Dear Mum and Dad,
     Sorry for taking so long to reply to your letter but things have gotten even busier since we landed on Mandolore. Don't worry, I'm taking care of myself so my health's ok. How are you? Are those new droids you got working out? I know how hard working can be so be careful not to overtax yourselves and grandpa's constant rants must be no help. It's so hard for me to grasp the fact that we're so far apart from each other right now, Bakura's right on the other side of the Galaxy. It makes me feel a little homesick but work's always plentiful so I don't have time to wallow in my loneliness.
      We've been split up into groups for patrols and so far my group has the early mornings so no "rebels" on my end. We're stationed in the capital by the way and I'm pretty happy about that. After all Mandolore is a big planet.
     By the way do you remember the time I decided to enlist in the imperial academy? I certainly do. It was really hard for me at first because of my status everyone kept looking down on me and my weak body didn't help matters but I actually surpassed all of them. I will probably never forget the happiness I felt when when the examiner told me I scored top of the class. I remember you were both really happy for me and dad even joked saying that I was glowing but , of course, grandpa wasn't happy.
     Sometimes I wonder when exactly did Grandpa and I fall out. It probably started when I declared as a little girl that I wanted to see the galaxy because even back the stars were calling to me, I remember grandpa scolded me gently and told me that since I was a Jarrde I was going to grow up to be a farmer and marry a nice boy and settle down. That was most likely the starting point. Before that grandpa and I were really close, he would tell me stories about great warriors that protected the peace: the Jedi. But from what I've heard and read the Jedi aren't really that great - they were traitors who betrayed the republic and were rightfully taken down. Maybe I'm biased but this is what I believe. Anyhow, Mum, do you remember how I would often wake up early and go into town with grandpa on his speeder? You'd always scold me for not warning you beforehand and grandpa would always defend me. To be perfectly honest, I miss those days when everything was simple. But even as a little girl I noticed that Grandpa disliked the empire and inwardly never agreed with him. I guess falling out was inevitable. And we're both too stubborn to accept the fact that each of us can have different opinions. He's probably grumbling about me being a fool rights as you're reading this.
      Back to the so called "rebels", I actually heard that one of the patrols captured a group but they turned out to be a group of boys trying to look cool. Morons. Fortunately for them that just got reprimanded this time so they can still have a bright future ahead of them. The Empire is so gracious. Grandpa, I don't care what you think, you're not here. So maybe the "rebels" are just a group of idiotic juveniles? Maybe.  Though I accidentally overheard two of the higher-ups talking about insurgency in the other sectors and it seems really serious there. Who knows we may have a rebel alliance on our hands sooner or later. And that's definitely bad news, those rebels are nothing but selfish people who love to destroy the peace the people of the great empire have worked so hard to create.
      Actually I've also got an amazing piece of new, I can't believe I left it till now. Every time I think of it I get really excited but super nervous at the same time. Here goes: Lord Vader is coming here! That is so AWESOME! I've always admired Lord Vader and now I get to catch a glimpse of him! Even if it from afar, he's still really coming here! Guess lucks on my side.
    Well, it's time for my shift now. Take care mum and dad, tell grandpa not to do say anything stupid. I'll be waiting for a reply!
