The Empire of the Hand fought here!
As the Imperial Sadera Expeditionairy Army march through the GATE, they arrive to a world that's was foreign, even for veterans that served on the fringes of the Empire. Then they saw that the GATE opens in the of middle of city. And they decided to attack, straight away and were more like a mob, and not as disciplined soldiers.
But they attacked the Hand of Thrawn, the capital of the Empire of the Hand, and they didn't get too far, as they'd attack a capital that's more like a military base, so the Imperial Stormtrooper Garrison (at regiment-level military strength) stationed at the capital, was more than enough to destroy the Saderan Army, before it can far in its antics, with the garrison Stormtroopers maybe with some, getting a few arrows to the knee (insert chessy ba-dum-crash played by Deadpool).
Grand Admiral Thrawn, and most of his high command were somewhere else in the Empire of the Hand at the time, and when they heard of it, they swiftly return back, and being told that the Hand of Thrawn was attacked by an invasion force that uses melee weapons and large flying reptiles.
For the Chiss Grand Admiral (the only non-human Imperial officer of high military ranking), this was... unexpected event out of his hands. But he takes it in his stride, and seeing the advantages a new world can bring to the Empire of the Hand, begin preparations for an expeditionary force where the Saderan Army had came from.
The first problem is that the GATE entrance is pathetically small. The standard Imperial armoured fighting vehicle, the AT-AT, cannot fit through the gateway. Thus, small AFVs were used for the time being (large AFVs will be overkill anyways), while Empire of the Hand's scientests try to figure out on how to enlarge the GATE.
Another problem, was the Rebel Alliance. In order to fool the Rebels, Thrawn contructed a garrison building around the GATE, so the sudden influx of Imperial Soldiers in the Hand of Thrawn, will not alert them to the prescence of the GATE. He also constructed a tunnel, where material can be funneled, to contruct anything in the world beyond.
A few weeks later, military forces of the Empire of the Hand, marched through the GATE and arriving on Alnus hill (also known crudely as Anus hill by the Stormtroopers), crushing the Imperial Saderan Garrison stationed there, and begin construction of a military garrison.
Molt sent the armies of his vassal states, to 'defend Alnus hill' (when in reality, he was sending them there to die). The leaders of the vassal allied armies didn't want to fight the outworlders, as they heard of the 'men in white armour' and the power they wield, but they will defend their lands from the outworlder invaders. Then a blue-skinned, red-eyed, outworlder, accomanied by the men in white armour with strange staffs, came into the vassal allied armies' camp.
This is when Thrawn will use soft power tatics, such as diplomacy, to persuade them to do his bidding, and if he encountered more stubborn opponents, he will use more forceful tatics. But when push comes to shove, he had no qualms of obiliterating the opposition to extinction, if he was left with no better alternatives.
Besides, Thrawn doesn't want to waste so much blaster ammunition, on someone that could be an ally, and thus, Thrawn wanted allies in the new world, and these vassals are a good fit. Thrawn openly told the leaders of the vassal allied armies, that they're on a suicidal fool's errand by Molt, dying for someone and something, that they didn't fully believed in.
The vassals, well, they're lucky that the GATE open within the Empire of the Hand. If the GATE had opened elsewhere in another part of the galaxy, they will be utterly crushed, and that high-ranking imperial officer that isn't Thrawn will brutally retaliate, and there will be no negotiation, and that Imperial and his army, will be halfway towards Sadera, killing anyone who stood in their way.
Though some of the vassal allied commanders didn't like the idea of negotiating with a blue skinned, red-eyed, outworlder, as continues his arguements, they began to relizead that Thrawn has merited reasoning, unlike Molt's orders, now that they know Molt's intentions. And Thrawn let the vassal allied armies go home, unmolested of their weapons and equipment, knowing that people will take advantage of the lawlessness if he'd destroyed the vassal allied armies.
Of course, word of the vassal allied armies returning back to their homes, got back to a now furious Molt, whose mental stability capacity, was the now the same as someone high on deathsticks, as he ordered a scorched earth policy, the infamous 'loot all, kill all, burn all' policy.
Hours after the vassal armies begining to return home, Thrawn ordered recon compaines to be formed, equipped with AT-Scout and swoop bikes, with Fourth Recon Team being the most famous. They made the first contact at Coda Village, meeting the people, and talking with them, with most of the stormtrooper being able to relate to the villagers, as the stormtroopers were from back-water planets.
And Fourth Recon, then left the village, and went scouting off, and stumble upon a destroyed Elven village, rescuing the only survivor of the event, a young Elf named Tuka. They returned back to Coda Village, and the locals knew what can cause such destruction. A Flame Dragon.
