Galactic Empire

Prologue

Empires come and go – rise and fall. Their stories usually revolve around how power corrupts, how evil can never win, and how good will always arise to stop them, which is true to an extent. However, the other side is rarely ever explored, and sometimes it is the greatest tale. For we learn not from the victories of heroes, but from the failures of villains, though their tales are usually lost to the mists of time.

Their joy and darkness, their evil and good. Their tale deserves to be told as much as the hero who fought against them. We can learn from their mistakes, their hardships, and how even the darkest of hearts exists within shades of gray.

So let us learn of a tale of the fate of the galaxy, only this time, let us see through the eyes of those who thought to destroy it.

The galaxy was not always a dark place. Light used to reside everywhere and for a time the universe was happy. Then the light grew too bright and darkness was forced to arise. Wars started, pain lingered, and darkness crept on. But the most evil of all waited in the shadows for a moment to strike, and when it did, the galaxy cried out in pain.
