Discovery
42 BBY

Aarok lived on Coruscant with his family in their estate, but when he was 11 months old, He showed his 1st sign of Force Potential. When he was 3, he was visited by Cin Drallig and Terra Sinube. He was taken to the Jedi Temple at age 4 and a half. He passed the firsts test with ease.

-Training-
37 BBY

He was selected to train, and trained as a Youngling until he was 6. He then was selected as a padawan, but 1st he had to pass "The Gathering." He passed well, faced his darkest foes, and came out on top. he crafted his 1st Lightsaber, and returned to Coruscant. He was chosen by Master Cin Drallig, who taught him well, and taught him everything about Lightsaber Combat, and the Force, that he knew. Aarok and Master Drallig went on many missions and at the age of 18, He was told he was ready for the trials.

-Knighthood-
23 BBY

He completed the trials and overcame His greatest fears, and was finally made, a Knight! He continued learning and teaching Younglings, until the time of, "The first battle of Geonosis" came round.

-The First Battle of Geonosis, Short version-
22 BBY

He faught in the battle and saw many brothers and sisters fall, but he knew The Jedi would prevail!

-More Teaching-
22 BBY

After the battle was over, he realized, he could use a little more teaching, so he found Master Skeeto Transmark and asked for continued guidance. They fought together on Umbara, and Faced Darth Maul and Savage Opress together, and succeeded. After that he knew his time of learning was finally complete. He and Skeeto remained great friends throughout their service in the Order.

-A Padawan, Then Lost-
22-22 BBY

Soon after the battle, Aarok accepted his 1st Padawan, Roy Rill. He trained him well, and taught him everything he knew, but unfortunately, Roy was killed by a Rogue Bounty Hunter, early in his training. Aarok was sad and mourned his padawan's loss, but knew he would see him again, one day.

Aarok began meditation, daily, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day, to take his mind off of Roy's loss, but in visions that he saw, he discovered that Roy was one the Force, but he was something more. what, Aarok never discovered. After he achieved Knighthood, and lost Roy to the Bounty Hunter, he needed to craft another lightsaber, because his 1st Lightsaber was damaged in the fight against the bounty hunter. that is one reason why Roy was killed that day, and Aarok took a very long time to forgive himself for that.

The Naboo Crisis
32 BBY

Aarok was only a padawan during the Naboo Crisis. He and his master, Cin Drallig, were going to be the ones who went on the mission, but Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-wan Kenobi went in their stead.

Aarok & Master Drallig wished to apprised of everything that went on, and they were. During the crisis, the sith apprentice Darth Maul, revealed himself to the Jedi, and the Galaxy. Master Drallig & Aarok were going to help Qui-Gon & Obi-wan face him, to hopefully rid the galaxy, of what was thought to be the last sith in the whole known galaxy itself. But they were told to remain on Coruscant, for reasons unknown, and did as they were told.

By the time that Naboo was freed, the Trade Federation was becoming more daring, and Qui-gon had fallen on Naboo to the hands of Maul, but Obi-wan had thought  to have slain him.

Aarok & Master Drallig attended the funeral, and comforted Obi-wan, in his time of loss and need. They also learned that Obi-wan was now going to train the newfound Force-Sensitive boy Anakin Skywalker, as his apprentice, whom the Jedi beleived to be the Chosen One.

Aarok also found out that Anakin was the same age as him, but was not supposed to be allowed to train as a Jedi, due to the fact that he was older than any normal aged Jedi Youngling should be, but he was trained anyways. Aarok & Anakin hit it off the first time they met, and became great friends.

Aarok and Anakin went on many missions together, sometimes with both of their masters, but sometimes only with Obi-wan, and they would fight in combat, and counter each other's moves to make them more unstoppable to any enemy that faced them.

The Celebration of Naboo being freed, and the Gungans and the Humans' peace act, took place on Naboo, and Aarok & Master Drallig attended. That is where Anakin first met Aarok, and they hung out for a while as well. The Celebration was lovely, and Aarok was glad that it went well, but he missed Master Qui-Gon a little, because Aarok had wished that he could have known him more, but at Aarok's age, he didn't know if Jedi or anyone lived on after Earthly Death, so he wasn't sure if he would see him again, but he was hopeful...

End of, "The Naboo Crisis."-

The Queen of Naboo Re-elected
29 BBY

During the Crisis of Naboo, Anakin had become good friends with Padme, and also thought he liked her, and Aarok had told him that he was way too young for her, but Anakin still held out.

Aarok & Master Drallig were stationed on Naboo in 29 BBY to protect Queen Amidala, should any uprising or attack be made against her, due to her re-election. The vote for election was unanimous in Amidala's favor, and she was re-elected. Aarok & Master Drallig remained on Naboo for two more months, to ensure her safety, then they returned to The Temple, eager to revisit with friends, and Aarok wished to train a little more, with his master & Anakin.

After Padme was re-elected, she stayed in office until sometime around 26-25 BBY, where she then was appointed Senator for Naboo, after the former Senator had resigned.

Aarok & Anakin awaited the day that they would get farther along in their training, and the day that they might see Padme again, for Aarok also had become friends with Padme, but didn't like her like Anakin did...

End of, "The Queen of Naboo Re-elected."-

Yaddle's Sacrifice
26 BBY

In 26 BBY, Obi-wan Kenobi, his padawan, Anakin Skywalker, and Jedi Master Yaddle, were sent to Mawan to restore peace to the lawless planet. During their visit there, a bio-chemical weapon was released by Granta Omega, and Yaddle absorbed the deadly toxin, to save Obi-wan & Anakin, as well as the planet and it's people.

Yaddle was only 483 at the time of her death, but she died a Heroine, and saved the city Naatan and its people. She was given a beautiful funeral, and she was remembered. Aarok missed her because he had begun forming a slight attachment to her, because she was instrumental in Aarok's coming to the Temple, and his acceptance by the Order.

Anakin was saddened by Yaddle's loss as well, but Aarok & many other Jedi comforted him, and the two Padawans returned to Service soon...

End of, "Yaddle's Sacrifice."-

Mission with Mundi
25 BBY

A year before the CIS was formed, Aarok who still only a padawan was assigned by the Council, to go on a mission without his Master, and instead to go with Ki-Adi-Mundi.

Aarok was assigned with Mundi to go on a diplomatic mission, to resolve some unrest between two neighboring species on the same planet, who were becoming very unseasy. The two species were Quarren and Mon Cala. The peace talks between the two species weren't going well, and Mundi & Aarok were sent to calm everyone down.

When they arrived, the talks were going back to civil, and the two species were actually working together on a way to share, and in the end they succeeded. Mundi & Aarok returned to the Council, and said that all had gone well, and that they hardly had to do anything. It was still a teaching experience for Aarok and he was grateful to Mundi. "Thank you Master Mundi." Aarok told him, before he returned to his master, "You're very welcome young one. You will be a great Knight one day soon Aarok." Ki-Adi replied, "Thank You Master!" Aarok replied happily, "Your welcome Aarok." Mundi replied. They went their separate ways for the day, and all was well. "So Aarok, how was the mission Padawan?" Master Drallig asked. "It was great Master!" Aarok said excitedly, "Very Good." Drallig replied. They talked for a little while longer, then they trained in Lightsaber Combat for a while, and all was going well, until the CIS had to form on Raxus Prime...

End of, "Mission with Mundi."-

The CIS Formed on Raxus Prime
24 BBY

Two years before the Clone Wars were going to begin, the CIS was formed on Raxus Prime, and the Separatists were beginning to decide to possibly go to war with the republic and the Jedi.

Aarok was assigned by Master Yoda in secret to go to Raxus Prime, and discover what was going on there, because Yoda had sensed something in the works.

Aarok obeyed Master Yoda, and did as he was told, not tell his Master, Cin anything. Aarok was only to inform him that he was assigned by the council to go on a mission, and his master was alright with Aarok's departure.

Aarok began his journey to Raxus, and got there in a rotaion and-a-half. He stayed in the shadows, as he was told, and discovered the place where the CIS leaders were meeting. He remained in the room, while they spoke amongst themselves. "I am ready to create this organization." Wat Tambor spoke. "As am I." San Hill spoke. The various species leaders chatted somemore, until they finally decided to create the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and also called themselves, 'Separatists'.

Aarok returned to Coruscant, and spoke to Master Yoda, and told him everything. The next day, the Council convened to speak on these things. Aarok was granted the rank of Knight the next year, after he endured the Trials, and it was also a reward, for his service on Raxus Prime.

The Council decided that if a war were to happen, they would fight if they must, but no armies, and no offense, only defense.

But instead, in two years, the Clone Wars began...

End of, "The CIS Formed on Raxus Prime."-

The Jedi Trials of Knighthood
23 BBY

One year after Aarok was assigned by Yoda to spy on the CIS council, and discover their intentions, he was told by his master, Cin Drallig, that he was ready for the trials.

-Trial of Insight
Aarok first was tried by the Trial of Insight, where Cin Drallig was turned to the Dark Side, and the Jedi were extinct, Aarok being the last. Aarok knew that he couldn't beat the greatest Swordsman in the Jedi Order, especially now that he had Sith Powers.

Aarok told his former master, "You were my teacher, and I will face you, even if I will be defeated." His master didn't reply anything, but simply decided to attack Aarok. He dodged the first blow but was immediately being pushed back by Drallig. He was about to be stabbed in the chest, after being beaten back continously, but he instead pushed against the blade with his hands, the same way Satele Shan did, when she was facing Malgus on Alderaan. Aarok immediately brought his lightsaber back into his hand, and stabbed his former master, deep in the chest, and he fell.

-Trial of Flesh
After Aarok had defeated his former master, and overcome the Trial of Insight, he knew it was only a hallucenation. Next Aarok had to take the Trial of Flesh.

Aarok closed his eyes before he began the trial, and he immediately opened his eyes, and was in an area, being attacked by a Rancor. Aarok was instantaniously picked up by the Rancor, and thrown into a huge pillar. The Rancor next picked Aarok up, and tore his Left Hand completely, right off from Shoulder Height.

Aarok screamed in pain, but grabbed his Lightsaber with his non-dominant hand and leaped atop the Rancor, and plunged his saber deep into it's head, then the Rancor fell over for dead.

Aarok awoke immediately after he was done, and discovered it was only his Trial of Flesh, and realized that his arm was not missing, and he was so thankful.

-Trial of Skill
Next Aarok began his next trial, the Trial of Skill.

Aarok was thrust into combat against a horde of Sith, at least 50. He recognized none of them, but assumed them as hallucinations, or a trick, when a cloaked, hooded figure emerged from the midst of them, claiming to be the leader.

Aarok engaged the leader in front of all of the other sith, and struck him down, without taking any fatal injuries, but then the horde immediately started coming at him, and he felt that he was being buried by them, until he used Force Pound, and knocked them all down. He then used a move, not usually used by Jedi, and turned all the bodies of the Sith, to a copper dust, and they were dead.

-Trial of Spirit
Next, Aarok had to face his trial of spirit, a fight within himself. Aarok was thrust into a wall by a dark hooded figure, and Aarok discovered it to be his dark version. He threw his dark side across the room, to the other side, by means of Force Push.

Next, Aarok began dueling himself, and was countering every move with his dark side, but he got the upper hand, because his dark side figure used a Double-bladed Saber, he used it as a weakness.

He struck the long handle right in the middle, and both blades shorted out. Aarok immediately decapitated his dark side self, and awoke from that trial. Aarok was ready for his final trial, but didn't expect what it would be.

-Trial of Courage
Aarok was asked by the council, but it was a dream, even though he didn't know it. Aarok entered the council spire, and the lights were off, but the council was in their chairs.

Aarok entered the room, and just Yoda was about to speak, 12 Dark Figures appeared, and cut down all of the High Council. Aarok stood, baffled, saddened, and slightly enraged. He began to attack the supposed thought Sith Assasins, but immediately felt something was wrong when he was enraged. he humbled himself, and embraced his inner self, then used Force Repulse, and launched all 12 figures out of the windows, immediately killing them all, due to their fall, and landed below, everyone of the 12, dead. And Aarok was done with his trials.

-Knighting Ceremony
Aarok awoke from whatever state he was in, and his master & Yoda were there. They told him, "Done very well you have, Aarok. Exceptional skill you have shown, through what you thought as great loss, endured you have, very well.." Master Yoda spoke.

"Aarok, my former apprentice, you have done so well, I couldn't be more proud. You have done so well, and you deserve your Knighthood. Congratulations, Aarok, Knight of the Jedi." Cin said.



Aarok headed to the Temple main hall, where the ceremony was being held, and entered the room, to be

visited by many-a-jedi, and given congrats, and many things.

In the end, Aarok was know a Knight, and he was able to take on his own Padawan. And he did, in the next year he did.

After his Trials were complete, and he had his padawan, sadly Roy was killed by a Bounty Hunter, and was sad, but he loved his padawan, and knew he was in a better place. Aarok was then ready to fight as a General in the Clone Wars, but first, he had to track a Bounty Hunter...

End of, "The Jedi Trials of Knighthood."-

Search for Jango Fett
22 BBY

Aarok was tasked with a mission, he was to go into the Coruscant underworld, and search for a bounty hunter, by the name of Jango Fett, and speak with him. Aarok obeyed the Council and went for the underworld immediately. he arrived there soon, and headed to the bar that Jango frequented. Unfortunately, Aarok never located Jango, so he headed back to the Jedi Temple, and informed them, that he never found him, but Obi-wan Kenobi had better luck, much better luck, on Kamino & Geonosis...

End of, "Search for Jango Fett."-

The 1st battle of Geonosis
22 BBY

One day, as Aarok was in his chambers, Master Windu appeared in the doorway. "Master Windu, you startled me, is something wrong?" "I'm afraid there is Aarok." replied Windu. "What? has a Jedi been killed?" "No, but if we don't hurry, they might be." "What is wrong?" was Aarok's response. "Master Kenobi and Padawan Skywalker went to Geonosis to track down Dooku, and follow a few leads. After a brief transmission from Kenobi, we realized they were captured, and are in an Arena being used for entertainment." "Let's go Master!" "We are already to go, You me, and many other Jedi on our way to rescue them." "Very well, when do we leave?" "Now." replied Master Windu. After they embarked, they arrived in a half rotation's cycle, and began there journey into the arena, undetected. "All Jedi, fan out and blend in." Master Windu said, "Very Well." were most of the Jedi's responses.



After the Jedi revealed themselves, many started dying from all the droids, left and right. Dooku spoke aloud, and offered Master Windu a surrender, and that the Jedi's lives would be spared. Windu refused, so Dooku gave the order to anihilate the rest of the Jedi, just then Senator Amidala said, "Look!"

The clones came to the rescue and all the Jedi escaped. Aarok was sent with most of the Jedi to fight in the battle. But just after his Gunship landed, a rocket exploded 30 feet away from them, and a clone yelled, "DOWN!!!" just then another rocket hit 32 feet away on the other side, and Aarok was knocked back onto the door of the gunship, then when the 2nd missile hit, he flew 10 feet and landed face-first. that was a sign that he need immediate medical attention. "MEDIC!!" a clone yelled, "Hang in there Sir, help is on the way." just after, Aarok fainted. next thing he knew, he was awake in the Jedi Temple Medical bay. "What happened??" Aarok asked. "Just after you were knocked out, the battle went into full force, you were evacced to the nearest safe zone. and were taken back here, to heal." Master Windu said. "Long story short, a lot happened, and it will be explained in time." Kenobi said. "For now, rest you need, Yes, rest." Yoda said. "Yes master." Aarok replied.

He continued healing and in quick time, he was ready for action.. In the Clone Wars...

-End of, 1st battle of Geonosis."-

Journey to Kamino
22 BBY

Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Aarok accomponied Siri Tachi on a mission to Kamino, where they were to investigate the sighting of Slave-I, Jango Fett's ship, when accordingly, Jango Fett was killed on Geonosis by Mace Windu.

They began their journey in two Hyperspace rings, inside their Delta 7b Aethersprite Starfighters, and got to Kamino in decent time. Aarok & Siri didn't talk much, but they were pretty good friends. Aarok was there for Siri when her padawan, Ferus Olin left the Order, following the death of one of his closest Padawan friends.

They landed on Kamino, and discovered that it was Boba who had Slave-I, but after learning of the Jedi's arrival, he eluded the two Jedi, and escaped the planet. Afterwards, Aarok returned to Coruscant while Siri headed off to join up with Obi-wan, Anakin & Padme on Genian. They departed from each other on Kamino, and told each other at the same time, "May the Force be With You."

And that was the last time Aarok saw Siri, because after he had returned to Coruscant, he learned that Siri and the others had ended up on Azure, and after things had transpired, Siri had been fatally injured by the Bounty Hunter Magus, and then Obi-wan tried to save her, but he and she knew that she was dying.

Just before she died, She & Obi-wan again declared their love for each other, because one point in the past, they were romantically involved, and when they finished, her Life-Force faded away, and she was one with the Force.

She was given a proper Jedi Funeral, and was finally one with the Force. Obi-wan had some issues after her death, but overcame them. Aarok comforted him, and Obi-wan comforted Aarok, for they both missed her very much. Aarok missed her because she truly was a great friend, and Obi-wan missed her, because he loved her.

After her death, The Clone Wars went into full force & the Jedi were truly "Thrust into War..."

End of, "Journey to Kamino."-

The Clone Wars Begun
22 BBY

In the first days of the war, Aarok was still getting used to being in a war, and commanding a squad of clones. He was slightly ready for a leadership role, and overall, he handled himself well, during the war. He fought on many fronts during the war, from the Felucia Sieges, to the Ryloth Battles, to the 2nd Battle of Geonosis, to Umbara, to Carlac, and to many other fronts.

