Like fire, across the galaxy, the Clone Wars spread. That was the quote of Master Yoda. The fire burns on all worlds, taken by the Separatists, engulfing all life on the surface. The Separatists are the flames--Count Dooku is the source, Grievous is the extension of the flame. But then... Is Count Dooku the source of the fire? Was he responsible for igniting the spark that resulted between the clash of burning war? No, it had to be someone else to make Dooku do it--Darth Sidious, perhaps. Sidious, the man who acts in the shadows, who is the arsonist behind the scenes. Their fires are wild, and will prove nearly impossible to extinguish.

The Republic is the water, and so are the Jedi. It is their duty to extinguish the flames razed by the Separatists. If the Separatists retreat, we plant our seeds; the seeds of a growing alliance, a peaceful civilisation and a thriving community. But we have little to spare. Large dollops of water were being used everyday and our supply is running out. Once a flame is gone, another appears, and the hose of which we sprout from is starting to break. After three years of extinguishing, the water was no more. Brining out the reserve, we prepared to extinguish the great fire one last time... or so we thought.

The Republic or the Jedi Order was the water--both were the fires, both were the true enemy. The Sith, Darth Sidious was the water, turned our own supply against us, extinguishing our flames until not a spark remained. The plant no longer stands strong, for the fire has burned it. The Sith now plant their own seeds into the ground, growing from a rotting Republic to a Galactic Empire. Fortunately, there are still fires out there, sparks of fire ready to burn the Empire and replant the seeds with the water we will take. There is a spark and a drop of hope.
