The Senate building, the capital of the Galatic Republic the one that has been at war for a little under 20 years
The role of the Senate is to uphold law and order, yet it seems that chaos prevails with no end in sight. Despite their claims of patriotism, it's evident that many senators are driven by self-interest, while corporations prioritize profit above all else. Furthermore, certain pro-war senators remain steadfast in their desire to fight the separatists, even if it comes at the Republic's expense. The latest issue at hand involves Terracrest's refusal to trade their Baskar with us.
I visited the Repulsorpods to meet with Titus Firebrand, the Terracrest representative whom I've grown to appreciate through numerous trade deals. I admire his principles of integrity and fairness, as he's always ready to defend his planet. Despite being a significant figure in Terracrest politics, he prefers to keep his pro-military and UTG support a secret. However, he confided in me about it, which I appreciated. One thing that perplexes me is how he appears uneasy around Mikasa.
As soon as he noticed my presence, Titus stood up and warmly greeted me with a handshake. He is known for his formal demeanour, which he upholds until he is out of the public's sight. I asked him if he was nervous about the upcoming meeting, and he calmly responded that he had a fallback plan and wasn't too worried. Before I could inquire further about his plan, Palpatine, whom I believed to be a friend and advocate of peace, interrupted with a power-hungry proclamation. He urged his fellow Senators to allow the Terracrest representative to speak, and I swiftly moved the console to the centre of the Senate chamber for Titus to deliver his address.
"Members of the Senate, I come before you to discuss the situation we find ourselves in. Trade I know that there are some senators here right now who would consider me a separatist from our trading history but I would like to reiterate that we cannot trade our Terranium, or as you may call it Baskar without facing any consequences." As he reaches down to grab his drink, I notice that he often resorts to drinking to alleviate stress. However, before he can resume speaking, he is interrupted by Senator Lott Dod of the Trade Federation, who advocates for war. Through the time I've spent with him, I've come to recognize this pattern of behaviour.
"I'm curious about the consequences you mentioned. How severe could they be? As the Republic, we would be willing to assist you in managing any repercussions," Lott Dod said, appearing satisfied with himself. Titus interjected, "The consequences we face are an official declaration of war from the UTG." While many were stunned, I observed that Mikasa seemed deep in thought. I'll have to speak with her about it later. Before Lott Dod could respond, the Mandalorian representative spoke.
"Why not join the Republic? We can offer protection and you can supply us with Baskar," they boasted, seeming proud. However, Titus interjected, "But we would still face invasion by the UTG. We agreed to not trade our Terranium with anyone but them and to not join the Republic." The Senate remained silent, waiting for someone to speak up. Then Mikasa questioned, "What did you receive in return? It appears to be a one-sided deal."
"the deal may seem one-sided but it isn't, what we got was that the UTSC allowed us to keep all defences they had built, a small fleet of ships, and the UTG has to pay up to three times the price of goods from us" Titus had replied to Mikasa's comment about the arrangement but I feel like he's holding back information about the deal it still seems like they still got the short end of the stick "I still don't understand why you would take this deal it still seems onesided why to take the deal then" Mikasa was still trying to push information out of him he replied now irritated "we only got that because of the emperor's wife convinced him to go for a peaceful result rather than one that would result in the death of many"
During a Senate meeting, concerns were raised about the UTG's intentions to harm innocent civilians on a planet seeking independence. Mas Anneda brought order to the room by slamming his staff on the ground. Palpatine urged fellow senators to make a decision, reminding them that the Terracrest representative would not be present the following day and lives were at stake. As the meeting came to a close, I returned to my console while Titus continued to drink heavily.
I told Titus to follow me to my office, on the way there I saw Mikasa and Bail talking and told them to join us. I sat down in my chair "How do you feel after that" I asked Titus while he continually drank from his bottle till it finished "Terrible, I might as well of just told them to invade" I was sympathising with him he came here to try and stop an invasion but know its more likely it's going to happen. "there's still a chance the invasion doesn't happen we just have to think of a good strategy" Mikasa began writing something onto a piece of paper "we'll meet before the debate and think of some strategies to convincing some people, for now, goodbye" I said as they all got up and left me in the room with my thoughts
Mikasa Ackerman was a new senator for Talthor, a planet known for its mining industry and major human population. She only started about a year ago but she became rather popular because of her looks and because of how she acted, she was mostly pro-peace but she wanted what was best for the people. from what I know about her is that she has a daughter whos around 5 years old called Ava Ackerman I've seen her a few times. She is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a while, Mikasa had told me that her father had died when she was around 3 years old in a crazy ship malfunction which just makes my heart ache to lose a parent at such a young age