He served with a faithful legion of clones, designated 224th Recon Legion, but unfortunately, the group was disbanded early in the war, after many of the clones were being killed on many fronts, so Aarok was transferred to the 501st Legion, and given a small squad, like Anakin, with a trooper by the name of 'Captain Beta', who served Aarok well during the war, but was killed on an assignment to Mygeeto, when Aarok wasnt with him. Aarok missed his Captain alot, but knew he served the Republic bravely, and defended many worlds, saved many lives, and died a hero.

Aarok stayed in the 501st, mostly fighting alongside Anakin, but not really commanding his own legion. He knew Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex very well, and was good friends with them both, and served with them on many worlds, and many missions. Near the end of the war, Aarok decided, he would stay on Coruscant more, at the Jedi Temple, and be more of a teacher, but was always ready to fight, anywhere, anytime, if he had to...

End of, "The Clone Wars Begun."-

The Battle of Christophsis.
22 BBY

Aarok was at the Battle of Christophsis, but he only flew a Starfighter in the space battle. After that, Aarok was recalled back to Coruscant by Master Windu.

"Aarok, Go to Christophsis you must." "Very well, Master Yoda." Aarok Immediately took off for the hanger, flew up to the atmosphere and docked with the Defender Immediately. He was not tasked with going with Anakin to deliver the supplies, but he was tasked with knocking out the fighters, after Anakin destroyed the Command Ship. "All Fighters to me, were going in to knock out the final Frigates. prepare your torpedoes, were targetting the bridges of the ships." "Yes Sir!" 3 Pilots replied, in unison. the 3 remaining frigates were destroyed all together, and Aarok contacted Obi-wan, reporting a Mission Success. "Obi-wan, All the Frigates have been destroyed, and there are no fighters left." "Very well, be careful returning to the hanger." "I will." Aarok ended the transmission.

Aarok was then contacted by Windu to return to Coruscant, for what... he didnt know.

After he returned to Coruscant, he heard word that Anakin had a new padawan, that Christophsis was finally free of Separatist control, and the battle went very well. The reason Aarok returned to Coruscant was because Master Windu had requested that Aarok be given the Mission of capturing the Bounty Hunter, and retrieving the info that he had, Info, that could not enter the hands of the CIS...

-End of "Battle of Christophsis."-

The Bounty Hunter on Coruscant
22 BBY

Aarok was contacted by Master Windu and requested to return to Coruscant, immediately. He obeyed, and returned home on The Revelation, His Jedi Friend's Flagship. Once he arrived, He was asked to meet at the Jedi Temple, in Windu's quarters. He landed his fighter at the Temple Hangar, and made his way to Windu's quarters. "Master Windu, what is the problem?" "There has been, a break in. A bounty hunter has taken valuable information, that could help in the war, very much." "Ok, where do I begin?" Aarok asked, head to the lower part of the E7 District, the Bounty Hunter fled there." "Very well."  Aarok moved to E7, found a clue, and then was shot at, by the Bounty Hunter. He dodged easily and forced the bounty hunter away. The BH ran away, but Aarok forced him into the wall, and knocked him out. The BH's little pet was not very agressive, so Aarok arrested the Bounty Hunter, and took him to the Prison. "You have done very well, Master Bactamark, did you recover the information?" Asked Master Windu. "Yes I did, here it is." "Thank You." was Aarok's response.

After that the Bounty Hunter was put in prison, never to escape, and died there in a few years, and Aarok returned to his Quarters, ready for the next battle...

End of, "The Bounty Hunter on Coruscant."-

The Malevolance
22 BBY

Aarok was asked by Ahsoka his good friend, if he wished to help her and her master Anakin Skywalker, search for Master Plo Koon, and Aarok said, "Alright, lets go." They headed off for the twilight, cause Aarok was with Anakin and his fleet, instead of being with anyone else, but normal protocol would be for Aarok to stay as Temporary General in command, but Anakin never listened to Advice, or protocol.

They headed off in the general direction of the cruiser's last known location, and located Master Plo and his men, and got them to safety, then discovered the ship that was attacking all of the Republic's Cruisers, The Malevolance.

Anakin headed out of the Space Junk field, so he could get a proper & safe jump to lightspeed, but Grievous ordered them to fire the weapon, so Anakin also had to evade that. They escaped the rubble, and returned to the nearest fleet, then discovered that Grievous was planning an attack on one of the Republic Medical Bases, so the Jedi decided to send Anakin and a squadron of Y-wings to get there first. Aarok did not accompony Anakin though, he remained with Anakin's fleet, until he headed for Obi-wan's Cruiser, to get to the medical base as well.

After Obi-wan & Aarok arrived, they discovered the Malevolance on fire, and burning, and that the Y-wings were docked at the medical base. Anakin & Obi-wan spoke, and Then Obi-wan engaged the Malevolance as it was retreating, after apparantley suffering damage, that knocked the hyperdrive out of comission temporarily.

Then all of the sudden, a Naboo Senator's Ship dropped out of Hyperspace, and was sucked into the ship by its tractor beam. So Anakin & Obi-wan headed off in the Twilight to rescue Senator Amidala and Threepio. Aarok stayed behind on the Cruiser, and was in charge of making sure that the cruiser's didnt destroy the ship before the Jedi & Senator were off.

Aarok received a transmission from Anakin, saying dont worry about destroying the ship, he had taken care of that already. Aarok watched as the Malevolance crashed into the nearby moon, but not before Grievous escaped the ship, and was engaging Anakin, but ended up fleeing.

All of the Jedi returned to where they were supposed to, but Aarok returned to Coruscant, where he began his Chores and Activities. All was well, and there was never another ship like the Malevolance again...

End of, "The Malevolance."-

First Time Meeting Zaalbar
22 BBY

Shortly after the Malevolance had been destroyed, Aarok had returned to the temple, and was in charge of helping Jedi Master Vette Derlih train her padawan for a short time. Her Padawan was Zaalbar Tokocharger, and he had a reputation for as young as he was. He was a skilled duelist even for his age, and could beat many padawans in dueling, but Aarok wished to see if he could beat a Knight.

Aarok was in the Mess Hall when Zaal entered, so he hollered to him. "Hey, Zaal, over here!" Aarok  called over to him. "Hey, Aarok!" Zaal said, and hurried over, and sat down. "What about a quick training duel after we eat?" Zaal asked. "Sure!" Aarok said. "Okay." Zaal said, and started eating. They quickly finished thier meal, and walked to the dueling pad.

"So Zaal, I hear your master has a trying time with You." Aarok said, "Well kind of." Zaal said. "Very well, Let's begin." Aarok said, "Ok." Zaal replied.

Zaal and Aarok stepped into the ring. He reached down, and grabed his lightsaber. He ignited it, and held it forward. Zaal took the first move, and swung his saber down towards Aarok's blade. He deflected Zaal's first thrust down to the left and went back to guard, just in time to parry another thrust. that came close to getting under his guard. Zaal let his blade slide down Aarok's, then pivoted under Aarok's guard, freeing his blade to face Aarok from the right. Aarok stepped back and swung around as he adjusted his stance to meet Zaal's attack. Aarok let his right hand go of his saber, and extended the blade in a one handed thrust to give him more reach, as he advanced to Zaal, but he would have none of that. Zaal brought down his saber on the tip of Aarok's blade, with maximum force, and knocked it out of his hand.

"Good job, Master Aarok." Zaal said, his saber pointed at him. Zaal deactivated his saber, and picked up Aarok's. "Here." Zaal said, and tossed it to Aarok.

"Thank You Zaal, You are very skilled, Your Master should be proud. But now you need to hone your skill, to truly be the best you can be." Aarok, said, accepting his saber.

Lightsaber combat was one thing Zaal was good at, Aarok thought. Master Vette, Zaal's master walked in, and the two of them headed off. Just before they exited the door, Zaal ran to Aarok and bowed to him, thanking him for the duel. Aarok told him, "You're welcome." Then they bowed to each other respectfully, and Zaal & Master Vette were off.

Exactly one year or so after Aarok's duel with Zaal, another took place, but that time, Aarok beat Zaal. Neither of them ever held any kind of grudge or jealously towards one another. They started having annual duels, and were great friends for a long time...

End of, "First Time Meeting Zaalbar."-

Sky Battle of Quell
22 BBY

Shortly after the Malevolance's brief existence, and Aarok had trained Zaalbar, Aarok was contacted by Anakin, and asked if he would like to go with him on a mission to rescue Master Aayla Secura, and her troops. "Aarok, want to help me rescue Master Secura?" Anakin asked, "Sure, lets get going." Aarok replied. They headed off for Quell, and arrived in a rotation, ready for battle.

Aarok flew he Terra Green Delta 7-a through-out the war, but for the first mission he flew in, this mission, he flew a Red Delta 7-b, similar to Obi-wan Kenobi's starfighter. Later in the war, Aarok flew a Dark Blue Eta-2 Interceptor, until the time of Operation Knightfall.

"All Pilots, prepare for takeoff, repeat, prepare for takeoff." a voice over the comm spoke. Aarok was told by Admiral Yularen, that his orders were to protect the gunships, and get them there and back safely. Aarok flew out of the Hangar, ready for battle.

Aarok did his best to guard the gunships, and did a good job doing so. He got the gunships there and back again, but lost track of Anakin's gunship after it crashed. He docked with the Resolute, and found out that the Jedi were safe, but the hyperspace thing was activated, so he returned to Coruscant, while Admiral Yularen and the rest of Anakin's ships, searched for the missing ships.

Aarok arrived at Coruscant, and learned that the Jedi were found, and were on their way back to Coruscant, safely. Aarok was overjoyed, and returned to his daily chores and activities, until the time of Orto Plutonia, came around...

Aarok was with Master Plo Koon on Juma 9 when Obi-wan arrived for a pit stop. He & Plo greeted Kenobi when he landed, and while Plo and Obi-wan were on their way to the bridge of the space station, Aarok was in the main hangar area, when the Separatists attacked.

The Jedi & Clones were caught off guard by this attack, and didn't forsee the outcome of it either. Aarok fought the Droids where he could, saved any clones he could, and when Masters' Windu & Fisto arrived, he helped them, in returning the Space Station to normal, and locating Plo & Obi-wan, after their brief disappearance, due to Kul Teska, a Skakoan mercenary, hired by Dooku to retrieve a stolen weapon.

After the aftermath of the attack, Obi-wan & Plo were rescued from being trapped in the room, without their Lightsabers, and the station was repaired and returned to normal.

Afterwards, Anakin, Obi-wan, Rex & Cody, & Ahsoka, went to Bephour to stop the Skakoan from activating the weapon that Teska had re-acquired the device, and planned to use it to destroy Naboo, from its neighboring planet of Bephour.

Anakin, Obi-wan, and the rest of their team, were successful in stopping Teska, and saved Naboo from certain doom. Aarok didn't accompony the team on their mission, but instead returned to Coruscant.

Aarok prepared for the coming mission to Orto Plutonia, and went with Anakin & Obi-wan, when they lost transmission, and any signal from the Republic Base...

Battle of Orto Plutonia
22 BBY

Aarok was contacted by Anakin Skywalker, and selected to go on the Mission, to free Orto Plutonia from Separatist control, and rid the system completely. Aarok stated, "Well Anakin, what have you got for me this time?" Anakin replied, "Well, you wanna blow up a droid transport?" "Sure!" replied Aarok. "Anything is better than standing still and freezing to death." "Well your in luck!" Anakin said. "Great!" was Aarok's response.

After they embarked in there fighters, they immediatly ran into Vulture droids and Hyena Bombers. "Well this should be interesting." after making it halfway to the location, Aarok was hit in the engine, but it wasn't critical. Anakin blinked on his Comm, "Aarok are you alright?" Yes I'm fine Anakin, nothing vital." "Very well, lets get moving." after they got to the transport it was shielded, but Anakin said. "Target that Ice Bridge, we can crush them beneath it!" the bridge was destroyed and so was the transport. They succeeded in thier efforts, and defeated the Seppies, sending them running, with minimal casualties on thier side. Aarok flew side by side with Anakin and helped destroy the Beetle Transport, and also knocked out 87% of the droid fighters and bombers. Once the ship was destroyed he returned to Coruscant, until the next battle.



Aarok flew in the space battle, commanding a squadron of fighters, who were knocking out the Munificent Frigates, left and right. The Space battle was short, but the republic won. Then, the battle was won, in space and on the ground. Aarok stated to Anakin, "the Droids up here are fleeing, this battle is ours." "Very good my friend."





Aarok returned to Coruscant and spoke with The Council. Aarok reported, "The battle on Orto Plutonia was a major success." "Good, Very Good!" Yoda replied. Master Windu asked, "How did the battle go? were any Talz harmed?" "No Master Windu, everything was taken care of, and no Talz were hurt, and no structures or locations were destroyed." "Very good!" Master Yoda replied." You may return to your daily activities General Bactamark." stated Master Windu. "Thank You my masters.."

End of "Battle of Orto Plutonia."-

Rescuing Zaal's Master
22 BBY (4 Months after Aarok's duel with Zaal.)

Shortly after the Battle of Orto Plutonia, Aarok & Zaal were assigned by Yoda to rescue Zaal's master, Vette Derlih.

Zaal and Aarok walked stealthly through the underground building. Zaal's Master, Vette Derlih, had been kidnapped, by the Separatists. "Zaal, Stop!" Aarok said quietly, and Zaal obeyed. Battle droids marched down the corridor. The Jedi stepped into a small room quickly. "Hey, your not supposed to be here!" said a droid, who had spotted them. "Famous last words of a droid." Zaal commented, and whipped out his saber. He left the droid in a smoking heap of spare parts, then more droids walked in. Zaal and Aarok had reduced half of them to smoldering junk. suddenly the droids started retreating.

"I hate it when they do that." Aarok said.

"Do what?" Zaal asked.

"Retreat with no reason." Aarok said.

"There's always a reason, Master Aarok."

"That's why I hate it."

"R3, find out where Master Vette is." Zaal ordered his Astromech Droid, pointing to a Terminal.

The droid gave a response of beeps and whistles, and rolled over to the spot in the wall. after a few moments, the droids head swiveled around, and produced a ghostly blue Holoprojection. Master Vette was bound to a chair in am empty room.

"That makes no sense. She should be heavily guarded." Zaal said.

"It makes perfect sense. It's a trap." Aarok said. "And may be made for us, personally."

Okay, so it's a trap, whats our next move?" Zaal asked.

"We do as usual. We spring it."

"That's a plan I can follow."

Zaal and Aarok hurried to the chamber where Master Vette is being held. Zaal immediately started working on the door, ignoring the R3 unit. The door swooshed open, and Zaal walked in.

"Master!" Zaal exclaimed.

"Zaalbar!" Master Vette said. "It's a--"

"Yes, we already know it's a trap, Master."

"Well, you just walked into it."

"That's the plan."

"You know Zaal, sometimes your methods surprise me."

Behind them, the droid monster, Grievous walked in, before Zaal had time to unbind his master.

"Jedi Scum!" Grievous said, with his Magnaguards next to him.

"Zaal, don't engage him." Master Vette ordered.

"I wont leave you, Master."

"Zaal, Leave this to me." Aarok said.

"Not a chance, Master Aarok." Zaal said, and activated his saber.

"Ah, two more sabers to add to my fine collection." Grievous said, and went into a coughing fit.

"How bout I add yours to mine?" Zaal taunted.

"Fool!" Grievous said.

"Do not underestimate him!" Master Vette said.

Grievous reached for his four sabers, and advanced on Aarok, and Zaal.

Zaal swung his blade at Grievous, but was easily deflected. Zaal and Aarok fought the beastly droid until the point of complete exhaustion. But Zaal managed to cripple his left leg.

"This is not the last of me!" Grievous snarled, and crawled out on his four arms in a spider like fashion.

"Coward. If you so much as scratch his armor, he crawls away to get repairs." Zaal commented.

But the Magnaguards were still a problem. The droids advanced on Aarok & Zaal, but Aarok & Zaal did their best to avoid their Electrorods. They engaged the droids, and Aarok took two of them, while Zaal took the other one. Aarok used his blade to decapitate one of them, and he succeeded, but then the droid still kept swinging it's arm frantically. Aarok force pushed it into the wall, where it was impaled by something on the wall. Aarok attacked the other one, and cut off its legs in one fatal swoop, then its hand that was reaching for its electrostaff, then he stabbed the droid right in the heart area, and the droid shut down and died.

Zaal was having a bit more trouble with the other Magnaguard, because it appeared to be the boss magnaguard. he was swinging his lightsaber every which way and that, without success. After Aarok dispatched of his two droids, he told Zaal to bend down, and he did. While Zaal was bent over, Aarok rolled over on top of Zaal's back, and went in for a Foward Stab, and was successful. The Droid fell onto the ground, and it's eyes faded away. "Showoff." Zaal said sarcastically, "I'm just doing my job." Aarok said smirking.

After the droids had been dispatched, Aarok & Zaal finished rescuing Master Vette, and the three returned to Coruscant. Zaalbar & Vette were very thankful to Aarok, and he was just glad he could help. The 3 Jedi parted ways, and Aarok was called to the temple Security Room.

He made his way there shortly, and was greeted by Masters' Kenobi, Skywalker, Mundi, Unduli, Yoda & Windu. He was told he was on his way to Geonosis, again...

End of, "Rescuing Zaal's Master."-

The 2nd Battle of Geonosis
22 BBY

Aarok was at the 2nd Battle of Geonosis. He flew in a Y-wing to knock out the Geonosian fighters, then fought on the surface to help clear all of the resistance.

