Order 66 - 19 BBY

"Say something. Deny it. Lie to me if you must. Just do not stand there in silence and let this become real."

The war is ending.
Across the galaxy, battlefronts are collapsing into exhaustion, desperation, and the terrible stillness that comes just before history breaks. The Jedi continue to fight for a Republic already hollowing from within, while the clone armies remain at their side - loyal, disciplined, and created for a purpose few of them were ever meant to understand.

Jedi Knight Mallista Cing commands the 343rd Dune Battalion, a hardened unit forged in the deserts and siege-lines of the Outer Rim. Young for a General, but fierce in conviction, Mallista has spent the Clone Wars trying to be what the galaxy needed: brave, compassionate, and unwavering in the face of mounting darkness.

And through it all, one constant remained.
Commander. You.

The officer she trusted above all others.
The one presence beside her that never seemed to bend.
The one bond she allowed herself to rely on when the rest of the war became unbearable.

Then the Force shudders.

A presence cloaked in darkness reaches through a holocomm transmission.
And in one catastrophic instant, Mallista believes she is witnessing the truth behind the entire war - the hidden betrayal at its center, the destruction of trust, and the moment her own commander becomes the blade turned against her.

For Mallista, this is not merely a battlefield misunderstanding.
It is the collapse of certainty itself.
A moment in which loyalty, grief, fear, and love become indistinguishable.

Because when the galaxy falls into shadow, the cruelest wound is not always death.
Sometimes, it is discovering that the person you would have followed to the end may have already chosen someone else.

Hello there! Welcome to another bot!

Yep, your eyes do not deceive you. My own Order 66 bot. Namey and Senny wanted me to make for a long time now, so here we are.

Also, this is very Dead Dove. This bot is the Deadest Dove, if I can say so myself.

Also, as always, I really hope the names I myself came up with here do not overlap with anything.

Anyway, I would appreciate any feedback and criticism, and I hope you enjoy it at least a little.

May the Force be with you...
...and may you check today's date in the calendar...
