For the last seventeen years, Emperor Anakin Skywalker has ruled the galaxy! He is suit-less and found his twins on Polis Massa where they were born and he also found his wife dead there. He was told by the Emperor that he killed his wife in his anger from the Force choke on Mustafar and he believed he killed her and his unborn child until he raided the asteroid and found the twins there along with Threepio and Artoo who confirmed the children were his. He put them in hiding and killed the Emperor for using him and making him believe that he killed the one person he could never kill.
With his children at his side he ruled not completely with an iron fist but what he said goes and the Imperial Senate has limited power, it is more advisory than anything. The Emperor is liked by most but hated by others and was almost killed more than once but the attempts ultimately failed. The Rebel Alliance is in full strength with the Jedi who survived all of this time and Luke and Leia are eighteen years old and were trained as Dark Jedi, just like their father. He rescinded the Dark Side and overcame it but he still uses certain Dark Side abilities and is still prone to anger and hatred for certain people, organizations and such.
This story is about the Skywalker's and unlike Skywalkers: Rule the Galaxy (one of my other stories) this will be more dark and there is no Padme. There is a third child though and that is Starkiller, Galen Marek who was rescued and trained by Emperor Vader along with his children. He has become a part of the family, he is the same age as the twins who are eighteen while Anakin is forty.

Imperial Palace
The Emperor sat at the head of the conference table for his weekly Imperial Security briefing as Luke and Leia joined him like they usually do and are representatives of the Imperial Knights as they are both Masters that sit on the Imperial Knights Council both of them masters at both the light side and the dark side. Sitting at the table with the trio was Grand Moff Tarkin, Imperial Military Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Imperial Ruling Council, the Director of ISB, Director of Imperial Intelligence, Grand Vizier and a few other high ranking Imperial's.
"Good morning, everyone." Emperor Skywalker said as he took a sip of caf and picked up his datapad as he was ready to begin the weekly Imperial Security briefing as they do every Friday morning. "Why don't we start with these Rebel scum, what have you to report?"
"Your Majesty," Grand Moff Tarkin said. "They are getting more bold but per your orders we have let them grow and we've let them think that they are actually hurting us. Your plan seems to be working and we have confirmed that a few of the Senators that you have suspected are Rebel Leaders, founders of the Rebel Alliance even. More than that, we uncovered dozens of Rebel bases all across the galaxy."
"I knew that but couldn't act without the proof as they are Senator's and they like to think they have power." The Emperor laughed at that as did everyone else, all they want is power yet the last time they did it ended in the Clone Wars and formation of the Empire. They played into the Sith's hands and were responsible for the collapse of the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order. "Are we ready to dissolve the Senate?"
"We have more than enough to shut them down as the Moff's and Grand Moff's now have the forces required to handle what the Senators were supposed to handle yet failed badly at." The Grand Vizier said much to the Emperors delight.
"Excellent, then when the time is right we will come down on them in one final swoop and hopefully end them once and for all." Anakin said with a smile as his plan has so far worked as it was planned too. "What else is there to discuss?"
"There is an uprising on Alderaan, the home of Senator Organa and he is one of the Rebel Leaders and Founders, I know we were all shocked to discover that." The Director of Intelligence reported sarcastically.
"I see, then following Imperial protocol before we launch a full scale invasion to remind everyone of our might and determination." Anakin said looking to the Imperial Joint Chiefs and then to Luke and Leia. "We'll send our Knights. Talk to Senator Organa and the Queen, which is his wife and if you can't get them to come to terms with reality then you can perform aggressive negotiations. If that fails," Anakin looked to Grand Admiral Motti and Grand General Tagge, "you will launch your invasion. Therefore Admiral, General prepare your forces and rendezvous at a nearby system if the negotiations fail then you will get the go ahead from me to secure the planet and to install an Imperial Garrison on Alderaan. I do not want the Senator or Queen to be harmed, save them for me, if it comes to that. I have something special in store for them."
"We'll get right on it once we're done here, Your Majesty." Admiral Motti said as he straightened his Imperial Navy uniform, he was always nervous around the Emperor as were most people except for his children and Grand Moff Tarkin, so it seemed.
"Good." The Emperor said with a nod as he looked around the table, most meetings were busy but this week there wasn't much going on. "Masters, anything to report for the Knights?"
Luke looked to Leia and Leia looked to Luke before Leia decided to speak, "we have recruited four new Force sensitive children with midichlorian counts being at least eight thousand and they were all youngling's and will be instructed at the Knight's Temple. We have performed numerous missions this past week and all were successful with nothing to report about them relating to Imperial Security."
