* Anti-Sith Assault Team

Colonel Tyler Hall, a human male, is a former member of the United States Army's Delta Force, and a current member of the Anti-Sith Assault Team. Born in North Dakota, Hall commissioned into the US Army after graduating from Army ROTC, and joined the Rangers, and later the Delta Force. He was inducted into the ASAT team when it was first formed, and although he saw no combat during the Terran campaign, he was the first member of the team to be deployed in combat in the Andromeda Galaxy following the Terran campaign.

## Biography

### Early Life

Tyler Hall was born in the city of Bismarck, North Dakota, on March 11, 1964. At the age of 18, he attended college at Boise State University, where he graduated in 1986, having completed the school's Army ROTC program. He commissioned into the Army, and applied to join the Rangers in late 1987. He completed his Ranger training in 1988.

In August 1989, Hall proposed to his then girlfriend, Lacy Emerson. A few months later, in January 1990, he was selected for the Delta Force. He completed his formal training in early August, and he and Lacy were married a few weeks after his training was finished.

Hall was deployed to Iraq for Operation Desert Storm, where he conducted several combat missions.

### Anti-Sith Assault Team career

#### Induction and Training

When the Republic arrived on Terra in October 1991, an agreement was reached to train a team of 12 individuals in lightsaber combat to serve as protection against the Sith until a Terran Jedi Order could be raised.

In early December, the team was officially formed. Given his great skill at unarmed combat and his impeccable personal history, Hall was chosen to join the team. He was one of the youngest officers on the team. In the initial meeting after the official formation of the team, Hall picked a blue lightsaber.

Along with the rest of the team, Hall began training with Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, and master swordsmen from across Earth. Unlike many of his teammates, Hall preferred using agility and technique over pure strength and power. He also mastered the art of blocking blaster bolts with his lightsaber better than any other member of the team. Along with the other members of the team, he received flight training so that he could pilot a small starship or starfighter.

When the Separatists attacked Terra and the Terran campaign began, Hall was stationed in California. However, due to the performance of American aircraft, all Separatist forces that landed in California were destroyed before they could attack any American cities or ground forces.

#### 2nd Battle of Geonosis

After the end of the Terran campaign, Hall, on executive order from the Terran Joint Command, was promoted to the rank of Colonel. Soon after, Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi received orders to make their way to Geonosis, where they would help Ki Adi Mundi recapture the planet and destroy new droid factories nearing completion on the planet. Hall received orders to accompany them to Geonosis, where he would command 5,000 men from the 101st Airborne Division's 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team.

Upon arriving at Geonosis, Hall led 1,000 of his troops down to the planet's surface on the UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters provided by the 101st, with the job to fight their way to the rendezvous just short of the energy shield protecting the main factory.

Upon reaching the planet's surface, Hall ordered the helicopter pilots to fly as low as physically possible to the ground. This order enabled them to get past Geonosian fire and reach their landing site with the loss of only two Black Hawks, as well as two Apache attack helicopters clearing enemy resistance.

Once on the ground, Hall led his troops down a canyon towards the designated rendezvous point, while ordering some of Black Hawks and Apaches to go and reinforce Skywalker, who had been shot down short of their landing site.

As Hall and the men of the 101st made their way down the canyon, they ran into stiff Geonosian and droid resistance, with many of the Geonosians and droids holed up in the walls of the canyon. After the Americans were pinned down for several minutes, Hall led two soldiers towards several AAT droid tanks. Using his lightsaber, Hall cut open the hatches of two of them and destroyed the other two. The American soldiers then commandeered the first two AATs and used their main cannons to eliminate the main pockets of resistance, allowing accompanying Apache helicopters to eliminate the remaining resistance.

Hall led his troops out of the canyon, and immediately took them towards Kenobi's landing site. The American troops arrived right as some A-10 Warthogs finished strafing Separatist forces attacking Kenobi and his forces. They, along with Mundi's forces, drove off the remaining Separatist forces.

Once all the landing forces had all made the rendezvous, Hall and 12 Delta Force commandos that arrived after the Separatist were driven off accompanied Skywalker, Captain Rex, and three clones through the energy shield to attack the shield generator. Hall and Skywalker together disabled the droids defending the generator, as well as their scanners, enabling AT-TEs to come in and destroy the generator.

