The Dark Guard Journals

History

The Dark Guard Journals, or DGJs, were a collection of writings by Davis Yoodum, nick named "Parla Raramente", who served as a Dark Guard in the clone wars, and was a member of the Imperial Royal Guard during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. They were found after the death of both Palpatine and Darth Vader in the building Yoodum had lived in during his time on Coruscant.

Contents

The journal entries contained Yoodum's thoughts, observations, and opinions he had during his time as a Dark Guard in the Clone Wars, and Imperial Royal Guard during the Galactic Civil War. The journal also contained a prologue and epilogue, also written by Yoodum, explaining the purpose of the journal entries.

Impact

Although the journals had little practical use, due to the time of their discovery, they made mention of events and ideas that Chancellor Palpatine had as far as the future Republic, and strongly hinted at his true allegiances and intentions that would become clear towards the waning weeks of the Clone Wars.
