Fanfic
This is where I will be writing a fanfic of my own, based off original ideas for Star Wars novels featuring Jack Nebulax and other chracters.

Assault on Neimoidia
Set approximately three months before the Second Battle of Coruscant.

Summary
As the Clone Wars rage on throughout the Galaxy, all eyes focus on Neimoidia, the lush homeworld to the Confederacy of Independent Systems's most well-known species. With inevitability working against the planet, a team of shadow troopers, led by a Jedi Knight native to Neimoidia, is dispatched to make way for an upcoming battle.

The task ahead of them is dangerous, and around every corner will be enemies ready for battle. But the shadow troopers, like their Neimoidian Jedi commander, show no fear. Their duty is to follow orders and serve the Republic they were born to serve.

And when the Grand Army of the Republic arrives for the main battle, two Republic commanders&mdash;Jedi General Darius Chranell and Captain Jack Nebulax of the Republic Navy&mdash;will be put at odds. But even so, their differences will have to be cast aside in order to ensure a Republic victory...

Chapter One
Standing on the bridge of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Quasar Flame, flagship of the Republic Seventh Fleet, CRC-32/9735, also known as Shadow-7 or Zak, stared out of the massive viewport in front of him. Outside that viewport and to his right floated another Star Destroyer of Quasar Flame's class and two Acclamator II-class assault ships. To his left were two Consular-class cruisers modified for war.

The doors behind Zak opened, revealing Jedi Master Darius Chranell, his apprentice Gyda Kartin, and a Neimoidian Jedi Knight named Kane Findos, a visiting general from the Third Fleet. The Neimoidian Jedi had recently arrived to supervise the upcoming attack on his home planet, Neimoidia, after Chranell received the orders to attack.

Although Neimoidians were normally greedy and fearful, this was not Findos's case. The cousin of Neimoidian Defense Forces Viceroy Sentepeth Findos, Kane had been discovered early on as being Force-sensitive. He was quickly abducted from the grub hatchery he was in and taken to the Jedi Temple. So, Kane had avoided the fate of his brothers and sisters.

But know he was viewed upon by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic as a threat. To the CIS, he was a Jedi capable of infiltrating its Neimoidian ranks, and to the Republic, he was a member of a Separatist-loyal species. This was what made Chranell suddenly ask, "Why did you even choose sides in this war?"

Kane simply replied, "Darius, I'm a Jedi above a Neimoidian. My allegiance is to the Republic; to democracy. To the Force. No matter who hates me, I'll do my duty."

"I admire your courage, Kane." Chranell replied.

A man wearing a Republic Navy uniform with a rank badge meaning captain walked up to Chranell and Findos. "Sir, we've received new orders regarding the upcoming attack on Neimoidia."

"Yes, Captain Nebulax?" Chranell asked.

"The Jedi High Council suggests that we send out Commander Zak's squad of shadow troopers to do some reconnaissance before the invasion," Jack Nebulax replied. At the mention of his name, Zak began to walk toward the four people.

Noticing Zak at his side, Chranell asked, "Zak, how long do you think it will take to get your squad prepared?"

"Not long, sir," Zak replied. "However, we will need a transport."

"Take my Sheathipede-class shuttle," Kane said. "It's automated. In fact, you could use a Neimoidian to help you find your way around the planet. I'll come along."

Zak looked at Chranell. "What do you think, General?"

Chranell took a moment to consider the plan. "I think it sounds good. Zak, go and get your squad prepared. I'll go add objectives into the shuttle's main computer for you and the squad to review before landing on Neimoidia. Any questions?"

Gyda raised his hand. "Master, what should I do?"

Chranell replied, "I need you to prepare our starfighter pilots for battle. Also, do me a favor and install a map of Neimoidia into the pilots' astromech droids. We may need to bomb some important Separatist facilities."

"Yes, master," Gyda said before turning and leaving with Zak and Kane.

