Star Wars Chapter 4: The Emperors New Seer.
Taking a moment to contemplate whether he should start with the information that was recognized as cannon or the ones that were now considered to be in the expanded/legends universe, the t shirt wearing boy decided to go with the answer that was more easier to explain.
"Well first off, the Second Death Star you construct is bigger and more powerful than the first one. From what I remember, the first Death Star is over 120 km in size, with its planet destroying laser needing 24 hours of recharge, while the second one is 160 km and only needs a few minutes before it can be fired again. Also unlike the first one, the Second Death Star has better targeting systems, allowing to to use its primary weapon against enemy capital ships, which the first one couldn't do".
Nodding his head at this impressive piece of information, Sidious didn't allow it to distract from one of the key concerns that was bugging him.
"As impressive as that is, it still doesn't explain how the first one was destroyed. For I am sure that my super weapon would be equipped with shields to prevent it from being destroyed".
Sensing that his next answer could very well result in him becoming fried by lightening, or being forced to suffer from asphyxiation, the Star Wars fan prayed that the wrinkled Sith Lord would remember his usefulness as he proceeded to answer the question.
"Well you see...the shields of the first Death Star were only useful in keeping it protected from being destroyed by enemy capital ships, or the debris of destroyed planets. But while the shield covered the entirety of the station, it wasn't precise enough to keep out small winged fighters from sending a torpedo down a ventilation shaft that led to the power core. The Second Death Star fixed both of these flaws, but the way in which the shielding issue was solved actually helped to ensure its destruction".
Frowning at this information, Sidious was pleased that the boy hurried to explain what had gone wrong before he had to ask.
"While the 2nd Death Star's shield covered it more efficiently than the first, since it was still under construction, it didn't have an on board shield generator, so the Empire had to build one on a neighboring planet. Since you knew the Rebels would do what ever it took to destroy the new space station, you leaking information that told them where the Death Star was, and how it was being protected. But thanks to aid they received by the planets inhabitants, and the fact that the base commander was tricked into thinking that the battle was won, thus opening up the bunker, the Rebels were able to destroy the generator, saving their fleet from being annihilated by your larger force by virtue of the fact that they could now send ships through the unsealed service tunnels of the partially constructed station, and thus destroy its power source".
Praying that he wasn't about to suffer same the fate as that narrow minded, bald Jedi, the boy was relieved when the Emperor merely asked him another question.
"And what other technolgical advances are made? I presume that my Empire does not focus all of its industrial efforts into constructing a planet sized battle station"?
Sighing in relief at this change of topic, the boy eagerly began to list off the mixture of super weapons that had proved to be of greater efficiency than the Death Star.
"Well, I know that some of your super star destroyers, or dreadnoughts I forget which, where fitted out with the same planet destoying lasers as the Death Stars. You came up with a weapon that could automatically produce weapons and veichles by using it to strip a planet of its resources, though after you used it on Mon Calamari you decommissioned them because you were afraid of what would happen if their officers became too ambitious. And finally, though this was done a couple of decades after the Empire's fall, forces loyal to the memory of the Empire transformed a planet into a more powerful version of the Death Star".
Not bothering to fight the cruel look of greed that was spreading over his ruined features, Sidious adopted a gravelly version of the voice he had used to convince more than one idealistic youth that he could be trustsed.
"And what makes this new weapon more powerful"?
Sporting an eager smile, the boy told him.
"Well for one, it possessed its own shield generator, which could only be breached if a ship pulled out of light speed at the last second before it crashed into the surface. It possessed the firepower to destroy planets from half way across the galaxy. And it was technically easier to build than a Death Star since all you would have to do is dig into the planets core to install all the hardware to make it operational. And considering that the organization that built it had a mere fraction of your industrial strength, though I gotta admit that their forces were better trained and armed than yours, its entirely plausible that you could have more than one of these bad buys enforcing your will throughout the galaxy".
Allowing his mind to picture what he could accomplish with such power under his command, and feeling oddly generous, the Emperor dismissed the boy with a regal wave of his hand.
"You have provided me with much to think about young one. I am most pleased with the fact that you chose to discloses this information to me rather than the hidden enemies of my Empire. Since you know that I have my ways of rewarding such usefulness, I will consider to grant your request after I verify that the information you've given me is accurate. Until I send for you, which I judge to be at least a standard day, you are to be treated as an honored guest within the confines of my palace. With my servants catering to your every whim provide that it doesn't place either yourself, or the security of my Empire in jeopardy".
Nodding in weary gratitude at the Sith Lord's declaration, for he knew that he could have ended up like the leaders of the now defunct CIS, the boy made his way to leave, but not before voicing a request that he was sure to be granted.
"Ummm...if its not tooo much trouble, would it be possible to spend that time with a bit of female companionship? Preferably Twi'lek, but I wont say no to a Togruta or Zabrak".
Chuckling darkly at the boy's rather obvious request, Sidious nodded his head in acceptance before he turned his back on the now grinning boy.
"They will be sent to your assigned quarters within the hour. Now leave me boy. I have much to think about".
Doing his best to contain his excitement at having his fantasy of getting it on with a hot alien babe come true, the boy quickly followed the now present red guard to his new room, but not before hearing the Emperor speak words that managed to surpass the joy he felt at getting laid.
"Send Lord Vader to me. We have much to discuss".
...
And thats another chapter done. Now I get the fun to set up the interactions between the Empire fan and other bad ass characters.
I admit that this chapter had been on my mind for a while, but only recently...ie. the last hour before I posted it, that I had the inspiration to complete it.
Thank you for the Reviews, nice to see that my view points are shared.
Trying to keep it as plausible as possible..cause what Dark Side Star Wars Fan would pass up the opportunity to sleep with hot alien women while getting the chance to command a fleet of badass Star Destroyers :P...and since hes aware of Sidious's thought process, he knows not to ask for too much.
Next chapter will see the first appearance of Vader, though whether or not hes informed about the spoilers is still undecided.
As always...REVIEWS MAKE ME HAPPY/GIVE ME INSPIRATION.
