Mission to Acherin
Two months after the outbreak of the clone wars, 7 Jedi were sent on a reconnaissance mission to the outer rim world of Acherin. Controlled by the separatists, Acherin was key to the Republic's monopolization of the outer rim mining colonies. The planet contained a rare mineral known as Phorsantine, which had a similar effect to steroids on the Clone Army. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was chosen to lead the team of Jedi. Their mission was to search for two missing Jedi, Foul Moudama and the starwars:Nosaurian Jedi Grundig Brenturst. Originally, Mundi was to take 2 Jedi with him: Bant Eerin and Nem Bees, however when the CIS increased their troops on the planet, the Jedi council decided to send additional Jedi. starwars:Roron Corobb, Coleman Kcaj and Sha Koon joined Mundi, Eerin and Bees 6 days after the first group arrived on Acherin. After 3 weeks of constant fighting in the city and swamps, and with no sign of either Moudama or Brenturst, the council decided to call the Jedi back to Coruscant, as they might have had more use elsewhere. However, several hours before they were due to board a ship to Coruscant, the Jedi heard rumours that Count Dooku, along with dark acolyte Sliss, and bounty hunter Durge, would be arriving on Acherin to help the CIS war effort. The Jedi saw their oppurtunity to strikehard at Dooku, so delayed their departure. Two massive battles had started; one in the swamp and one in the city. Ki-Adi-Mundi, alongside Coleman Kcaj and Sha Koon, took to the city streets, ready for battle. The other Jedi went to the swamps. A spy in the Republic camp had told Dooku of the Jedi's plans. Dooku decided it would be best if he went to the city battle, as Ki-Adi-Mundi would be a challenge for his two underlings. Durge and Sliss would engage the Jedi in the swamp. After several hours of battle, the Republic appeared to be winning the city battle, but the Seps were much stronger in the swamps.

Ki-Adi-Mundi smashed two battle droids out of his way, his blue Lightsaber swinging swiftly and strongly. He looked to his side. Kcaj was doing well, his expert tactical advice making sure that the Clones were always a step ahead. Sha Koon was struggling somewhat, surrounded by battle droids, and with only a few Clones left behind her. Ki decided to help the Kel Dor Jedi, as he knew Kcaj was capable of managing on his own. Koon was glad to see Mundi arriving at her side. She had never liked lightsaber combat, preferring the more peaceful aspects of being a Jedi. Still, she did her duty when it was required of her. Ki slashed at a droidekia which had parked itself in front of Sha. She felt much calmer with him at her side. Coleman Kcaj's peculiar eyes could see almost 360 degrees around the Ongree's head. That was something which came in handy on the battlefeild, and it did so again this time, as Kcaj saw an AAT approach him from the right. He decapitated his two nearest foes, then, using a burst of force speed, jumped on top of the huge tank. With one hand gripping his green lightsaber, he used the other to twist the turret of the tank toward the Sep stronghold. Slashing his lightsaber down on the vehicle, eh created a hole large enough for him to fit in. Coleman quickly took care of the two drivers, and hit the fire button on the control panel. The building crumbled as if it was made for children, and after two more shots, it was degraded to rubble. Meanwhile, Ki and Sha were in a spot of bother. Surrounded by all sorts of machines, the two alein Jedi could see Count Dooku approaching, watching his prey very carefully. Suddendly, an AAT burst through some droids, and fired at another group. Sha Koon had never seen a tank malfunction before, but she was glad it had happened. The tank fired at Dooku, but the anceint sith lord quickly moved to the side. "It's Master Kcaj! Inside the tank!" roared Mundi, desperately trying to down out the sound of the LAAT/i gunships firing rockets at the Hailfire droids. Sha jumped into the vehicle, however Mundi did not. The Cerean had other plans. "Go back to commander Drull, Coleman. I'll take Dooku" ordered Mundi. Kcaj attempted to argue, but Mnudi sent him away. Dooku was approaching him fast. The former Jedi ignited his hooked lightsaber, which was red in colour. As Kcaj's AAT hovered away, Dooku used his talents in the force to turn the machine over. With a resounding crash, the vehicle fell against the hard, city ground. No-one emerged from it. "You'll pay for this Dooku!" roared Ki-Adi-Mundi, horrified at the thought of losing two more of his Jedi peers. He leapt at Dooku, lightsaber in hand. The last time Ki saw Dooku he would have had second thoughts about killing him. This time he had none...(to be continued)