Nebulax approached Chranell. "General, why, may I ask, are we taking orders from the Jedi Council? I respect the Jedi, you know that, but they are not in charge of the Republic."

Darius put his hand on Nebulax's shoulder. "Jack, the Jedi Council members serve as advisors to the Supreme Chancellor. I'm sure Chancellor Palpatine authorized the use of the shadow squad&mdash;"

"I don't mean that, sir," Nebulax cut in.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I mean, why can't the Supreme Chancellor tell us himself? It seems to me as if the Jedi are manipulating him to take a certain course of action," Nebulax said.

Chranell's attitude changed from friendly to alert. "What?"

Nebulax appeared to hold something back for a moment before saying, "Well, I remember you telling me that Obi-Wan Kenobi had been told by Count Dooku that there was a Sith in the Senate. Maybe he meant that the Sith was a Jedi advisor to the Chancellor."

"But that would mean a Jedi Master would be the Sith," Chranell said.

"That's what worries me, sir. If my fears are correct, then Neimoidia could very well be the end of the Republic," Nebulax said.

Chranell did not reply. When the silence became too long, Nebulax suggested, "Perhaps we should contact the Chancellor and tell him of this theory." As much as he didn't like the idea, Chranell felt as if a mind trick was being used on him, because he decided to contact Palpatine and inform him of the possibility.

"We'd best keep this to ourselves," Chranell said as he prepared to contact the Chancellor's office.

"I understand, sir," Nebulax said, trying to hide his smile. "I'll wait for you to complete the message."

"Thank you, Captain." Chranell then keyed in the frequency for the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Within seconds, a hologram of Palpatine appeared.

"Yes, Master Jedi?" Palpatine asked, smiling in his "savior-of-the-Republic" smile.

"Supreme Chancellor," Chranell said, bowing. Then he began. "Recently, I've become aware of a... theory that may have something to do with this alledged Sith in the Senate."

Palpatine appeared to lean in closer. "Yes?"

Chranell held it back for a moment or two, but he sensed the Chancellor was becoming impatient. "Well, Captain Jack Nebulax," Chranell began, gesturing to Nebulax, "suggested that this Sith may be a Jedi advisor to the Senate or possibly even to you. And since only Jedi High Council members advise you, he believes that the Sith Lord may be on the Jedi Council."

"A Sith Lord on the Jedi Council? That's impossible!" Supreme Chancellor Palpatine said.

"Well, Chancellor, I have my doubts as well," Chranell replied. "But Captain Nebulax believes that it's very likely. He also says that's why it's been so hard to find this Sith."

"May I speak to Captain Nebulax, Master Jedi?" Palpatine asked.

"Of course," Chranell said, bowing again, as Nebulax stepped up to the holoprojector plate.

"Supreme Chancellor," Nebulax said, also bowing.

"Tell me of your... theory."

Nebulax took a short pause before beginning. "Well, Your Excellency, after hearing of Count Dooku's claim, I began to do some personal research into the backgrounds of all the Senators and their aides. While I know their records could be false, my gut instinct, if I may phrase it as such, told me that they simply weren't Sith. However, I knew there was no way of proving my claim. But then I noticed that many Jedi had dealings with the Senate, and that some were even advisors to you. After asking Master Kenobi for the wording Dooku used on Geonosis, I concluded for myself that the Sith may be a Jedi. If that is the case, the entire Republic could be headed for the brink of destruction, and there would be no way of knowing so until the end." Palpatine nodded. And then, Nebulax said something that Chranell hadn't expected: "With your permission, Chancellor, I think we should strictly monitor all comunications set to and from the Jedi Temple."

Shocked, Chranell immediately rebuked the idea. Stepping back onto the holoprojector, he said, "That is not a wise course of action. We should not be treated like the enemy."

Nebulax did not falter. "But one of your own may be our greatest enemy."

"But there are surely other ways of rooting out a Sith Lord, even if he or she was within the Jedi Order," Chranell replied harshly.