But suddenly, the Flame Dragon attacks the village. This was suprising, as the Flame Dragon was dormant for several hundred years, but it seems to have awaken early, for a good feed. It destroyed some of the swoop bikes, and killed some of the stormtroopers, and though suprised, the Stormtroopers fought back, and eventually destroy the Flame Dragon, destroying by shooting in the underbelly with a rocket launcher.
Thanks to Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Empire of the Hand's military, is one of the best in the wider Galatic Empire, being well-trained and highly-motivated, equipped with some of the best equipment that's designed by the Empire of the Hand and led by officers that had been promoted for merit, rather than birth.
The Coda villagers were grateful for the 'men in white armour' due to destroying the Flame Dragon, and awarded them several items. One of the rewards, was a Falmartian artwork. They took it back with them, knowing that Thrawn will be most pleased of having the first piece of art from Falmart, and reward them handsomely.
A mage, by the name of Leilei, wanted to come along with the men in white armour, who call themselves as 'Stormtroopers', as she wants to know who these men in white armour are, and where did they come from.
As the Fourth Recon Platoon returns to base, they encounter Rory. The Recon's platoon leader felt a bit weird about letting in this person, who looks like pre-teen, but is extremly... what is a better word. Horny? Randy? That's because, she is sitting, right on his... urgh, grion area. And moving quite alot.
Anyway, they return to base, and they're surprised at everything at they see. The structure, was turn into an impenetrable fortress, the amount of resources invested into the fortress, was enough that the Empire of the Hand can comfortably defend it from foolish Falmartian idiots, but also not to raise suspicion among either the Rebel Alliance, or other politicking imperial officers, due to the sudden and large need for construction material.
And Thrawn was indeed pleased that Fourth Recon manage to find a piece of artwork from the world, and indeed reward the recon team hansomely. Other recon teams did have similar sucess in that they have made contact with locals.
Rory, Leilei and Tuka, finds Thrawn to be cold, calculated, and ruthless, but he does care for those under his command. They were impressed with his art collection from the other world, and Rory was intrested on how Thrawn predict his enemies' moves, just from his vast art collection. They're suprised that Sadera attatcked an Empire within an Empire, with the latter being an entire galaxy. Then they realizead that the Saderans, had made the worst mistake in the history of their empire.
This is when Darth Vader was came in, as Emperor Palpatine felt a disturbance in the force from near the capital of Empire of the Hand, and assigned Vader, to investigate what is going on there. Accompanying Vader, was two drioids, named Triple Zero, and BT-1, the equvialant evil driod pair of the more famous C3-PO and R2-D2.
When Vader arrived, he sees Grand Admiral Thrawn, who told him that the reason why that Vader may sense force users, is that there was a GATE leading to a new world, and that they encountered some sort of Force users. Intrigued, Vader goes through the GATE, and meets the locals that Fourth Recon picked up. Vader sees the three Falmartians. Tuka is nothing special, but he can sypathise with her backstory. Leilei uses magic, intresting, but is not a force user, and therefore, no threat, but Rory was the most intresting.
Vader analyse her, and can see and feel that Rory was different, as although she has some sort of power exerting from her, yet she never seems to exhibits all the traits of a force wielder.
Rory was doing the same thing to Vader, as she felt Vader's negative feelings, his anger, his hatred, his bitterness, his pain and loss. And the fact that the supressed names and mermories of Anakin Skywalker, Shimi Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Padme Amadala, raises Rory's suspsions. Rory pushs Vader, by questioning wether the names, Anakin Skywalker, Shimi Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amadala concerns him.
Now, Thrawn has done it once before, altough less extreme, but it almost resulted him being force chocked by Vader, but once he relizead that Darth Vader is not Anakin (being that Darth Vader was in a state of mental imprisonment), he dropped the subject and never spoke for it again.
The questions by Rory, of course, agrevate Vader and he did not answer. But as she keep pushing for answers, her pestering, finally enrages Darth Vader, who proceeds to attack Rory with his lightsaber, as the names are connected to his 'previous life'.
Using his anger and hatred in the Force, he proceeded to strike down Rory with his lightsaber, only for Rory parrys the attacks with her weapon, much to the shock of everyone. For a few short moments, Rory manages to hold her ground against Darth Vader, much to his suprise, adding more to his anger.
This is when Thrawn order his men, to use their blasters to shock-tase Rory, causing her to become unconscious.
Furious at Rory, Vader ordered his personal guard, to be frozen in carbonite, to be seen by the emperor. Triple Zero and BT-1 were disappointed in their own way, as in that Triple Zero didn't have the chance to torture Rory, and BT-1 didn't have the chance to obliterate Rory.
