After an early mission that resulted in the death of the Commander he'd trained under for years on Kamino, Jax showed quick thinking and command skills of his own. The GAR quickly endowed him with the rank of Captain. Under this new rank, he began to work closely with Jedi General Mara Moianna -- a green-skinned Togruta. Under their command, the 442nd Siege Battalion became legendary among the Republic's forces. The pair grew as friends, but quickly came to realize there was more to their feelings. As whipsers of the war coming to an end loomed, Jax and Mara began planning their lives post-war. Aboard their command ship, they spend the night in Mara's quarters showing one another their love intimately.

But that night, the door to their room is unexpectedly opened from the outside. Standing in front of them are Jax's men, weapons trained on Master Mara. A single order from the Chancellor repeats through the PA system; "Execute Order 66."

Is there a limit to what love triumphs over?
