A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
FALLEN EMPIRE: A Star Wars Story
Seven months have passed since the BATTLE OF JAKKU. The NEW REPUBLIC stands strong as the new leading government of the galaxy. FEAR of the GALACTIC EMPIRE is almost nonexistent. Only a small amount of Stormtroopers are left in service and Imperial commanders who have been captured are being held for a trial of crimes against the New Republic and the galaxy's people.
It had been months. It had been nearly seven months since the battle. Since that fateful day in which the Empire fell, Gallius Rax was killed, and the Imperialis left to the stars. It had been so long and yet Miles Cotes still remembered it so clearly. Every night he seemed to wake to nightmares of the New Republic Fleet jumping into Jakku space. This was not what a Stormtrooper of the Empire should be having nightmares about. A Stormtrooper should be fearing an army of Rancors.
Why had everything fallen apart so quickly? What had caused the Empire to lose the war? Was it the traitor known as Iden Versio? Or was it the work of Norra Wexley and her team of misfits and criminals? So many things could have brought down the Empire but there had to be one central reason. Under Palpatine's rule, this never would have happened! That had to be it. Perhaps the destruction of the Second Death Star is what caused the Galactic Empire's descent into the pits of hell.
But then that would hand the destruction of the great Galactic Empire down solely to Gallius Rax. Miles had known Rax was mad but blaming the whole loss of the war on him seemed absurd. Without Rax, there wouldn't have been a Battle of Jakku. The Empire would have died long before then without Counselor Gallius Rax. Then a new thought came into the mind of the Stormtrooper: "What if this had all started after Scarif?" The Stormtrooper would think long and hard about this.
*Meanwhile on Chandrila*
The Corvus had been landed here for quite some time now. Inside, Del Meeko and Iden Versio were living normal lives. They were having lunch with some heroes of the New Republic. These heroes were the Wexley family, as well as two other people. These people were Mya Arlos and Rerson Gorok. Before the Battle of Jakku, nothing connected them. Some of them were even enemies. nut now they are all on the Corvus, having lunch together. What a time to be alive. All of these families being reunited after the Galactic Civil War and things are finally settling down.
Or so they thought...
Nash Windrider was the person to greet Grand Admiral Rae Sloane upon the arrival to the Eclipse. They had one mission, bring back the Galactic Empire, in any way they could. Even if it was the wrong way.