A few hours after the destruction of the shield generator, Hall participated in a briefing with Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and the newly arrived Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. After Luminara proposed that the Padawans infiltrate and destroy the factory while she, Skywalker, and Hall distracted the Geonosians with their main forces, Hall sent one his Delta Force officers, 1st Lieutenant Nathan Allen, to accompany the two Padawans.

Hall, along with Skywalker and Luminara, led the clones and American troops in a frontal attack against the factory, drawing the droids out. Hall used both his lightsaber and blaster pistol, as well as serving as the forward air controller to guide Apache attack helicopters to provide needed close air support.

When the Geonosians unleashed their new super tanks, Hall contacted Admiral Yularen to send A-10s to attack the super tanks. Hall took shelter behind boulders with other American troops until the A-10s arrived and destroyed the super tanks.

Almost immediately after the super tanks were destroyed, charges set by Ahsoka, Barriss, and Allen expldoed, destroying the factory's reactor, and thereby the factory. Hall called in some Chinooks to help lift debris away to get to Allen and the two Padawans. After Ahsoka sent a signal to Skywalker, he and Luminara used the Force to lift all the debris free, allowing an American Jolly Green Giant helicopter to get them out of the rubble and to safety. As the helicopter took them away, Hall counseled Skywalker on learning to be able to let go, and Luminara on not giving up on her Padawan.

After the destruction of the factory, Hall helped Skywalker and Luminara coordinate the occupation of the planet, as well as continue to search for Poggle the Lesser. A sandstorm forced Hall, as well as the rest of the Republic and Terran forces, to remain in their ships. While taking shelter in Republic ships, Hall and some of the American soldiers told war stories from Operation Desert Storm to some interested clones.

When the news that Luminara had possible been captured at the Prograte Temple came in, Hall joined Kenobi and Skywalker in a rescue mission, bringing with him several Deltas.

When the rescue team reached the temple, they quickly realized Luminara had been captured, and headed down into the catacombs below the temple, suspecting that a suspected Geonosian queen might be behind it. There the team realized that the catacombs were filled with undead Geonosian warriors.

After escaping an encounter with the Geonosian zombies, Kenobi sent two clones back up to the surface to send out a warning. Hall ordered two Deltas to accompany them. The four of them were ambushed on their way, and the two Deltas held off the Geonosian zombies until Hall and the others arrived to help them.

Hall, Kenobi, and Skywalker decided to go deeper to try and find Luminara, and the suspected Geonosian queen. They soon found Queen Karina the Great's throne room, and Kenobi convinced Skywalker and Hall to walk straight in and speak with the queen to determine her reasoning for capturing Luminara.

Hall allowed Kenobi to do the talking in the meeting with Queen Karina. However, when Kenobi gave the order, Skywalker reclaimed their lightsabers and returned Hall's to him. Hall cut apart several Geonosian zombies before seizing Poggle the Lesser. Hall then quickly escorted Poggle out of the chamber before the clones and Deltas brought the chamber down.

Hall helped escort Poggle to the ship that would take him to Coruscant. Then, Kenobi delivered the news that Mace Windu's forces on Dantooine were in need of medical supplies. Skywalker volunteered Ahsoka and Offee to make a supply run to a medical station to get the supplies Windu needed, and Hall offered to join them.

After the ship took off, Hall made his way to the mess hall and into the kitchen, where he met the ship's cook, a clone nicknamed Zulu. Hall engaged in pleasant conversation about cooking and other things about each other while Hall took the time to cook a couple of fish fairly similar to salmon.

As Hall finished cooking the fish, Ahsoka and Barriss arrived in the mess hall. Hall served the fish he had just cooked, and the three had an in depth conversation, with Hall sharing some thoughts with the two Padawans on how to deal with war and how to enjoy the peace, sharing experiences he had from his time in the Rangers and Delta Force.

As the three were talking, two clones, Ox and Edge, walked into the mess hall. Instead of answering greetings from the Padawans, the two clones pulled their blasters on the three. Acting on his trained instinct, Hall killed one of the clones instantly, and Ahsoka knocked out the second.

The noise drew the attention of two more clones, Commander Trap and Havoc. As soon as they entered, Hall and the two Padawans pulled their lightsabers on them. Trap and Havoc set down their blasters to prove they meant no harm.

Realizing something was wrong, Hall decided they needed to make sure the bridge stayed in their hands. Leaving Havoc behind to watch the unconscious Edge, he led Ahsoka, Barris, and Trap towards the bridge.

