ABY 6
The destruction of Ord Mantell weighs heavy in my heart, for I have felt it keenly through the ever-present Force. Even I did not see the surprise attack of the Empire before it was too late, a testimant to how strongly the ballance has shifted so strongly toward the Dark Side. I must keep myself focused from here on out, for only in such a way will I change my destiny. My fears grow for my own home planet of Dorin, for it is not only the place of my family and loved ones. It is also the only planet on which I may walk without this breath mask and eye goggles, safe from suffocation and blindness from the toxic, oxygen-rich atmosphere that surrounds me.
I know that the time for action is now. We cannot sit around and make plans, but rather burst into action as soon as possible. Indeed, it is not in the future that great change is required; it is in the present, that most lucid of times where it is impossible to predict what will truly happen. Reading the future can be easy, simple, for the events that are in the past sometimes set a path in stone for the short term, but in the present nothing is certain. It is a basic lesson all of the Baran Do are taught, myself no different. I simply hope that my superiors in the Alliance can understand the wisdom behind those words and get to the necessary decisive action before it is too late...
