Dark Guard Journals: Entry 12

"I was wrong. That's all that I can say. I believed that the Empire would be able to recover the Death Star schematics, but they weren't. The rebels escaped with the plans, and launched a large assault on the space station as it approached their base on Yavin 4. Despite eliminating most of the rebel fighters, one was able to slip through, and found a way to destroy the emperor's ultimate weapon. Although the Empire was able to force the rebels to flee from Yavin 4, and have been chasing them across the galaxy, the fact that they won such a major victory against us is concerning. The rebel forces have been tracked to Hoth, however, and the Empire will be launching an assault on their base very soon. The rebels must be defeated, destroyed completely, or they'll never stop pestering us. I wish I was able to participate in the invasion itself, but I've already been told I have other duties that I'll be taking care of during the invasion. This invasion is important, and if it fails to capture the rebel leaders, I doubt anyone in the Empire will be willing to say we've made any progress against them at all."