After the flying was done, and the troops were landed, Aarok was at a different location on the planet, the opposite side of the planet that the other 3 Jedi were. He also worked with Captain Breaker, and helped destroy the last Super Tank, that was going to attack Skywalkers forces.

In the end, Many things happened during the battle, including Luminara being kidnapped, Ahsoka & Barriss dealing with the worms, and A new tank for the CIS, The Super Tank, along with also being able to support the Landing at Point Rain.

After Geonosis was returned to Republic Control, Aarok returned to Coruscant, and prepared to go with Anakin, Obi-wan & Adi Gallia to rescue Master Koth, from the hands of General Grievous...But first, he had to help Master Windu on Dantooine...

-End of, "The 2nd Battle of Geonosis".-

Mission with Mace
(aka, " The Battle of Dantooine")

22 BBY

Aarok was ordered by the Council to assist Jedi Master Mace Windu on Dantooine. He obeyed and left Geonosis shortly after the initial battle was done. He left in his starfighter for Dantooine while Ahsoka & Barriss were headed there as well to get the supplies to his troops. But Aarok left two days before they did, and received word that they were on their way to Dantooine as well.

Once Aarok had landed, he was greeted by Master Windu. "Greetings Aarok, glad you could make it." Mace said, "As am I." Aarok replied. They had a short briefing with the Clone troops, and then prepared to face the 4-to-1 odds of Super Battle Droids coming for them.

The battle began, and many droids and clones were being killed all around Aarok, but he calmed himself, and let the flow of the Force guide him, with which he used to destroy many numbers of Super Battle Droids. After the battle had been raging for some time, the Separatists unveiled a new weapon, the seismic tank.

The tank began unleashing seismic bursts, and it was throwing around clones because of the effects. In the first initial shockwave, Mace lost his Lightsaber and began fighting the super battle droids with his bare hands. During the battle, he showed great skill in Force push, Force speed and the Force wave moves, which were remembered throughout history.

The tank unleashed another Seismic burst, and this time destroyed some of the Separatist forces, but destroyed plenty of Republic Tanks, and immobilized a lot of clones. It also sent Aarok flying threw the air, and he landed with a "Thud", and immediately fell unconscious.

After Aarok had been knocked out, Windu learned of it, and decided to focus on eliminating the tank, after he recovered his lightsaber during another shockwave. He leaped atop the tank, cutting his way through, and proceeded to rip out wires and cut the controls, and then he exited the tank, leaped onto the ground, and watched as the tank blew up. After Mace landed from his high-velocity jump, a boy handed him a bottle of water.

After the battle had been won by the Republic, Aarok was revived by a medic and returned to the Temple, but was ordered to the Medical bay, after possibly breaking his hand after impact. Immediately upon arriving at the Medical bay, an X-ray of his hand was taken but no damage was shown, and he was able to return to Active Duty, which he was very thankful for.

Soon after the battle had ended & Aarok returned to Coruscant, he was asked by Anakin to rescue a Captured Jedi from the clutches of General Grievous...

End of, "Mission with Mace."-

Battle of Saleucami
22 BBY

The next battle Aarok took place in was Saleucami. While Master Kenobi was taking care of the droids on the planet surface, Aarok & Anakin took care of the Separatist Blockade.

Anakin asked Aarok one day, "Aarok you wanna help rescue Master Koth?" "He's been taken?" "Yes Aarok." "Ok lets get going!" Aarok replied. "Good, the fleet is already ready to mobilize and get going." "Very well." After they spoke, they entered the Resolute, and began the journey. after Master Koth was rescued, he thanked all the jedi who came to his rescue. "Thank you Masters." "It was our pleasure." replied Aarok. after that, Obi-wan moved to the surface to follow Grievous. "I'm going after Grievous, you and Anakin take care of the rest of the fleet." Very well." replied Aarok. "Alright let's get to our fighters!" Anakin said, "Good!" replied Aarok. they flew out of the hanger and immediatly ran into fighters. "Alright, Aarok focus on the fighters, I'll take care of the Frigates and take out any fighters on my way." Very Good Anakin." Aarok replied. After 78% of the Fighters were destroyed, Aarok contacted Anakin. "Anakin Come in!" "Yes Aarok?" "I've taken care of most of the fighters, but I'm too close to not attack the Command Ship." "very well, but be careful, I'm detecting Tri-Fighters." I will be careful." replied Aarok. "Very Good." Anakin said. "May the Force be with You Aarok," "You too Anakin." Aarok replied.

shortly after he contacted Anakin, the Tri-Fighters appeared. Aarok knocked out all but one before the missiles were launched. One Rocket flew right by Aarok and exploded 2 kilometers behind him, but no Buzz Droids got on his ship. After this Aarok attacked the command ship, and Destroyed the bridge. "Anakin, Come In!" "Yes Aarok?" "The command ship's Bridge has been destroyed. tell the fleet to target the mid-section and the engines." "Very well, I'll inform them now." Anakin replied. "Good, I'm returning to the hanger now, all fighters destroyed." "Great Job! and Great Flying out there!" "Thank you Anakin!" Aarok replied.

Aarok returned to the hanger, and the command ship was Decimated. The rest of the fleet was destroyed too. "Anakin, The fleet has been destroyed, This battle is ours." "Good, Very good, I'm returning to the hanger now myself." "Good, see you soon." Aarok replied. after Anakin docked in the hanger, the ships moved to the next sector of Separatist space nearby, But Aarok returned to Coruscant. After he arrived on Coruscant, Aarok returned to his daily activities, including, Archiving the Mission log, Studying Tactics from the enemy side, to better himself, and His troops, and Meditating.

The Zillo Beast
22 BBY

Aarok was at the Battle of Malastare with Mace Windu & Anakin Skywalker, but he was on the ground, while the other two Jedi were up watching the battle, but for a reason. Aarok was chopping down every droid that got near, and saving as many clones as he could, but then the bombers emerged, and Aarok was told to fall back to safety. Aarok obeyed Master Windu and told the clones to fall back, and the clones did so.

The Ion Bomb was dropped, and it worked successfully, but then the ground started caving in on itself, and sucked down many clones, walkers, and other things. Aarok immediatley volunteered to help Mace search for the Clones, and bring them back safely. He searched one part of the hole, while Mace took Ponds, and three troopers, with him.

Next thing Aarok knew, he was on a Gunship getting out of the hole, so he wasnt eaten by a giant monster, known as the Zillo beast. After Mace and Aarok returned to the surface with what clones they had found, and they headed for the place in the building with the HoloTable, to contact The Chancellor, and speak with him about the stuff that transpired.

Aarok left the room while Mace spoke with the others, and Anakin kept the Elders calm. After the dugs executed their idiotic plan, the Zillo Beast made its way up to the surface, so Anakin and Mace used the new stun vehicles, to stun the beast and knock him out, so that they could safely transport the beast to a safe world where it could live out its days in peace. The plan worked, and they loaded the beast onto an Acclamator Ship, but found out that the Chancellor had convince someone high up, to allow the beast to be taken to Coruscant for studying.

After the beast arrived on Coruscant, and The Jedi returned, Aarok didnt participate in the recapture of the beast, but he did keep anyone he could safe, that is how he helped. Soon after the beast escaped, It was dead and The Chancellor had decided that Sinover Boll was to clone the beast...

A Bounty Hunter & an Assassin
22 BBY

Aarok was visited in His quarters by Eeth Koth, and was requested to go with him and one other Council Member to track down a Bounty Hunter, and his Assassin friend. Aarok accepted Eeth's offer and they headed for the Jedi Temple Hangar to get going. "So," Aarok said, "Where are we headed?" "We are on our way the Christophsis System, to track a Bounty Hunter by the name of  'Cad Bane', who was spotted near that system. You, I, and Master Tiin are on our way there now." Eeth replied. "Master Tiin, the Master Tiin?" Aarok asked. "Yes him." Eeth replied, "Ok." Aarok responded.

After the 3 Jedi arrived in the system, they split up and searched for Cad Bane's ship. One of them went to the planet surface, one flew in the lower atmosphere, and one in space, around the planet orbit. After a long time of searching, none of the Jedi found anything. But then, Master Koth got a transmission from a Informant, who located him near the capital. The Jedi headed there immediately, but didnt find anything.

Then the Jedi were ambushed by Bane, and his friend, who turned out to be Asajj Ventress. "So Jedi, you've come to find me have you?" Asajj asked, "Actually," Master Tiin spoke, "We were here for your friend over there." "I see I've attracted the Jedi's attention." Bane said. Aarok and Master Tiin faced Ventress while Master Koth took on Bane. The Jedi subdued Bane, and knocked him out, to take him back to the Coruscant prison, but Ventress escaped, vowing her revenge on the Three, one day to be repaid...

Battle of Kamino

Aarok was with Obi-wan & Anakin when they intercepted the transmission between Grievous and Ventress, and he was prepared to help the Jedi & Clones, defend their home. He Flew with Anakin in the space battle dropping targets left and right, blowing up Frigates, all over. But then Anakin received word from Obi-wan saying, "The Battle in space is only a distraction, they're assembling Assault craft below the Ocean Surface." Anakin ordered Aarok and the pilots to return to the hangar, and make ready for the surface, to defend the facilities.

Aarok helped the clones in the landing bay, while Obi-wan dealt with Grievous, and Anakin dealt with Ventress. Eventually, the Jedi & Clones, pushed the droids back, and the day was won, for the Jedi, but The clone who deserved more than he got, '99' fell that day. Aarok was good friends with 99 for the short while he knew him, and would miss him much. He also congratulated Echo & Fives, for becoming ARC Troopers, and wished them the best of luck, for the future, and told them to defend Kamino with their lives.

Ahsoka Kidnapped by Trandoshans
21 BBY

Aarok was at the Felucia mission, with Anakin, Plo, & Ahsoka, so when he recieved word that Ahsoka was missing, he immediately volunteered to help search for her, because she was one of his closest friends. Aarok was side by side with Captain Rex while searching, and he tried to help locate her, by meditatinf for he life force, but did not sense her on Felucia.

After they decided that Ahsoka was no longer on Felucia, he returned to Coruscant, and Meditated all he could, to try to find out something about her location, with no such luck.

But when Aarok learned that she was safe, and on her way back to Coruscant, with some friends, he eagerly awaited her return. Once Ahsoka arrived back, he was the fourth person to greet her, and gave her a hug as a friend, even though she was all dirty. "Ahsoka, I'm so glad your back safe. So, how was you trip?" Aarok asked sarcastically and then smiled. "It was great!" Ahsoka said playfully back. "How was Felucia after i disappeared?" Ahsoka asked, "Hectic, searching for you for two rotations, with little rest. Anakin was paranoid." Aarok replied. "I'm sure he was." Ahsoka replied. "Well, I'll see you around Tano." Aarok said, "You too, Bactaboy." Ahsoka said playfully. "Great..." Aarok said annoyed, "were back to that nickname." "You betcha." Ahsoka said, laughing. "See you Around Ahsoka." Aarok said, "You too Aarok." Ahsoka responded. They bowed respectfully to each other, and went their separate ways for the day.

Aarok meditated afterwards, and sensed something old, and mysterious on Dantooine, so he decided to go there, immediately...

Ambush over Ord Mantell
21 BBY

Aarok was on his way with Anakin to head to Ord Mantell to resupply the weapons facility there, when all of the sudden, they emerged from Hyperspace to be fired upon by Separatist ships. Immediately one of the Republic Cruisers was destroyed, and the others were being hammered by the enemy Frigates guns, and fighters. Aarok & Anakin disembarked from the hangar, and dealt with the fighters, then they received word that landing craft were attempting to board, so they both flew that way, and eliminated the craft before very many droids got onto the hull, where there were clones who took care of the rest of the droids.

In the End, the republic cruisers got a hyperspace route plotted in the Navi-Computer, and recalled all fighters, so they could escape to a little's ways away from Ord Mantell. Anakin spoke on the comm's "Let's get back to the ship, and let command know the Separatists are lying in wait. Good work on protecting the cruisers boys."

Aarok withdrew from Anakin's fleet and returned to Coruscant for the time being, until King Yos Kolina contacted Plo & Anakin, and asked for their help, in an urgent matter, regarding invasion, and Iceberg Three...

Battle of Iceberg Three
21 BBY

A little while before the Battle of Umbara, Aarok journeyed to Iceburg Three and was given a mission. discover the problems going on, and fix them. Aarok spoke with Commander Wolffe on Coruscant and said, "I am ready to move out." "Very Good General." Aarok and the fleet emerged from hyperspace and began engaging the Separatists. Aarok spoke on the Comms, "Alright boys, were going straight through those frigates, lets blow em' out of the sky!" "Yeah!" said one of the pilots. After Aarok defeated the droids in space, he landed on the planet and spoke to Commander Danz, Plo Koon's Right

Hand Man. "What's up Commander?" "Glad your here General Bactamark!" "Where is master Plo?" "He is on his way General." "Very well commander." just then Plo arrived. "Ahh, Master Plo, its good to see you again!" "And you General Bactamark." "Has Commander Danz briefed you?" "Yes master!" "Very Good!" replied Plo.

After he Landed and spoke with both Danz and Plo, he was tasked with Helping Commander Wolffe defend the transports and give time for them to escape. "You are to help Wolffe  keep the defenses holding until the transports can escape." "Very good Master." Aarok and Wolffe mobilized the troops and prepared the defenses. Grievious Ordered the droids to start marching. Aarok and Wolffe held off the droids, and all the transports escaped in time. They succeeded, and everyone escaped, but not before Grievous landed.

"Jedi! You will Die today and your lightsabers will be mine!" "Not on your life!" He waged an Epic Duel, but Aarok came out on top. Aarok Force pushed him to the ground, giving enough time to escape in his Starfighter. "Grievious growled in dismay and anger, "JEDI!!!!!!!" We will meet again! Your Lightsaber WILL join my collection!!!" "Whatever you say." replied Aarok as he flew off.

He Returned to Coruscant where something unexpected happened. He was granted the Rank of Jedi Master!

Aarok stood in Awe, as he was awarded the rank. "Thank You masters!" "Earned it you have!" replied Master Yoda. "Yes, Master Yoda is right, You have served the Order well, and we could not be more proud of you, Master Bactamark." Aarok left the room, and went out celebrating with Skeeto.

Crafting His 2nd Lightsaber
21 BBY

One day after Meditation, Aarok decided to speak with Master Yoda about crafting a second Lightsaber.

"Master Yoda, May a speak with You about something?" "Yes yes, speak with me, about what, would you like?" "I was wondering how i would go about crafting a second lightsaber." "Where, this idea, come from it did?" "I was meditating and, I felt that I would be a better fighter & Jedi, if I crafted another Saber, and that Jar'Kai form would suit me better." "Very well, craft a 2nd saber you can. Begin your journey you must."

Aarok embarked and headed to Ilum 1st, where he found his 2nd Saber's crystal. He then returned to the temple to craft his Saber. Once he created the lightsaber, and finished crafting it, he ignited the blade and realized it was a Green crystal. He was hoping for another Blue crystal, but he was still content with his new lightsaber.

After he trained in the Jar'Kai form for awhile, he informed Master Yoda that he could return to the war. "Very good, Congrats wish you, I do, Master Bactamark." "Thank you master." "Question for you i have Master Bactamark." "Yes Master Yoda?" "The second saber you had, on Iceberg Three i believe, Where get that did you?" "From Commander Danz, Master. He thought I might need it when dueling Grievous, and I returned it to him, right after the duel." "Ahh, explains it that does, Hmm, Yes. Thanks to you, for telling me." "My Pleasure Master."

Soon after Aarok embarked on His next Mission, what that was, discovered that will be, in time.

-The End of, "Crafting His 2nd Saber."-

Battle of Umbara
21 BBY

Shortly after the battle of Iceberg Three, Aarok was chosen to help in the battle on Umbara. He fought next to Anakin, but was transferred to another Battlezone shortly before Krell arrived. Aarok was tasked with clearing Secret Bunkers throughout the planet, And so he said, "Just give me their locations, and they'll be scrap metal before you know it"! He destroyed all but one, when he recieved a transmission from Captain Rex, asking for help with General Krell.Captain Rex stated, "Sir, could you help us out with a ittle problem?" "How big a problem?" Aarok replied. "Pretty big Sir, it involves General Krell." Aarok was confused by this, but was on his way anyway. Just before Aarok arrived to help deal with Krell, he recieved word that Krell was dead. Aarok spoke up and said, "What did I miss, and what happened here?" Arc Trooper Fives replied, "Sir, General Krell was a traitor, and tricked us all! we lost too many good men today Sir......." Aarok replied, "well... I'm sure you did my friend, and I am sorry for your losses, but we must return to the task at hand!" "Yes Sir!" the clones replied in unison. After the incident, Aarok was ordered to return to the task at hand and destroy the final bunker.



