The Startled 'Snake'
In the span of just one hour, four horrific massacres took place across the Dawn Star System military base!
One was in a warehouse, one in a cafeteria, another in an Engineering Department office, and the last in barracks housing Clone Troopers. These places had nothing to do with one another and were not even located on the same space station, yet massacres had occurred in all of them! Their only commonality was that there were no survivors!
Not a single one!
At the warehouse and the Clone Trooper barracks, every corpse had been hacked into pieces. Almost none remained intact, and judging from the charred cross-sections of the wounds, they had been caused by Lightsabers. Every victim in the cafeteria had had their throat slit by a blade, while the dozens of victims in the office had had their heads explode outright.
Together with the earlier strange blackout, these four massacre sites made one thing unmistakably clear—someone had infiltrated the base!
And without question, it was an infiltration by a Force-sensitive such as a Jedi Knight! Otherwise, those Lightsaber wounds could not be explained.
The entire Dawn Star System immediately entered the highest level of alert! The Clone Troopers and Kuat security soldiers assembled here numbered over a million in total. They were immediately deployed across every space station in the military base, maintaining constant patrols.
Not only that, several Dark Jedi Knights who had fallen to the Dark Side, pledged themselves at Palpatine's feet, and entered those secretly established Force organizations also began investigating everywhere, seeking to find the culprit.
But there was simply no way to stop it. The massacres continued!
More than two hours later, another cargo station was massacred. More than forty workers and over ten guards were killed without exception!
