What a terrible turn of events, this is. After a lengthy period of absence, Chancellor Palpatine has made contact with the Galactic Senate via holofeed...only to declare himself leader of a new Empire! Stop him, we cannot do now, for Palpatine has threatened immediate death to anyone who dares challenge his authority. Bah-authority! Who gave that slimy son-of-a-bantha authority to turn the universe as we know it completely upside-down? Who gave him authority to do away with all the governments that beings have worked so hard to establish for their homeworlds? Who gave him authority to dissolve the Senate, & transfer all political power to Moraband-the cradle of Sith civilization?

Ah, well...It could be far worse, I suppose. At the very least, Palpatine has chosen not to exterminate the Jedi-a sigh of relief, I can breathe! I know not what the Emperor has planned for us, but if he continues to show such remarkable mercy on the Jedi, then all is not lost, & hope for the future, we may still have. Easy it may be to harbor suspicion of the Emperor's motivations for keeping the Jedi alive, but look a gift Ronto in the mouth, one should not. As uneasy as the thought of it makes me, I know that the Jedi will do anything & everything they can to remain in the Emperor's good graces...so that, ultimately, we may fulfill our purpose of serving the greater good by bringing peace, justice, & order back to the galaxy.

For now, however, an easy task this will not be. I hear talk that the Jedi will not remain totally unaffected by the "New Galactic Order", for Palpatine has some particular expectations that we are "strongly suggested" to live up to-expectations that will greatly hamper our aforementioned plans. Until a way around these obstacles we can find, we have very few options available to us. More & more each day, the possibility of galactic war grows likely...& if we are to have any hope of preserving the Republic, we simply cannot ignore that grim reality.

Going through the darkest period of its history, our galaxy is. Only one thing can save it...a miracle.
