Chapter I: Vjun-Bast Castle

The flash of yellow lightning illuminated the room showing him standing at the window looking to the mindless horizon. As his mechanical breathing took control, it was enough to send shivers down one’s spine, but those who grew accustom to his breathing after five years either ended up dead by his hand or they showed no inclination of fear but most of them ended up dead. As he looked to the expanse, he began to remember everything from winning his freedom at the Podrace when he was nine and meeting with Obi-wan Kenobi. At twenty-two, he saw the death of his mother and the beginning of the Clone Wars. His elevation to Jedi Knight, the killing of Count Dooku, he even has started remember killing his beloved wife at twenty-three. Even though the visions he had long ago no longer occurred he did see someone or something with his blue lightsaber blade.

Darth Vader walked through his expansive castle he saw the mouse droids scurry about their duties. The living beings in the castle were either captive over the years or Imperial officers. Vader had become accustom to this power but he didn’t like it, he remembered back when people would appear in front of him with great honor but now they people trembled in fear.

As he entered one of the many chambers of the castle, there were three clicks of three blaster rifles loading and the idle hum of a lightsaber. The sith pulled back his cape and withdrew his personal blade just as the blaster rifles aimed to his head. The rifles lit the room with a blue pulses of light but the sith blocked the incoming attacks with ease by holding his hand out and redirected the attack to the attackers, leaving them mortally wounded.
The attacker of the lightsaber attacked Vader with a blow to the head but it was blocked the attack easily with his own blade. The attacker again tried to hit the Vader on the right, but that attack was easily parried as well. With a simple kick to the attacker’s chest it came to a halt as Vader lowered his blade to the creature’s neck “You are defenseless; don’t make me kill you.” Vader said in a metallic voice. All the creature could do was mumble incoherently, with that Vader sliced at the creature’s leg. The creature gimped back into the darkness
As Vader was just about to walk out of the room, he heard the rhythmic sound of boots hitting the marble floor. As he turned around, he saw a young lieutenant bow on one knee.


“What is it lieutenant?” Vader said in a calm voice.
“My lord the Emperor demands that you make your way to Imperial Center immediately.” The younger said crisply.
“Very well lieutenant. Prepare my shuttle and have Moff Tarkin await me in my chambers of the Star Destroyer.” Vader said leaving the room as he extinguished the blade blanketing the room in darkness.
“It will be done my lord.” The voice said echoing into nothing.

Imperial Center- Imperial Palace: Emperor’s Office



The sunlight filtered into the room bathing its rays across the blood red walls. Sith statues ordained the empty spaces in the room as Palpatine looked out the window at his empire, then turned to look down at the senators with a smile creeping over his gnarled face. Some of the senators looked at the face and tried to imagine a great man behind it, but then they saw the walls and began to think if the walls were that color because of the thousands of deaths caused by the Emperor or was it that color to absorb the fear.
“Your Excellence, we are astonished by these amendments that give the regional governors’ are to have full power over our systems. You had promised us that we would be in charge of our systems and the governors’ were there to help us make progress for security.” Senator Mon Mothma said with a tone of concern. As the figure continued to,
Smile down at the senators.
“Yes these new amendments seem to be unjust even for an empire. I also do not approve of these anti-alien subdivisions across the galaxy. It is segregation; we have no reason to fear non human species.” The new senator Jen-Mimi-Jac of Naboo said calmly as he had learned from watching Bail Organa. The other senators around them spoke amongst themselves, and the Emperor still smiled at them with the smile had given them so long ago, a smile of promise and security, but they were starting to catch on to his subtle wiles.

“My dear senators, the governors’ are in place to help round up the remaining treasonous Jedi and the separatist leaders. The reason for the power is quite simply is that I do not want us to be on a brink of war again. As for the subdivisions they are there to promote a healthy empire free of outside influence, remember that the Separatists were mostly made up of non-humans.” The emperor said soothingly with a toothy smile and spreading his hands showing that he only wants peace.

“So that is the rational behind gathering hundreds of Aliens on hundreds of worlds? That is the rational for creating an immense navy of Star Destroyers. The Jedi are either hiding because of the supposed treason they committed, and you implement governors’ on systems that are functioning well and had no ties to either the Jedi or the Separatists. I personally find this appalling.” Jen-Mimi-Jac continued as his face gets as red as the room he is in.


“You forget dear senator that Padme Amidala had strong ties within the Jedi Order and even contemplated joining the Separatists, she even used the Gungans to her end, and you can not bicker about your opinion when you held ties to such a ruler so long ago.” The Emperor spat back. With that, the cloaked figure turned his chair back to his empire and smiled at the window, remembering all those years of planning and everything still goes according to his design. “Now senators I am expecting an important visitor in awhile and I must cut this meeting short, but I can assure you that your voice will be heard in the senate.”

“As you wish my lord,” the senators said unison.
“Senator Jen Mimi Jac, I would like you to wait a moment.” As the emperor continued his gaze on the city and beyond. .
“Of course” The senator said trying to regain his normal light brown complexion. While four Imperial Red guards that came from were escorting the rest of the senators out of the chambers.
“Senator, I do not find your faith…pleasing, I instituted this empire mainly for the security of the people who like the Naboo during the Trade Federation embargo. I would hope that you would understand, but I see that you do not and now you must pay for your lack of vision.” As the emperor raised his hands, a furry of blue sparks came from his fingertips, frying the senator to death. The emperor could not help but laugh as he bathing the poor senator. Then just as soon as it started, it had stopped and disposed of the body, just as they had with the Jedi. “Weak fools are not privileged to be in the Empire.” The emperor said looking at the speeder of the rest of the senators took off to their housing complex in Imperial City.

