Despite the horrifying events of the past 3 months, Bail Organna couldn't help the joy he felt when he looked into the peacefully sleeping face of his adopted daughter.

For many years, he and his wife Breha had always shared the dream of having children together, but thanks to the pressures of his career, and the fact that neither parent wanted to raise a family during a galaxy spanning conflict, they had been unable to fulfill their dream until days after the fall of their beloved Republic.

While he had not been blind to level of corruption that pervaded the galactic government, the Senator of Alderan had believed that the Republic, protected by its Force wielding guardians, was perhaps the only political entity in which the average citizen could have the freedom to become whatever they set their mind to.

And now, thanks to the machinations of the man who had managed to fool the denizens of the galaxy that he had their best interests at heart, the Jedi Order had been broken thanks to the corruption of one of their most powerful members, thousands if not millions of worlds lay in ruins thanks to a conflict that could have been peacefully resolved if not avoided if more senators had possessed the same strength of character as the mother of his adopted child, and Democracy had been supplanted by an Empire that would only grow more tyrannical as it consolidated its grip across the galaxy.

And to make matters worse, like Padme had said, the transition from a democracy to a dictatorship had been greeted with thunderous applause.

Already, many of his like minded colleagues had been arrested on charges of treason for daring to speak out against the increased decision making powers of the former Chancellor. And he knew that this purge would only continue to get worse as it removed anyone who failed to show enthusiasm for the new Empire. He had heard whispers that the officer corps of the newly organized Imperial Military was also undergoing such a process, with many officers who had defended the now publicly disgraced Jedi now facing imprisonment or worse.

It was hard to believe that his new daughter, and her twin brother, would be the ones to eventually bring an end to the darkness that now controlled the Galaxy. But until that joyous day could arrive, and even though he may not live to see the it, he would lay the ground work so that freedom and justice could one day return to the galaxy.

However, before he could begin to imagine just what role his daughter would play in the restoration of the Republic, his attention was drawn to the frantic squirming of a now awake Leia.

"Whats wrong little one? Have a bad dream"?

Considering who her true father was, Bail wouldn't be surprised if Leia's current discomfort had something to do with her force connectivity. And while Masters Yoda and Kenobi had done what they could to ensure that Padme's daughter would be able to pass as a non force sensitive, it was likely that given the emotional state of an infant, their was bound to be some leakage.

But as he went to pick up his adoptive daughter to cradle her in his arms, a fearful looking member of his security detail burst through the door.

"Your Highness. Get your family to the shelter. Now!"

Scooping up the now crying Leia, the galactic representative of Alderan fought down his rising fear as he complied with the security officers wishes. And as he ran down the corridors to collect his wife, he could only pray that this was a terror attack made by the more remnants of the defeated CIS rather than the servants of the newly established Empire.

Unfortunately, he was soon to discover that it was both.

...

Rage.

That was the overwhelming feeling that was coursing through his broken body right now. To think that the Jedi would have the audacity to not only contribute in the murder of his wife, but to steal his child and hide it with someone who would no doubt place it in danger once he began his treasonous activities, that was unforgivable.

Since his master had told him that Padme had survived long enough to give birth to their child, the newly minted Sith Lord had hunted down the surviving remnants of the Jedi Order in the hopes that he would rescue the last memory of his beloved wife before it too could be poisioned against him.

All of his leads resulted in failure. And though his master praised him for his increasing connection to the Dark Side of the Force, with his unaided triumph against the 8 Jedi who sought to ambush him in the mines of Kessel being a prime example of his growing prowess, Vader only acknowledged that he had been no closer to discovering the whereabouts of his child.

But 3 days ago, his master had directed him to pay a visit to Alderan and make sure that its government was following the new laws of the Empire. Initially he had been somewhat annoyed by this task, given that their were far better uses of his time, but that had quickly changed mere hours before his ship entered the Alderan system.

One of his master's spies in the royal household had overheard the senator and his wife discussing the background of their newly adoptive daughter. And while the agent had been unable to hear anything overly incriminating, they did manage to catch the word's Jedi, Amidala, and daughter. And if that wasn't enough to raise his suspicions, the latest piece of information that he had come just before his descent to the planet had transformed his suspicions into near certainty. For at the same time that they had welcomed a child into their lives, 2 droids had also entered their service, ones that he hadn't seen since that terrible day on Mustafar.

The mention of the Jedi and his dead wife.

The fact that the adoptive daughter of his wife's most trust ally possessed the name that would have gone to his child if it had been a girl.

And the presence of the gold plated protocol droid and a blue colored astromech in the household of a known Jedi sympathizer was more than enough to convince him that he was finally getting close to his goal.

And since his master had seen fit to provide him with 2 battalions of recently reactivated commando droids as well as a newly refurbished Munificent Class Star Frigate, Vader knew that the elder Sith Lord was counting on him to ensure that their would be no trace of Imperial involvement with this little mission.