"Adding to what Leia said, we haven't had any problems that we couldn't handle ourselves. Every mission has been successful with the slaughter of a few weak Jedi and the Empire is mostly secure except of course for the various rebel cells and for those worlds who want to stand up for a fruitless cause or harbor more Jedi." Luke said with disgust at that word. "Other than that, you received our report and as Leia said, nothing relates to Imperial Security."
"Good." Anakin said happily, he liked hearing that there is nothing to report relating to Imperial Security. "Master Leia, I want you to go back to your duties and Master Luke and Knight Jade will go to Alderaan with Senator Organa and sit down and talk with him and the Queen, nicely. If all else fails, the Imperial Military will get to have some target practice, everyone knows it has been quite a while. Dismissed."
Everyone stood to leave and Anakin held back his children and motioned for them to follow him to his huge oval shaped spacious office and he took a seat on his desk. "How are the Knight's really doing?"
"We're doing good, dad." Luke replied as he messed with his armor and placed his hands on his waist. "Our uniforms work as expected and have completely deactivated lightsabers as they were swung at us, of course no Jedi did that but we tested it on each other and they're working great."
"Good to hear." Anakin replied with a smile, he had his family and this couldn't be better but he was still empty without Padme and he wasn't interested in any women, even after all this time nor did he believe that would change in the future. "Leia?"
She looked distracted and Anakin cleared his throat and she looked up and looked embarrassed.
"What's happening in that brain of yours?" Anakin asked as she looked away and walked to the window and Anakin already knew the answer from that reaction. "Boy trouble, I take it."
"Yeah, it's boy trouble." Luke confirmed since his sister didn't answer.
"You do realize that when the Emperor asks you a question, that you're supposed to answer said question?" Anakin said looking at Leia as he stood and walked next to her. "Leia, I am talking to you."
"Just drop it dad, it's nothing I can't handle." She said trying to reassure her father but to no avail.
"If you could handle it on your own then you wouldn't be acting this way, little one." Anakin said placing his arm over her shoulder. "Leia, I am your father. You can talk to me without any of our conversation ever getting out of this room."
"I know, dad." She replied with a sigh. "It's Lieutenant Han Solo, Imperial Navy. I really like him but he doesn't know me and he won't admit how he feels about me. He always calls me princess, yet doesn't know my true identity since I gave him a different name, well same name but he doesn't know I am that Leia Skywalker and he talks a good game but then he just pushes me away. It's like he has commitment issues or something."
"I see." Anakin said, it was easier talking to Luke about these sort of things, girl problems he can discuss but boys... that was a different story and he'd very much rather Leia not be in any relationships. Also this Lieutenant Han Solo has to be at least twenty one or two but he won't get into that since Padme was five years older than he was and he doesn't want to be a hypocrite even though it is his baby girl he's talking about. "Well, you can always tell him how you feel about him and if he doesn't give you the answer you want to hear, then leave him. You are a beautiful young woman and remind me very much of your mother, she took my heart and soul when I first laid eyes on her when I was nine years old. If he doesn't feel that way about you, then he doesn't deserve you. I worked hard to get your mother to admit to love me and it took us being sentenced to death for her to admit it. She was a Senator and I was a Jedi Knight, attachments were forbidden and she refused to be more than friends with me because she didn't want me to get kicked out of the order. Even when we were married we wouldn't tell anyone and didn't, same when she was pregnant with the two of you, she didn't even tell her family. The Imperial Knight's have that freedom, the freedom to live their lives without having to hide who they are. Of course, you may not want to tell him who you are but that is up to you, it isn't forbidden. You just have to be you and that is pretty damn good. I say to Sith hell with Solo, you can have any guy you want and any guy would be lucky to have you in their lives."
Leia had tears in her eyes as she hugged her father and Anakin smiled as he knew it would work. She was a lot like Padme and that made things easier for him, he knew how to get to her. Anakin also made a mental note to check on this Han Solo to make sure he isn't a threat or danger to his baby girl, his little angel.
"Thank you, daddy." She said as she looked up at him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Anytime, my little Angel." Anakin said with a smile as he turned his attention to them both since they were now paying attention. "Luke take Knight Jade with you to Alderaan and report back. The Grand Admiral and Grand General will lead the military operation if it comes to that. As Knight's you know what to do. Leia, what are your plans for the day?"
