23 The Calm on Coruscan

Though things were going well with the Mandalorians on Earth. In the heart of the republic things had not been so happy. Many republic world where beginning to get feed up with the obvious corruption that was running rampant in the Senate.

Many systems had began plans to leave the republic in order to better establish themselves. The current Chancellor Valorum was always tied up in matters with key systems and couldn't keep up with the problems of the smaller worlds,and the protectors of the republic the jedi where facing their own problems.

Count Dooku had recently left the order and returned to his home planet. He had become upset with the Jedi lack of interference with the corrupt politics that had been happening in the republic. It did not help that when he mentioned what had happened to the true Mandalorians the council had decided not to interfere. That had been the straw that caused the count to leave.

It was then a few months after his departure that the jedi council felt the shock of the released force energy from the Star Forge. Every jedi on the planet felt the wave forcing the council to call for an emergency meeting. I the heart of the jedi temple 12 master gathered to discuss the recent developments in the force.

Jedi Masters Yoda, Windu, Plo Koon, Ki-Dai-Mundi,Tiin, Adi Gallia, Yareal Poof, Eeth Koth, Billaba, Shaak Ti, Trebor, and Kit Fisto all gather in the council chambers with solemn looks spread across their faces. Master Mundia spoke first," I feel what has happened early today was the force warning us of a change. I feel that we must locate the source of this change as soon as possible."

Many of the members nodded in agreement following with Master Yoda voicing his opinion, " Trace back we must to the source, But who to send in these troubled times we must decide." Yode was right they might not be able to send any master to find the source force energy. Not with all the problems the republic was facing right now.

Master Windu took this moment to speak," This could all be some sort of trap to spilt our focus from our current task. The republic is in dire straights with systems threatening to leave we need most of the Masters here to try to talk them out of leaving. I do not think it would be wise for us to send someone off to investigate this anomaly at this point. Instead we should tighten our guard here in the core worlds."

"Foucs on one task we can, Ignore a threat we can not. A danger must be known else strike the back it can. Ignorant the council can not be on this, some send we must." As Yoda was currently the most senior member of the council currently. His word was law. For the next hour the council discussed the details of how they would go about this investigation.

While the jedi were busy were busy with there problems another order of force users on Coruscant were also so dealing with the spike in the force. Deep in the under city of Coruscant. Darth Sidious and his apprentice Darth Maul quietly discussed the recent change in the force, and what it could mean for the plan.

"Master what does this mean..has another power risen in the galaxy that can threaten the republic?" Darth Sidious was quite though he had a plan set in place he was not above change it and taking advantage of a new force especially if it could threaten the republic. He would not have to wast so much time manipulating the senators of the different systems to try and get them to rebel, and if the force was strong enough maybe he just out right conquer the republic instead of forcing a proxy war with two sides that he controls.

"I am not sure what this means as of yet my apprentice, however for now we will stick to the plan. I will meet with the trade federation to see if I can convince them to move the time table for blockading and the invasion of Naboo sooner."

"It will be as you command my master I shall return to Geonosis to insure that all battle droids factories are completely on the planet." Taking a bow Maul turned and exited the room leaving Sidious alone with his thoughts. Hopefully this new factor could be used to his advantage in some shape or form. If it couldn't be then it could always be removed by force.

Back on Earth Jack and his crew finish flight check before leaving Earths solor system. It would be a week long trip there and they would have about a week to gather as much information as they could before returning. Jack had a feeling that the time line for the story might have increased a bit do to his forces now becoming a major factor. He still hadn't decided which side to help especially considering that if he let Sidious start the war then he would be controlling both sides.

It might be best to force him to one side and fight him like that, but the trouble was which side would he force him to. If Jack could get the Jedi to she Palpatine and Darth Sidious then it would be easy to force him to the separates however if the jedi would not listen to reason then he would cut Sidious off from the Separates completely and take over the faction him self.

During daydream planning Trish had finished all system checks and had initiated lightspeed jump. As the ship shifted into hyperspace Jack could help but feel the excitement growing inside of him. This would be the quiet debut of his faction to the rest of the galaxy though if everyone did their jobs then only a few people would be awear of their presence. Still the few people who would know would either feel fear or respect for his faction, and you can never really go wrong with that type of mentality attached to your name sake.

The only thing that had been bothering Jack was the fact his whole team had hear the exchange between his mother him and Sharia, and they had not stopped hounding him about. Though Sharia had been proving her self as a great subordinate. He didnt really see him self with her. If anything their had been a few characters in this time period that he had been looking forward to meeting. One of which had been a beautiful alien Togruta jedi master.

Hell of he couldn't convince the jedi he could always try and get a few of them to follow him and leave the order. From what he read about Shaak Ti she had been a broad minded Jedi Master. Jack felt like if he could convince any of what was going on it would be her or Yoda, but as far as the rest of the council he could not be too sure.

Especially of Master Mace Windu, the man would most definitely see him as a threat the moment he entered the temple. Still it Jack knew he had to try if not he might as well figure out a way to take the jedi off the board. That way even if he failed to stop Sidious the jedi would survive.
