"It has been years since I've bothered with a journal, but things are changing by the day it seems. It's strange, truly. For it feels like not so long ago that I devoted my entire life with a sense of purpose. I did not train the arts of the Force and the lightsaber for the sake of power. At least, not originally. After what happened on Qina, being the sole survivor of my unit was... rough."
[there's a long pause that followed before Rath's voice broke the silence.]
"I promised to myself that I will never allow anyone go through a tragedy like that again. Even if it meant that I had to learn and use any power bestowed upon me. But... I think somewhere along the way, I somehow had forgotten about what really drove me. Perhaps it was some form of propaganda or just surviving, but I think it was mostly due to myself wanting to forget. I wandered from battlefield to battlefield, a concept not unknown to most in wars, but something about the conflicts kept drawing me to them. Before I knew it, I was the one creating tragedies upon other worlds rather than preventing them. I was the Eternal Empire's Spear, the Dark Elite's Blade, and now..."
[the hologram of Rath's face shows him looking at something to the side, unseen by the recording.]
"Now I find myself answering the call for rebellion for the worlds plagued by tyranny. In the past, I've always been the blade for dark lords, empress, and the occasional crime lords. I know that this doesn't make up for the blood that taints the many soil, stone, and space dust. But, perhaps this time I will be the blade the Rebellion needs, not because of their decree or ambition. But because it's what she would've done."
