'Go forth Lady Sadus and gather the Imperial fleet to our cause. It will be needed to destroy the Jedi and the Republic'
The Imperial Navy has been splintered and scattered after the death of Thrawn. They suffer defeat after defeat at the hands of the New Republic. What they need is a true leader, someone powerful who can unite them, someone to fear and keep them totally in line. That is what they have lacked since Endor, a powerful figurehead to rally them together. Someone like me.
This peace negotiation is the perfect opportunity.
I'm seated at a large table dressed in my senatorial robes, on one side are the leaders of the Republic. Mothma, Ackbar, Rieekan, along with myself. On the other side are the Imperial leaders led by Pellaeon, Disra and a few others. They've come together to try to negotiate an end to the Galactic Civil War. The Republic wanting peace, the Imperials grudgingly accepting their defeat. It makes me sick really, even though I've spent the better part of my life fighting for this. But now the situation has changed, I need the Imperial forces to establish my control over the galaxy.
But first I have to secure them to my cause, while not letting anyone on the Republic side know of it happening. This is the moment I've been waiting for.
'Remember fear. Inspire it, feed on it, relish it. Fear is the greatest motivation'
I look over at Mothma and the rest of them, she's going on about something that I couldn't care less about. Closing my eyes I enter the Dark Side, sensing their signatures in the force. I use it to enter their minds and lull them into deep sleep, one that only I can wake them from.
The Imperials watch in surprise and fear as all the members of the Republic delegation suddenly fall out of their seats and hit the floor unconscious. I stand up and use the force to throw the table across the room and smash it into the wall, relishing the obvious fear on their faces.
"My name is Darth Sadus, daughter of Vader and Dark Lady of the Sith. I am taking control of the Empire. All of you will bow to your Empress or die".
"Is this some kind of jok...". A foolish Imperial replies, he doesn't even finish his sentence before his throat is crushed and he falls to the ground dead.
"All who do not bow and swear loyalty to me will be destroyed, this is your last chance".
Their faces turn ashen white as I show them how serious I am. I reach out to the Dark Side and feel my eyes turn yellow, enjoying the horror and fear on their faces. I can feel their terror in the force, their shock as they discover my true identity. I feed on it.
Pellaeon is the first to bow, the rest of them quickly follow his example...a very wise choice.
"The Empire is broken, shattered and in disarray. Under my leadership it will be reforged into the sharp blade it once was. The blade that will pierce the heart of the Republic and conquer the galaxy. All of you will remember this as the day the Empire was reborn, as the beginning of a new age".
"You have our support my liege, we will do whatever you ask of us". Pellaeon tells me, the fear obvious in his voice.
"Good. You are the only ones who know of this, keep it that way. Sign the peace treaty with them, then rally the fleet, when the time is right we will make our move on Coruscant. The Jedi and the New Republic will be caught off guard and we will crush them. Do not let anyone know who I am or you will die a very slow and painful death at my hand."
Then I use the force to float the table back to its former position and all the Republic delegates are placed back in their seats as the Imperials look on in fear and nervousness. Then the body of the fool who defied me is removed from the room. Looking over at Mothma and the others I use the Dark Side to bring them out of their force induced sleep.
"Greetings Admiral Pellaeon, delegates of the Imperial Remnant. We are gathered here to discuss a treaty to end the fighting between our forces, and take an important step forward in the peace process. Shall we begin the negotiations?"
With that the peace summit begins. No one sees the looks of fear and terror the Imperials give me.