I offered to request the Emperor's support in case the Republic launched an invasion. Currently, our fleet consists of 5 Paris-class frigates, 5 Charon-class light frigates, 3 Marathon-class heavy cruisers, 3 Autumn-class cruise ships, 4 Halcyon-class light cruisers, and 4 Stalwart-class light frigates. In addition, we have been provided with some ODPs, and the new MKVI AATIS guns are crucial for our defence. It is essential to consider how long the AATIS guns can withstand the attack, as once they fail, we may lose the planet.
Upon entering the throne room, I noticed the presence of the Royal Guards Corps all around. There were also two stands beside the throne where the Emperor sat. I respectfully removed my cap and bowed down before addressing him. "Your Majesty, I humbly come before you not as the Admiral of Terrancrest, but as one of your loyal subjects seeking your assistance," I stated, patiently waiting for his response.
I waited for what seemed hours till I heard him speak "What is it you require from me" This was one of the few times I've ever heard his voice I was amazed at it till I snapped back to reality and said "I request you sent one of your great fleets to the Luxor Cluster in preparations for a potential invasion from the Republic and the stopping the Republic form stealing your Terranium and Auracite" I was starting to feel the pressure of speaking to one of the most powerful people in the galaxy hoping I don't slip up on my words "what makes you sure there will be an invasion and why should I have my ships defending your home" I was shocked that he would say that
After careful consideration, I presented a well-reasoned argument. I pointed out that the system in question held valuable resources like Terranium and Auracite, which were crucial to the Order of the Terra Knights. I also warned that our opponents would likely send a fleet to claim the system because of its strategic importance. Eventually, my counterpart acknowledged my points and decided to launch the Imperial Crusade. However, to my surprise, they revealed that Death, Vader, and other high-ranking members of the UTSC would be joining the mission, along with a significant portion of their fleet. Despite the daunting odds, I remained optimistic that we would emerge victorious in the coming conflict.

Dealing with the Senate was quite tiring. Their oblivious nature makes them easy to manipulate, which helps me gain more power and push forward my agenda.
The issue at hand is Terracrest's abundance of Baskar, and Intel hints at their possession of Kyber crystals, which would greatly aid in my new Empire's creation. These plans have been in progress for millennia, but they may crumble if the UTG doesn't submit to me or relinquish their power. If they refuse, they will learn firsthand what a real Empire entails - my Empire.
In response to their disrespectful actions, I may need to send a fleet of ships. However, if the UTG retaliates by sending their fleet to defend their system, I may need to send an even larger armada to assert our superiority. Their decision to leave my Republic and withhold the location of their planets presents a challenge, but I am determined to show them their place.
Since their discovery, they had a weak influence on the force. However, when it was revealed that they possessed force sensitivity, their presence became significant. But now, I sense nothing from them as if they never had any force ability to begin with. I must investigate this further, but first, I need to strategize the downfall of the UTG.
Nothing will stop me from creating my Empire, not even a few slug-throwing soft-skins, nothing will stop me from destroying the Republic and the Jedi Nothing

today it's decided if the Republic starts another pointless war the war to submit Terracrest's resources to weapons of war.
I entered my pod remembering the plan that, Bail and Mikasa had come up with. it was to try and reach for any senator who would listen to that this war wouldn't make us any better than the Sepertists the very people we are fighting against. before I could continue thinking Mas Anneda brought down his staff calling the senate into order. "I propose that we declare war on the people of Terracrest for their refusal to trade their Baskar" A pro-war senator had come out to the centre and began to speak as others were hearing them on
"they are refusing because they are in fear of being invaded by the UTG, which is a valid reason and what makes it that everyone must trade with us is, what makes us the one who decider" I spoke in retaliation towards the senator. I was getting boos from some senators but most were quite
"Do you honestly believe him, why would the Terrans involve them in such a useless matter that's why I will not back down from this invasion" The senate erupted into cheers once again. I looked over to Mikasa to see her looking bore
"my fellow senators we are no better than the Separatists if we go through with this, we are thinking of invading a planet over them not wanting to trade with us what makes us different from the separatists" Mikasa moved her pod towards me and the other senator I could see the cheers had stopped most of the senators I had seen was in agreement with her
"what if they join the Separatists then, they would have the Baskar, Baskar is meant to be in Mandolorian hands so I call for an invasion" the Mandolorian senator spoke now joining us followed by an uproar of cheering
"my fellow senators I believe it is time we vote on this matter, for an invasion or to continue negotiations" Palpatine spoke out to cut off anyone else who wants to talk as we return our pods to their original location and began voting
after I voted I looked around the senators hoping they were more open to peace than they are to a potential all-out war with one of the galactic superpowers "The results are in, and with a slight majority we have decided to declare war on Terracrest as of now we are at war with the Separatists and the people of Terracrest" the senate erupted into cheers over the news, I looked around in discarded at these people who say they have the people in their mind
I looked over at Bail to see he was disappointed in the decision then looked at me, sighed and walked out of his pod. looked towards Mikasa after her with fear all over her face without wasting time she got up and left. I need to talk to Obi-wan and Ahsoka Tano