That had only been one of the more surprising decisions that the Emperor had made at the beginning of his rule. While the newly reorganized Imperial Military was busy consolidating its hold across the galaxy, usually by dealing with Separatist holdouts or reestablishing law and order to systems that had been cut off from the core, the Emperor had decided to utilize the technical skills of his new apprentice, as well as a number of loyal programmers and hackers, to secretly reactivate a small portions of the deactivated CIS droid forces in order to fulfill various tasks that would cause a large public outcry if it was linked to the Imperial government.

Attacking systems that had wavering loyalties to the new regime in order to have cause for an increased Imperial presence, justifying the continued expansion of the Imperial military, and providing the labor for a list of secret government projects. His master had proved that even after he had achieved the goal of his predecessors, he was still capable of great vision. The use of a droid labor force had in fact been a great surprise to the new Sith Lord, but he had fully embraced the idea since he had recognized that this method would allow the Empire to continue its expansion without resulting to the enslavement of multitudes of people.

And with his master already playing around with the idea of expanding into Hutt Space, it appeared that the dream of Anakin Skywalker might indeed come to pass.

Scowling beneath his mask as he was once again confronted with the fact that he was still thinking about the youthful idealism of his former self, Vader turned his attention back towards his personal squad of Commando Droids who shared the space in the Separatist Shuttle.

"Once we reach the planet's surface, your orders are to quickly suppress any opposition you might encounter. You are to set your weapons to stun should you come across the Organna family, and are to immedatly report in should you come across any infant child. Do I make myself clear".

"Roger roger".

Turning his back on his droid strike team, Vader resumed his stance in the cockpit, eagerly looking forward to reclaiming what was rightful his.

"I'm coming for you my child. You will be mine, and all that stand in my way will suffer".

...

It had all been for naught.

Their communications had been jammed by the CIS warship that hovered over the capital city of Aldera. Dozens if not hundreds of Commando Droids surged through the palace cutting down his valiant security forces as they tried to give him and his wife a chance to escape. And most terrifying of all, he had watched in growing fear as his nightmare came true.

He and his small family had managed to make it to the security bunker that layed underneath the palace, only to find that escape was impossible as both exits where blocked by the squads of the more efficient soldiers of the previously dead separatist forces.

His men had put up a terrific fight, but that had all ended when HE came.

The first sign that something unexpected was to happen was the sudden halt in the droids blaster fire.

Then through the smoky corridors, they heard the heavy footsteps of their encroaching doom, soon joined by the sound of mechanical breathing that echoed off of the walls.

And just as his men's terror could not get any worse, a nightmarish figure announced its presence with the familiar sound of a activated lightsaber.

His men had bravely opened fire on the black colored monster, but it had all been pointless as the figure redirected their shots back to the men who bravely stood their ground, before the armor clad nightmare cut them apart with powerful strikes of his weapon.

With all of his men dead before him, and conscious of the fact that he had only one chance to try and save his family, Bail got down on his knees and begged for mercy.

"Please, do what ever you want with me. Just spare my wife and daugh...GRKK".

Grasping uselessly at the invisible chokehold around his neck, Bail watched in growing fear as he looked into the reflected lens of the black armored figure.

"She is not your daughter Senator. She is mine".

And just before he felt the pressure snap his neck, Bail Organna, Senator of Alderan, saw his wife break down in grief as the droids took his crying daughter and offered it to the former Jedi.

...

Annnnnnd that's it for now.

First chapter were we actually see the consquences of what the Boy has told the Emperor.

Got reactivated Commando droids for those missions which would generate bad publicity if it was Imperial forces doing the same thing. Reason rebellion was successful was the Empire got bad publicity while it consolidates its rule. Tarkin landing his ship on protestors is one example. So I figure, the Emperor could consolidate his grip..AND get greater public support if he uses the droid army to accomplish his less than pleasant business.

Got another Vader scene that borrows heavily from the ending part of Rouge One (I was cheering in theatres during that BADASS scene where he's killing rebels like their nothing). As well as some increased capabilities since he has something to live rather than just existing as the Emperor's errand boy (Think his connection to the Dark Side would be much greater if he believed that the Jedi were hiding his child)

Also think that having Vader go after Leia would be an informed decision since Palpatine would probably be more impressed with the skywalker twin that plays a larger role in the rebellion than luke did. (i.e. Leader vs Solider)

Vader has yet to make the acquaintance of the boy, Palpatine of course keeping things close to the chest until he has to reveal them, but that will soon change. And will also introduce Solo and Aphra to the cyborg Sith Lord very soon.

Next scene of course will see another consequence of the boy's meddling...but this time...I'm thinking of making it Tarkin or Thrawn centric. Havent decided yet.

Anyways...hope you all enjoyed this.

Death to the Rebellion, and LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE.