This was when Aarok received Help from Skeeto Transmark for an Ancient Sith Academy, hidden away, but discovered by a Republic Spy. Aarok embarked on the mission with Skeeto and their first words to each other were, "What is this place, and How are we gonna deal with it?". They entered the Academy undetected, and both stated in unison, "That was too easy!" They ran into the first Acolytes right away, but the acolytes new nothing of the strength and combined power of Skeeto & Aarok, and were defeated easily. They began heading in the direction, of the strongest signs of the force, but there were three. They headed for the first one,



and when they got to the training droids, they both said, "Well this shouldn't be too bad." They defeated the droids, but not before getting thrown around alittle. Halfway through the Academy, they ran into a Sith warrior know as, Varad Zagg. "Skeeto spoke up and said, "Now who is this Nit Wit?" Aarok replied, "I don't know, got any idea Master?" "Nope! Nothing." was Skeeto's response. Zagg's first words were, "I wonder how much you would



sacrifice for victory. we shall see." that is when he unleashed the evil spirits of their fellow jedi onto them. They fought them, and defeated them easily, and then they both in unison stated. "Well, That was easy." Zagg spoke, and said, "Very well, I shall destroy you!" he fought them both, but was no match for the 2 jedi. Zagg's dying words were, "No! I have failed my order...." Aarok said. Well, some last words." Skeeto laughed at this. And so they continued their journey. Before they got to the end, they sensed a disturbance in the Force, a Great one. they realized it was none other than Darth Maul and Savage Opress. They entered the room, only to find Maul walking about and talking to himself. Maul's first words to them were. "Jedi, You cannot defeat Me. I have beaten your kind before!" The Jedi engageed Maul, and beat him back so much, that he called in Savage to help, and stated. "This has gone too far. I must regain my strength." Savage appeared in the doorway. and his first words were, "You cannot defeat me!" Aarok spoke, "Oh I don't think so!" Skeeto said, "Do not agrivate Him, and do not get Arrogant my Apprenctice." Aarok replied, "Yes Master, Sorry." Skeeto replied, "It's alright." they fought and waged an Epic duel against the 2, but Aarok and Skeeto came out on top, and Maul and Savage ran away like Cowards. Skeeto & Aarok also found a Sith Holocron, which they returned to Coruscant with to speak with Master Yoda about it. When they returned to the temple, and when they spoke with Master Yoda, He said, "A disturbance there was in the Force, but gone it is now." "Your doing was this?" "Yes Master." the 2 replied in unison. "Good Good, let us put this, holocron, away from the view of any. Stay between this it must. Tell not anyone, the Chancellor especially." "Yes Master." they again replied in unison.

After that, the battle was over, Skeeto and Aarok hung out with each other all the time, went on missions together. and fought together on many Fronts. and they remained good friends for as long as Aarok and Skeeto could remember.

Aarok's new Estate
21 BBY

Just after Aarok had returned from Ilum to craft his saber, and it was complete, the Jedi council rewarded him for his efforts in the past battles he took place in. They gave him a new estate and told him to decorate any way he wanted. He was excited by this very much, and went to his new home immediatley.



Aarok began decorating right away, and already was moved in completely by the end of the day. Aarok was overjoyed with his new home, and was excited for the future. He unfortunatly had to embark on his next mission, the Skirmish on Carlac...

But just before he was making his way to leave, a knock on the door happened. It was none other than his good clone friend Rusher. "How are you doing General?" Rusher asked. "Please Rush, dont address me as General when were by ourselves." "Very well, Rocky!" "Oh really, that nickname again? whatever you say, Rushy!" "Well, Im off to return to duties. just wanted to see how you were doing." "Ok, well thanks for coming, safe travels back!" "Thank You sir." after their conversation, Rusher returned to Security, and Aarok was on his way to Carlac...

Skirmish on Carlac
21 BBY

One day, Aarok was approached in his meditation chambers by Obi-wan, and was told he was headed to Carlac. "Well, at least its a mission." Aarok said after speaking with Kenobi. Aarok was then contacted by Commander Wolffe and asked if he would like to embark on the mission of freeing Carlac from Death Watch control.



After he arrived on the planet, he was told to ignore the separatist frigate, and only



focus on freeing the captive village. "Well, this should be easy. Do i get any backup??" "No, I'm afraid not Sir." "Oh, well that complicates things a little. Oh Well." He embarked on his camo AT-RT and headed directly for the village.

He arrived and spoke with Clone Soldier Mortar, and said he was ready to enter.



He entered the village, and decimated all the death watch soldiers. He arrived at the halfway point, and a figure appeared, it was a deatch watch captian, by the name of Kherr Dawar. Her arrogance was her undoing, and Aarok right away kept going. he arrived at the final staging ground, only to be greeted by 2 of Visla's





Goons. He defeated them both and Visla appeared. After a brief duel, Aarok

defeated Visla and he fled.

"One day soon, Jedi, You will die at the hand of my Darksaber. One day soon!" After that, Aarok returned to his home, and did his normal duties.

Duel on Dathomir
21 BBY

One fine day, Master Yoda asked for Aarok, in the officers club, so Aarok headed there. "Master Yoda, you called for me?" Aarok asked. "Yes, yes, called you i did, go to Dathomir you must, an ancient evil, being released it may be, stop it you must." "Yes master, I'll go now." Aarok responded, then he headed for the hangar and blasted off. He arrived on Dathomir in 1 rotation, and immediately located the source, A woman. He began heading for her, and she instantly started dueling him. She was a fierce opponent, but Aarok was not even phased. He killed her, after fighting for 3 minutes, and she never said a word. Aarok returned to Coruscant, and told Master Yoda, the deed was done...

Skirmish in Space
21 BBY

On another fine day, Aarok was contacted by Commander Jet, and asked to meet in the War Room, so Aarok went there right away. "What is the matter Commander?" "A Super tank was reported in the Hangar of a Cruiser, just before we lost contact with the ship. I was told you could help us out General." "I can, and i will." "Very good Sir, here are the coordinates." "Thank you Commander." Aarok headed for the Hangar and headed off to the cruiser. He arrived a half a rotation, and landed in the opposite hangar. He found the super tank, and began engaging it, on his own. He destroyed the tank with 1 throw of his sabers, and the tank literally dissintegrated, right in front of him, after he hit apparently a vital spot. Aarok returned to Coruscant, and reported to Jet that the tank was gone. After that, Aarok decided he was gonna train with some friends, and so he did...

Training with Council Members & Friends
21 BBY

Aarok always liked dueling with friends, to better himself, and his skills. So, one day, he did just that. He trained with Obi-wan Kenobi, Master Yoda, and his Buddies Zaalbar & Lan.

"So Aarok, come to face me have, Hmm? Face me you shall, see how coming you are, yes." Yoda said. "Very well." Aarok responded. 10 minutes later, Aarok had beat Master Yoda, but he knew Yoda let him win. Why, he did not know.

"So Aarok, you wish to duel me? very well, lets see how your coming along, shall we?" Obi-wan said. "Very well." Aarok responded. 7 minutes later. He had beaten Obi-wan, and he knew he didnt let him win.

"Hey Buddies!" Aarok said excitedly when he ran into his friends Zaal & Lanny. "Heya Dude!" Lanny responded. "Wazzup!?" Zaal asked. "Wanna duel boys?" Aarok asked. "Sure they both replied in unison. "Ok, Zaal first, Lanny second." "Ok." they both said.

"So, you wanna duel. Aye? Well, I bet i can beat you." Stated Zaal. "We shall see." Aarok replied. 8 and a half minutes later, Zaal was beaten and Aarok was excited. "You beat me, fair and square." Zaal said. "Yes i



did, yes i did." Aarok replied. They parted ways for the day, and Aarok got ready for his turn with Lanny.

"So, you think you can beat me? Don't count on it!" Lanny taunted. "Oh yeah? we'll see." Aarok responded. 9 minutes later, Lanny was also beaten, and Aarok laughed at him playfully. "Well well well, You beat me." Lanny said. "That i did my friend, that i did." Aarok replied. They also parted ways for the day, and Aarok prepared for something coming, A trip with a friend, and a race...

Race on an Asteroid
20 BBY

One day, Aarok was by himself, in his home, when he was visited by his friend, 'Eliken Cutlaskin', His Pantoran Jedi friend. "Hey Aarok, you wanna come with me to An Asteroid?" "What?" Aarok asked. "I have entered a race, and i want you to come with." Eliken responded. "Why did you enter a race?" Aarok asked. "I dunno, just cause, now come on, were going right now." "Oh, so i dont have a choice in the matter." no you dont." Eliken responded.

Aarok and Eliken headed for the Asteroid place right away, and got there in a rotation.

Eliken entered the race with his BARC Speeder, and got ready for the start. Aarok took a seat in the bleachers. "Go Eliken!" Aarok shouted. Eliken entered the course, which onyl had 10 racers in it. It was a 1 lap race, and his opponents ranged from, A Trandoshan, 3 humans, 1 Rodian, 3 Twi'leks, and 2 Zabraks. The race started and Eliken and the rest blasted off. 10 minutes later, Eliken had won, and he received the 1st prize, 15,000 Republic credits. Aarok congratulated his friend, and then they returned to Coruscant.

After returning to Coruscant, Aarok meditated in his home, and sensed a familiar planet, where something was built, something evil and Separatist...

Skirmish on Geonosis
20 BBY

One day, when Aarok was meditating, he sensed a new hidden outpost on Geonosis, and he hoped he was wrong about it, but he was not... And so, he had to return to the planet, again...

He landed on Geonosis undetected, and found the secret outpost. He scaled a rock wall, and found out, that on the other side, the base was hidden. He called in the Y-wing squadron, and told them to blow the base sky high. "Yellow Leader, come in." "Yes General?" "I've got the coordinates, blow the base to pieces." "Yes Sir!" Aarok ended the comm transmission, and watched the fireworks.



Aarok returned to Coruscant, and resumed his daily activities, and prepared for the next battle...

Finding Love, then losing it
20 BBY

Aarok was sent on a mission, with a fellow Female Jedi by the name of 'Talia Adams', and he later became great friends with her. After their frienship had developed for a few years, Aarok felt that he thought of her as more than a friend, and She kind of did too, but they both knew it was against The Jedi Code, to marry.

They both considered leaving the order, and living lives on a distant planet, away from the war, but just before they were going to decide on whether or not they were going to do it, Talia was sent on a mission to Rhen Var, but she never returned from that battle there... And Aarok was devistated by it, knowing he would possibly never see her again, at least not until after death...

Duel on Dantooine
20 BBY

Aarok was meditating one morning, when he sensed something on Dantooine. He asked for permission by the Counsel to go, and they granted him permission. He embarked to Dantooine, and got there in a Rotation and a half. when he landed, all he saw was a Wartorn temple, that had been around for a while. He headed towards it, and got to the roof of the building, only to find Grievious. "Haha Jedi! Face Me!" "As you wish was Aarok's response. They dueled, and Aarok won. Grievious ran away, and Dantooine, was peaceful once again. "GRAH!!!!! I will have MY REVENGE JEDI!!!!" Grievious yelled angrily. "Whatever you say Wheasy." Aarok responded tauntfully. Aarok returned to Coruscant, and returned to normal life, not knowing what was to come, A disturbance on ryloth...

Confusion on Ryloth
20 BBY

Aarok was meditating one day in his home, when he sensed a jedi, on Ryloth. he was confused by this because Ryloth was under republic control, but no Jedi were stationed there. He embarked to Ryloth immediately, with the counsel's

permission, and got there in 2 rotations. he landed near where he sensed the Jedi, and exited his ship, moving on foot towards the spot. he got there, and found a Mysterious Jedi, meditating. he was wearing old, very old gear, from the days of the Old Republic, and all he said was, "Hello." then he vanished, like a ghost. Aarok was like, "What?..." He returned to his ship, and returned to Coruscant. Master Yoda was in the hangar when he returned, "Master Bactamark, The Jedi you sensed, what turned out to be, was it?" "It was a Jedi wearing gear, from the days of the Old Republic, he said one word to me, then disappeared." Aarok replied. "That word, what it was?" Yoda asked. "Hello." Aarok replied. "Hmm, confusing that is, most confusing." "Thats what i said too." Aarok replied. "Well, return to your activities you can." "Thank You Master." Aarok responded. After that, he continued his daily chores, and never saw that Jedi again...

Research on Ryloth
20 BBY

After Aarok had met the Mysterious Jedi on Ryloth, he had to return there two weeks after he had left. Aarok was on his was to Ryloth again, but this time on a mission with Zaalbar.

"Aarok," Master Yoda said when he entered his quarters, "Yes Master?" Aarok asked, "You must go to Ryloth with Zaalbar." Yoda replied. "Ok, why master?" Aarok asked, "You must go, then you will learn everything when you land." Yoda said, "Very well." Aarok replied.

He headed off for Zaal's quarters, and when he entered, Zaal was already ready to go. "So." Zaal said, "Yes?" Aarok asked, "Where we headed?" Zaal asked, "To Ryloth." Aarok replied. "My Home?" Zaal asked, "I'm not sure Zaal, we'll know when we arrive there." Aarok replied.

They entered the hangar and prepared for take-off, and docked with their hyperspace rings, and entered hyperspace. They arrived in a few hours, and landed near where they were told to. They exited their fighters to be greeted by a fellow Jedi. "Hey Guys!" Lan said, "Lan?" Aarok asked excitedly, "Zaal, you know Lan, right?" Aarok asked, "Yes, Hi Lanny!" Zaal replied, "Hi Bud!" Lan said.

"So Lanny, why are Zaal & I here?" Aarok asked, "Oh, that. follow me and I'll explain." Lanny said. They began walking towards a downed Gunship, two ARC Troopers and an ARF Trooper.

They got to the wreck of the Gunship, and Lan spoke up. "This is why you're here," he said pointing to the gunship. "Ok." Aarok said, "You two are here to scan the wreckage and determine what happened here." Lan replied. "Ok, But why us?" Aarok asked, "I don't know for sure buddy." Lanny replied. "Well Thanks." Aarok said.

Lan & the three troops walked off and Zaal & Aarok began investigating. "So Zaal, what do you think happened here?" Aarok asked, "I don't know Master Aarok." Zaal said.

They searched around for a good hour, and finally determined the reason they were there, and what went wrong with the Gunship. "Lan." Aarok said over his comm, "Yes?" Lan asked, "Come quick, we determined the problem and the reason were here." Aarok said, "Ok." Lan said, "I'm on my way." Aarok ended the transmission, and he and Zaal waited for lanny to get there.

"So whats up?" Lanny asked, "This is gonna take a while to explain, so get situated." Aarok said, "Ok." Lanny & Zaal both said. "The reason were here is because there was this in the Gunship." Aarok said, holding a Jedi Holocron in his hand. "Yoda apparantely wanted me & Zaal to retrieve it. The Gunship malfunctioned because the fuel line came unattached, and it got into the rocket loader, and kept getting worse from there." Aarok finished.

They finished speaking, and Aarok & Zaal's mission was complete, and they thanked Lanny for his time. The three chatted for some time, and their friendship continued to grow more & more.



Zaal & Aarok returned to Coruscant and reported everything to Yoda, & gave him the Holocron personally to return to the Archives. Once it was all said and done, Zaal & Aarok left Yoda's quarters and headed separate ways for the day.

The mission was a success overall, and Zaal was happy to go on a mission with Aarok, and they're friendship grew more and more...

Jedi Temple Bombing
20 BBY

While Anakin & Ahsoka were on their mission, away from Coruscant, Aarok was at the Jedi Temple, when the bomb went off..

He was not in the Hangar when it blew, but he was near, so the shockwave, came through the wall, almost knocking Aarok out a window. He immediately ran to the Hangar, to see what was wrong, only to find it in shambles and ruins.

He saw what was left of the Bodies of the Six Jedi Knights, and fell to the ground. along with their deaths, many civilian workers and clones were killed as well.

Aarok wanted to find out who did this, but he knew there wasnt much he could do, so when the Funeral for the Jedi came around, he attended, along with many other Jedi, Senators, and Republic Officials.

-Funeral

"One with the Force, they are, and our job it is to remember that we will, in time, also pass on. Luminous beings are we, but temporary vessels, our bodies are. And we shall all find ourselves here, in time. A moment of silence, I ask—to remember, and to move on."

Yoda gave a short Eulogy, and asked that we remember the fallen Jedi, and embrace that they were with the Force now. After the Funeral, Anakin & Ahsoka were the ones who were to investigate, because they weren't there, so they weren't suspects. Aarok was one of the first Jedi to be interviewed, but Ahsoka and Anakin knew he didn't do it.

Afterwards, He asked if he could help them with the investigation, and they politely agreed. He helped the two to figure out that one of the workers might have been responsible, and when they found his wife, they took her capture.

After Ahsoka began interogating her, Aarok was outside waiting for her to be done, when the tragic accident happened.

Aarok knew Ahsoka couldn't have killed that lady, and he and Anakin beleived her. After it was all said and done, and the Jedi and Republic discovered that Barriss Offee, was the culprit.

They were disheartened by this, and knew that something was wrong with Barriss, but whatever it was, was figured out later, and Barriss returned to the Order, only to die during Order 66 on Felucia, protecting Padawans.

After Barriss was arrested, Ahsoka was granted to return to the Order, and the High-Council asked her apology, and she forgave them for any mistrust, but she said she couldn't stay...

-Ahsoka Leaves

After Aarok and the Jedi found out that Ahsoka didn't want to stay, they were saddened, especially Aarok & Anakin. Anakin tried to convince her to stay, but failed. and so Ahsoka left, but not before Aarok said goodbye. "Ahsoka wait!" Aarok said. "I'm sorry Aarok, but you know I cant stay, it's just not the same anymore. The Council didn't trust me." Ahsoka replied. "I'll see you around then my friend..." Aarok responded sadly. "You can count on it Aarok. this wont be the last time we see each other, I guarantee it." Ahsoka replied.

The Two gave a heartfelt and sad goodbye, and Ahsoka left the order, never to return... They bowed respectfully to each other before she left, and ended with the same classic words, "May The Force be with You."...

Clearing His Mind
19.5 BBY

After Ahsoka left, Aarok almost couldn't handle being a Jedi, without one of his best friends. But he simply would meditate to take his mind off of things, or hang out with many various friends, Lan Phaseripper, Zaalbar Tokocharger, his clone friend, Trooper Rusher, and Skeeto Transmark.