everything was going according to plan once I have control over Terracrest I will have them working harder than they ever have to refit my ships with pure Baskar armouring along with the clone's armour creating the perfect soldier from the perfect training to gear and armour. the Imperial army will be unstoppable, but that's not possible yet
I have to find a way to stop the UTG from interfering with plans I will have to send more ships than needed just to scare them into submission if they don't submit they will face the consequences of a quick defeat
With the death of my apprentice Darth Vader death, I've been looking for a new one but I think I have found one his son Luke Amidala or Skywalker will soon become my apprentice and we will rule the galaxy with an iron fist

Eren Yeager
Darth Vader and Death, are two of the most trusted people I know I've known Death for most of my life, and Vader I've known him for 20 years he's always been more of an uncle to me than a military officer. The thing I most dislike about both is their hatred towards each other, Vader has a kind of sense of honour whereas Death just wants to kill he doesn't care how but sometimes I think he prefers the most brutal way possible.
"Emperor, you requested my presence," Vader knelt before me. Behind him stood Vega, Seraphina, and Atlas - handpicked by myself as his protectors, although their loyalty towards me is not as strong as I would prefer, they make up for it with their devotion to Vader. "You wished to speak with me?" As Death entered the room with his Dark Legion closely following, they all appeared identical in appearance and voice, yet each possessed a unique personality. Death answered me, and his legion was discovered on his flagship, The Reaper's Scythe. He employs them as assassins for missions he deems unworthy of himself, and they are incredibly effective at their tasks.
"It comes to my attention that the Republic is at war with Terracrest, with extension, us so tell me how do you think we should solve this problem" I waited for a few minutes before I heard Deaths battle mask activating "I have a feeling on killing some senators would put them in their place, especially the one from Naboo what was her name Padme I think or" before he could finish he was Vader threw him at the wall I swear I heard my wall crack.
Death got up and activated two of his blades "Looks like you still love her, I don't know if I should feel sad for you or not after all you're in love with the enemy" Death signalled his clones to stand down to make it a fair fight, "I think you should tell your dogs to stand-down so we can make this a fair fight, don't you agree" Vader looked behind him to see their lightsabers activated and told them to stand down. Vader ignited both of his lightsabers and both of them began circling each other
"My Emperor I think this has gone on for long enough stop them" Seraphina was taking me all the while death and Vader were still fighting now a little more energetic before I could reply death said "After I'm finished with the senator for Naboo I might do the same to the senator for Talthor" I had a shocked expression on my face before relaxing my face, I taped my finger on my throne, that signalled the guards to subdue both of them. they stopped Vader by putting his head and arms in a lock with their spears but for Death, it was a lot harder as he was less reluctant to accept it they activated the shocking option and began taking shots at his body before they did the same as they did to Vader all while shocking him
"Is this what we have devolved to animals, I thought we were a mighty Empire one that could take on the galaxy. One of our allies who look up to us has asked us for help in defending their home but here we are two of the highest ranking members of the UTSC fighting over what, nothing." I stared into their eyes I could tell the Black Knights were terrified then he spoke up "With all due respect you ordered your guards to assault us" I began walking over to Death while he was kneeling I crouched down and hardened my fist and slammed him into the ground which sacred the Black Knights even more "what was it you said about the from Talthor after all you know who she is don't you"I lifted my hand from his back and walked back to the throne all while the hardened skin was falling off my hand and melting.
the liquid was slowly moving towards me "All of you will be going to Terracrest with Imperial Crusade but the Vader's Fury is to stay back and engage with long-range weapons and will aid in defending the system" They were still silent, the liquid had travelled up the throne and rejoined my body "As you wish" Vader was the only one to speak up as all of them began getting up and heading for the entrance "Vader, Death I'm not finished talking with you two" both of them looked at me then walked over to me "if you ever come into contact with Mikasa or Ava or both of them then they are to be brought back to me" I said this in more of a pleading voice "what would we do if she resists or on the enemy ship" Vader asked while lower his head "they take that highest priority in any conflict send a team to infiltrate the ship or let it pass"
"I'll keep that in mind, what about your parents are they, not Terracrest have they evacuated" Death had always had parents in his mind whenever I tell him to do something annoying. "They refused to leave, so I will be sending extra Royal Guards and Death you will be defending the AATIS guns without them the planet will fall, Vader, you will be providing fighter support for the fleet. You two can tell your subordinates what you want them to do, you're dismissed" Death walked towards the entrance with Vader close behind him.
This is the moment to demonstrate to the Republic the true devastation of war, resulting in the downfall of their powerful nation. Perhaps I will even have the opportunity to reunite with someone special.

