Star Wars: Legacy/Chapter 2: On the Front Lines

The next morning, Jonathan stepped out into the courtyard when he heard Archer and Aero arguing around the barracks block corner. He stood by the wall and listened.


 * " . . . we have to tell him now. He can take it." said Aero.


 * "No, we should wait till he gets a promotion or something so he won't feel as devastated." said Archer.


 * "Tell me what?" asked Jonathan, coming around the corner.


 * "Um, nothing -" began Archer, but Aero cut him off.


 * "Your mother and grandmother, Leeta and Tarna, were at the Imperial camp on Chandrila last night. The cloaking detectors were off so cloaked Resistance bombers easily entered the camp, and bombed it. There were little casualties, but your mother and grandmother were among them." said Aero.

Jonathan was devastated. He lost all of his family members. First, his uncle clone commander Snipe, who was killed by the Malfoy Cartel soldiers before the Vong came and Leeta only told him about. Then, his uncle Fox and his father Typhuss were killed during the Fourth Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. And now, his mother and grandmother, the last of his living relatives, except for his one uncle an Advanced Recon Commando named Ben who was stationed far in the most remote territories of the Outer Rim, were dead.


 * "I will go to Chandrila and help the troops there fight against the Resistance." he said. "This can't go on. They must be crushed."


 * "I can pull a few strings." said Archer, and left.


 * "One of the Empire's top generals is taking a trip there, and I'm coming along. We'll see each other there." said Aero.

Aero departed, and Jonathan left to the armory, where he was met by Draco Malfoy's son, Vic Malfoy. He was in Jonathan's class. The Empire mostly didn't allow other species than Humans to join the military, but they started drafting in other species after the rebellions, and allot of high ranking officers disliked this, so Vic hated him and his family. He graduated a rank higher, and was a TIE Defender pilot lieutenant.


 * "I heard everything. I bet you'll get kill over the loss of her." he said. "I hope you do."

Vic departed and joined his squad mates by some TIE defenders. Jonathan geared up, boarded a Venator-class Star Destroyer, and left to Ryloth.