He missed Ahsoka dearly, and he needed to take his mind off of her, so he went for a visit to His Parents home, to see them. It never took long to get to his parent's home, considering they lived on Coruscant, but Aarok was always so busy, that he hardly ever visited them.

"Mom? Dad?" Aarok said. "Ahh Son, its great to see you!" Aarok's dad said, "You Too Dad!" Aarok replied. "Where's Mom?" Aarok asked, "Ohh, She's gardening." His dad replied. "Ok," Aarok said, "I'll be right back, gonna suprise her." "Ok Son." His dad replied.

Aarok snuck up on his mom, thanks to his Jedi Training. "Guess who it is." Aarok said. "Sweetheart, is it really you?" His mom replied. "Mom!" Aarok said happily. "Oh Aarok, You've grown so much!" his mom said. "You never visit either." "I'm sorry mom, its the Order and the Clone Wars." Aarok replied. "It's ok Honey, I'm just glad to see you!" "Me Too Mom." Aarok replied.

Aarok and his parents visited for along time, and had happy talks, and sad ones. Aarok said Goodbye to His Parents, and they said "Goodbye Son, we Love you." "I love you too Mom & Dad." Aarok replied.

Aarok was intent on going back there, But soon after he visited his parents, The Battle of Coruscant took place, and Order 66, so Aarok never saw his parents after that. and they died a few years after the Empire was born.

They died of Old Age, and sadness, because they thought their son was dead. Aarok missed them sorely, because he knew when they died, he sensed it. He missed them so much, but he would see them again one day too...

The Outer Rim Sieges begun
19 BBY

Aarok wasnt at hardly any of the Outer Rim Sieges, but he did stay apprised of everything that happened during the various battles. Aarok however did fight at the Battle of Belderone...

-The Battle of Belderone
During the Battle of Belderone, Aarok flew in his Eta-2 Interceptor alongside Anakin & the Clone pilots, while they engaged in a fierce space battle over the planet. The Republic gained this information via Nute Gunray's mechno-chair, which was captured by the Republic.

Grievous' Fleet emerged from hyperspace, only to be attacked by 60+ Republic Star Destroyers, and the Jedi knew this battle was in their favor. Grievous would have stayed and fought, but because he had the Separatist Council with him, he knew he had to retreat. So, he decided to use the Invisible Hand to attack and destroy a refugee convoy, killing thousands, and baffling the Republic, giving Grievous & his forces, time to escape.

After the battle, Aarok returned to Coruscant, while Anakin & Obi-wan returned to the Sieges, moving to other fronts, and assisting any Jedi they could along the way.

Aarok remained on Coruscant, until when in deep meditation, he decided he needed to head to Hypori, for reasons unknown. And after Hypori, he would remain on Coruscant, until the time of The Battle of Coruscant & The Great Jedi Purge, begun...

End of, "The Outer Rim Sieges begun", & "The Battle of Belderone."-

A fight with many
19 BBY

Aarok was in his home, when he sensed he needed to go to a planet, named Hypori, but Aarok decided not to go yet. He asked the council's permission, and they granted, so he headed off. but before he got within a parsecs distance, he picked up a distress call. He responded to the call, but no one replied back, so he decided to locate the source, and track it down.

He located the source, and headed in that direction, only to find out it was a ship that resembled an old republic ship, but had separatist markings on it. Aarok already knew that if he entered the ship, it would be against his better judgement, but he did it anyways.

He landed at the emergency hangar, just a small thing, with no droids, that detected anything landing. He made his way to the bridge, only to hear voices. "Grievous, is the ship working yet?" Dooku asked, disappointedly, "No, my lord, but it will be soon." Grievous replied. "Very well, did the distress signal draw anyone's attention?" Dooku asked, "No my Lord, nothing as of yet." Aarok hopped up into the vent to better hear the voices, and to escape the patrols guarding the bridge, and made his way to just above the bridge, and all of the sudden he was pulled down to the ground. Dooku had caught onto him, and brought him down to their level. "So, young Jedi, why are you here?" Dooku asked interrogatively, "I was following the distress signal I received. Then I came upon you guys." Aarok replied. "My Lord, I say wer should kill him, then send a holo message to the Jedi, letting them know one of their precious warriors is dead." Grievous suggested. "No Grievous, I want you to face him." Dooku replied. "My Lord?" Grievous asked. "Do as I say, destroy him, then we can send a message to the Jedi." Dooku said. "Very Good my lord, prepare to Die Jedi Filth!" Grievous said angrily and tauntfully. "I will do what I must, to survive." Aarok replied. "We Shall See Jedi." Dooku said, from his spot of watching.

Aarok and Grievous began engaging, and Aarok thought he may get the upper hand, but just then Grievous knocked him into a wall, then threw him across the room. So Aarok returned the favor in kind, by force pushing Grievous right through 3 doors in a row, knocking him out temporarily, so Aarok pursued through the halls following his trail to Dooku.

Aarok entered the room where Dooku supposedly was, but he wasnt there. but then a door opened, and there he was. Dooku charged at Aarok but he dodged it semi-easy. Aarok sliced back, but totally missed Dooku, and Dooku took this opportunity to use Force Lightning on Aarok, subduing him, and causing intense pain to Aarok. Aarok fell over and fainted.

Aarok awoke, contained in the Electro-prison cage. He was subdued to great torture, until Grievous entered the room, told the Torture Droids to leave, and told Aarok, he had permission to kill him.

Aarok, was amazed that Grievous was allowed to kill him, he figured Grievous wouldnt ask, he would just do. "So, your going to kill me then. Well make it quick." Aarok said, "Oh I intend to Jedi, I'm going to Gut You!!" Grievous said in a raised tone.

Grievous decided he was going to stab Aarok right below the heart, and let his body do the rest, in space. Aarok knew his death was iminent, so he asked for one thing. That his Lightsabers be jettisoned with him, so Grievous agreed, suprisingly.

The General immediately, without delay, pierced one of his Lightsabers into Aarok's chest, just below his heart. Aarok felt a surge of pain, and immediately, saw a vision, that he was alive, of old age, and died on Felucia, but he didnt know how he survived, when he knew he was surely dead. Aarok immediately fell into a deep colma, but appeared dead, so they jettisoned the body.

Aarok's body and his Lightsabers were floating adrift in space, for about 3 minutes, before a ship appeared, a Republic Medical Frigate, on its way to the nearest Medical base.

Aarok awoke in the Med base, and found that master Yoda, Obi-wan, Anakin, and his master Cin Drallig were there. "Masters, what happened? how am I not dead?" Aarok asked. "Dead you almost were, for 3 minutes of the life of yours. saved you a passing medical frigate did." Yoda replied. "You were lucky to survive a blow like that." Anakin said, "Yes my former Apprentice, Anakin is right, but thankfully, the Lightsaber didnt pierce any vital organs." Master Drallig said. "Yes, when you were launched into space, the cold air of dead space, preserved your body, and the colma you entered, preserved your brain." Obi-wan said. "So, did Dooku & Grievous escape?" Aarok asked. "I'm afraid so Padawan." Cin said. "Sorry Aarok, but we'll get em' back." Anakin said, "No Anakin, there wouldnt be a point to hold a grudge, but thank you."

Aarok and the Jedi, visited for a little while longer, then Aarok was told to return to Coruscant to continue healing. Aarok never forgot the vision he saw, but he never understood it either, until he experienced it.

Soon after, Aarok healed completely, and was ready to return to the War, but he was called to The Temple Spire, immediately. The Council had an urgent matter to speak with Aarok about, but he didnt know what it was...

End of, "A fight with many."-

Receiving His own Cruiser
19 BBY

Aarok was asked by the council to report to the Spire immediately. He went as quickly as he could, and entered the room. "Master Bactamark, a gift for you we have." said Master Yoda. "A gift?" Aarok was perplexed. "For you efforts in the constant struggle, and your bravery, and service to the order, we are granting you, your very own Flagship." "Thank You Masters!" Aarok replied. "Earned this have you as well. Look forward to the future we do. with you, your own cruiser having, Safer we all feel, yes." Yoda said. "May the Force be with You Aarok." Master Windu responded. "And You Masters, thank you again." Aarok left the room, and immediately, headed for the place where he would enter his new Flagship.

After Aarok got into his Cruiser, he 1st decided it's name, The Peacemaker. after that, he had all the clones under his command, make sure everything was in order, and it was. He was headed for a routine hyperspace test, among other things, when possibly 100s of Separatist Frigates, Cruisers and Ships, appeared over Coruscant...

End of, "Receiving His own Cruiser."-

Battle of Coruscant
19 BBY

Aarok was just about to engage the Hyperdrive, to make a routine jump, and test it out, when The Separatist ships appeared. Aarok's Ship, along with the other Cruisers, began enaging all the ships, but were not for sure, if they could hold them or not. They received word that Chancellor Palpatine had been taken, and that Anakin & Obi-wan were returning from the Outer Rim, to rescue him, also bringing support for the fleet. 15 minutes into the battle, Aarok's ship was hit in the engine, and the core was overheating. He ordered all of the crew to evacuate, and move other cruisers. He himself left his ship 10 minutes later, and just escaped in his fighter, when his ship both Imploded a little 1st, then right after, Exploded, into a huge fireball. His ship was destroyed, and he was taking on the Vulture's and other fighters, only with the help of the remaining pilots, still around, who had not all already been shot down.

Just then, the reinforcements arrived, and the battle was turned in their favor. Aarok landed in the nearest Republic Cruisers hangar, cause his fighter was toast, so he remained on the cruiser he landed on, for the rest of the battle. 20 minutes later, Grievous had escaped, The Chancellor was saved, and Coruscant was safe... For now...

Aarok remained on Coruscant for the rest of the time until Operation Knightfall.. He did not help out with Utapau, Kashyyyk, or any other fronts. he remained on Coruscant, and Meditated daily, but did not sense, what was to come...

End of, "Battle of Coruscant."-

Order 66, and the Temple Purge
19 BBY

One day, as Aarok was in the Temple, he assumed it was like any other day, but it wasnt... He did his daily duties right away, and Meditated for a longer while, but sensed nothing. A few hours later, 3 clones appeared in his door, "Yes Boys, something wrong?" "Ahh, No Sir." "Very well." Aarok replied. Next thing he knew, all 3 clones were in half on the floor, and he was grazed in the shoulder. Chaos broke out everywhere, He sensed many brothers and sisters falling... too many... he also sensed a dark presence, one of Familiarity. He began sneaking around, hacking down 1 or 2 clones here and there. but it was when he found Master Drallig dead, that he fell to the ground. The dark figure appeared in the doorway, hood up. Aarok began dueling him right away. Aarok was a strong duelist, but even he thought, 'I'm gonna join my master soon...'



The 2 dueled for what seemed like minutes, countering every move, until the Figure, who revealed himself as someone called, 'Vader' used the force to grab a fallen Jedi's Lightsaber, and attempt to cut off Aarok's hands, then strike him down. Fortunately for Aarok, he off centered Vader's strike, and caused him to swing incorrectly, thereby cutting off the tops of both of Aarok's Sabers. Aarok then used the force, to push Vader into the wall, and ran for the hangar, as fast as he could. The figure yelled, "We'll meet again Jedi!" and by the tone Vader had, Aarok knew, who the figure was.... Anakin Skywalker, Why? no idea. He then returned to his senses, and hopped in his starfighter, headed for the upper atmosphere, and attached to a hyperspace ring. He blasted off for Felucia, never to look back, for many years... and he thought to himself, "Why would Anakin do this??"

After he landed on Felucia, he found a secluded place, built a small homestead, and remained there for the rest of his days... or at least until.. The Rebellion...

-End of, "Order 66, and the Temple Purge."-

Arrival on Felucia
19 BBY

Shortly after Aarok fled from Coruscant, he arrived on Felucia, built his home, and remained there until Luke Skywalker came to visit him in the near future.He had a speeder he acquired before finally heading to felucia, which he got at a spaceport, and attached to his starfighter. Aarok also got a new outfit at the

spaceport, for 2 reasons. 1, Disguise, and 2, His robes were torn, gloves were cracking, and boots tearing and ripping. He parked the speeder behind his house, and began a round of Deep Meditation.



He contacted Master Yoda through Meditation, and spoke with him, found out that Obi-wan was alright, Padme gave birth safely, and that the Jedi were in no position, to take on the newly formed Empire. "Very well." were Aarok's lasts words to Master Yoda. After that, He stayed on Felucia until a little after the Battle of Yavin, when Luke came and asked for his help...

A visit to Kashyyyk, & and Old Friend
18.5 BBY

Just a half-year after he landed on Felucia, he decided to go to Kashyyyk, and visit someone whom Aarok knew had not perished during Order 66, 'Quinlan Vos'. Aarok began his journey, but the only thing he was weary of, was the fact that he didn't have a Lightsaber or two with him, due to the fact that Darth Vader had destroyed his sabers during the Temple Purge, when Aarok had faced him, alone.

Aarok arrived on Kashyyyk in a rotation, and made his way to Vos' location, by using the Force to sense him. He found Vos, hiding away meditating, while his Wife & Son were nearby. "So, you have a Wife and Son now?" Aarok asked. "Well well well, if it isnt, one of the only Jedi who could beat me in dueling, once in a while." Vos replied. "How have you been Quin?" Aarok asked. "Doing well my friend," Quinlan replied, "How are You?" he asked. "Alone," Aarok replied, "I've been on Felucia in Exile, for a half-year now." "I see," Vos responded, "Well I've been here, Nar Shaddaa, and a few other places since Order 66." Quinlan said. "Interesting, so how is your wife doing?" Aarok asked. "Well." Quin replied. "Good, I'm glad," Aarok responded, "Your son?" Aarok asked. "Also well." Quin replied. "Good." Aarok responded.

After a little more talking between the two, reminiscing about past events, and catching up with each other, Vos reintroduced Aarok to his wife, Khaleen Hentz-Vos, and introduced him to his Vos' son, Korto Vos. Afterwards, when Aarok and the Vos family were done catching up, Aarok said he must be going on, and the family all said "Goodbye".

Aarok returned to Felucia to live out his days, or so he thought. After he landed safely on Felucia, he never knew what became of the family after the Galactic Civil War had ended, but he hoped they lived happily, and safely. Soon after Aarok was on Felucia for a time, he received a package at his doorstep, but he began fearing what it was, a bomb, or something important. The thing he knew that he didn't know, was who knew his were his home was, and how to get something there...

A Gift, from an old friend
18 BBY



One day on Felucia, Aarok received a package on his doorstep. He was confused by this, and wondered who knew where he lived, and how to get a package there. He opened the package to find a note.

"Dear Aarok," He read, "I hope these Lightsabers have come to you safely. I saw on the day of the Temple Purge, that your lightsabers were both destroyed in a duel against the sith, now known as 'Darth Vader'. These lightsabers were wielded by 2 different padawans who escaped with me, but unfortunately, they both were killed. I figured you could now use them instead, and I hope that they help you in the fight against the Empire.      Sincerely, Shaak Ti."

Aarok ignited both blades, to reveal that one had a Blue crystal, and the shorter Hilt, which resembled Master Yoda's Lightsaber hilt, had a rare Teal glow to it. Aarok was enthralled by such a color, as it was a more rare color, like Master Windu's Violet color. Still, Aarok safeguarded the Lightsabers and trained with them, to better himself, for the coming days, For he knew that he would fight in the war with the rebels, even if he didnt want too. But for now, he decided to pay a visit, to his home, during the Clone Wars, in the near future, but first, a visitor to his home appeared...

End of, "A Gift from an Old Friend."-

A Visitor to His Home
17 BBY

Aarok was behind his home working on his speeder he had acquired a couple of years ago, and was making sure it was working fine, and it was.

He was just walking into his doorway, when he sensed someone from his past, someone almost forgotten, his old friend, Ahsoka Tano...

"Ahsoka?" Aarok exclaimed, "Is it You? I must be having a vision!" Aarok assumed she was a hallucination, and that he was only talking to himself, because she was silent for a moment or so. "No Aarok, your not crazy, its me." Ahsoka finally replied. "Where did you go after you left?" Aarok asked. "I mean, the Temple Purge...Order 66... where were you during all of that? he asked again. "I was finding myself." She simply replied.

After Aarok exited his shocked state, he invited her in, and they talked and visited for a while, learning of where she had been during everything that took place, and also learning how she had found him. They meditated together for a while, and he learned that she hadn't given up the ways of the Jedi completely.

After an extensive talk, more & more questions, and more visiting, Ahsoka said she had to be going, but she also told him that she was right, "That it wasnt the last time she would see him", and vice-versa, because those were the words Ahsoka uttered when she left the Temple on that fateful day.

They bowed respectively, and ended with new words, and old, "Stay Safe, & May the Force be with You."

Ahsoka left, and Aarok never knew what became of her after that, or where she had gone, but he did learn some things, and he was grateful to see her again, very grateful...

Meeting the spirit of Satele Shan
16.9 BBY

Aarok was meditating, when he heard a voice in his head. It spoke saying, "Aarok, I know who you are, and you must come to meet me." "But how?" Aarok replied, "The Force will guide you." the spirit replied, "Very well." Aarok responded unsure of what was happening.

He began his mystical journey, and came to the place near where Anakin, Ahsoka & Obi-wan had gone, called Mortis. he arrived at the coordinates he had received, but there was nothing there.

Then all of the sudden, his ship was pulled into a bright light, and he fainted.

