You stumble across a very small building hidden against an ice cliff facing on Hoth. If not for a small energy reading that was picked up coming from inside, you probably wouldn't have seen it at all. It is located just outside of one of Gra'tua Cuun's most remote training locations. As far as you are aware, it is a dead zone, no one comes out here.
Approaching, you enter the small lightless chamber. The door behind you hisses closed once more blocking out the bitter wind, snow, and thankfully some of the cold. After a moment a single light comes on. Standing before you is a battered and rust spotted C2 series droid. After a moment, it's eyes light up and it seems to boot.
"Hello, Sentient." The C2 responds. It has been refitted with a female voice motivator. "I am the Historian. I am also the Keeper of the Dead." A sharp clicking sound is heard from inside her chassis. "Historical reference mode activated."
"The Treaty of Coruscant was a victory for the Empire, and a bitter defeat for the Republic. It's tenets set the stage for the Empire to have a better stance for, as my programer believes, when and not if the Empire breaks the Treaty."
A -click-click-bbzzzt- sound is heard before C2's female voice suddenly becomes male and says: "Error, Memory Banks siezed, rebooting...."
The female voice continues, "Many organizations were watching the Empire, as no doubt the Empire is watching us. The Republic SIS, Jedi Order, and Special Forces military have all observed hostile actions on the part of the Empire against the Republic. My maker went to the Republic Army chain of Command with concerns that if the Republic did not do something drastic now, the time would be past to make a difference. It was in that vein that they let.."
-click-bbzzzt-click-, and the male voice again: "Memory file not accessible, skipping to next entry..."
The female voice continues again, "And so the Emergency Senate session created the Security Force that would be made from Republic Organizations, and upon completion of it's creation would cease to be a Republic entity. My maker was given charge of the Organization and named them Gra'tua--"
-click-click- and the male voice states: "Memory corrupted, skipping ahead to next entry..."
The female voice: "Which is Mandalorian for 'Our Vengeance', which he believed to be fitting for their purpose, scope, and function. However, after organization and during the initial stages of fielding personnel to all of our planetary locations, which include: Hoth, Ord-"
-bzzt-click-click- And the male takes over again: "Memory access blocked. Security violation, memory banks shut down. Rebooting..."
The female voice: "The Jedi Council deemed that a force operating in Republic space, without Republic oversight would cause trouble. So the Council identified a select handful of Jedi to come and manage this new force. Grand Master Satele Shan and her Council recommended that the Jedi General be Jedi Knight Ak-"
-click-click- And the male takes over again: "Memory access blocked. Security violation, memory banks shut down. Rebooting..."
The female voice: "And so it was that Jedi Leadership was established. Under Jedi General A(male voice: Entry redacted! Female voice continues:) the Navy Admiral heading the Armada, Ground Commander heading the ground forces, and Militia Captain leading his rag tag militia were established and put into place."
The female voice continues: "Many battles have been fought already, many have fallen, but more will come behind those that have gone before. 'Our Vengeance' will not be stopped, it will not be sated, it will not end until the Empire is gone. Here we will stand. Here I will remember."
-click-bzzt-click-click-
A distinctly different male voice suddenly takes over, it has hints of an Imperial accent, even as it speaks Mandalorian:
"Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum"
With that the droid spreads it's arms and indicates the walls. It is now that you realize there are hundreds of names inscribed on the walls. The droid begins to read them off one at a time.