Nearing the bridge, they ran into a ray shield. As Barriss attempted to deactivate, Hall sensed Trap pulling out his blaster, and in one quick movement, disarmed Trap and threw him over his shoulder. His fear was confirmed when a Geonosian brain worm, which he had already seen in action in Queen Karina's throne room, came out of Trap's mouth. Hall pulled out the brain worm and crushed it under his boot as he knocked out Trap.

Hall led the two Padawans towards the communications room, only for them to run into a group of controlled clones putting another clone under control using the brain worms. Hall ordered that they separate, sending Ahsoka and Barriss up into the air ducts while he led the clones away while trying to outrun them.

Hall ducked briefly into the mess hall, where he ran into Zulu, who had not yet been taken control of. Hall ordered Zulu to remain hidden before leaving the mess hall again.

Hall again headed for the communications room. There, he found Barriss, now under mind control, attacking Ahsoka, and knocked Barriss out with a taser he carried. Hall led Ahsoka away, but Barriss quickly woke up and followed them. Hall sent Ahsoka on ahead and engaged Barriss in a lightsaber duel to keep her from chasing Ahsoka.

Hall's duel with Barriss lasted for several minutes before Ahsoka succeeded in rupturing the cooling system, causing coolant to leak all over the ship. Hall then broke off the duel and led Barriss towards a pipe that he cut in two and aimed the blasting cold right at her, forcing the brain worm in her head to come out, allowing Hall to pull it out and crush it in his fist. Hall then took Barriss to the bridge, where Ahsoka was waiting, and sat in the bridge to try and keep the two Padawans warm until they reached the medical station, where Kit Fisto and a number of clones boarded the ship and took them aboard the medical station. There, he was surprised with a thermos of hot chocolate from Kenobi, who had brought a large stash of hot chocolate from Terra.

Hall was given several days to recover, then deployed to help Mace Windu and his ASAT colleague Colonel Dennis Rommel capture Dantooine. Once the battle ended on February 2, Hall returned to Coruscant.

#### Fatherhood

In mid February, Hall was ordered back to Terra, due to the fact his wife, Lacy, had discovered she was pregnant, and the Joint Terran Command decided to allow him to be with his wife for her pregnancy. Hall returned to Terra immediately, with Colonel Han replacing him on Coruscant.

Hall spent the next several months in the United States with his wife until, on June 7, his wife gave birth to a daughter. Hall, over the moon at becoming a father, was given over two more months at home with his new daughter before, in mid November, was ordered back to the Andromeda Galaxy.

Hall was again stationed on Coruscant. He was on planet when Cad Bane and his bounty hunters seized the Senate building. Hall's comrade, Colonel White, led a rescue mission before Hall even learned of the situation.

#### Breaking the Zygerrians

In mid August, 1993, the Terran Joint Command was informed of a situation in the Andromeda Galaxy in which Togruta colonists on the world of Kiros had been kidnapped and enslaved by the Zygerrians, an alien race notorious for their history as slavers. The TJC also was informed Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex had been captured by the Zyggerians.

A rescue mission was immediately ordered. Hall and his former Delta Force comrade, Colonel Wilson, were assigned to lead a 32-man Delta Force strike team to rescue Kenobi, Skywalker, Ahsoka and Rex, as well as the captured Togruta colonists. Hall and Wilson took 20 of the Deltas to Zygerria, while leaving the other 12 on a ship in a neighboring system to be sent to free the colonists once they'd been located.

After arriving on Zygerria, the strike team split up into fireteams of four or five in order to make it to the palace with less risk of being spotted. Hall led his team straight to the palace and up the side of it until they found where Ahsoka Tano had been placed in a cage hanging over the edge of the palace. Hall climbed up on the cage and used his lightsaber to cut a hole in the top of the cage large for Ahsoka to climb through it. Hall and his fireteam then escorted Ahsoka back to the ship she and the others used to reach Zygerria, while other fireteams rescued Skywalker.

Once all the fireteams, along with Ahsoka and Skywalker, got off world, they made their way to the planet Kadavo, after hearing from the Zygerrian queen that Kadavo was where Kenobi, Rex, and the Togruta colonists were being held. Hall and Wilson led the Deltas into the facility and successfully located the Togrutas. They helped escort the Togrutas out of the facility, where they were picked up by CH-47 Chinooks and taken aboard the *TAS Invincible*.

After the Togrutas were returned to their homeworld, Hall and Wilson, along with their team, made their way back to Zygerria, where they helped secure the Terran hold over the planet in the end of the Battle of Zygerria.

#### Jedi Temple bombing

On October 1, 1993, Hall, along with Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, was part of a task force assigned to repel Separatist forces from the planet of Cato Neimoidia. Hall took part in the initial air battle, flying an SF-15 Space Eagle. Hall successfully shot down two droid tri-fighters, and strafed droid surfaces on the surface with his laser cannons.

However, not long after the battle began, Yoda contacted the fleet, ordering Skywalker, Tano, and Hall back to Coruscant in response to a bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar. Hall and the two Jedi immediately set off for Coruscant.

Upon reaching the Temple, Hall, Skywalker, and Ahsoka were ordered to take part in the investigation, working alongside an FBI team currently on Coruscant. Hall and Skywalker assisted the investigation team with gathering evidence, while Ahsoka worked the head of the FBI team, Agent Alfred Fitzgerald, to interview witnesses.

After Ahsoka and Fitzgerald got a name of a suspect from a witness, they gave the name, Jakar Bowmani, to Skywalker and Hall, who took it outside the Temple to Jedi Master Cin Drallig to alert him. Bowmani's wife, Letta Turmond, saw the photo Skywalker showed Drallig and identified herself as Bowmani's wife. Skywalker and Hall took her into the Temple where they questioned her for any helpful information.

The FBI team soon discovered evidence that the bomb was made of nano droids. They also discovered Bowmani's dismembered hand, covered in nano droids. Realizing Bowmani was the bomb, Hall and Skywalker, accompanied by Ahsoka and Fitzgerald, went to Bowmani's house to search for evidence. There, they found evidence Bowmani had ingested the nano droids. They also found Turmond, who tried to escape from them. Fitzgerald stopped her with a taser, and the team took her back to the Jedi Temple.

When they arrived back at the temple, Hall received word that his grandfather has passed away, and he had been ordered back to Terra so he could support his family. Hall left immediately, and was replaced his team leader, Captain Samuel Adams.

#### Chasing Fives

Hall returned to Coruscant shortly after his grandfather's funeral. On November 8, ARC trooper Fives was brought back to Coruscant to have a meeting with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. However, Fives supposedly snapped and attempted to assassinate Palpatine.

Hall took part in a briefing with Anakin Skywalker and members of the Jedi Council regarding the situation. However, despite the information presented, Hall believed Fives was being framed or set up. Also feeling that Fives could potentially be a vital source of information on Chancellor Palpatine, Hall contacted General Colin Powell, Joint Chairman of the Terran Joint Command. After sharing his suspicions with Powell, Hall proposed sending the newly organized Zulu Force to bring Fives in.

Hall accompanied Skywalker on the hunt for Fives. However, thanks to a report from clone trooper Kix that reached Hall, who passed it on to the Zulu Force, two Zulu Force commandos, Captain Allen and Captain Ivry, were able to seize Fives first and get him off Coruscant.

When Hall broke the news of what was being done with Fives, he was brought before Palpatine to explain this. Hall, keeping the true motivation secret, played it off as just being concerned for Fives, given they had served together before and he knew Fives to be reliable, as well as the belief that American doctors would be able to help Fives recover from his supposed nervous breakdown. After convincing Palpatine of the truth, Hall set off for Terra.

#### Battle for Anaxes

After spending a few days on Terra speaking to Fives and the Terran Joint Command, Hall returned to the Andromeda Galaxy.

Initially, Hall remained on Coruscant. However, early during the Battle for Anaxes, his teammate, Colonel John White, was wounded, and Hall was sent to take his place.

Almost a month after arriving on Anaxes, Hall was present was Cody and Rex proposed a mission with a small squad behind Separatist lines to destroy the Separatist Cyber Center. Hall volunteered to go with them, and called in a small team of Zulu Force commandos to join the mission.

Hall was assigned to lead the strike team, which included Cody and Rex, Jesse, Kix, the four Zulu Force commandos, and the Bad Batch. After the team had assembled, they boarded an LAAT and headed for the Cyber Center.

On the way to the Cyber Center, the gunship was shot down by spider droids. Everyone on board survived except the pilot, although Cody was badly injured after being pinned under the wreckage. After the team got him out, Crosshair spotted incoming battle droids.