"There may be, but we wouldn't know where to begin." Then, as if dismissing Chranell, Nebulax said, "Supreme Chancellor, what do you think of the idea?"

There was a long pause interrupted briefly by static. "Master Chranell is right, Captain Nebulax. We should not subject the entire Jedi Order to such a thing. It may expose the Sith Lord, but it violates their right to privacy."

"Of course, we don't have anything to hide, Chancellor," Chranell replied, giving Nebulax a short, cold stare.

"As you wish, Your Excellency," Nebulax said. Bowing, he left the holoprojector plate.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have matters to attend to. Good bye, gentlemen," Palpatine said, cutting the connection and creating a period of silence.

"That was not necessary," Chranell said, calming himself down while scolding Nebulax as if he were his own apprentice.

"I only suggested that for the betterment of the Republic," Nebulax said in a military tone. "With all due respect, I do not regret what I said. And if I was in charge, I would have implemented such a course of action, even if I had to break every law in the process. I do not want to see this Republic fall."

"So you would taint your relationship with the protectors of peace and justice for a government that could easily fall in any given minute?"

Nebulax did not need time to think it over. "Yes."

"Then I guess it's a good thing you're not in charge," Chranell said sharply before exiting the bridge.

Nebulax thought Chranell's last remark over for at least twenty minutes, standing almost motionless in the same spot he had been in when the Jedi Master left. He had always respected the Jedi, but lately his trust in them was waning. He turned to his second in command, Lieutenant Jason Xzine.

"The Jedi&mdash;they think they can do anything they want," Xzine said, almost spitting out the word "Jedi".

"Be careful about what you say, Xzine," Nebulax replied. "For now, they are our allies, whether we like it or not." Then he turned and walked out as well.

*         *          *

"Men, this will be a dangerous mission," Zak said to his squad. "Even with a Jedi helping us, I can't guarantee that this will be easy. In all likelihood, we'll have to destroy hundreds of battle droids and kill dozens of Neimoidians."

"I don't know about everyone else, but I'm ready to kill some Neims. Those spineless lizards have given the Republic enough trouble," a shadow trooper said.

"Oh, you'll get your chance, Jav," Zak replied. "Just don't kill General Findos." He motioned to the Neimoidian Jedi, who had sighed at Jav's remark.

"Sorry, General," Jav said to Kane without any hint of emotion.

"Anyway, we'll be departing in a Sheathipede-class shuttle. Using stolen Separatist codes, we'll land in the capital city, Koto-Si. From there we will proceed to cause as much damage as possible and distract them from the fleet, which will appear in orbit when we give them the signal."

"What if none of us live to give the signal?" another shadow trooper said.

"Then, within an hour of our landing on the planet, the fleet will commence a planetary bombardment of key facilities before deploying the invasion force," Zak replied.

"Wait, we only have an hour?" Jav asked. "That's cutting it close."

Kane stepped out of the shadows. "We don't have much time. Neimoidia is a key Separatist stronghold. Quasar Flame's Givin navigator calculated that reinforcements will arrive on Neimoidia within an hour of them realizing we're a Republic strike force."

"And when do you think they'll realize that, General?" a shadow trooper named Karc asked.

Kane allowed a smile. "As soon as we step out of the shuttle. But I have a few addition pieces of information to add before this briefing concludes."

"Of course, General," Zak said, stepping down from the platform on which he stood. Kane took his place.

"As you may or may not know, I'm not the only Neimoidian loyal to the Republic. I've recently been in contact with a group of Neimoidian warriors who have left the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion and set themselves up as the 'Grub Fighters'. We will join meet up with them in Koto-Si. Using access codes they managed to steal, we'll have access to about two-thirds of the entire capital city. Now, remember, we're only a distraction, so we'll mainly be attacking around the monitoring posts that constantly scan the skies of Neimoidia for enemies. If we succeed, Neimoidia will fall in hours," Kane said. "Any questions?"

The shadow troopers remained motionless. "Good," Kane said. "We'll be leaving shortly. I'll see you all in the hangar."
