Star Wars: The Drewton Legacy

"Geez... you've got a gazillion facets and a whole bundle of surprises waiting to be developed and revealed. It'll be better than the Star Wars movies in the end."

- Review by 'Dabaq'

The Drewton Legacy is a continuing fan-fiction photonovel series by Drewton. It is the 'prequels' series to Chronicles of a Rebellion, though the events will eventually come later after the events in Rebellion. The first four chapters are currently being redone. There are many main characters, but the most prominent are Burt Drewton and Larry Drewton. Idnum-Ki, Dular, Bodotor Thuvat, Dem Nozah, and Kyle Krenis are also very important.

The first chapter was finished on July 23, 2006 and as of May 15, 2008, the series is seventeen chapters long. The latest chapter, called Revelations, was finished on May 14, 2008.

Castaways on Dantooine
It is 32 BBY. Burt Drewton and Larry Drewton, both brothers, have been castaways on starwars:Dantooine for a few months. A few months ago, their parents (their father was a Senator) had been assassinated when an assassin attacked their ship; Burt and Larry barely escaped via escape pods. Once they had crash-landed on the planet, no one would offer help.



The story begins with the two brothers on Dantooine. They decide to split up, but are captured by an alien of an unknown species. After waking from unconsciousness, Burt and Larry find themselves in a cave. They use various tools to escape, an escape which is successful.

Later that day, at night, a small ship comes down near where they are standing. A starwars:Jedi Master named Idnum-Ki emerges, saying that he had been sent to rescue them. Besides a skirmish with a kath hound, the Drewtons leave Dantooine safely in Idnum-Ki's ship.

When they arrive back to their homeworld, starwars:Naboo, they find that Naboo had temporarily been under the control of the starwars:Trade Federation, but the Federation had been defeated by starwars:Queen Amidala. Idnum-Ki leaves them in Theed, and the two brothers stay on Naboo for years.

Dooku's turn to the dark side
The death of starwars:Qui-Gon Jinn, at the hands of starwars:Darth Maul has made Jedi Master starwars:Dooku ponder the Sith even more, knowing that they have returned. On starwars:Coruscant, Dooku had said much to anyone who would listen, though few heeded his words. But overall, his true confidant is Jedi Master starwars:Sifo-Dyas, who is also was disturbed by what is happening.

Dooku can feel starwars:Darth Sidious', and sense that he is on Coruscant. At night, he locates the Dark Lord of the Sith. But instead of a fight between Sith Lord and Jedi Master, it is a three-hour long discussion. In the end, Dooku agrees with Sidious' views, and becomes his apprentice.



The next day, Sifo-Dyas tells starwars:Chancellor Palpatine that dark times are coming, and, surprisingly, the Chancellor agrees. He tells Sifo-Dyas to secretly contacts the starwars:Kaminoan cloners and request an army for the Republic, which the Jedi agrees to do.

Darth Sidious then tells his new apprentice that his former confidant has contacted the Kaminoans and requested an army, and commands Dooku to kill Sifo-Dyas and erase Kamino from the Jedi Archives so that the Jedi will have no knowledge of the army or Kamino until the time is right.

A few hours leter, Dooku and Sifo-Dyas meet in the location where they usually do, except this time the former wasn't intending to have another discussion. "I sense a disturbance in the Force."

- The last words of Sifo-Dyas.

Terrorists on Mithus
Almost ten years later, a group of Terrorists called the Nockudumey threaten to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine. The Republic attempted to contact the Nockudumey leader, Bodotor Thuvat, but Bodotor makes no response.

Burt and Larry are now Republic Peace Keepers. They go to Coruscant for a briefing on a mission to capture or eliminate the Nockudumey on the snowy planet Mithus. Once on Mithus, Burt tells Larry to stay aboard the Gunship in case they need help Purveyor while he, Kyle Krenis, and other Peace Keepers walk to the Nockudumey base.

However, the Terrorists had set a trap for them, opening fire on the Peace Keepers. Knowing that this will soon be over if the leaders are eliminated, Burt Drewton leaves the main battle to find them. Once he locates Dem Nozah, Thuvat's assistant and commander Konot'tak Malus, and they refuse to surrender, Nozah throws a grenade at him. Burt dodges out of the way, but suddenly above him is Bodotor Thuvat, ready to shoot him.



Before Thuvat can, however, Larry Drewton, piloting the Gunship Purveyor, blasts Konot'tak Malus into oblivion. Angered at losing the commander of the battle, Thuvat and Nozah attack Burt, but Kyle Krenis also joins the battle, fighting Nozah while Burt duels Thuvat.

The Purveyor then fires another blast at the Nockudumey Leaders, but when the smoke clears their bodies are not found, so it is assumed - and correctly - that they are still alive.

Meanwhile, Bodotor contacts Count Dooku, joining the starwars:Separatists.

Coruscant underlevel search


Less than a week after the battle of Mithus, Palpatine claims to have information on the Nockudmey's location in the Tunonel District in the underlevels of Coruscant. The Peace Keepers are sent, along with Idnum-Ki, who had rescued Burt and Larry.

After Idnum uses the Force to trick a guard, they enter the base and split into two groups: the first comprising of Burt, Larry, and Idnum, and the second comprising of Kyle Krenis and two other Peace Keepers.

