Jedi Knight Vam had never been so insulted in his left. How could Chancellor Valorum allow those upstarts to dictate the moves of the Republic forces. They had been all but a conquered peoples less then 6 years ago. While it is true that it was the New Mandalorians that had been providing lessons to the jedi order these simpletons did not know the subtleties of the force.

Even though in the many battle simulations the jedi would lose the simulations never took into account the use of the force in the commanding officer. On a real battle field jedi would out match any normal general by any measure.
Vam knew he needed to calm down. His old master had always told him that pride would lead one down the path of the dark side, but he could not help but take pride in being a jedi. There were the true masters of peace and order in the galaxy. For too long they jedi have just watched as the Republic became more and more corrupt. Maybe it was time for the jedi to take control. Yes that"s it Chancellor Valorum has at most a year left in his term. If the attack plan of the Mandalorians fails then any good will he has left will be gone.
Which would open up a way for him to run for Chancellor. So now the only thing he had to do was make sure it failed. He wondered if his old friends that had joined the CIS would still pick up his com call he would just need the dates and order of attack fo each system. Sure many soldiers would lose their lives, but that was a small cost to secure the Republic for generations. He would honor their sacrifice by making sure the ones commanding their forces paid a heavy price.
It would kill two birds with one stone. A brilliant plan that only a jedi could come up with...
---6 hours earlier Mandalorian Compound---
"d.u.c.h.ess Satine Kryze let me ask you a question. What in your right mind thinks that I will give up rule of my planet, my people, and my rule to you. Old Mandalor has no standing army, you have not fleets what can you do to force me to listen to you?"
The d.u.c.h.ess started at the would be Mand"lor. As much as it infuriated her he was right. She really had no way of forcing him to do anything. h.e.l.l his system had more resources than her world and he has already shown the Republic part of his fleet when he help to save Naboo from the Trade Federation attack 5 years ago. She quickly thought of the one thing she could do.
"Then I will challenge you for your position based on the old ways." She statement matter of factly. Jack looked at her like she was an idiot not that she could see him with his helmet on after all. "You do realize that would mean you would have to fight me right, and that is no small thing either it would be in front of the clan elders from my world and your and they would have to come up with the terms of the battle not you or I. Then on the off chance that you do when you would have to battle anyone from my planet for 7 days straight so that they would even accept your rule. Are you sure that"s what you want to do."
The Dutchess paled slightly while the first part of what she had said was true she had not known about the second half of the tradition that his planet performed after the duel. If that is what he had to go through right after his duel then this man in front of her was a true Mandalorian even if he was not born one.
Before she could think of a better option Jack threw her a bone. " Tell you what I will fight you with just your elders present and if you win I will talk to my people about following your rule. h.e.l.l you don"t even have to be the one to fight your self I will let you pick a champion, but in the off chance that I win you do understand what will happen right."
She knew but this was the only way she could think of uniting her people. If she or her champion won then she would have access to all of his resources and armies and though she was trying to transition Mandalor away from it war like history. It would be an easier task if she had a force to enforce her changes.
" I accept your condition I will send for my elders and champion they will be here in 4 days." With that she exited the room. Leaving Jack to only shake his head at the coming a.s.s beating that he was about to deliver on who ever she would send as her champion.
---Present Time---
Jack had a smile on his face as he thought about the small exercise he would get to do in four days. Of course he had informed the elders clans on earth and the only response he got from them was should they send a fleet now or after to secure the system and establish his rule. That had brought a smile to his face. The fact that his clans had absolute faith in his victory showed him that he had been atlest a good ruler to his people. This was not the only thing he had to tell his clan elders on this call.
He also informed them of the Senate"s decision and how they would need to begin moving the attack fleet to Coruscant as this had been made the stagings area as well as send word that he would need his Master from the Knights of Libra here yesterday. The elders promised his will would be carried out and that they would place the knights on the fastest ship they had and it should be there in a day at most two.
Jack ended his call with the elders and quickly sent a call to his Stepfather and told him to inform his old friends in the order that his knights would be paying them a vist in two days time to discuss what the jedi"s role would be in this war. Now that he had two days free time he felt like it would be a good time to spend it with his mother and brother.
---Kamino Training Platform---
Shaak Ti was mediating of today"s training event. It had been a struggle. Today she had faced off against Jack"s clone troopers called Blue team, and she had to admit they were very impressive h.e.l.l even her current Master had been impressed. If she had not been training in the way she had for the past two months she had no doubt she would have been easley bested. Their team coordination and skills would overwhelm any normal jedi or sith, and with their soon to be complete specially produced armor the force would have no effect on them.
If Jack manages to produce an army from just his genetic makeup then she did not believe that their would be a force in the galaxy that would be able to stop them. She had also developed a soft spot for the six members of blue team. They called Jack father and her mother. Even though they took all their genes from Jack it made her realize how much she would love to have kids of her own. So until that day she would treat blue team like her own.
Before her happy thoughts could flood her mind Shaak quickly rolled from her position as a lightsaber was hurled and sunk into the every spot she had been resting. " Good you have improved, always be aware of your surroundings even when you are among allies and friends. You never know when an enemy may show up or attack." The Exile spoke force pulling the saber back to her as she walked up to Shaak Ti.
"Jack has sent a message calling for the Master of the Knights of Libra to join him on Coruscant to have a meeting with the jedi council." This confused Shaak, "Why are you telling me this Master I have not even remotely completed my training with you." The Exile laughed at this, " Of course you haven"t you silly girl but you are still a Master of his order and it"s not like he wants his Master and I I showing up just yet. Your love likes having aces in the hole and show us would be telling." Shaak Ti bowed to her Master, " I understand I will head to Coruscant immediately and return after my business is finished."
"No need to hurry back it has been some time since you last saw him right. Take some time and spend it together we will very busy soon and it might been even longer that you spend apart."Shaak Ti said nothing for she knew her master was right. If things got as bad as Jack had always told her she knew they would not spend much time together. So she plan to make the most of any time she got