"I don't understand why we're listening to Eren Yeager," Vega said as we made our way towards the elevator with the Black Knights walking behind us. Seraphina and Atlas shared their confusion. Lord Vader explained that he had sworn an oath to protect Eren at all costs, but he also feared him. "Why would someone as powerful as Lord Vader fear Eren?" Atlas questioned. "He's known as a psychopath and the Emperor of the Terran Empire."
"He's built one of the most efficient and war-ready empires in history," Lord Vader revealed, "and he's willing to sacrifice billions of lives to achieve his goals." His fear of Eren was justified, especially after witnessing what he had done to Death.
The elevator doors opened just outside of the bridge, I began walking towards it while Vega, Seraphina, and Atlas followed quietly from behind still shocked by what I had said, I put a code into a wall-mounted console allowing the door to open "Admiral Rourke tell the fleet we are departing for Terracrest soon" Rourk was looking at me then walked over towards a holo table and said "Aurora, inform the fleet of the soon departure, and check over inventory" Auroraappeared on the Holo table as a blue orb "Yes sir". Aurora was special in warfare holding command over the ship-based AATIS guns along with assisting with all calculations.
I stood at the window at the front of the bridge before speaking up again "Admiral Rourke, once we arrive this ship is meant to say away from the battle and utilise its long-range weapons." It wasn't hard to tell the crew's confusion "Lord Vader why should we do that, this ship allows us to be strategically superior." he was right but it was Eren who suggested it, and he doesn't do something without reason. "It was the Emperors orders that's why, now Aurora put the fleet in the most effective location with us in the rear then the supercarriers ahead of us, I want every ship to have the most effective rate of fire." I began walking towards the holo table "of course, Lord Vader what else did you expect."
"Now Vega, Seraphina, and Atlas are going to join me in the space battle or Death in defending the AATIS guns" I could sense the uneasy feelings from them, then Atlas stepped up to the holo table and said "I and Vega will help Death, Seraphine will help you since shes the best pilot out of all of us" Vega stood next to Atlas and Seraphine stood next to me "now that's sorted we will discuss strategies when we arrive for now you can rest"

I invited Mikasa, Obi-wan, and Ahsoka I also invited Bail but he couldn't come because something came up on Alderaan. I had food made and was just waiting for them to come. Mikasa was the first one to come and she was with Ava, once they got out of their speeder left and it left that time Ava ran up to me and hugged me "I missed you Aunty Padme" I hugged her back and said "I missed you too" I let go of Ava and got up and walked over to Mikasa and hugged her and let go " how have you been" she followed me into the living room and replied "I've been fine just taking care of Ava" we sat down in the living area
Obi-wan and Ahsoka just got here and with them were their padawans. Luke and Leia, I haven't seen them in about a year or so, I walked up to them and hugged both as tight as I could till Luke said "Cut it out Mum it's only been a year" I loosened my grip and let them go. "Hi Obi-wan, hi Ahsoka how are you" They walked in behind the twins "Hi Padme we're good just wondering why you called us" We all sat down and I began talking "As you know we are at war with Terracrest but we are also at war with the UTG, the Republic is at war with two other superpowers" Obi-wan, Ahsoka, Luke, and Leia were all in shock
"What do you mean we're at war with the UTG" Luke shouted over the table scaring Ava and making her cover her ears "It's true the Senate wants to use their massive Baskar reserves for the war with the Separatists, but that blinded them from the fact that it's the UTG's jewel world they won't give it up without a fight" Mikasa spoke as she kept her eyes on Ava while she was playing close to Ahsoka, Obi-wan was about to speak before Ava cut him off by saying "Why are you orange" Luke and Leia were laughing, Obi-wan kept silent, but Mikasa was fuming than Ahsoka replied "Well its because we I was your age I ate a lot of oranges, and that's why I'm orange" Ava was satisfied with that question and began walking over to Mikasa and sat on her lap.
"What is it you want us to do" Obi-wan now speaking up "I want you four to go with the fleet and try to reach a peaceful option before it gets too violent" We were all in silence till Obi-wan spoke up again "I'll ask the council if I me and Ahsoka can lead this mission, but till then bye" the four Jedi began getting up and I hugged Luke and Leia before they left. "Padme I think we will be leaving, Ava is starting to get tired" I walked over to them and crouched down and asked Ava "Are you tired" She nodded her head then I continued "Yeah that would be fine I'll see you later than"
Mikasa had left leaving me all by myself in the Apartment. sometimes I wish I didn't tell Obi-wan that Anakin was then maybe he might still be here with me and our kids. I miss him so much it kills me that he died because of me
