Jaica waited with the other generals in the hangar bay as the final Force-sensitive clone was delivered. Whoever it was had not been specified, and it's appearance was obscured by alusteel protecting the Spaarti cloning cylinder. As Vader's gaze followed the contraption while it was lowered from the ship, Jaica found herself wishing she could see his facial reaction behind the mask.

But if Vader wanted her dead, he would have killed her already. "No," she thought, "Our leader sees something in this one,"
As the last of the alusteel was removed, the question was finally posed aloud: "Supreme Leader, what shall we do with her?"
Vader was silent, still contemplating his options. Then, after a moment, said "Release her,"
