"Speaking Silently," a brief narrative set during the Clone Wars, was authored by Jason Fry and features illustrations by Tom Hodges. Initially intended for inclusion in The Essential Guide to Warfare, it was ultimately removed prior to release and subsequently adapted for publication in issue 139 of Star Wars Insider, which came out in January of 2013.
The narrative unfolds on Ereesus, where a number of soldiers have fallen into the hands of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rex, a Clone trooper captain, engages with local resistance fighters who request that he view a hologram depicting the captured troops. It is then revealed that the prisoners are Lorrdians, possessing the ability to interpret signals from the captured soldiers. Leveraging this intelligence, they launch an assault on the Separatist installation, successfully liberating the imprisoned individuals.