The former finds a toxin that could destroy an entire city, but before they can report to the Senate, a group of battle droids, given to the Nockudumey by the Separatists, fires upon them.

Meanwhile, a droid reports to Bodotor Thuvat that 'Republic meatbags' had entered the base. When it leaves, Bodotor and Dem Nozah find themselves looking at the blaster rifle rifle of Kyle Krenis. Before Krenis can use it, however, Count Dooku appears behind him and blasts him with Force Lightning.

Bodotor had wants to kill the unconscious Kyle, but Dooku orders not to, saying that the sound of blaster fire would alert the other Peace Keepers to their presence. The Nockudumey then evacuate the base.

Battle of Geonosis
A month later, Jedi Knight starwars:Obi-Wan Kenobi finds Kamino and the starwars:Clone Army which are not intended to be found by the Jedi yet. He follows the bounty hunter starwars:Jango Fett to starwars:Geonosis, but is found by Geonosian security and set for execution along with starwars:Anakin Skywalker and starwars:Padme Amidala in an arena.

Hundreds of Jedi and thousands of clone troopers come to rescue them, resulting in a huge battle. Burt and Larry Drewton and Kyle Krenis also join the battle. Once the Jedi board the Republic gunships, the gunships fly away from the arena, but not from the battle.

The Republic is winning the battle, and the Separatists order a retreat. starwars:Poggle the Lesser, Archduke of Geonosis, sends his warriors into the catacombs to hide, and the Separatists are preparing to evacuate. The Peace Keepers and Idnum-Ki are sent to the catacombs to stop them from escaping.

Republic Commando starwars:RC-1262 (a.k.a. Scorch) is also there. Seeing a Geonosian about to stab him, Burt quickly blasts the warrior, saving Scorch's life. Further into the catacombs, the group finds a starwars:Neimoidian handling a computer console. Idnum-Ki used the Force to persuade him to say where the evacuating Separatists were.

But soon they find a grave sign that the Separatists have already escaped. There is a pile of destroyed super battle droids, but also the dead body of a Jedi. They had failed.

The Republic won the battle, but a war has started.

Droid factories on Getato
The conflict of the Clone Army against the Separatists is no longer exclusive to the planet Geonosis. While the Republic reclaims various Separatist worlds, other worlds agree to join Count Dooku, making the list of Separatist planets no shorter. It is the first time the Jedi Order have taken arms since the Battle of Ruusan a thousand years ago. The Clone Army is constantly being shipped to far-away planets across the galaxy, even to the deserts of Tatooine.



Karan Nyles is a spy in the Supreme Chancellor's office working for Darth Sidious. He told Sidious that the Republic will be sending former Peace Keepers Burt Drewton, Larry Drewton, Kyle Krenis, and likely Idnum-Ki to Getato, where the Separatists have huge droid factories. Nyles asks Sidious if he has interest in the three former Peace Keepers, to which Sidious responds that he does indeed, but that the Drewtons may be a danger to their cause. The Dark Lord also suggested that they will most likely sent another Jedi besides Idnum-Ki - which they do, a Jedi Knight named Dular.

Burt and Larry Drewton and Kyle Krenis have been transferred to the Clone Army, though not actually clones. Their first mission is to destroy the droid factories on Getato, a mission on which they first meet Dular and Commander Tornac. Once the Republic ships get past the blockade of Getato, the group of clone troopers and Jedi land inside the shield generator control room. After the battle droids are dealt with, a starwars:Trandoshan commander still remains, weilding a vibroblade. The two Jedi duel him, and then Burt blasts him in the back, killing him.

There is still one survivor, but not a soldier; a starwars:Duros named Drebu Labro working on a computer console, forecd to work for the Separatists. The Republic troops then have the shield generators shut down, and they escape while Republic Gunships destroy the droid factories.

Defense of Kamino
A few weeks later, the Separatists attack the Cloning Facilities on Kamino. The Jedi pilots battle bravely above the surface of the planet, but they can not prohibit the Droid Forces from landing in Tipoca City, home of the cloning facilities.

The defense of Kamino does not go well for the Republic. Piles of clone bodies lie everywhere. With Burt and Larry Drewton and Kyle Krenis inside it, the Purveyor crashes onto a landing platforn, barely making it.

But the tide turns when the starwars:ARC Troopers, elite clone troopers, are activated. The Republic begins to win the battle.

Eventually, a squad of ARCs with Burt, Larry, and Kyle see a starwars:Mandalorian named Daklif Ordo, fighting a group of Separatist droids alone. The clone troopers finish what remains of the droid group. Ordo, whose face is covered by a helmet, tells them that he is not actually a clone, or even part of the Clone Army, but that he fights for the side of the Republic because a Separatist Commander wants to wipe out all of the remaining Mandalorians.

The ARC Commander tells him that he will let him do as he wants, but sends the Drewtons with him to make sure he is not working for the Separatists. Daklif then enters the apartment room of starwars:Jango Fett and takes an item that says is 'only a diary'.

Obi-Wan then informs the clone troopers that the Republic has won the battle. But Kyle Krenis, suspicious, thinks more of Daklif Ordo than of the battle.