Chapter II: Imperial Star Destroyer: Ravager
The sleek shuttle landed just a few seconds ago in the hanger bay, but that still didn’t ease the young commander’s mind, for he knew who was onboard it but did not know the reason. As he knelt to the ground he began to see flashes of his life passing before him, then the hiss came and the boots began to fall. “Greetings Lord Vader, a most welcome. I hope everything is alright.” The young man spoke with a bit of a smile on his face. Then Vader turned abruptly to him and the young commander gulped. “Yes everything is alright commander but I do hope you don’t waist your breath for all you know it could be the last one you take.” Vader said pointing judgmentally at the young man. With that, the commander bowed “Yes my lord. Moff Tarkin is on board just as you had instructed and awaiting you in your chamber.” The voice trailed but Vader paid no mind as he was making his way to the chamber.

In the chamber, it was cold and lifeless, just as the dark lord is Moff Tarkin could not help but shiver at the thought on why he was summoned here and not to the command bridge but he learned from the emperor that Vader was just as in charge of the galaxy as he. Just as Tarkin was about to leave the door slid open and Darth Vader entered “going somewhere Tarkin?” said looking down at the man.
“Ah Lord Vader, yes I was just about to head to the refresher.” The Governor said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. “I do not find your appraisal of humor, satisfactory but I can see where it is needed.” The sith retorted back. “Now on to business” he continued, “do you have any clue on why the Emperor is calling me back to Imperial Center?”

“I haven’t a clue but I suspect it might have to bringing civilization to a planet.” Tarkin said with a grimace for him this was not his type of mission, but what the Emperor said is good as written in Mandalorian Iron

Chalmun’s Cantina: Tatooine
The stench of blood, sweat and death sticks permeated the air and the sounds of laughter and music made it linger longer than it should have. In the far back corner of the room a man wearing a tunic smoking a pipe illumined his graying hair with tattoos across his face. “Hello A’shard can I get you anything?” Another grey haired man said, with a full beard and wistful smile. “No, Ben I don’t think that will do for me today, please sit." A’shard said scooting slightly to his left. “Thank you. So why did you call me here? You know I only come here to get some new information and some supplies,” Ben said with a worried look.
“I hear the emperor is sending some stormtroopers here to bring ‘order’ I personally think he is sending them here to wipe out the Tuskens and if he finds any Jedi then I would be extremely please. I think it’s actually best if you get off world for awhile.” A’shard said with a looking at Ben with a grim smile.
“I agree, but I need some way to stay close by. Maybe I could visit Geonosis.” Ben said, with a shiver running down his spine in remembering the horrible day.
“Yes that could work, but I sense there is something you aren’t telling and I am not even going to ask what it is. Also, be careful I think the empire is making the Geonosians build weapons again.” A’shard said with a dry smile of concern.
“Alright, thank you A’shard and….” Ben seemed stuck on what to say as A’shard pulled out his mask. “And with you my old friend, don’t you forget that.”
“I won’t” as Ben, formally Obi-wan Kenobi walked to the bar waiting for a new hope, a drink and a fast ship despite his feelings for space travel.

Chapter III: Imperial Center: Bail Organa’s chambers

“It is most pleasant to meet you senators. I am Cee….”The golden droid started to say but an elderly man with graying temples waved him off. “Thank you Threepio, you can go now” As the droid was leaving to the kitchen to gather some refreshments.

“I am glad that you could all come here,” said the senator coughing lightly. “The reason as you can tell I wasn’t at the meeting is because I am recovering from a cold.” The other senators just nodded and smiled lightly.
“Bail we have gathered some intelligence that Palpatine is sending an additional garrison of troopers to Tatooine.” Mon Mothma said with a hint of fear.
“That is a development but no matter I am sure my friends there can quell the empire from its grip.” Bail said almost dismissively.
“Bail we must act the locals I am sure will not be able to withstand a full-scale assault and seizure.” Mothma continued almost appalled at her friend.
“Trust me I have also some reports that a Jedi is there.” Bale said, “Also Senator Banai is there and he has no love for empire.”
“The senate is set to convene about this act by Palpatine sometime today and I am sure that they will all agree as they have before.” Mon Mothma said as Ceethreepio served her some Alderaanian ale, which she gladly accepted, the droid continued to serve the beverage but most of the senators declined.
“Does wessa know if Lord Vadter is going to Tatooine?” Senatorial Aide Jar Jar Binks asked in his unique Gungan-Basic tongue.
“No we do not know as of yet, but I have a feeling that Vader will not being officially on Tatooine unless there is a dire need for him.” Mothma said taking a sip of her ale.

As she was putting down her drink, she and the other senators heard a slight rumble of a Star Destroyer landing at the platform just a few districts away. When Ceethreepio came back into the room with some Alderaan stew accidentally spilling some on the floor, “Oh my, I will clean that up immediately Senator Organa.” The golden droid in what sounded like he was sorry for his actions.
“Don’t worry Threepio it is alright.” Bail said turning to the droid as he rubbed his nose slightly. “It sounds like the visitor that the Emperor was expecting was someone in his ranks.” Bail said looking at the senators.
“Vader or Tarkin are possible candidates.” Mon Mothma said frowning.
“I think we should convene this until later my friends, I need to get some rest and contact my wife.” Bail said truly smiling at his friends.
“Of course Bail, get well soon.” The senators said as they filed out to the turbolift