He awoke, and it was day outside. He had assumed that he was in Mortis, but he didn't know how. He exited the ship, and made his way to what was left of the mysterious Temple there. When he entered, he saw the force spirit of Satele Shan. He immediately bowed, but she told him, "No need to bow, we are both Jedi, and of equal rank." "I'm not the Grand Master." Aarok replied. "No, but you are a Master, & I am a Master, we are one in the same." Satele responded.

Aarok was unsure of why he was here, but Satele spoke with him, and they convened for a long while. He never really learned why he was there, but he was grateful to meet such a highly esteemed member of the Jedi Order.

After He and Satele finished speaking, she said, "I must be finishing my journey now, I will be one with the Force now." "Very well," Aarok replied, "May the Force be with You Master Shan." Aarok finished. "And You, Master Bactamark." Satele responded. She faded away, and returned to the Force nether-realm, and Aarok awoke in his Eta-2, right outside where he was pulled into the light.

He returned to Felucia and stayed there for a couple of months, until he decided a visit to his old home was in order...

End of, Meeting the Spirit of Satele Shan."-

Return to His Home
16.5 BBY

Aarok decided to visit His old home on Coruscant, for the memories. He knew it would be risky, but he wanted to see his home, one more time. He journeyed to Coruscant, and landed on his Rooftop Landing Pad.

He entered his home, and turned on the lights, seeing that nothing had changed. He was perplexed by this, considering the fact that since he was a Jedi, he would have thought the Empire, would have done something to his home.

He stayed in his home for a while, until he decided he had seen enough, and was ready to return to Felucia. He returned to Felucia, until when in meditation, he sensed that he must go to Dagobah, and visit with Master Yoda...

End of, "Return to His Home."-

Journey to Dagobah
15 BBY

Aarok was meditating on the roof of his home, when he sensed Master Yoda calling him to Dagobah, but Aarok didn't know why. He went anyways, and landed on Dagobah the next rotation.

"Aarok, Good to see you it is!" Yoda said, not aware that Aarok didnt see him at first. "Ahh, Master Yoda, you startled me a bit, It's great to see you again as well! Why did you summon me to Dagobah?" Aarok asked, "Summon you I did, to tell you that you must go to Tatooine, not tomorrow, or this cycle, but soon." Yoda replied. "Ok..." Aarok responded. "Meet with Obi-wan you shall, soon." Yoda said.

Aarok & Yoda conveined for a while, Meditated together, and Aarok learned he wasnt supposed to visit Obi-wan, for at least a year. Why? he didnt learn that. Aarok bowed to Yoda respectfully, and made his way back to his fighter, and returned to Felucia, unsure of what was coming, but being ready for it, always...

End of, "Journey to Dagobah."-

Travel to Tatooine
14 BBY

One Year after Aarok had journeyed to Dagobah and met with Master Yoda, he knew now was the time to travel to Tatooine, and see Obi-wan Kenobi, and so Aarok headed there right away. He arrived in two rotations, and landed near where he beleived Obi-wan's home was, He found Obi-wan wandering about, and his first words were, "So, the Negotiator has become the Nomad?" "Very funny Aarok. It's good to see you again." Obi-wan replied. "And you, my old friend. I learned that Anakin was Darth Vader..." Aarok said. "I know, I learned that the day of the Temple Purge." Obi-wan replied. "As did I." Aarok responded. "So, what brings you here Aarok?" Obi-wan asked. "Yoda, actually. I went to Dagobah a year ago, and met with him, and he told me I was supposed to meet you, sometime soon, but he didn't say when, a year obviously." Aarok replied. "I see." Obi-wan responded.

Obi-wan & Aarok visited for a while, and talked about things that went on in their lives, that the other missed, and spoke about many different things as well. Aarok told Obi-wan it was time for Him to return to Felucia and stay there, possibly never to leave again. They gave each other a final and respectful bow, and ended their talk, like any other, with 6 words, "May the Force be with You."

After Aarok left Tatooine, he returned to Felucia, and remained there until, 10 BBY, when he decided to find and attempt to bring an end to Darth Vader...

End of, "Travel to Tatooine."-

Duel with a Dark Lord
10 BBY

From the time of 14-10 BBY, Aarok stayed on Felucia, until he decided it was time to put an end to Vader. Aarok headed for Coruscant, and landed at a less used landing zone, not usually patrolled by the Empire.

Aarok found out that Vader was at the Jedi Temple, so he headed there, intent on putting an end, to the very person that attempted to end the Jedi there. "It's only fitting that Vader die where he killed all the Jedi." Aarok said to himself.

Aarok decided to jusy walk up to the Stormtrooper guards, so he did. "Hault, this area is restricted. State your name and affiliation." one of the Stormtroopers said. "I am a Jedi, and I'm here to kil Vader." Aarok replied. The Stormtroopers immediately arrested Aarok, and took him before Vader. "So Jedi, we meet again at last." Vader said proudly.

Aarok grabbed his Sabers out from his hidden pockets on his belt, and began dueling Vader. They fought for a long time, until Aarok managed to cut off Vader's right hand. "Ahh!" Vader screamed in pain. Vader choked Aarok and then threw him through 2 walls and a door.

Vader called for a squad of Stormtroopers, and they arrived at the balcony of the archives. "Now Jedi, you die, 9 years after your master." Vader ordered the troops to fire, but just before they were going to pull the trigger, Aarok Pushed the squad off the Balcony, and sending them to the lower floor. He also Pushed Vader across to the other side of the balcony.

Aarok entered the vents near there, and headed for the the secret landing pad. "NO!!!" Vader screamed as Aarok got away. Aarok got to the landing pad, and entered his Starfighter, just as Vader and two Stormtroopers arrived there. "We will meet again Jedi! and then you will die." Vader said in a raised tone.

Aarok left Coruscant, and returned to Felucia into Exile, beaten, broken, and wiser afterwards. He remained there for a few years, until he headed to Mos Eisley to deal with a Bounty put on him by Jabba...

End of, "Duel with a Dark Lord."-

Tatooine Bounty
5 BBY

For Five years, Aarok stayed on Felucia, after his failed attempt to end Vader, until he discovered in meditation, that a Bounty was put on his head, by Jabbe himself.

Aarok journeyed to Tatooine, and landed near Jabba's Palace, then entered the main room, where Jabba was, and spoke with Bib Fortuna. Aarok asked to meet with Jabba privately. He was granted permission, and the meeting took place in 10 minutes.

"Mighty Jabba," Aarok said, "Why have you placed this bounty on me?" Jabba spoke in Huttese and his Protocol Droid translated. "The Mighty Jabba placed a Bounty on your head, by order of Grand Moff Tarkin & Darth Vader." "Why?" Aarok asked. Jabba again spoke, and the droid translated. "Because, Mighty Jabba didn't want to be on the bad side of the Empire. There are Sandtroopers on their way here as we speak. The Bounty has been called off, but the Sandtroopers will come for you." "Thank You Mighty Jabba." Aarok replied. He then left Jabba's Palace and returned to his Starfighter, landed near Ben's home, but the Sandtroopers were closing in on him.

Aarok decided to fake his death, so he quote-on-quote "borrowed" a ship from Mos Eisley, and used it to fake his death, with success. Aarok returned to Felucia after successfully faking his death on Tatooine.

He remained on Felucia for Two years, until he decided to visit Alderaan, to see an Old Friend, and catch up...

End of, Tatooine Bounty."-

Journey to Alderaan
3.5 BBY

Aarok journeyed to Alderaan to meet with Ferus Olin, and speak with him, about different matters. He hopped into his good old Eta-2 and headed for Alderaan. He arrived in 3 rotations, and immediately found Ferus at his place of residing on Alderaan, near the palace where Leia was, whom Ferus was tasked to protect.

"Well, well well, what have we here? An old Jedi who doesnt look too good." Aarok said. "I think you mean yourself my friend." Ferus replied jokingly. "Hey!" Aarok said, "Its been too long!" "I know!" Ferus replied, "It really has. So how has Felucia been for you?" Ferus asked, "How'd you know about that?" Aarok replied questioningly. "Obi-wan told me." Ferus replied. "Ohhh.... I get it, I get it!" Ferus simply smiled & Aarok smiled back. "So," Ferus said, "Why are you here?" "Oh, I just came to check up on you, see how your doing. that sort of stuff." Aarok replied. "Ok." Ferus responded. "Well, I'm off to return to Felucia, there is nothing really for me anywhere." "I understand." Ferus replied. "But," Ferus said, "You do know you have me & Obi-wan, right?" "Yes, I know." Aarok replied. "Ok, just making sure." Ferus responded.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, gave each other a heartfelt farewell, and bow, and ended by saying, "May The Force be with You." Aarok returned to Felucia and waited out his days, until he would encounter a Secret Apprentice...

End of, "Journey to Alderaan."-

Starkiller Encounter
3 BBY

Aarok was on his home on Felucia when he sensed that Vader had done something horrible, he had taken a poor young boy, who could have been a Jedi, and turned him into His personal slave.

Aarok knew that Vader was using The Apprentice as a weapon to eliminate the Jedi, and he didnt know if he was on the list, but he assumed he was. and he was right.

The day after he sensed these things, Starkiller appeared on Felucia, to 1st get rid of Shaak Ti, then get rid of Aarok.

Aarok never made it to where Shaak Ti had lured Starkiller to, to help her in facing him, but later he learned, she didnt die when she went into the pit, but everybody beleived she did.

Aarok ran into Starkiller out of the blue, and he began dueling Aarok, and was almost overpowering Aarok, but Aarok managed to fend him off, long enough to escape into his Fighter, hidden away at his homestead, and fled Felucia, but only went to a nearby planet, until the Apprentice left Felucia to deal with other matters, So Aarok returned to his home, and remained in Exile there, for the time being...

The Force Ghost, of an Old Friend
0 BBY/0 ABY

While Aarok was still in Exile, before he joined the Rebel Alliance, he was visited by another Force Ghost. Who was also that of an old friend.

He was meditating alone, as he always did, when the spirit appeared. "Aarok," the spirit spoke, "Aarok?" the spirit asked, "Who are you?" Aarok asked. "It is I, Qui-Gon Jinn." The Spirit replied. "Qui-Gon?? Is it really You??" Aarok responded, "Yes." Qui-Gon replied. "Bu..Bu..But...How?" Aarok asked, "The same way you met Grand Master Satele Shan, I will soon enter Netherworld of the Force. But First, I am here to tell you something." Qui-Gon said. "What?" Aarok asked. "That will be made known to you in time my friend." Qui-Gon replied. "But.. But thats not fair." Aarok said. "Nothing is fair my friend." Qui-Gon said, "You will learn from another Friend in time. That friend, you will know, after they reveal themself to you, and after something drastic has happened." Qui-Gon replied, "But," he continued, "It will not take place for at least 40 years, so don't worry about it happening soon." He finished. "40 Years?" Aarok asked astonished. "40 years my friend." Qui-Gon replied. "May the Force be With You Aarok." Qui-Gon said, "And You Master.." Aarok replied unhappily, "It will be here before you know it my friend." Qui-Gon said, then he faded away...

Exile on Felucia
1 ABY

After Order 66, Aarok had fled to felucia and was intent on remaining there, the rest of his days. Until, one day, he was approached by none other than Luke Skywalker. "Luke? What are you doing here?" "I came to ask of your help in the rebellion, I am not the greatest of leader, and you fought in the clone wars, with my f ather and Ben Kenobi. You know much more then I ever will about the Force, and are a greater warrior, than I hope to ever be. Please, would you join the rebellion?" "I'll think about it." was Aarok's response. "Come back in 3 rotations." "Very well, I hope to hear from you soon!" "May the Force be with You Luke." "You too, Master Bactamark." after they finished speaking, Luke returned to the Rebel's secret outpost, and Aarok began meditating, on whether or not he should go with him.

After deep meditation, and speaking with Master Yoda, through the Force of course. He contacted Luke. "Luke, come in." "Yes Aarok?" "I have decided to go with you. I will join the rebellion." "Very Good. I will see you soon." "And you." Aarok replied. He ended the transmission and grabbed His Lightsabers. he knew the time for war had come again...

A Strange Visit
1 ABY

Exactly 1 day before Aarok was going to depart, to join the Alliance, he was visited by a strange visitor. He was meditating when he sensed it to be a person. He found out it was Jedi, and an Old Friend. His name was, 'Kalaso Blekoona', and he was a Twi'lek. "Hello Aarok, it has been too long." said Kalaso. "Too long indeed my old friend. I thought you had died in Order 66." Aarok said. "No, but it appeared that way, and according to Imperial Records, I am. I survived, and fled to my home planet, Ryloth, I remained in Exile there, until i decided i would join the rebellion. I have come to see if you will as well." said Kalaso. "Actually, Yes. I am leaving tomorrow." Aarok replied. "Very good, I guess we will fight together then." "It seems that way my friend." Aarok replied. "See you soon Aarok." Kalaso said. "Same to you friend." Aarok responded. Kalaso went his way, but unfortunately, 1 month into the war, he was killed in a duel with Darth Vader, and there was nothing Aarok could do to help it. He mourned his friends loss, but knew he would see him again one day...

End of, "A Strange Visit."-

A 2nd Love Interest
2 ABY

Aarok had a 2nd interest during the Clone Wars, in another female jedi friend, but he never wanted to admit any feelings for her, as to the fact that he never forgave himself for Talia's death, even though there was nothing he could've done to stop it.

The other Jedi Aarok had feelings for was 'Zaniah Aurora', a human female Jedi, who was also good friends with Aarok before any feelings came about. After Order 66, he found out Zaniah survived the Temple Purge, and went to Hypori, to live out her days in exile. Aarok wanted to track down her, and see if she planned on joining the rebellion or not, but he didnt know if he should or not.

He meditated, and contacted her within meditation, and spoke with her, caught up, asked the questions he wanted, and then decided to go there, and see her. After he arrived on Hypori, he met up with her, and he and she headed off for the nearest Rebel outpost.

They served in the rebellion for a couple of years, before Aarok and Zaniah, encountered Darth Vader on a mission to Nar Shaddaa. They engaged him in a duel, and were going to beat him, but then he force pushed Aarok into a wall, causing him to get dizzy, and then he took on Zaniah.

Zaniah could hold her own well in dueling, but Vader was overpowering her quickly, and Aarok returned to his senses, just as Vader plunged the blade into her chest, and she fell over. Vader retreated to his Modified TIE Ship, and flew off, but Aarok yelled, "NO!!!!!" when she was stabbed. He ran over to her, and told her everything he felt. She said she felt the same way, and would've liked to be together, since the Jedi Code wouldn't really apply anymore.

Zaniah died in Aarok's arms, and he never forgave himself for her death either. He knew he would also see her again one day, but he missed her sorely. Aarok decided to recount all the deaths of close ones he had over the years.

He counted His only padawan 'Roy Rill', his Captain, 'Beta', his first love, 'Talia', and now Zaniah as well, and his friend Kalaso, who was also killed by Vader. Aarok never vowed revenge for any of the losses he received, for he knew it would be a very sure way, to turn himself to the Dark Side, and he never wanted that.

He returned to a Rebel outpost to speak with Luke Skywalker, and Aarok & Luke talked for a while, and Luke comforted Aarok, but also told him, "He would see them again, one day." Aarok made peace with that, thanked Luke for speaking with him, and was ready once again, to return to the war, awaiting whatever came around, and ready and able to deal with it...

End of, "A 2nd Love Interest."-

First days in the Rebellion
3 ABY

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin 0 BBY/ 0 ABY, Aarok was visited on his home by Luke Skywalker, and asked if he wished to join The Alliance. He did, and after a short little time to think, he went on to the Rebel base. He arrived at the rebel base, on Hoth, just before the Battle of Hoth, but was transferred to another location 2 days before the battle. Aarok fought on many different fronts, became great friends with Luke & Han & Chewie, and R2-D2 always kept the secret parts of his past, that he didnt want anyone to know, secret. And Threepio was Threepio, as usual.

Shortly before the battle of Endor, Aarok was on a mission to infiltrate an Imperial outpost on Felucia, his planet of residing after the Clone Wars.

He entered the facility, and slowly began knocking out, one or two Stormtroopers, here and there, just like he did during the Temple Purge. His primary objective was to destroy the Facility, by causing the core reactor of the base, to explode. Aarok made his way to the Reactor, placed the explosives, and flew off the planet, just before the base errupted in bright light, and fire.

Aarok returned to one of the many Rebel outposts, hidden throughout the galaxy, and reported to Admiral Ackbar, that the mission was a success. Shortly after, the Battle of Endor, was fought...

End of, "First days in the Rebellion."-

The Battle of Endor
4 ABY

The Rebellion had learned of the plans for the 2nd Death Star, and so they tried to hault anything from being built. unfortunately, that didnt work, So... The Battle of Endor was born.

Aarok was contacted by Admiral Ackbar, and told that he was to participate in the Planetary battle, and to help eliminate the Shield Generator. He did as he was told, and moved out with the Rebels that were headed to the planet surface. They landed, safely and undected, and 10 minutes later, they were about to blow up the station, when they were captured by Imperial Forces. The rebels didnt know if they were gonna die, but Aarok knew, if had to, he could take them. but 15 minutes later, The Shield Generator was destroyed, the Rebels had won, and Aarok just received the transmission, saying the Death Star was gone, immediately following the transmission, the sky lit up in bright lights, and the Ewoks and Rebels Cheered! Later that evening, the party celebration was happening, and Luke had just said Goodbye to his dads Force Spirit, but Aarok wanted to talk with them before they faded away. "Master's before you go, can we talk?" Aarok asked the three. "Yes, About what would you like to speak about?" Yoda replied with a question. "When I die, will i become like you?" Aarok asked. "Perhaps. Perhaps not, only time will tell." "Very well." Aarok responded. The Masters faded away, but not before Aarok gave a respectful bow, and told them all, "May the Force be with You."...

