Thanks to Ganon1 and Eldin of Wyrda for the inspiration and the characters!
Palpatine waited until Anikan left the room. He smirked and picked up the small radio, switched it on, and said, "Execute, order sixty-six." Everyone but the Jedi knew what this meant. The order, which is to eliminate all Jedi.
.:Twenty-four years later:.
The Emperor walked through the door onto the deck, where several men and Darth Vadar marveled at their creation. The Deathstar floated there, in all its glory. It was finally ready.
A single troop stood out from the others, holding a lightsabre and not wearing a proper uniform yet nobody who cared could do a thing about it. Those above him in rank saw his skill beyond his rebelling, The emperor even saw some promise for him as a sith and he was the only man aside from Darth Vader himself who could speak comfortably with The emperor. He took in a sharp breath, these occasions were normally times he would receive orders to kill a rebel leader or lead a squad into the fray elsewhere. Doing something at the very least. His mind began to wander. I am Col Terk this... observing is not my task. Why aren't I doing something important now!
"Terk, how is the star?" he asked, walking beside him and grinning at the thought of what he could achieve with the Death Star.
"It's finished, it has been. I don't really see what is so fantastic about a big floating ball with a huge laser. It isn't as though blowing up a planet is useful when we could make do the old fashioned way while simultaneously having a new supply of resources, fresh troops and perhaps a nice base." Terk replied, this was boring and he would rather be hacking his way through a rebel base right now.
The Emperor smiled. "Very well. I leave you in charge of that. Darth, in the mean time, send out more troops to any planet we haven't been to yet." he said with a small sense of smugness.
I'm not sure where I want to go with this so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear from you!