Thrawn let Vader take Rory back to the Emperor, as that force wielder wasn't his concern. This is when Vader thought that if there was one force wielder capable of taking him on, there will be many others like her. He told his progress and thoughts to his master, who proceeded to tell him to continue what he's doing, and cooperate with Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Thrawn told Vader of how he planned to end the war, quickly and efficiently. The plan was simple. Stormtroopers will be transported to key Saderan areas to impose the Galatic Empire's will, while Thrawn, Vader, Vader's driods, and some stormtroopers will go to the Sadera, the capital of the Saderan Empire.
This is due to that Thrawn had wasted enough time, and he didn't want to fight a prolonged war, Thrawn and Vader, went onto a military transport, accompanied by TIE Interceptors, as Operation Anvil begins.
Stormtroopers capture important Saderan cities, and began to impose order onto the native populace. There were some resistance, but they were easily crushed. Rondel was difficult, but thanks to military training and experience, the Stormtroopers successfully suppressed Rondel's resistance.
When Thrawn and Vader's transport reach the capital, the Saderan try to use their dragons to try and attack the transport and fighters, but the TIE Interceptors, simple ran circles around the dragons, shooting them down the dragons, and destroyed the military areas, for good measure, just in case, the Saderans call for reinforcement within the city.
Then, the transport landed, and Vader knocked down the guards at the door to prevent them from interfering with the negotiations. And Thrawn, Vader, Vader's droids, and some stormtroopers come inside the building.
They meet Emperor Molt, who was not happy that the outworlder manages to reaches the capital, but was ham-fisted into negotiations. They were somewhat beginning negotiations, when Zoral and his riffing band of idiotic friends and guards, came in. Along with Zoral's sex slaves. It's never known what Zoral was thinking at the time, bringing his slaves along. Whatever he was thinking, it sealed the fate of him and the Saderan Empire.
When Vader saw the slaves, he was overcome with rage, as doesn't want to remembers those memories, those time of suffering on Tatooine as Anakin. He demanded that Zoral release the slaves... or else. Zoral was enraged by the man in black armour, who made such outrageous demands, and orders his friends and guards to attack him. This is when sh- I mean drunk, really hits the fan.
Vader brings out his lightsaber, and was probably be thinking right at this moment, 'This is where the fun begins.' He lunges towards Zoral's friends and guards, cutting them down in swift and rapid succession, slicing off limbs and heads. Shocked, they tried to fight back, but were moved out of the way though the Force, or cut down.
Zoral had his right hand, and both legs, cut off. Though the slaves were liberated, Zoral was still defiant, so Vader orders Triple Zero to torture Zoral, much to Triple Zero's delight.
Triple Zero over came with excitement, unnerving the Saderan with his talking of equaling to himself torturing Zoral, to a child opening a present on their birthday. Zoral was still defiant, saying that he will never break under the metal man's torture, but Triple Zero then callously replied 'we shall see'. Triple Zero, proceeded to brutally tortures, with Zoral's screams being very loud. Ha, he will 'never break' and then proceeds to break within two seconds.
This is when a Molt, enraged by the treament of his son, ordered his own guards try to attack Vader, believing that the toturing procedure will distract him, but Vader knew what was about to happen, Molt's guards were easily cut down by Vader's guards, BT-1, and Thrawn's stormtroopers. Diabo was also killed in the fire, killed by a stray laser bolt.
Vader then began to force choke Molt, for attempting to attack them. Pina was on the sidelines, but Pina cannot stand by and watch her family get killed by some outworlders.
In a vain effort to save her father, Princess Pina co Lada attacks Vader with her sword, only for the sword to have no effect on Vader, and Vader returns the favour, by slicing off her hand with his lightsaber. This when Vader crushes Molt's windpipe, and drop his body, with it lying onto the floor, in front of the throne chair.
And at Vader's order, Triple Zero finally ended Zoral's toture, by electricution, killing him almost instantly. As Pina was in catonic shock at the loss of her fighting hand and family right in front of her, Vader toss something onto the floor in front of her.
It was a rock, and in her anger, Pina demands what so special about this rock. Then Vader told her that it was one of the few remains of a planet, who decided to foolishly rebel against the Galatic Empire and Emperor Palpatine. The remains, was from the planet of Alderaan. Pina drop the rock. Pina must have thought, did they attacked an empire, that can destroy other planets? She relizead that in order for she, and her nation survive, she must make peace with the Galatic Empire (technically, the Empire of the Hand).
And peace she gave, being forced to her once mighty empire, to becoming a puppet nation, and her, becoming its puppet ruler. At the end, Vader reminded her that she and her empire, should know their place, or else, they will return, and they won't be as merciful as the first time round. Thrawn didn't really care how Vader handles the peace treaty, as long as they obey the Galatic Empire's laws and pay their tribune, then there's no need for more death and destruction of Sadera. Vader, Thrawn and their attendants, left the room, with Pina to mourn the death of her family, alone.
Sorry for taking so long. Zombie apocalypse next.