The Bad Batch, ignoring Rex' suggestion, charged the incoming droids. Seeing their charge, Hall ordered the four Zulus to attack as well. The Bad Batch and the four Zulus quickly wiped out the droids. Once the droids were destroyed, Hall ordered that the team move out immediately to avoid reinforcements he felt certain were on their way.

By nightfall, the team had found a place to rest briefly, and Hall had called in MEDEVAC helicopters to pick up Cody. While taking a brief rest, the Bad Batch and the other clones got into a heated argument. When it reached a climax, Wrecker attempted to grab Jesse by the throat, causing Hall to draw his lightsaber in order to keep the Bad Batch and other clones separate and stop the fight.

Hall soon led the team on towards their target. By morning, they had reached an outpost near the Cyber Center. Hall led the strike team in taking the outpost before moving on to the Cyber Center.

Hall sent Crosshair to hide in the ridges surrounding the Cyber Center to operate as fire support, and the rest of the Bad Batch were sent around to sneak in from the back. Hall then led Rex, Jesse, and the four Zulus in attacking the front of the Cyber Center. Hall and his six men destroyed all the droids guarding the front of the Cyber Center. They made their way into the Center, and Hall sent the Zulus and Jesse to set demolition charges while he took Rex into the control room. In the control room, Tech, using information Hall gave him, was able to trace the Separatist's prediction algorithm to Skako Minor. Hall led the team out of the Center, and on their way out, he blew the charges to destroy the Cyber Center.

Upon returning to Republic territory, Hall proposed a mission to Skako Minor to destroy whatever facility was supporting the Separatist campaign. The mission was approved by Mace Windu, and Hall's comrade, Colonel Cheng Han, was selected to lead the mission.

Hall remained on Anaxes and continued to lead the Terran forces in the defense of the planet. However, only a day after Colonel Han left for Skako Minor, Hall received a message from Read Admiral Gary Roughead that the UH-60 Black Hawk carrying Han and half of the strike team had been shot down on its way back to the Star Destroyer *Dauntless*, and the *Dauntless* had been forced to retreat. Hall immediately passed the report on to General Colin Powell.

Hours later, Hall approached Windu and Skywalker, demanding to know if a rescue mission had been initiated by the Republic, knowing that the Terran Starfleet would not be able to get to Skako Minor in time. Windu said that the Republic would not initiate a rescue mission until the Senate approved it, and that they would have to wait for the Senate to decide.

Hall was frustrated with the decision. Within an hour, he contacted Captain Adams, asking about Han and the downed team. Adams said that Admiral Robert Kelly had said the Terran Starfleet would not be able to get task force to Skako Minor for 8 days. Adams then said was preparing to go speak to Senator Padme Amidala and Senator Bail Organa regarding the two Senators proposing a rescue mission in the Senate.

After cutting off the transmission with Adams, Hall had to leave the Republic base to lead a strike on droid lines near the main production facility, which was only guarded by a few Saudi Arabian troops at the time. Hall's assault lasted only an hour, and successfully stopped the droids from taking the facility, but at heavy cost to his men.

Upon returning to the main Republic base, Hall, along with Windu and Skywalker, received a message from Master Yoda that a rescue mission was on its way to Skako Minor. They received another message from Yoda just a few hours later that Colonel Han and the rest of his team still alive had been rescued.

Within a day after the rescue of Colonel Han, the situation on Anaxes had continued to deteriorate, but the Terran Alliance had sent reinforcements to the planet. Hall presented a plan to Jedi Generals on Anaxes. His plan was for him and Anakin Skywalker to lead a team to Admiral Trench's flagship to take out Trench, while sending SB-1B bombers to five battlefronts on Anaxes to drop nuclear weapons on the droids, and sending more SB-1Bs to three other battlefronts to conduct carpet bombing attacks against the droids, and sending Mace Windu and Obi Wan Kenobi to lead the American 101st Airborne Division and the Russian 4th Guards Tank Division to attack and retake the main production facility.

Hall and Skywalker formed a strike team that comprised the Bad Batch, Rex, Echo, Captain Nathan Allen of the Zulu Force, and a CIA agent named Alexander Bennet. The team took the Bad Batch's ship into orbit, and Agent Bennet used a special suit he was wearing to hack into Separatist systems and convinced them that they were a Separatist shuttle.

The team, after boarding Trench's flagship, made their way to the comms vault on the ship, where Agent Bennet was able to hack into the Separatist database. Bennet informed the team that the Terran and Republic forces had begun their assaults, but he had also found evidence of a massive bomb hidden under the main assembly complex. Hall and Skywalker immediately left the commvs vault to find the bridge and get Trench to tell them how to disarm the bomb.

