Shielding Life

„I am not proud of what I did. Of course, the Republic needed us in the war. We couldn’t allow the Mandalorians to invade a thousand worlds and kill innocent Republic citizens. Yet, sometimes I wonder, wether they were the monsters or we were. We ended so many lives. The general always told me that it had to be done and that we were fighting for life. And even though we believed him, we all could see how much it hurt him inside. He never said a word, but I could see it in his eyes. When the war was over, it was said that he was exiled by the Jedi order, but I have the feeling that he knew, he had to go. He had to find himself and come to terms with everything he had done. And so did I. What we did was wrong and now, it is time to actually save lives, rather than end them for a greater cause. That’s why I am here on Telos, to rebuild what was lost and save the very roots of life, rather than cutting them off forever.“