"I have some lectures today to teach the Youngling's apparently I am quite popular with the little ones." Leia said rolling her eyes, she didn't like little kids very much, they were cute and innocent but they were kids and annoying.
"That is a gift, I am not very good with children." Anakin admitted as he immediately thought of the youngling's he killed while he was under the spell of the Dark Side. "I had to learn on my own how to raise the two of you and that was hard, raising one Skywalker is hard enough, never mind twins... with almost as much midichlorians as myself!"
"Oh, daddy, you know we were little angels." Leia said with a smile and Anakin burst out laughing.
"Right, you are my little angel but you weren't little angels." Anakin admitted as he almost drove himself insane being not only the Emperor ruling over a Galactic Empire but also a father to two powerful Force sensitive children. "You were little devils, I am just happy that I still have my blond hair and not grey. I can't wait for either of you to have children then you will understand, especially if you have twins."
"Not gonna happen." Luke said avoiding eye contact with Anakin as Anakin smiled and disagreed.
"I don't know, you and Knight Jade..." Anakin said throwing that out there as he knew they were trying to hide their relationship from him and Luke totally gave it away with the shocked look on his face. "What? You thought I didn't know? I am the Emperor, I know everything, Luke. I am your father as well, I can see the look in your eyes when you're with her. I know you well enough by now, it's no big deal anyways, as long as you don't let your personal feelings get in the way during a mission together. I've done it more than once and it didn't always go my way. I just don't want either of you to get injured or killed because you were trying to be a hero or doing something that clouded your judgement. That is why attachments were forbidden by the Sith and Jedi but I know everyone needs love."
"What about you?" Luke asked giving him a look with his bright blue eyes that made Anakin think he was looking in the mirror at his younger self, when he was innocent and pure in the light side. "You've only ever been with one woman, mom. It is okay to move on, mom would want you too."
"I know, Luke." Anakin said with a sigh as he turned to look out the window at the busy city outside as he watched the speeders glide by in the distance. "I just never had any romantic feelings for any woman besides your mother. She was my first and only love. I am perfectly content with my life now and I have you two in my life. Which is why I don't want either of you doing anything insane that'll get you killed. You are no me, I didn't get as good as I was until I was at least twenty then I got better throughout the Clone Wars. I am the Chosen One and I fulfilled my destiny and I was brought into the universe by the midichlorians themselves. I just want you to be careful out there and listen to the Force. I never understood it before, I was impatient, rash, I just acted without thinking and it cost me everything. It cost me your mother... and I don't want either of you to experience what I had experienced."
"We love you, dad." Luke and Leia said together as they both hugged their father knowing his story all too well and knowing he'll never forgive himself for his short stint as a Sith Lord but he has made up for it, they believe, he just doesn't see it and he has to live with the memories.
You are no Sith, they both thought.
"I love you guys, too, more than anything." Anakin said as he kissed them both on the top of their foreheads as they held onto him tight. "Just be yourselves and remember your training. As long as you do that, you can take down anything or anyone."
"We know." They both said hearing that phrase, quite often and have gotten quite used to it.
"Alright, you're free to go, Masters." Anakin said deciding he wasted enough of their time. "Remember Sunday night dinner here."
"We know dad, it is a weekly dinner on the same night at the same time." Luke said as he and Leia exited Anakin's office leaving him to his own thoughts.
What would I do without them? He asked himself, but he didn't want to know the answer to that. I just wish Padme was here...
Imperial Knights Temple
The Imperial Knights Temple is the former Jedi Temple however everything related to the Jedi was removed and replaced with the equivalent Imperial Knight decor. The Temple also underwent renovation over the years since it was damaged from Operation Knightfall but that was eighteen years ago and the damage was renovated long ago and even some expansion occurred.
Leia and Luke entered the Temple and walked right past the Temple guards who were dressed in the same uniforms as the Knights except wore helmets and looked like statues. They were both worried about their father, every year during their birthday and Empire Day, he gets sad and withdrawn, but they know that is because when they were born, their mother died. They also knew their father didn't blame them, he only blamed one man and that was one man they couldn't find; Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"I can't stand seeing him like that!" Luke said clearly frustrated at seeing his father hurt, he hasn't even moved on, he just keeps reliving the past.
"I know Luke but there isn't anything we can do." Leia said putting her hand on Luke's shoulder as she thought of something, "why don't we get him to talk to Rharo?"
Luke burst out laughing, "oh yeah! Like dad is going to sit down and open up about his feelings! Come on, Leia you and I both know that won't ever happen!"
