QnA next chapter, feel free to ask any questions about the story you have, just leave "Question" at the front, I'll answer it the best I can.

A clone walked to the command post of the republic outpost.

"We have picked up 4 large objects approaching the planet sir, 3 averaged 1.5 kilometers long, but one measures roughly 5 kilometers. They all are roughly a kilometer wide. We also lost communications and advanced long range sensors as soon as they entered system. Could be the droids with some new ships, an early invasion fleet maybe." The clone said.

Jedi master Nar Sharock, pondered this. There was a strange news report, an outsider fleet had appeared a few days ago, but he had pushed it away as nothing more than rumors, a fleet that large would not have, no, could not appear without prior knowledge. He did remember that strange event, the sudden headache, along with smaller pings of head pain, but it was found out that the CIS were attempting to bring back an ancient sith weapon, that consumed life, and had destroyed a few forest moons.

His padawan, Sholan Surrick, was however much more persistent, she tried to find everything she could on this mysterious threat. He really needed to teach her that a rumor can be more damaging than good at times, so she was in an meditation chamber, and the doors were locked, stopping her from leaving.

-a few hours later-

"Sir, we have approaching contacts! 2 ships, large ones. Possible providence class, they are nearly over the planet." A clone technician said.

"Prepare the troopers, get all men ready for combat!" Nar Sharock said.

"Yes sir." The clone commander said.

The alarm rose, and clones rushed to their positions.

"Any luck with contact?" The jedi asked.

"No sir, we must be blocked by the droids." The clone said.

"What about radar? Do we have any incoming fighters or droid bombers?" The jedi asked.

"No sir, they haven't sent any vulture droids in." The clone said.

Suddenly a blip showed up, then 3, then 8, the. 15, then 30. Suddenly they stopped, and vanished. The jedi rushed out, looking at the defenses, walls, barricades, guns emplacements, a few mortars. Clones took positions, preparing for an attack.

There were roughly 300 clones, a good solid force to hold off a droid attack. The clones waited, anticipating the marching sounds of droids, or the hum of their tanks. Nothing happened, it was quiet, as if there wasn't anything there. Instead they heard the trees fall, and a grinding, a loud engine moved forward, shaking the trees as it got closer.

"Did the seps buy merc?" A clone asked.

"Maybe they got pirates." Another said.

Suddenly, a blue glow appeared in the distance, what almost looked like a man holding a lantern, before the ball was fired towards the base. The ball slammed into the wall, blasting a hole that was large enough for a person to walk through in the defensive emplacement. Suddenly, more shots, bolts of red light streamed out of the woods, and more blue balls that would tear open the plasteel walls.

"TAKE COVER! Return fire! Return Fire! Blast'em!" clones shouted as the battle began.

Figures in black armor with back pack laser weapons walked out of the woods. They would charge forward with a vehicle with tracks rolling through the woods, the turret firing a stream of laser fire from it. One of these figures would rush forward, fall to a knee, aim a rocket launcher, before the rocket fired, and slammed into the wall, blasting apart a large section. Not a single word was heard, as more rushed out, with more vehicles following the infantry.
