Well, I seem to have missed placing this entry at the time I had intended. No matter, so long as it is in I assume that it will be of little consequence, especially if this will be read by people in the future. It will not appear to be late, or in any way out of alignment, that is the comfortable part about the future. The Past just tends to be dates and times no need to really think too deeply on their relationship to other dates and other times.
So, greetings. I have written this entry from aboard the Destiny. It is nice to be on the ship, though it doesn't have the same feel as the Recalcitrant. The ship feels strangely foreign, I assume that it is an illusion created by the fact that the ship is under the command of a very different man. I will not say names, though I doubt that he has much to fear based on his origin. The captain of this ship is hardly made of the material that command requires. He is a little too egocentric for my taste. As of yet he has not made a mistake wroth the punishment I wish to administer so I must wait. He is afraid of me, it is good, it has so far forced him to check and double check his work.
I know, I seem to have lost track of the purpose of these entries. But then, isn't the purpose of my campaign to allow people like the captain freedom to work as they wish without threat from the Jedi or Sith? It is a question and thought that have been plaguing my mind recently. If by destroying the Force, not literally of course, then I destroy the Jedi. Without the Jedi then where shall peace be found in this galaxy? That begs the question, are the Jedi the only way to peace on a galactic scale? The answer is of course no. They are simply the most convenient peace keepers. Without them the galaxy would have to discover its own ability to maintain peace. There would be wars and much destruction during that interval, but that is all it is an interval. It will come and go. I won't say that there will never be peace, there is no way to be sure. To say that there will or won't be at some point in the future a perfect and unbreakable peace would be to make an assumption relying on ones optimism or pessimism.
Either way, I question the motives of my plan. I feel that I am not impartial in the matter, as I have a distinct hatred towards the Sith and their empires. I hope that I am at least somewhat impartial, in that I do believe the Jedi are good just as much as the Sith are bad. I simply believe that the Sith are more harmful to the galaxy than the Jedi are helpful. The balance is not there, no matter how much the Jedi claim to balance they cannot maintain. At this point in time there is no peace that will come in the foreseeable future. The galaxy is too split and racked with infighting to become a united place. I recall reading some minor fictitious novel, set millennia ago, in which a galaxy of an almost equally fractured state is brought together in the fear of some force outside their galaxy. The writer did not make that the overall story arc, in fact it was a twist ending that I found all too prophetic.
We have had wars with outside forces from other galaxies before. The Yuuzhan Vong are a prime example. They have come from another galaxy in which they exterminated all life. The came and tried to destroy this galaxy's life as well. We are fortunate to have survived and been able to fight back the species to the point where their threat is relatively minimal. They are only an example of what is possible, we simply don't know what is out there. The Outbound Project tried to reach beyond our stars and that did not turn out well. If the galaxy of the Yuuzhan can create such a violent people, how can we be sure that there are not other galaxies with people who make the Yuuzhan appear to be nothing more than Womp Rats and us along with them.
I do not know whether or not there are forces out there that could wipe us out. I, at this point, have no need to even think about them. My concern is uniting this galaxy as best as I can. For that the Jedi, Sith, and the Force will have to go. There is no way around it... is there? I do not know, I feel conflicted I feel that I am betraying trust. I will probably be called a monster... am I one? Am I nothing more than a delusional man who has the power to enforce his delusions on the universe around him? I guess I am somewhat lost. I can't turn to my friends, or those I look up to. I am trapped in a bubble that will not be broken until it is too late to ask if I have done wrong...
