Execute Order 66. Any soldier who does not comply will be committing treason. Further orders to follow.</span>
The message shuts off. Silence fills the tent. You’re still a moment, before moving to the comms console. The same message. Priority 0. The highest. Codes confirming direct from the Chancellor. Going out to the entire Grand Army of the Republic.
You’ve glanced at the screen and scanned through the information in only a moment when your transceiver buzzes again and a new message is received on the console. You send it to the holotable and watch with Major Beck. Neither of you have said a word.
It’s Senator Bail Organa. He hesitates a moment, before beginning.
<span class="mu-b">This is Acting Chancellor Organa. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is no longer commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Order 65 has been put into effect. All communications from the Chancellor’s office must be ignored. All orders calling for the arrest or execution of members of the jedi order must be countermanded. The Grand Army’s allegiance is to the Republic, not the Chancellor. I… I hope this is not too late.</span>
The transmission shuts off. You check the codes. The same as the last one, but this time coming from the Security Council instead of the Chancellor. You look to Major Beck. There are no jedi here. According to protocol, there should be a jedi commander leading the regiment and each battalion, but losses have made that impractical, and the jedi commander assigned to the regiment died several months ago. You had yet to receive a replacement. You do know that there are several jedi on planet though, leading the troops in the final push to conquer it.
“Orders sir?”
Major Beck’s face is calm.