Luke asking Aarok a Question
5.5 ABY

A year and-a-half after the Battle of Endor, Aarok was at his home on Felucia, as usual. He was visited by Luke again, but this time not to join the Rebellion, as the last time was about. This time, Luke asked for training and apprenticeship under Aarok.

Aarok was startled by this, but none-the-less, he took the job, and said "Yes." he also told Luke, "I must warn you though, I dont have good reputation with Padawans." "Why is that?" Luke asked. "Because," Aarok replied, "Because the only padawan I had, died in the first year of his training. So I don't have great luck with Apprentices." "There's no such thing as luck." Luke replied.

They began their training, and Aarok, like Yoda, taught him everything he knew. After Two & a half years of Training, Missions, & Battles and such, Luke was ready to become the next Grand Master, and Aarok was never more proud in his life then now. "Thank You Aarok, for agreeing to teach and train me." Luke said thankfully. "Your welcome Luke, it was my honor, and privilege to teach the next leader of the New Jedi Order." Aarok replied. "What do you mean?" Luke asked. "I saw a vision one day, when we were training. It showed me that you will be the next Grand Master of the New Jedi Order, and for that, I am so thankful." Aarok responded. "But, that role isn't for me, I'm not that great a Jedi, but you are." Luke replied. "Oh no I'm not, and I will not disobey a vision from the Force, because it knows what is right. and it says, You will be the Next Grand Master. When that time is, I do not know." Aarok said. "Very well.. if you say so, I believe you." Luke replied.

They meditated together for a little while, until Luke recieved a transmission from Mon Momtha, requesting him to go with Han Solo, and to put a stop to Zsinj, the Rogue Imperial Warlord, who wanted Galaxy-wide rule. Luke left but Aarok stayed, and Aarok hoped Luke was alright, and somehow, Aarok knew he was...

End of, "Luke asking Aarok a Question."-

The Hunt for Zsinj
7 ABY

Three years after the Battle of Endor, Aarok was with Luke, helping to train him, so that Luke would be a better Swordsman, than Aarok, Aarok's master Cin Drallig, and possibly even Yoda himself.

While they were training, Luke received a transmission from Mon Momtha. She had requested that Luke go with Han Solo to follow Zsinj, and take him out, as he was becoming a threat to the New Republic, and Luke obliged, but told Aarok that he could stay on Felucia, and that Luke could handle his own.

After Luke left, Aarok was at his home alone, awaiting any transmission or communication, but none ever came. For a few months, Aarok didn't hear a word about anything that was happening.

The one day, Luke all of the sudden reappeared at his home, and told him everything, and why there was no communication. Aarok understood everything, and he was glad to know what had happened.

Luke told of the Battle of Dathomir where he learned more about the Force, and had attained more abilities than he had. He told of Zsinj being killed over Dathomir, and the Falcon's apparent demise at the hands of Zsinj, but Luke told Aarok that she would be rebuilt soon. And Luke told about the Nightsisters, and Gethzerion, who had captured them, and all that transpired with them.

They talked with each other for a long while, until Luke said he was ready for more training, and this time, Luke did beat Aarok in dueling, and he knew that meant two things. 1, Luke was on his way to becoming the greatest Jedi that ever lived, and 2, the Next Grand Master of the New Jedi Order was standing right in front of Aarok. "Congratulations Luke, you are becoming more and more powerful, and I am glad to have taken you in." Aarok spoke. Luke had come to Aarok after the Battle of Endor, and asked if he could be his Master, and Aarok agreed, but he didn't consider himself better than Luke in any way.

"Thank You, my former master." Luke replied, "Luke, just because I agreed to take you in, doesn't mean you have to call me anything, that has the word "Master" in it. Got it?" Aarok responded. "Yes Aarok," Luke replied, "Thank you Aarok for helping me." He spoke. "Your welcome." Aarok replied.

They finished they're final training, and Aarok told Luke that he was now the Master, and Aarok immediately bowed to Luke, but Luke didn't like that either. "Get up Aarok." Luke told him, "Just because I may become the next Grand Master, doesn't mean you have to bow. We are of equal rank as well. Have you got that?" "Yes." Aarok replied, "Good." Luke responded.

After the two were done with training, they went opposite ways, Luke headed off to either Coruscant or Yavin IV, Aarok wasn't sure which one, and Aarok himself headed nowhere, he just stayed on Felucia.

But in a few years, Luke would come to Aarok, and ask if he wanted to join the New Jedi Order, and Aarok said, "Yes."...

Meeting Mara Jade, before Her Jedi Life
8.5 ABY

Approxomately 1 & a-half years after Zsinj was defeated and killed, Luke had left Aarok's homestead to do what, Aarok didn't know. But Aarok assumed Luke went to Yavin IV to build his new Jedi Praxeum. Aarok only knew that Luke was going to do this, because he had a vision, one week earlier.

The next week after he had the vision, He had another vision. This time he had to go Tatooine yet again, but he didn't know why this time.

He journeyed to Tatooine, and was only there a short time, when he recieved another vision. He was speaking with a woman, and then the vision ended and he began his search for the mysterious woman.

He headed for Mos Eisley Spaceport, but found nothing there. He then headed for the next biggest place on Tatooine, Jabba's Palace, nothing there either. He was about to return to his ship, that he parked in the Desert a little ways off from Mos Eisely, when the woman stopped him.

"You're apparently looking for me. Who are you, are Jedi?" The woman asked, "Yes, and how do you know I am a Jedi, and that I was looking for You??" Aarok responded. "I sensed it." The woman replied. "Well, so you have training with the Force then?" Aarok asked. "But your what now, a Smuggler?" He also asked. "Yes I am, and was. I was an Emperor's Hand, but after the Battle of Endor, that ended. So I became a Smuggler." The woman replied. "Well, first things first, I'm Aarok Bactamark, and who might you be?" Aarok asked. "Mara Jade." The woman replied. "Nice to meet you Mara Jade." Aarok responded, "And you Aarok." She replied.

They talked for a while, and got to know each other better, but then Aarok decided he must be going. "Well, if you don't mind, I must be off." Aarok said. "No, no, not at all." She said, "But before you go." she said, then she gave him a Romantic Kiss out of the blue, and Aarok was startled to death. "What was that for?" he asked, "A goodbye present." she said. "That was.. an interesting present." He replied. "You liked it, didn't you!?" She said with a smirk. "Kind of, yes." he replied. She gave him another kiss, but this time, she hit him on the back of the head, causing his vision to blur, and he got dizzy. "We'll see each other again Aarok." she said as she walked off, acting sassy. "Why did you hit me?" he asked, confused and a bit dazed. "Because I wanted too." She replied with a smile. "Goodbye," she said, "This won't be the last time we meet." she said. She kissed him one more time, just before he fainted, and lay looking like a dead man on the ground.

She left, and Aarok awoke 10 minutes later, startled, and immediately jumped up, but no one was there. He was very confused with all that had just transpired, and pondered it for a long time. He returned to Felucia, for a few years, until Luke came to ask if he would like to join and he had said yes, but the next time he met Mara Jade, She & Luke were romantically involved, and soon their wedding took place.

Aarok was slightly saddened, but never ever angry at Luke, and he never held anything against Luke or Mara Jade, and he was always friends with both of them, and nothing ever changed between the Three, they just all stayed the best of friends.

And in time, Luke learned of what happened with the two, because Aarok told him about it one day, and all they both did was laugh, and Aarok was glad about that, and so was Luke...

The New Jedi Order
11 ABY

After The Battle of Endor, Aarok joined the newly formed New Jedi Order, and automatically was put 3rd in rank on the list. Luke Skywalker was 1st, and Kyle Katarn was 2nd, but he did not come later. The Jedi Praxeum as it was called, was located on Yavin 4, and there were other Establishments throughout the Galaxy as well.

Aarok and Luke and Kyle meditated together all the time, sensing what would come, preparing for it, and getting rid of it before it came round.

Aarok stayed in the Order faithfully, even when Kyle



didnt, and He always had faith in his friends, always.

After Aarok reached a certain age, he felt it was time for retirement, and returned to his

home on Felucia, to live out the rest of his days in peace. He was an old man by the time he retired, and didnt move like he used to, but he always could Tie with Luke & Kyle in dueling.

He returned to Felucia, and meditated, telling Kyle and Luke, he was alright, and wished them the best of luck for the future...

The Wedding of Luke & Mara Jade
19 ABY

After meeting each other, Luke & Mara Jade hit it off right away. They were good friends for a long time, until they thought that there was something more between them, and there was.

After many years of friendship, they both decided they wished to Marry, and Aarok was very happy for them. Immediately the wedding started being planned, and it was coming along well. Leia wanted Mara Jade to try on some dresses, but all the ones she tried on, she hated.

Later Mara ran into a designer who had just been fired by her boss, by the name of Jari'kyn, and Mara hired her to be her personal designer for her dress.

The two lovebirds first had an unofficial wedding, just for the Jedi alone, then later an official wedding took place, which cauesd much turmoil and distress, but in the end, The Official Wedding went according to plan, and all went well.

Luke & Mara Jade decided to go on a Honey-Moon for a short time, and while they were away, Aarok was put in charge of the Temples. He did the best job he could, and when Luke & Mara Jade returned, they were very grateful, and always held a place in their hearts for Aarok, which he was very grateful for, and he felt the same way...

End of, "The Wedding of Luke & Mara Jade."-

The Yuuzhan Vong War
25-29 ABY During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Aarok mostly remained at the Jedi Praxeum, or the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the war. He had his Master's job, Guarding the Temple, and Security. And on top of that, he had to guard Two Temples, The Temple on Coruscant, and The Praxeum on Yavin IV.

During the war, many many lives were lost. Jedi, Galactic Alliance, Imperial



remnants, Yuuzhan Vong, and Civilians all thoughout the Galaxy.

The Yuuzhan Vong were an alien species of Galaxy Invaders. They destroyed some worlds, left them in ruins, and took many lives in the name of Galaxy counquering and bloodshed.

Once the war was finally over, the Yuuzhan Vong self-exiled themselves to a remote planet, and Aarok didn't have to keep as high a guard on the Two Temples.

Aarok, Kyle, Kyp Durron, and Luke returned to their places of rank, in the temple, and all was well in the Galaxy, for now...

The Last of the Original Empire's Minions
37 ABY

Aarok was on his way through the temple to Luke Skywalker's quarters, to discuss an urgent matter, his possible retirement, since he was getting older. but then before he entered the door, he sensed something on Felucia, near his home, the last of the Imperial Stormtroopers scattered throughout the Galaxy. He entered Luke's room to ask if he could return to Felucia to get rid of them, and Luke replied, "Yes you may, but do you need any help?" Aarok responded in one word, "No." So he headed off for Felucia, found the last of the stormtroopers and told them, they were not going to live to tomorrow. They responded rudely, "What are you gonna do Old Man?" Aarok responded with action. there were 10 Stormtroopers, and before any of them could react to Aarok's movement, 3 were dead on the ground. One Stormtrooper spoke up and said, "Wow, for an old guy, he sure can move." Aarok next went for him, and after one swift stroke, the Stormtrooper was in half on the ground. The other 6 proceeded to move into the thicker jungle, thinking they could lose Aarok, but this was Aarok's adopted home, and he knew every nook and cranny of within 20 miles of his home. After letting the Stormtroopers think they lost him, and let them split up into groups of 2, he got rid of one of the groups, right away, with no noise made, not a sound. He moved onto getting rid of one of the other groups, but they made a sound before Aarok got rid of them. So the last group of 2, headed in Aarok's direction, but Aarok hopped onto an overhanging plant, and when the 2 stormtroopers were right underneath him, he let himself go, and chopped both of them in half, vertically. He returned to The Jedi Praxeum & told Luke that the Stormtroopers were all gone, and the Empire was no more...

An Encounter, with A Sith (Part 1)
39 ABY

One day, Aarok was meditating in his home on Felucia, while he had returned there from Yavin IV, for some R&R, when suddenly, A sith appeared at the far front end of his property. Aarok was befuddled by this, but only for a moment, he sprang into action, grabbing his sabers with the force. The Sith charged him and Ignited his Double-bladed saber, and went in for a killer blow, but Aarok easily dodged it. They fought for a little bit, until the sith knocked him to the ground, and began escaping on his speeder. "Come back here you little Monkey Lizard!" "Make Me!" the sith taunted. Aarok hopped on his 74-z and began pursuing the sith, they drove for miles and miles, before the sith was knocked off his speeder, and Aarok leaped off his, Stabbing both his sabers, right into the Sith's Chest. "Ahhhh!!!"



The sith screamed. "Who are you?" Aarok yelled. "You'll never find out." the sith replied. He then died, and Aarok removed his face mask, only to find a face, identical to Anakin Skywalker.



"But... thats not possible!" Aarok said aloud. "Perhaps it is, my friend." someone said from behind him. "What in the?" Aarok said. "Ahh, do not fear my friend, It is I, Obi-wan Kenobi." "But Obi-wan, arent you dead??" "Yes, but I am one with the Force now, and I have achieved a higher plain of existence." "Am I..  to join you?" Aarok asked. "No, well.. not yet." Aarok was perplexed by this. "That means what?" "It means, you just passed a test, your first test, to the path of Immortality." "But..... How?" "One day, in the future, the time will come when you will pass on, and I am here to help you." "Very well, what test was this?" "The test of, Non-Attatchment. You sensed a familiar presence in the sith, did you not?" "Well, Yes." "That,  my friend, was your first test, and you passed. next to come, in time of course, will be many more tests before you are ready." "When do we.. begin??" "We already have, my friend." Obi-wan replied. "We already have." he said again...

After that, Aarok began his tests, and surpassed most of them all, with little difficulty, Obi-wan always said, "Well done." at the end of every test. He then would ask, "How have you overcome your attachments and feelings?" Aarok would always reply, "Being alone on Felucia in my time away from the Praxeum, and my time during My Exile, kinda helps." "I see." Obi-wan would reply many a time.

One day soon, Aarok was ready for his final test, but that wouldnt come, for a long time...

The Death of Mara Jade Skywalker
40 ABY

Aarok was at the Praxeum when he learned the news of Mara's passing, and was deeply saddened. He missed Mara very much, but he knew Ben & Luke missed her so much more.

-The Funeral
Aarok attended the funeral with everyone else, and wore the white robes that they requested the Jedi wear. Luke & Ben wore dark grey robes, and they're hoods up.

Saba Sebatyne was the one that gave Mara's eulogy, because Leia was going to give it, but she had to leave Coruscant because an attempt was made to arrest both Leia and Han Solo, so Sebatyne gave the eulogy instead.

"We have come to this sacred place to say farewell to our dear friend, to a fierce warrior and a noble dispenser of justice. Mara Jade Skywalker was one of the brightest stars of the Jedi Order, and we will miss her."  Those were the words Sebatyne spoke when she gave the eulogy, and in the middle of the eulogy, Jacen Solo entered the Morning Court, where the funeral was happening, and many people were stirring, but no one knew that Jacen was the one who killed her, not even Luke or Ben.

The officials and every one were trying to figure out of Jacen should be with the Officials or if he should be with Luke & Ben, because he was family. Luke said that he would stand with Him & Ben. And Sebatyne continued her eulogy. Sebatyne decided to finish the eulogy by speaking of the Dangers of the Dark Side of the Force. While Saba was still finishing her Eulogy, Mara's body began to disappear, and by the time Sebatyne had finished, Mara was one with the Force, to be at peace at last..

The eulogy ended, and Jacen left, while the other attendees at the funeral went to the Hall of Peace to have a remembrance feast.

No one at the Funeral ever suspected that Jacen had anything to do with Mara's death, but Aarok sensed something suspicious of Jacen, becaue when Jacen took his place next to Luke & Ben, he accidentally bumped Aarok, and apologized, and Aarok forgave him, but when the two touched, Aarok saw the duel between Mara & Jacen, and he saw him strike her down, on Kavan.

Aarok pondered these things to himself, not telling anyone, for fear of any outlash, but Jaina Solo soon found out as well, and when Jacen started the Second Galactic Civil War, she vowed to put a stop to him, once and for all...

End of, "The Death of Mara Jade Skywalker."-

Facing a Dark Lord
40 ABY

In the first year of the Second Galactic Civil War, Aarok was asked by the Council if he would seek out Jacen Solo, to confirm their rumors of him, and Aarok obliged.

He headed for the last place he remembered seeing him, but found nothing there. He headed out in the Galaxy in search of him, and used the Force as a guide. Aarok began searching the Galaxy, and he finally located where Jacen was, Centerpoint Station. Centerpoint Station was a massive space station constructed in 100,000 BBY, that the Jedi and many others, knew hardly anything of it.

Aarok never really knew what the Station was, and how it worked, he was only there to find Jacen. He found Jacen meditating alone, and nothing was going on that was peculiar, but Aarok knew something was off. "So Aarok, you've come to find me? Why are you here?" Jacen asked. "That is Master to you Jacen." Aarok snarled. "Whatever." Jacen replied. "I considered Kyle a threat, but not you." Jacen said. "Kyle? and not me? I take offense!" Aarok replied loudly. I don't care what you take, but if you plan to stop me, you'll have to face me, and I will destroy you." Jacen replied, "Because, I am now Dark Lord of the Sith." "Oh really?" Aarok asked. "Really." Jacen replied. "Only a sith deals an absolute, I will do what I must." Aarok said, quoting Obi-wan, "You will try." Jacen said, quoting his Grandfather, Anakin.

