Battle draws near, I can feel it. The blood in my veins is boiling hot, the bones in my body are aching as if I had been sitting still for way too long. The Force is raging through my body like a storm, preparing for something.
Dagobah has fallen. That was planned, though. The Grand Masters have evacuated the swamp planet’s academy weeks ago, anticipating the attack well before it happened. Good move, but not the best, if you ask me. I think we should have hidden our forces on a system close to Dagobah, and ambush the sith fleet while they were raiding the academy. We don’t know the exact size of the fleet, nor how much of their forces they sent down, and it would have been way too reckless to pull off safely. Maybe that’s why I’m not a Knight, yet.
But I still don’t see why we are putting so much effort and energy into one city. Not even the academy is located inside the city, it’s a bit farther to the south. Shouldn’t we be defending and reinforcing that? It definitely cannot hold as many civilians as Theed can, but if we could draw the enemy away from the city, they would be safe anyway. Are they coming for us or for the city, though? What would I do, if I were a Dark Lord of the Sith?
I really wish we had received more battle training and strategy lessons...
