I slid the ID into the slot on the side of the computer and watched it boot up. There was no mouse available to me, just an unmarked keyboard that the robot taught me how to use.

I tentatively pressed a few buttons and observed the slight changes in the screen. Good. Yes. I can probably do that.

What I want is information. It's not much, but it would be nice to know a little bit about the place. By now, the words and terms have come to my mind, and I really hope that doesn't happen again. My real first question is what exactly is an empire. I mean, yes, it seems like a great thing so far, but even then I wonder how it's prescribed, how long it's been around, if people are doing well... Things like that.

I started to explore more, eventually finding what seemed to be a historical record of "the recent formation of the Galactic Empire". The date is... Seven standard years ago? Yes? So...... Is the empire really young? Spooky. Not what I expected. How did this happen? Oh wait, it says right here!

"Three years after the start of the Clone Wars

...", a rebellion led by Jedi Master Yoda was reported...",

"Supreme Speaker Palpatine was attacked in his room

...", "The corrupt and stagnant republic underwent reforms..."

Sacred childlike powder. That's-, well, uh. Before I make any comments on this, I'm just... What exactly is a republic? And - and the Clone Wars? Hmmm....

It seems that the republic was strong for a thousand years before it was reformed into an empire. Wow. A thousand years... Many years. It apparently existed before that, but the last thousand years are considered the best period when there were no major wars, and the last

real large-scale war was when the "Neo-Sithian War" took place about a thousand years ago. There are only a few details about the Novosith War, but Husi formed an army called the Dark Brotherhood before going to war with the Legion of Light, which consisted of thousands of Jedi.

Thousands of Jedi. Jedi Knight!

... Evil space wizards? ...

In other words, the republic took advantage of the evil space wizards. Well. Looking at several other articles, the Jedi seem to act as their executors. Make sure their will is taken to every corner of the galaxy. By the end of the Clone Wars, they had a total of 10,000 people? What the? How - well, well

. Let's consider the entire "army of evil space wizards" later. I need to know what the hell happened to the Jedi. They can't all be killed at once, can they? That would be... It's a little scary, but it's also a relief. Both at the same time.

Let's see here....

The Clone War, secretly orchestrated by the Jedi, with the aim of overthrowing the rule of the Senate and the Supreme Speaker, slowly weakened the power of the Jedi. Not enough, but a little.

... What the Jedi don't know, however, is that the clones used in the Clone Wars (which... Is it moral? Actually all along the way, just following the orders of the Jedi so that they could turn the tide for a moment at the end. So, after the four Jedi Masters tried to attack and kill the Supreme Speaker, the order was issued, allowing the clones to attack their Jedi slave masters. Not all Jedi were killed, and some fled like rats, but it was enough for the Empire to gain the upper hand without much resistance.

Well. It feels strange here. I can't quite point it out;

Jedi are powerful, right? So, why was the prime minister able to survive the attack of the four masters?

Spooky. Maybe it's not good for him to convince them that they are trying to take over the galaxy? Maybe. He looks like a good enough lad.

I don't deny the fact that Huan Force users are still weaponized. I mean – the Jedi are pretty much used as space cops, which isn't a good thing, right? That's a bad thing, isn't it? So...... Why did they start doing the same thing as soon as the empire came to power? Well. I'm guessing it's to fend off the remnants of the Jedi.

In any case, I would have a lot to look into. I'd better start doing it. Ha.

I spent hours reading various articles about it. At one point, I accidentally got distracted and started reading completely random alien themes like what Ruby Blier really is. The screen hasn't changed much at all and doesn't tell me anything.

I emerged from my research frenzy when the door slid open and a familiar face walked in.

"Uh, Mott? Are you okay there? Fern asked timidly as he stood awkwardly on the doorframe.

I turned my head to face him.

"Uh, yes, I'm fine. I'm just reading about Shalak's mating habits," I turned back to the screen.

Fern grimaced. Is that what the Commander wants you to read? "

I don't think so," I replied honestly.

"Anyway, uh, it's time for dinner. You do eat, right? Or rather... Or does your little body not need that? Fern asked as he walked into the room. His uniform was now back to that old, primitive state, as if he had never sat at all. Do officials never sit down? Well. Possibly.

I smiled toothily. "yes, I ate well!"

"It was great, great. Okay, then come here, or I'll leave you here. This will displease the commander. But the lieutenant should be happy, so..."

I hope to get up from my chair, glad I don't have joints, bones, or anything like that, and I don't have pain and bursts from sudden movements. I've been sitting hunched over in front of my computer for hours now and my body feels good. Not even a little nervous. Become a Space Octopus Rock. "Let's go!"