They immediately began a fierce duel, neither side getting an edge, but Jacen was younger, and Aarok didn't know for sure if he could defeat him. They threw each other around a lot, threw things with the Force, and Aarok even had to use Tutaminis, so that he could block Jacen's lightning, and channel it back at him. They dueled for a long time, and the duel played out much like Aarok's duels with Darth Vader, but finally, Aarok had a chance to subdue Jacen, and he took it.

Jacen used a move that left him vunerable to attack, and Aarok used that to injure Jacen's shoulder, and put him on the ground. Jacen then immediately Force Pushed Aarok into a wall, causing him to drop both of his lightsabers. Jacen then leaped at Aarok, and he had to use Tutaminis to block the blade, which was only recorded a few times before, most notably by Satele Shan on Alderaan, during her duel with Darth Malgus.

Aarok blocked the blade, and then built up a small Force Repulse, and threw Jacen to the other end of the Hallway. He then generated a Force Push so powerful, he threw Jacen through at least 4 doors, and completely destroyed a window. Jacen finally stopped flying when he hit a Bulkhead Door, knocking him out, and giving him a horrible headache.

Aarok didn't know if Jacen was dead, but he knew his deed was done. Jacen was injured, slightly broken, and definitely beaten. Aarok was happy with that, and he returned to the Council, and reported everything that happened. After Aarok had returned, he meditated, and sensed Jacen was still alive, but Aarok's deed was done, and he knew Jaina was the one who would stop him. Aarok also learned Jacen had now declared himself, Darth Caedus.

The 2nd Galactic Civil War continued to rage, until Jaina did confront Jacen, and he was ended...

End of, "Facing a Dark Lord."-

The Second Galactic Civil War
40-41 ABY

During the coming days, Jacen Solo began a descent into the Dark Side, and nobody knew it. After he had fully turned, he successfully took over rule of the Galactic Alliance, and the Jedi were forced to try to stop him.

Jacen had prievously sought teaching from the Dark Lady Lumiya, and when she was put down by Luke, he declared himself, Dark Lord of The Sith, Darth Caedus.

But before that transpired, Mara Jade had decided to pursue Lumiya, but when she landed on Kavan, she found Jacen instead. He began viscously dueling his Aunt, and Mara was going to defeat him, but Jacen used a Force Illusion of Ben to distract her, and put her down with a poison dart, causing her to die.

Mara's last words were, "You think…you've won. But Luke will crush you…and I refuse…to let you…destroy the future…for my Ben." Jacen let his Aunt die, and didn't even feel much regret, proving he was truly a Sith now. Jaina was going to help her Aunt track Lumiya, but she had ordered Jaina to follow another possible threat while she travelled to Kava, thinking she was tracking Lumiya, but instead encountered Jacen. She put up a valiant fight, but Jacen had tricked her with a vision, and then put an end to her life by stabbing her with a poison dart.

Aarok was sadddened by her loss, and missed her very much, and was comforting to Luke, and did everything he could to comfort him & Ben, their son.

The war ensued, and many battles were waged. The Jedi achieved some victories and so did Jacen, but in the final days of the war, Jaina had finally found out where he was going to be, and found him, and began a duel with him.

Jaina & Jacen began dueling on the Anakin Solo, where Jacen was using the ship and a small fleet to attack Sheedu Maad, and Jaina had managed to get her X-Wing into the Anakin Solo. They ran into each other, and began a fierce duel, but Jaina wasn't there to avenge her Aunt, it was only out of justice that she was there.

In the end, Caedus was beaten, battered, and broken, but just before Jaina struck him down, he stopped fighting her, and used the force to communicate with his wife wife Djo, and warn her that their daughter could end up in danger, and then, Jaina took him down in the name of Justice, and just before he died, he returned to the Light, and was once again Jacen Solo...

After Jaina had returned from the battle, Aarok in his old age, told her that he knew it wasn't easy, but she would see him again one day. and she told him, "Thank You." after this all transpired in the coming years of the near future, Aarok asked Luke if he could retire, because he was very old, and felt his mission in life was done, and he had done his part for the Galaxy.

Luke agreed, and with that, he retired in 44.5 ABY, but not before helping the Jedi Coalition to bring an end to Daala's evil rule, since she had exiled Luke, and was attempting her own takeover...

End of, "The Second Galactic Civil War."-

Luke's Exile
43.5 ABY

A year & a half after The Second Galactic Civil War was over, Luke was exiled by Daala, and told if he could discover why Jacen Solo, his nephew, had turned to the Dark Side, then he could return to the Order.

During his journey, his son, 'Ben' accompanied him, because he wanted to, and Luke could not say anything to stop him. They're journey was a long one and they had many adventures, and while they were away, the Jedi Order subsceeded from the Galactic Alliance, and became the Jedi Coalition, after Luke had been exiled.

While Luke & Ben were away, many things happened, some good, some not so good, but the Jedi always made it through the things, and were all better for it.

When Luke was gone, Kenth Hammer acted as the Grand Master of the Order, for a time, but Luke returned after his exile, and Kenth stepped down, and Luke returned to his rightful place as Grand Master.

Also while Luke was gone, he had many dealings, duels & encounters with Abeloth, who was once a mortal servant girl, but later became a vicious and evil Dark Side Spirit, which Luke defeated, destroyed and banished.

After Abeloth was defeated, Luke sent a Jedi Task Force to Mortis, to retrieve the Dagger of Mortis, to have a means of stopping Abeloth for good, should she ever return.

In exactly a year after Luke's exile, he returned in 44 ABY, and a half-year later, Aarok's retirement party happened, and he retired from The Order, and lived out the rest of his days on Felucia...

End of, "Luke's Exile."-

Retirement
44.5 ABY

After a long life and long life of service to the Jedi, to both the Old Republic Order & The New Republic Jedi Order, Aarok felt it was finally time to retire, and live out the rest of his days, in peace.

He did so, and lived on Felucia for the remainder of his days, but not before the Jedi threw him a Retirement Party. The party went great, and Aarok had a great time with friends and family. They reminisced about many things, the good, the bad, the great, and the sad.

After the party was over, Aarok left Yavin IV in his Good Old Interceptor, and was given a heartfelt farewell by many Jedi. He gave them all a final bow, and told them all, "May the Force be with You..."

He landed on Felucia after a fairly long journey, and decided to go ahead and sleep for a while. He lived out his last Year & a half on Felucia, and nothing major happened. He remembered when he would visit Felucia, while he was still in the Jedi Order, and the Encounter with a Sith he had, and everything else that transpired throughout his life, and he was very grateful for everything...

End of, "Retirement."-

Death and Passing on Felucia
46 ABY

Aarok knew His time was drawing near, and he accepted that, because he had lived a very long and good life. He survived many things, saw many more things, and knew he would be one with the Force very soon.



Master Yoda's spirit appeared in the morning of the day. "Ready, are you?" "Yes.. I've lived.. a good life.. and now... it's time... to go on.. I am ready..." "Very well, lets begin." Obi-wan said.

Aarok laid his Lightsabers on his bed and went outside to follow. Master Yoda & Obi-wan showed him the way, and he meditated to make sure everything went alright, and 20 minutes later, Aarok was gone, and there was a New Force Spirit, to help guide many a future Jedi... End of, "Death & Passing on Felucia."-

Guiding a Few Jedi.. After Death
50 ABY

Four Years after Aarok passed on from the Physical Plain, he had to remain to train some Jedi, before he could finally enter the Netherworld of the Force.

These Jedi were only new Knights, and were in hiding. They were away from anything that had to do with The Jedi Order, Jedi Coalition, Galactic Alliance, or anything Political. They still called themselves Jedi, and vowed to one day return to the Jedi Order, and continue their training, and later teaching there. The Jedi were teaching themselves about Lightsaber combat when Aarok's ghost appeared. "Hello Young Ones." Aarok's ghost spoke. "What?" The 3 Jedi said in unison. "I am here to guide You." Aarok said. "What do you mean?" The Jedi asked. "I am here to help you to return to the Jedi Order, and finish all of your lessons & training there." Aarok replied. "But... But were not going back there..." The Jedi responded. "Why not?" Aarok asked, "Just because, Things....things happened." They responded. "I am Jedi Master Aarok Bactamark, I died 4 years ago, what could have happened in 4 years?" He asked. "Stuff.." The Jedi replied.

Aarok continued to wean out of them information, but didn't get very far. These Jedi had exiled themselves to Dantooine, and that is all Aarok had learned.

After vigorous searching of their minds, Aarok found nothing. He began training them none-the-less, and they soon told him their names. Jaila Vertro was the Human Girl's name, Heran Kirta was the Zabrak Male's name, and the Human Male's name was Arok Gentrokin. Aarok was slightly amused by one of the Jedi being named Arok, since it was close to his name, but he continued they're training anyways.

Soon, after 3 Weeks of vigorous training, teaching, and learning of lessons the hard way, The 3 Jedi were ready and willing to return to the Jedi Order. They all thanked Aarok for his teaching, and told him they were indebted to him. They were also all astonished to meet Aarok, because they had heard of the Jedi's reputation.

They all parted ways, and Aarok was finally allowed to enter the Netherworld of the Force, but he never learned about the reasons why the Jedi had left, and what was going on in the Galaxy. He finally entered the Netherworld, and became but a memory to some, and long-remembered friend to many, and a great Jedi as well. Soon after Aarok had passed, when some Holocrons were being added to by the Jedi Order to record the newer History that hadn't been recorded, Aarok's name, Biography, and picture were placed in the Holocrons, And his Lightsabers that were found on his Home on Felucia, were taken to the Temple, as a remembrance and learning experience to future Jedi, and before Aarok's Spirit had passed, He learned of this, and was very grateful that such an honor was bestowed upon him.

After Aarok's spirit had passed into the Netherworld, not much was known of what became of His spirit, but it is said that he saw many a Jedi, who had passed before him, many Council members, old friends, His love-interests, and his Padawan...

End of, "Guiding a Few Jedi.. After Death."-

Legacy
46 ABY-Never Forgotten

Nothing is known of Aarok's Spirit or life after this, but he left behind a Great Legacy, which was told of to many future Jedi, in the near and far future. Jedi of the New Jedi Order spoke of him with great respect, Jedi in the future training padawans & younglings spoke of him with Honor and dignity, and he was remembered as a Humble and wise Jedi Master. Many people remembered him for his favoring in using the Jar'Kai form of Lightsaber dueling, which usually was used with Niman, but Aarok used Shien/Djem So mainly, and many future Jedi were astonished by this, and he was remembered for it, with Honor.

It was also remembered how kind he was to any & all, but how he also was swift to Honest Justice, and he was held with Highest Regard for that. Through the Ages, many a future Jedi spoke of Aarok, either as actually meeting him, or when almost all who had met Aarok had also passed on, His story was told as a Fairy Tale sort of way. Speaking of an Ancient Jedi who fought during the Clone Wars, survived the Great Jedi Purge, and even was apart of the New Jedi Order. Many younglings were amazed by this, and would always the Teachers if the story was real, and they always said, "Certainly!" Then the Younglings would ask if the teacher had ever met the Fabled Aarok Bactamark, and many teachers would simply say, "No.. But I wish I could have."

Aarok was remembered by at least some people, here and there either as a figment or a true story, but his Legacy stood the test of time, and never truly was Forgotten...

Personality & Traits
Aarok's Personality was, when he was younger cocky. He was slightly proud during 22-21 BBY, then he overcame his pride and humbled himself.

During his days as a padawan, Aarok did his best to listen to his Master, and obey when and where he could. He did his best to complete his missions, and felt good after he had been praised.

After he had humbled himself, he became even more selfless, and would go out of his way to do whatever he could, when and where he was.

While he was in Exile, he never became an old grump, he just was sad for many years, due to the fact of all of his Jedi friends dying or turning and running, or joining the Dark Side.

He eventually came over that sadness, and was better for it. During his Exile days, he honed his Lightsaber skills, kept fit, and continued self training himself with things he had, and knowledge he had learned.

When he joined the New Jedi Order, he felt at home once again, and gained many new friends during his time there.

When he left the order after his retirement, he lived not much longer, and began his deterioration after that.

When Aarok had completed the Trials, He began growing his Goatee, and kept it until about 43.5 ABY, when his hair turned white and he grew it to a full beard.

Aarok tended to be a kind and gentle person, but even he could let go and give in to Anger and other emotions, but eventually he overcame all of those, and was the best he could be..

Powers & Abilities
Aarok was skilled with a Lightsaber, and proficient in Jar'Kai dual blade fencing, which was devoloped from Form VI, Niman, But Aarok specialized in Shien/Djem So, better known as Form V, which was odd for a Jedi, and Yoda in paticuliar found this interesting.

Aarok could handle himself fine fighting Reverse styled with a lightsaber or two, but he was not great at that. But, due to his nature with Jar'Kai, he wasn't half bad with a Saber Staff, but he only trained with one, never actually using one.

Aarok was proficient in the Force Heal power, but was never able to heal someone, if they were too far gone. He excelled at Force Push, and during his Exile, he learned and became skilled with Force Valor as well. He was not half bad at using Force Speed, and could also use Force Sight when he was older.

He was skilled in Telekinesis and Levitation, which was evident in his many times of Meditation. Aarok was once able to use Battle Meditation, but never did end up using it, and forgot how to sometime soon after he had learned. He lost the memory of learning how to use it, when he accidentally hit his head on a pipe, on a mission when he was younger.

Aarok was able to use Force Sense with precision and ease, and he was able to see visions many times throughout his life, sometimes in meditation, and sometimes not. Aarok could also use Force Leap from time to time, and never had any bad landings.

Aarok learned Tutaminis while he was in Exile on Felucia, and used it in his duel with Darth Caedus. He never learned the Shatterpoint technique, but he wished he had.

Aarok was very proficient in the Mind Trick move, and once he was even able to convince a strong minded person to change his mind.

Obviously, Aarok was able to become a Force Ghost, and transcend the Physical Plane. Thereby showing before his death, His true Mastery of The Force, and His Oneness with it...

-An Encounter, with a Time Lord
20 BBY & 5 BBY

The 1st time Aarok encountered this strange being, was on Coruscant, in his Estate. The second time he encountered him, His home on Felucia.

Aarok was meditating one day, in his home, when he heard a strange wheezing noise, and he thought it was either a dying machine, or a sick animal. He went out to his Balcony, to find a strange Blue Box, but he had no idea what it was, or how it got there. Then, all of the sudden, someone popped up behind him, and said, "Hello, I'm The Doctor." Aarok whipped around, and activated one of his sabers, and said, "Who are you?" angrily. The man replied, "I told you, I am The Doctor." "Doctor Who??" Aarok asked, "Just the Doctor." The stranger replied. "And this.. this big box, what is it??" Aarok asked, "Its my ship silly!" the man replied. "Your what?" Aarok asked. He was befuddled by this mans appearance, and his strange words. "I am a traveller, that is my ship." the man said. next thing Aarok knew, the man hopped in his ship, and the box dematerialized, right before his eyes. Never to be seen again, or so Aarok thought...

The next time Aarok encountered this man, he was on his home on Felucia, 15 years, into the future. Aarok was again, meditating, when he heard that same wheezing groaning noise, he had heard before. He ran outside, only to discover, the Blue Box, was quote on quote "landed" on the far north edge, of Aarok's homestead. He immediately sensed that same man, but when he turned, around, he did not have the same face. "You? Again? Your face is different, How? are you a different person now?" Aarok asked these questions. "No, well sort of, well think of it as renewal, or something like that. actually don't think of it like that, but if it helps, think of it like that anyways." The man replied. "What?? You do not make any sense!" Aarok responded. "I know, that is why they call me The Doctor." He replied. "But, why Doctor? we only had medics in the war, where are you from, why are you coming to me, and what is with the Blue Box???" Aarok asked. "I'll explain it all to you later, for now, might wanna start by getting rid of that Cyberman over there." the man replied. "What, what is a Cyberman?" Aarok asked, "That Metal looking robot thing, kill it, or it will kill you." the man replied. "Oh great, the first time i meet you, you just disappear on me, the second time, you bring a friend." Aarok said sarcastically, "This one is not a friend." The Doctor said back.

Aarok ran towards the Cyberman, not knowing what it would do, so he swung at it, but it dodged, at lightning speed, like it could run super fast, but so could Aarok, thanks to Force Dash. He dashed at the Cyberman, which Aarok meant to do, cause he calculated, what would happen, if he did this attack. so he dashed, the Cyberman did exactly what he thought, and then Aarok decapitated him. Aarok returned to the Doctor to tell him, job well done. "Good, the Doctor replied.

Aarok and the Doctor talked inside his home, and visited for a while, until the Doctor informed him that he must be going. "Very well, Aarok replied, but then he asked if he could ask one question, so the Doctor said, "Yes." so Aarok's one and only question, was how did he change his face. The Doctor replied by saying this. "Times change, we all change, and we must embrace that. I am a Time Lord, from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterbourus. I am 1200 years old, and I can regenerate, to change my face. Regeneration, means if I die of old age, or I get shot by someone, fall off a building, etc, I change every cell in my body, and become a new person. that is how i have a different face. Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going on." "Goodbye Doctor, until we meet again, if we do." Aarok said, "Very well, Aarok." that being said, The Doctor entered his ship, which Aarok found out to be called the TARDIS, and flew off. but just as the Doctor left, Aarok realized something, how did he know his name, when he never said, but by then, The Doctor was gone, and everything returned to normal, for now...

End of, "An Encounter with a Time Lord."-

THE END.
