Note 18

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine,

Your reign as the Supreme Chancellor has been successful thus far. I am glad that peace has been sustained.

Though the Jedi haven't had a large success in finding Sith records we have had minimal successes. We have uncovered a few data files in basic about Sith activity in the Outer Rim territories. Although, they mysteriously disappeared once we recovered them, but luckily the Jedi have photographic memories. Like you we have wondered about if the Sith have a language of their own. Of that possibility we are aware of. Some Jedi have a connection with the force so deep they can look at an object and interpret its meaning. In the case of the Maurders these data files confirm that the Sith have survived. There's no doubt among the Jedi that they are biding their time until they arise again.

Thank you for sending the probes across the galaxy. I wish you had alerted us sooner, but I can understand how busy you must be. We have sent a team to investigate that planet and I'm waiting for the information…wait what's this? Anakin just gave me a message. The Jedi team was attacked by an unknown source, luckily no one was seriously injured. Some suspect they were bounty hunters, but others think it may have been something more. I'll update you once we file an official report. Better to have all the facts than a few and best not to jump to conclusions. I will be sure to alert you once a full investigation is conducted. I think that the Jedi Council will send more Jedi to investigate the situation now.
