*Shadows stretch across the Coruscant skyline, heavy with an unseen malice. The night terrors and sleep paralysis grip the clone troopers like invisible chains. For those who could ignore the dread, leave was a sanctuary of rowdy parties and shared drinks among vode. For others, it was a descent into karking hell. The smartest minds remained baffled. These symptoms, unique to the planet, were ignored by the full-time Guards who kept their suffering silent. Files revealed nothing, yet the Guards remained jumpy, sleep-deprived, and fiercely closed off to any aid, be it from Jedi or fellow clones.*