Upon arriving on the bridge, Hall and Skywalker destroyed the commando droids protecting Trench, and demanded Trench give them the sequence to disarm the bomb. Trench initially refused, and expressed skepticism at Skywalker when the Skywalker threatened him, due to Skywalker being a Jedi. Hall responded by cutting off Trench's cybernetic arms with his lightsaber, and informed Trench he was not a Jedi, and he had no problem with killing Trench, or torturing him to get the information he needed.

Realizing Hall was serious, Trench gave in and surrendered the information. Skywalker contacted Mace Windu and gave him the information. As Windu finished disarming the bomb, Trench attempted to attack Skywalker, but Hall stepped in and killed Trench by driving his lightsaber through Trench's chest. Hall and Skywalker then set up a self destruct sequence on the ship before returning to their team and fleeing the ship. By the time they reached the surface of Anaxes, the rest of the Separatist armies were on the run, and the battle was nearly over.

Hall spent nearly a month on Anaxes after the battle ended. When he finally left the planet, he joined a fleet led by Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi that had been tasked with tracking down Count Dooku.

#### Battle of Coruscant

For several months, Hall, along with Lieutenant Colonel Toshiyuki Yamazaki, journeyed with Skywalker and Kenobi in an effort to find Count Dooku.

On May 23, the Separatist Navy launched a massive attack on Coruscant. Both Hall and Yamazaki were present when the news was received, and the Open Circle Fleet immediately set off for Coruscant.

A day later, the Open Circle Fleet arrived over Coruscant. As the fleet's *Venator* class Star Destroyers began engaging the Separatist fleet, Hall got into his personal Su-36 Flanker and followed Keno and Skywalker in their Eta-2 interceptors on a mission to board General Grievous flagship, the *Invisible Hand*, and rescue Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. During the flight to the ship, Hall led the 16 pilots of the 69th Fighter Squadron in fending off Vulture droids.

Once Hall, Kenobi, and Skywalker made it aboard the *Invisible Hand*, they made their way to the observation platform where Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was being held. Despite problems along the way, all three of them made it to the observation platform.

Upon arriving on the observation platform and finding Palpatine, the three of them found themselves faced with Count Dooku. Skywalker and Kenobi immediately engaged Dooku in a lightsaber duel, while Hall gunned down the battle droids that accompanied Dooku.

As the duel progressed, Dooku threw Kenobi into a railing, then brought a platform down on him. Skywalker, in anger, kicked Dooku off the platform they were fighting on. As Dooku hit the ground, Hall ignited his lightsaber and attacked him.

Hall and Dooku fought for nearly half a minute before Dooku managed to kick Hall's leg out from under him before attempting to attack him while he was on the ground. Anakin, angered at Dooku for nearly killing Hall, attacked him again, and soon was able to cut off Dooku's hands and take his lightsaber. Palpatine then urged Skywalker to kill Dooku. Hall attempted to convince Skywalker not to and just to take Dooku prisoner, but Skywalker gave into Palpatine's urgings, causing Hall further suspicion of Palpatine.

Skywalker freed Palpatine, then grabbed the unconscious Kenobi. They made their over to the elevator. However, while attempting to board it, the *TAS Invincible* attacked the *Invisible Hand*, damaging it and causing it to dive towards Coruscant. Hall, Anakin, and Palpatine were forced to climb into the elevator shaft and run down it towards their intended floor. However, as they did so, the droids were able to right the ship, causing them to fall down the shaft. However, they were able to stop themselves and make it out of the shaft.

While attempting to reach the hangar bay, they were trapped by ray shields, and were then taken by battle droids. All of them were taken to the bridge, where Grievous taunted and threatened them.

Hall, tired of Grievous, removed the binders the droids had put on him and lunged at Grievous, jumping up and wrapping an arm around Grievous' head, then using his weight to pull Grievous to the ground. Hall then retrieved his lightsaber, as well as Kenobi's and Skywalker's, and returned the Jedi's sabers to them. Hall then engaged one of Grievous' Magnaguards, quickly defeating it by deflecting a blow and then cutting it in half.

Hall, along Kenobi and Skywalker, then attempted to corner Grievous, but Grievous evaded them by destroying the viewport, which caused him to be sucked out. The others were able to hold onto railing and keep themselves inside the bridge until shields could be put over the open viewport.