"Then we need to make it happen." Leia rebutted not seeing what was so funny although she did agree with her brother. "He hasn't spoken about what happened all those years ago, he told us but he doesn't tell us everything, he just keeps them bottled up. He needs to talk about them like he makes us talk about stuff that bothers us! We have to turn the tables and force him to sit down and talk to Rharo. It'd be good for him and no one is more discreet than him."
"I agree with you, I just don't think dad would be open to it." Luke said sadly as he knew his father needed to speak to a therapist, especially Rharo who was a Master and a Healer trained in psychology mostly having to do with traumatic situations. "He is a strong man and is very good at keeping his emotions in check, more than now than ever. He isn't going to want to discuss what happened eighteen years ago!"
"Well if anyone can make him do it, it's us." Leia said stepping before her brother and placing her hands on his shoulders and looking him straight in the eye. "We just have to melt his heart like we always do and force him to do it. We'll do it at Sunday's dinner."
"Very well, we'll give it a shot." Luke caved in and nodded and Leia smiled and let him go. "But if he flips out at the idea then you're taking the blame."
"Good, now let's carry on." She said as they moved further into the Temple, Luke had to find his Knight and Leia had a class to teach.
Luke found his Knight, Mara Jade and they left the Temple together and walked to where the speeders were as they had to retrieve Senator Organa before flying to Alderaan for peaceful negotiations. Luke held the Senator responsible as well for the death of his mother since it is well known to he and Leia that he played a role in keeping their mother from their father. Of course, the Senator doesn't know they know and he thinks he made a clean getaway from it all but the droids ratted him out when Anakin retrieved them and downloaded their memory banks and reviewed all of the footage and conversations that took place and the Senator was all over them. He even planned to take Leia for his own daughter and send Luke to Tatooine, if he hadn't shown up when he did then he may never have found out about his children.
"You're not going to kill the Senator, are you?" Knight Jade asked Master Luke as she knew the story well, Luke told her over the years and they've formed a more than professional relationship, he thought they were keeping it quiet but apparently everyone knew or at least the Emperor.
"Not today." Luke replied with a smile. "If negotiations don't go well, we have orders to ensure that he and the Queen aren't killed. The Emperor wants to handle that on his own, its personal for him."
"Of course it is, not only is he a Rebel leader trying to undermine the Empire and the Emperor but he also played a role in his wife's death." Mara said and knew she should've kept her mouth shut, Luke always wished he got to know his mother but that was taken from him because of the Jedi and the Senator, all he had was the speeches, holograms and holovids of her over the years from before he was born.
"Yeah." Luke replied clearly not okay with what she said but it wasn't her fault, he knew and he flew the speeder to the Senate building ignoring all of the traffic regulations, not only is he an Imperial Knight and Knights are above the law but he is also the Prince of the Galactic Empire and he is allowed to do whatever he wants. "Let's get this over with." He said parking at the Senate building and turning the speeder off before he and Knight Jade walked into the Senate building right past the Senate Guards and to the turbolift to go to the eighth floor where the Senator's office was located.
Luke and Mara knew the building like the back of their hand and had no problem finding the office and they entered and walked past the Senator's secretary and into his main office where he was meeting with a couple of Senators.
"Excuse me!" The Senator shouted as he stood. "I am in the middle of a meeting here, why don't you go make an appointment or wait in the other room!"
Luke shook his head as Mara smiled and held back as Luke walked up to the Senator and got in his face. "Senator, you are coming with me. If you refuse then you will dragged out, what do you say?" Luke said with his best diplomatic voice as possible.
"You have absolutely no right to take me anywhere!" He said in a high pitched voice which Mara found to be amusing, Luke on the other hand wasn't amused.
"It seems that Alderaan is trying to cause an uprising against the Empire, you will come with us or we will restrain you and charge you with treason against the Empire. I don't think I have to tell you the seriousness of this situation." Luke explained then looked to Mara, the Senators and back to Senator Organa, "or do I?"
"Senators, if you'll excuse me." He said looking to Luke then back to the Senators, "we'll have to pick this up another time." He then turned back to Luke, "after you Master Knight."
Luke and Mara led the way back to the speeder and back to the Temple where they landed in the hangar bay and signed out one of the Imperial Knight Shuttles and departed the hangar bay flying out of the atmosphere of Imperial City and into the blackness of space. Once far enough away and once safe to do so, they set their course for Alderaan.
The Imperial Knights have a fleet of Lambda-class T-4a shuttles they use for official and unofficial business. All of the shuttles were modified and painted red, they also have the Imperial Knights logo on the sides, top and bottom of the shuttle. Imperial Knight starships are considered Imperial diplomatic vessels and firing on them is a declaration of war, unlike the Jedi, the Knights take care of their own and if anyone kills a Knight, all the other Knights will be mobilized to hunt down those responsible. The Knights use their emotions to drive them, to make them better and they learn to master their emotions whereas the Jedi taught their members to purge their emotions.
Alderaan
Galen Marek sat in a Rebel base on the planet Alderaan where the Rebels and Jedi were hiding. The base on Alderaan was top secret and outside the main city and hidden away inside the mountain bordering Aldera. Very few knew of its existence but the Queen and Senator were the ones who created it and sanctioned it. Very few worlds openly supported the Jedi even after the Empire was created but Alderaan was one of them. Many Jedi have fled to Alderaan but over the years the number has dwindled down to less than a dozen and there was only one Master, the rest were Knights or Padawans.
Galen Marek felt sick having to work with them and speaking against the Empire and Emperor but it was his assignment and he pulled it off masterfully as he did as ordered and brought them together officially. He was the one responsible for the formation of the Rebel Alliance, before it was just those acting against the Empire, it was unorganized terrorism but since he brought the different cells together and formed the Alliance with many wealthy and powerful people, it was more organized and he got the location of every Rebel base in the galaxy.
For a time he wasn't sure if he was being fed misinformation but as he made his reports to the Emperor and had some bases checked out from afar, it turned out to be the correct information and all of the reports were compiled and surveillance begun. Galen didn't think it'd work but the performance between him and the Emperor all over the holonet news seemed to work, the Senator of Alderaan bought it and offered him sanctuary. He accepted it.
He'd wish for nothing more than to stick his red blade through the Rebel scum and Jedi but his assignment isn't over yet and until it is, he has to play nice and act like he has been for the last two years. He never thought'd he miss Luke and Leia who have become his family over the years as much as he does now but he knows he'll see them again.
It was time for his monthly report and he made his way to the surface and out to a spot he uses frequently and knows that no one knows about as it is off the trail and hidden from view, in a crevasse but even with that in mind he was still wary of someone catching him. He reached out with the Force and confirmed he was alone as he knelt down on he knee and called the Emperor on the holocomm as it was connected quickly.
"Galen, it is good to see you're alright." The Emperor said and Galen noticed that he has definitely changed over the years. When the man first killed his father right in front of him, he was cold and angry but over the years that dwindled and he was warmer and happier.
"Thank you, Master." Galen said with a smile as he was ready to give his report.
"Before you report, just know that there is an uprising that is occurring on Alderaan, or so Imperial Intelligence said and I sent Master Luke and Knight Jade to check it out. They'll be meeting with the Queen and Senator, so make sure you stay away from the Palace or you'd know what they'll be forced to do. Luke knows of your assignment but Mara doesn't, she will try to take you into custody or worse and I don't want to lose either of you." The Emperor said and Galen felt bittersweet, they were so close but they couldn't talk or hang out like old times, it made him feel more lonely and apparently the Emperor sensed it. "Don't worry, Galen. You'll be coming home soon. Thanks to you, we have everything we need to shut them down as well as the Imperial Senate. However it will be a major operation, the biggest we've ever undertaken and it will take some time to plan."
"I understand, Master." Galen said with a sigh, he couldn't wait until it happened. "How is everyone?"
"Everyone is holding up, but Luke and Leia miss you." The Emperor confirmed, it didn't take him long to discover that. "They're the only ones who know you're undercover, they didn't at first since it had to appear to be believable but they were relieved when the incident turned out to be staged. Luke is romantically involved with Knight Jade and Leia is involved with a man named Han Solo."
Galen laughed and shook his head, "that doesn't surprise me, Luke and Mara were always in love with each other and Leia had feelings for the Cadet for some time, of course he isn't a Cadet anymore but he is a bit shady. He didn't have a very nice childhood and he is afraid of commitment, Leia won't exactly be happy with him."
"I told her as much but that is her choice, he is a Lieutenant now apparently and if hurts Leia then he'll be hurt by me." The Emperor promised. "What about you? How are you holding up?" The Emperor knew the boy since he was just three and he actually despises his parents as he does the Jedi, blaming them for his parents death. Anakin told him the truth about what happened and why he did what he did and since the moment he found him, he knew he'd make a good Knight. Having two parents that were both Jedi will definitely make you powerful, his midichlorian count isn't as much as the twins, its actually half theirs but he is still strong. Just because your midichlorian count isn't as high as Anakin's or the twins doesn't mean you'll be weaker in the Force, it just means that it doesn't come as easily to you but if you train and train you can accomplish wonders.
