From the Personal Journal of Vall Juridian, Jedi Knight
Entry Date: 20:2:27 BBY (Year Two of the War)
Location: Christophsis Siege Lines
I’ve stopped wearing robes in the field. The clones say it makes me blend better with the terrain, but the truth is, the robes feel like a lie now. Armor is honest—it says exactly what you are and what you’re prepared to do.
The siege on Christophsis is grinding both armies into dust. The civilians are starving. I’ve diverted rations from our supply lines when I can, but command keeps tightening the numbers. The Republic wants this world intact for its shipyards, but at this pace, the people will be too broken to care.
A young Padawan, barely sixteen, arrived with a relief unit. She looked at me like I was the image of what a Jedi should be. I avoided her gaze. She hasn’t yet learned that war eats away at ideals long before it takes your life.
—Vall Juridian, Jedi Knight, Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic
