Mission to Level 1312

"When I give the word, run and don't look back." "I won't leave you Master. They can't destroy the both of us." "This is the only way. You must return to the Jedi Temple and speak with the Council. They will know what to do."

- Ria-Asan-Jiar and Odessa Parfel, during Order 66

During the final days of the Clone Wars, the Jedi High Council sent Jedi General Ria-Asan-Jiar and Jedi Commander Odessa Parfel on a mission to the underworld of Coruscant to apprehend a Separatist spy named Kupa Selto. Once they arrived, they began investigating several bars and ended up at Reeva's Cantina, where Selto was hidden. Clone Commander CC-5869 "Stone" of the Coruscant Guard was stationed in the underworld to patrol the area. He led his platoon of clone shock troopers to join Jiar and Parfel in their pursuit of Selto.

The mission was soon interrupted when Stone received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. While Stone received the order, Jiar and Parfel sensed a great disturbance in the Force and ignited their lightsabers. They were forced to defend themselves against the clone troopers and killed a few before being surrounded. Jiar was able to use the Force to push back the clones, giving them enough time to run away. Their luck soon ran out as the clone troopers began recovering from the Force push. Once they were pursued again, Jiar decided to sacrifice herself so that her apprentice could escape and warn the Jedi Council. With some convincing, Parfel ran away as she witnessed her master fight off the clones until she was killed.

Parfel continued to escape the clones as they searched for her. In the midst of her search for an escape craft, she ran into Kupa Selto, who was frantically starting up his RGC-16 airspeeder. Full of pain and rage, Parfel killed Selto with her lightsaber and stole the airspeeder. She returned to the Jedi Temple to warn the Jedi Council as Jiar instructed only to see that everyone had been slaughtered. As a fugitive of the Galactic Republic, Parfel returned to the underworld to live in hiding.

Prelude
During the final months of the Clone Wars, the Separatist spy Kupa Selto was sent to the Republic capital of Coruscant to gather information for General Grievous. After Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine was informed of spies infiltrating the capital, he ordered the Coruscant Guard to intensify it's protection of the planet. Once the location of Selto was discovered, Palpatine sent Clone Commander CC-5869 "Stone" to establish a patrol of the underworld under his command. The Jedi High Council also took matters into their own hands by sending Jedi General Ria-Asan-Jiar and Jedi Commander Odessa Parfel to arrest Selto.

Reeva's Cantina
Jiar and Parfel traveled to the undercity aboard a LAAT/le patrol gunship. When they arrived, they let the Force guide them as they began their search. Jiar felt led to investigate several cantinas as she believed Selto was attempting to blend in. They were having no luck until they entered Reeva's Cantina, where Jiar began to question the owner Reeva San while Parfel searched the crowd. While eavesdropping, she overheard a Patrolian mention that he saw a suspicious looking Selkath walk into the bar earlier. Through the Force, Parfel could sense someone creeping behind her, so she turned around and activated her lightsaber. She saw Selto with a blaster pistol pointed at her, so she quickly severed his hand. Jiar overheard the commotion and went to help her Padawan until Selto ran out of the cantina. Jiar and Parfel walked out of the cantina, announcing to everyone that they were on Jedi business. Once they left the building, they began chasing after Selto.

Order 66
While on patrol, Commander Stone saw Jiar and Parfel chasing the Separatist fugitive and joined them in their pursuit. In the midst of their chase, Stone received a transmission from Chancellor Palpatine, which was secretly Order 66. Jiar and Parfel both paused as they felt a great disturbance in the Force in addition to overhearing Stone's secret transmission. Due to the behavioral inhibitor chip implanted in his brain, Stone renounced his allegiance to the Jedi and ordered his platoon of clone shock troopers to attack them, instantly surrounding and firing at them. Jiar and Parfel deflected the shock troopers' blaster fire and killed a few as they got closer. The clones eventually surrounded the two and overwhelmed them with blaster fire. Jiar used Force repulse to push back the clone troopers, giving her time to run away with her apprentice. As they attempted an escape, the clones began to recover and continued firing at the Jedi. Jiar decided to sacrifice herself after realizing that the clones wouldn't give up. She told Parfel to return to the Jedi Temple and warn the others. Parfel expressed her concern with leaving her as she felt it would be cowardice, but Jiar insisted that Parfel should escape as the last hope for the Jedi Order. Jiar urged her to run while she had the chance and Parfel complied. She ran away while witnessing Jiar attempt to fight off the remaining clones before being shot down.

Escape
After killing Jiar, Stone told his men to search for Parfel and kill her on sight. Parfel began searching for an escape craft and saw Selto frantically starting up a RGC-16 airspeeder. Due to the lost of his hand, he was having trouble starting up his airspeeder to which Parfel planned on taking advantage of. Full of rage and pain, Parfel allowed her emotions to get the best of her, killing Selto with her lightsaber even though it was against the Jedi Code. She stole his airpseeder and returned to the Jedi Temple as Jiar instructed. When she returned, she saw that everyone had been slaughtered already. All the members of the Jedi Council were gone, so she left the temple and went into hiding.