With the damage the ship had sustained, it began to fall to Coruscant. Hall, along with the others, took seats at control consoles and attempted to guide the ship to a safe landing. They were not able to prevent a crash landing, but all of them survived the landing unscathed.

Hall, along with Kenobi and Skywalker, escorted Palpatine back to the Senate building. Once they reached the Senate building, Hall was met by Captain Adams. Hall warned Adams of Palpatine's suspicious actions on the *Invisible Hand*. Adams took note of the report, and ordered Hall to return to the Jedi Temple.

#### Rise of the Empire

For the next two months after the Battle of Coruscant, Hall remained on Coruscant and waited for his next mission, while continuing to train at the Jedi Temple. About a month into that time, Hall was present for Anakin being appointed to the Jedi Council without being made a Jedi Master, and attempted to calm Skywalker down.

In July, Hall was finally ordered off planet. He was picked up by the *TAS Sentinel*, which took him out to the Outer Rim to help search for the Separatist Council.

The *Sentinel* was near Zygerria when Palpatine issued Order 66. When the Terran Joint Command received news of the slaughter of the Jedi, as well as Terran forces attempting to defend them, they ordered the *Sentinel* to Coruscant, where Hall would lead the 200 special operations soldiers aboard the *Sentinel* in a raid to retake the Jedi Temple.

Upon the *Sentinel* arriving over Coruscant, Hall led his men down to the surface. The following morning, the strike force launched an attack on the Temple, sending men disguised as clones past the guards in order to catch them in a pincer movement. Hall joined the fight with his lightsaber, and the strike force wiped out the clones outside the Temple with no casualties.

Almost immediately after the last clone was killed, Colonel Rommel arrived along with Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Hall ran to them and embraced Rommel in reunion, then led them as part of the strike force to continue the liberation of the Temple.

Hall led Rommel, Kenobi, Yoda, and a team of commandos to search for survivors. During their search, a SEAL named Lieutenant Pratt sent him a transmission, requesting that he come to the security room.

Upon the group reaching the security room, Pratt showed them a security recording that showed Anakin Skywalker as the one who led the attack. Hall was furious at Skywalker, briefly losing his composure from anger. He quickly calmed himself, and then accepted Rommel's assignment to accompany Kenobi to find and kill Skywalker.

Hall, along with two members of the Zulu Force and a SEAL, took a shuttle and followed Padmé Amidala's ship to Mustafar. Once they reached Mustafar, Hall found Skywalker choking Amidala with the Force because of anger, and fired his blaster at Skywalker from the shuttle before he and his men jumped down onto the landing platform.

Hall and Kenobi then engaged in a fierce lightsaber duel that carried through the Separatist facility on Mustafar and onto the lava river that ran beside the facility. At one point, Hall requested one of the two Zulus with him give him his armor, so that he could continue to pursue Skywalker.

Eventually, Hall and Kenobi were able to beat Skywalker by Kenobi leaping off a platform over the lava river onto the bank, enticing Skywalker to leap into the air to give chase, giving Hall the chance to fly in and cut off Skywalker's remaining organic limbs. Hall then urged Kenobi to follow him back to Amidala's ship so they could get her aid, leaving Skywalker burning on the bank of the lava river.

Hall then made his way to Polis Masa with Kenobi, escorting Padme Amidala there so she could receive medical treatment. Upon arrival on the asteroid, Hall was present for the birth of Luke and Leia Skywalker, and the death of Padmé Amidala. Immediately after Amidala's death, Hall was informed by Echo that Anakin Skywalker had survived. Hall made his way out of the medical wing before screaming in anger.

Hours after this, Hall was present for a meeting with Adams, Rommel, Kenobi, Yoda, Bail Organa, and Ahsoka Tano, where the fate of the Skywalker children and course of action of the Terran Alliance and surviving Jedi were decided. Following this meeting, Hall and the other two members of the ASAT team present, as well as Ahsoka Tano and several clones, left and rendezvoused with the Terran Starfleet near Teth. Once they arrived, the Starfleet retreated to Terra with all remaining Terran forces in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Upon returning to Terra, Hall returned home to spend time with his family while continuing his training regiment. A month after returning to Terra, Hall was present for a meeting of the entire ASAT team, the first such meeting since the end of 1991, where the entire team swore an oath to see the downfall of the Empire and the Sith.
