, and had no intergalactic faction backing them up. They were not going to allow the Galactic Empire to eventually destroy them once they saw their cloning capabilities as a threat.
Over 87 thousand clones were combat ready as of the formation of the Galactic Empire, which is due to the lack of supplies and supply backers. However, they had hundreds of LAATs and a variety of ground vehicles left over in stock that was meant for use in the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was eradicated after the transition from the Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire.
These clones were tasked with the "liberation" of the galaxy, to free it from the tyranny of the Galactic Empire. Unlike their predecessors, they grew many times faster, and had undergone strict and rigorous training.
A Kaminoan 'Clone Master' named Terra Fal had just arrived in the Prime Minister's Office, giving his latest report.
"Minister Su, it won't be long until the Imperials find out of our plan, we must move to our secret base immediately." said Terra Fal.
"I am aware, but we can wait a little longer, have Commander Onder on standby should the Imperials attack us." Lama Su replied.
Terra Fal sighed, then said, "One of our patrols found an Imperial Probe Droid, east of Tipoca City. We must move quickly if we are to stand a chance against the Empire."
Lama Su stood up calmly, and replied, "Have our Acclamators called up and ready to move. We are moving now. Leave nothing behind, the databanks, DNA Samples, and all other essentials."
"Yes, Minister Su. The troops have been informed and will be ready should we be attacked." Terra Fal replied.
Tipoca City Control Center:
Clone Commander Onder, one of the first bred without an inhibitor chip and born to fight the Empire, was just given orders from the Prime Minister. He had activated the PA system, for all of Tipoca City to hear.
"All battalions, staff, and non-essential personnel, we are beginning Operation 'Lightbulb.' Acclamators will arrive shortly, and all personnel are to evacuate Tipoca City. Combatant Personnel must report to their Unit Commanders. The Imperials have arrived, and plan to wipe us out. Prepare for battle; do not fail us. Onder, out." said Commander Onder.
Onder turned around to face a squad that stood behind him and ordered:
"Troopers! We must hold off the imperial forces in Tipoca City! The enemy may be bred in the same facilities as ours, but our faith in our brothers is much stronger! Do not let them succeed until we've successfully evacuated, is that clear?"
The squad members replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Alarms blared and Tipoca City was being evacuated. Hangar bays opened. Troopers were readying their weapons, and Pilots were heading to their fighters.
The Acclamators had arrived two days prior to the Imperial Attack and moved most supplies to another system. Regardless of what would happen, Tipoca City would end up in Imperial Control.
End of Chapter:
This is one of the first stories I've ever put effort into making, hopefully, it wasn't too bad to read.
I may try to bring in some notable characters along the way. Thanks for reading.
