Wade and the remaining team member,Shnit crouched next to Tobruck's body.They were all that was left of the originall five-man team.Unfortunately they were up against a much larger force.Shnit glanced nervously at the lightsaber in Wade's hand.

"Is that thing real"?

"Very real"

"Are you a........a....-"

"Jedi"?

"Yes..are you a Jedi Master"?

Wade almost laughed,but instead kept his face absolutely emotionless.

"No.I am a Jedi Knight"

"Why are you here"?

"I was assigned to this team by Captain Idinian and Regent Logan to keep an eye on Tobruck"

"But why"?

"Regent Logan and Captain Idinian have their reasons"

"Oh...............why did you cut his hand off"?

"Because he was about to murder all those innocent crew members"

"Innocent!.The killed Dakin and Hurce..and Tobruck"!

"I know.But they are only defending themselves and their ship from who they perceve as invaders.Now we are going to be killed by them if we don't do somthing now."

"But"-

"But nothing.I am a Captain in the New Alliance Ground Armed Forces and you,Ensign Shnit will follow orders"

"Yes sir"

"Now give me cover fire and I will flank them.Once I flank them I will give you a signal to open up full time on the barricaded crew"

"I understand sir..but I can't see you from here if you flank them...how will I know you are signaling"?


"You'll know.Trust me"

Wade waited for a moment untill Shnit popped up and started firing at the crew behind the barricades.As soon as the first shot left Shnit's blaster Wade broke into a full run,going at top speed.Shnit's fire did some good and the crew droped down to the protection of the barricades.Wade dove to the cover of empty fuel barrels.He peeked over the top of his barrel and was glad the crew members did not see him flank them.They were now returning fire at Shnit,who ducked behind his plasteel barrel.Wade concentrated and connected to the Force,he let it's pulsing power flow through him as he projected an image into Shnit's mind of Wade signaling.Wade opened his eyes and saw that Shnit was relentlessly firing at the crewmen.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> I am a Jedi<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->..........<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> I am a Jedi<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->....<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> a Jedi knows no pain.....there is no emotion; there is peace....there is no ignorance; there is knowledge......there is no passion; there is serenity....there is no death; there is the Force.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> Master Solo's voice,reciting the Jedi Code went over and over in Wade's mind.He was lying on his back,that much he was sure.He tried to remember what had happened.He remembered that he had been ordered to board the ghost ship with Commander Tobruck and a small team to find out why the ghost ship kept appearing and dissapearing in the Clak'Dor VII system.Regent Logan and Captain Idinian had ordered him to make sure Tobruck does not do somthing he may regret.Wade had led Tobruck up to a cargo bay that,from there,lead to the bridge.Once they had arrived in the cargo bay the crew of the ghost ship had fired at them,intending to kill them.Most of the boarding team had been killed,exept for Shnit and Wade.Wade had flanked the crew and was firing at them untill.....a blaster bolt had come out of nowhere and had hit him.He had blacked out and fallen to the ground.For all he knew he was still laying on the bay floor.He also wondered what happened to Shnit.


His eyes opened a few hours after that and had found himself inside a cell of some sort.It must have been an old cell because there were durasteel bars blocking the way out of the cell.This was the first time in his life that Wade had been imprisioned and he really didn't like it.He managed to sit up and look around his new residence.The room was about six feet long and 6 feet wide,with sterile white walls.There was a man,most likely a crewman,stood guard over the Jedi Knight.The cell had few comforts,a hard bench,a small water system.Wade stood up and tested his body for injuries.He felt a sharp pain in his ribs,probably where he was shot by the blaster bolt.He looked out side his cell and saw one of the crewmen,he was wearing a full armor suit and a helmit.And Wade was unable to see what species he was from.His helmit had a triangular opening that glowed orange.The guard looked at him and glowered,as if the mere sight of Wade disgusted him.He walked toward Wade and started talking in a mechanical voice.

"You killed many of our brothers"

"I was only defending myself"

"But you boarded our ship and attacked us"

"No your wrong.You attacked me and my team"

"But you boarded our ship first.We were only defending our own ship"

"True.But we were here peacefuly,we did not want to harm anyone"

"You carried weapons"

"It is standard procedure for us to carry weapons.We were only following rules"

The guard grunted and went back to his post,not moving.Wade decided that he needed to get out of there and soon.



It had been hours since Wade had spoken to the guard.Just after he had spoken to the guard,big burly crewmen had come in and and hauled him to some sort of interogation room,where he was questioned.The person questioning him also wore a armor suit and a helmit.Wade wondered what species they were from.Once back in his cell he was left alone for hours and hours.Captain Idinian would soon be sending a search team since Wade,or Tobruck had not reported back for almost twelve hours.Wade spent most of those hours concentrating on the Force and trying to find a way out of his cell.He knew that just beyond the metal bars was a control panel to the right of his cell door.But it required a latch be thrown up an a button that needed to be pushed in order to open the bars.Wade spent much of his time trying to flip the latch and push the button.The guard,who was not aware of Wade's powers,suspected nothing from who he percived as a 'small coward'.And Wade also spen alot of his time trying to find his lightsaber which had been taken from him.Soon the guard got careless,falling into some sort of stasis in his chair.It didn't look like he was sleeping though so Wade crept very carefully to the door of his cell.He closed his eyes and let the Force flow through him.He studied the walls,the cell, and the ship thorugh the Force.He found the latch and the buton.With a quick Force-push the latch was up and the button had been pushed.He smiled faintly as he walked out of his cell.


Wade went up silently behind the guard as he 'slept'.Wade placed his hands around what he percieved as the alien's neck and twisted hard.The neck did not break,but Wade had not intended to kill the man.It was an old Teras Kasi move that Wade had picked up from a trader in the outer rim.The guard slumped in his chair,knocked out.Wade pulled off the mans helmit and gasped as he saw who he was.He walked out the door in a shock.He walked out of the door and into the hallway.He saw no one.Apparently they had great faith in the one guard.


Several minutes later he had made it to the airlock where they had docked the shutttle.Surprisingly he heard a noice inside the shuttle and he readied himself for combat.He jumped through the airlock door and into the small shuttle.Shnit stood there,fiddling with the controls.

"Shnit"!

The man spun around and nearly fainted.

"Commander Vox.Boy am I glad to see you"

"How did you-"?

"I escaped.Those guards like to fall asleep"

"Impressive"

"Thank you....oh and sir!...I found this for you"

In Shnit's hand was Wade's lightsaber.Wade stared at it and then took it.

"Thank you,Private Shnit.Now let's get out of here"

Moments later the small shuttle took off and was soon inside the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Peacemaker<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.Captain Idinian debreifed them and asked Wade who they crew was.Wade wiated untill Shnit left untill answering the Captain.

"They were Falleen"

"Falleen"?!

"Yes sir.You might want to check the Falleen records and see if there were any stolen ships"

"I will.We will get to the bottom of this one way or another"

"Yes sir"