"I am doing that, holding up but I don't like conspiring with the enemy." Galen admitted as he looked down avoiding eye contact, Anakin knew he didn't like it but he trusted him with this and knew he could handle it. "I am hanging in there though."
"Good, we'll get you out soon enough and when that time comes you'll get to kill the Jedi and Rebel scum at your base." Anakin told him and knew he would enjoy that. "What have you to report?"
"I started spreading the dissent that you spoke of, I started the uprising." Galen admitted but that was something Anakin already knew, it was a part of his assignment. Alderaan was a constant thorn in their side and Anakin will be glad when the Royal Family is dissolved and punished except it won't be the punishment they'll be expecting. "The Queen and Senator know of it, although they'll say they can't control the thoughts and opinions of their people, they are well aware of it and even support it, quietly of course."
"Of course." Anakin nodded and smiled, "nice work, Galen. Within the next month the Rebels should be done and the galaxy will remember who is in charge. When we pull you out, you'll be made an Imperial Hero and you will get your spot on the Council, as promised. Take care of yourself and keep your head down until I tell you otherwise."
"Thank you, Master." Galen said as Anakin ended the transmission to allow them both to get back to work.
The Imperial Knights shuttle touched down just outside the Aldera Royal Palace and they were amazed at the sight. It was beautiful, built on a lake and the architecture was something that rivaled that of Imperial City. It was truly elegant and the people of Alderaan act and dress as such. The people dress in luxurious apparel, most of it simple and white, others grey but its clear that they like the simple things in life, the buildings are designed exquisitely but the colors are simple and everything is grey or silver.
Luke and Mara took their eyes off the architecture as they followed the Senator into the Palace from the Palace landing bay where they landed their shuttle. The city wasn't that big but the skyscrapers could definitely fit enough people inside and they knew that there were other cities around the planet that also housed people and the population of the planet was around two billion.
"Your mother used to like coming here." Bail said to Luke although he didn't look at the boy, he was trying to turn him and Luke knew it.
"I don't want to hear you mention my mother." Luke said like he was talking to Rebel scum, and as it turned out he was. "My mother died because of you. If Obi-Wan left her on Mustafar she would be here today but he decided to take her from my father who could've saved her and she died giving birth to my sister and I. She died because of you and your idiotic beliefs in democracy."
"Is that what your father told you?" Bail asked and laughed, "it seems like he didn't tell you everything about her."
"As a matter of fact, he told us everything about her." Luke rebutted as he got in front of the Senator and blocked his path as he got in the mans face for the second time in less than a few hours. "He told us of his stint as a Sith and what he did, he told us about what he did to our mother, he told us everything and he even told us how you and Yoda and Obi-Wan planned to abduct us and separate us. What gives you the right to take a child that doesn't belong to you? What gives you the right to separate twins?"
Bail was at a loss for words, he didn't think Vader would tell them the truth, he thought that he'd turn them into the monster that he became, the monster he shows the galaxy. It turned out that once again Vader surprised him, even though he goes by Anakin Skywalker again, Bail won't think of him the way he was, when he was the Hero With No Fear. The infamous Jedi Knight who was fearless and the face of the Jedi Order. Nope, he'll think of him as the man he became, the Sith that he became and what he did in that month until he found his twins, Bail was just surprised that Luke knew.
"What? You didn't think we knew of your plans?" Luke asked and looked to Mara and they both laughed. "We know who you are and what you did. Now you have the chance to save your planet, control your people or the Emperor will see that the Imperial Military does and you and the House of Organa will be no more."
I like the Imperial Knight's uniform from the Fel Empire, so we'll use the same uniform for them here. The ranks for the Imperial Knight's are Younglings (children in training), Apprentices (mostly teenagers who are chosen by a Knight or Master Knight to be trained in the field), Knight (fully trained in the ways of the Force, dark side and light side but not all dark side powers are taught), Master Knight's (Master Knight's sit on the Imperial Knight's Council and lead the Knights like the Jedi Council) and last but not least is the Grand Master (who is always the Emperor, so long as the Emperor is a Force sensitive user as it will remain since the Empire belongs to the Skywalker's).
This is the beginning, it is a two part opening. In the later chapters we'll delve into the past as the twins will try and get their father to speak to the therapist who will make him relive his past in order to leave it there and move on.
I hope you like it! Please let me know! Thanks!
