Description As Seen in prior episodes...


The Empress Padme Skywalker;
formerly The Lady Vader;
is enjoying her time as the new leader of the Imperial Republic Empire...

She watches her new charges and old friends confer and mingle, with some trepidation as they tread the new waters that she has now irrigated the galactic scenery with her very presence & willpower...

Jedi Masters Ben & Yoda confer while Aayla & Stass confers with their counterparts;
the Empress Skywalker's converted Dark Hands;
Mara Jade & Lumiya, once the Emperor's Palpatine's own before they turned against their despotic & corrupted Emperor for the then Lady Vader...

"Incredible, Still, it is... The Chosen one, not Anakin, not Leia, not Luke but PADME!?"
-spoke Yoda.

" Yes, Yoda. Even the ex-Emperor's visions were wrong. "
" When he thought that it was Anakin and he wasn't able to corrupt nor sway him to the Dark Side, he had him assassinated during the Jedi Purges. "
-Ben still looks on with his fellow surviving Master Jedis as they also watch the Empress now loyal Sith Lords & Ladies mingle with other fellow Jedi Knights;
an uneasy truce and peace foster by decree;
actually ram'd down everybody's throat by the Empress, Grand Admiral Thrawn and even both Luke & Leia.

" Yes, yes... The Chosen one, to set the Force back into balance but in this manner, not foreseen, no. "
-Yoda contemplates to himself as he watches Mara Jade, the Empress' Hand, flirt with Imperial Senator Luke Skywalker of Alderaan...

--Near Distant Past--

The Then Lady Vader had force choked Grand Moff Tarkin on the first Death Star in order to prevent him from ordering the destruction of the Planet Alderaan where her son was hidden by Ben decades ago and her agents found out whom Luke was when they secretly did some DNA analysis to confirm what she had felt in the force when she meet the adopted child while on tour and felt a familial kindred with the young adopted son of Bail Organa.
'Sooo, that is where Ben & Yoda hid one of my twin babies when I went Sith Mad over the death of my beloved Anakin... Well done, Ben... Pity for you, Tarkin, you picked the wrong planet to test your little toy with... Tho I shall give you a quick death since you unwittingly help me found my missing daughter ... LEIA ... on Tatooine, of all things, a moisture farmer!!'

" Your surface thoughts that I have gleamed off you shows you a greedy traitor that would turn this Death Star of the Empire against the Emperor... "
" Thus, I end your pathetic life and your treachery, ex-Grand Moff Tarkin. "
-speaks The Lady Vader as she and the other Imperial Officers watch in horror as Tarkin breathes his last breathe and stops ...living...

" Captain Daala, you will follow me back to Imperial Command. Your suspicions about his loyalities and his overt ambitions to use the SuperLaser against Coruscant were valid concerns. "
" General Tagge, you will take command of this battlestation and proceed to leave the Alderaan system and go after the Rebels reported at Yavin. "
" I shall not hold you responsible for the escape of the former Imperial Senator Luke Organa with rebels since Tarkin is now officially declared a traitor."
" And don't forget, Tagge, the Emperor takes a dim view of any of his subordinates targeting planets full of loyal citizens of The Imperial Empire... "
" IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, General Tagge?! "

" Ah, YES, Lady VADER! I shall move the ... MY battlestation to Yavin to hunt down any rebel forces there, Milady!! "
-shouts Tagge as he sees her raise her hand, just like before when she choked the living life out of Tarkin.

--Present--

" But to have both sides, Jedi & Sith, Light & Dark Force users together, learning, training, practicing and even ...dating... "
-states Ben...



" The old rules of the Jedi have been eliminated so that this new era of combining the two different traditions of using the Force, both light & dark, can be comprehend and use properly..."
-mused Ben...

" Change ... Difficult, it is, accept no choice ... "


" Me?! I'm a great Pilot, not a herder of beef, princess..."
-Solo pretending to look offended while verbally teasing Leia...

"Well, Thrawn, how goes the loyalities of the Imperial Systems that our once former pruneface once hail sway over, hmmmm...? "
-inquires the Imperial Empress as she playfully moves her leg between his own ...

" My, Lady ... I am please to report that even the Imperial fortress planet Byss has formally surrender to my battlefleets and have even surrender all of the former Emperor's Spaarti Cloning Cylinders that held his own clones. "
" The CloneMasters promptly destroyed the duplicates, thus preventing any usage of Palpatine's clones for future pretenders.."
-spoke Grand Admiral Thrawn as he moves ever closer to his Lady...

" Hmmpt! You do understand that the former Emperor had many secret bases that even I was not aware off that .."

" -That I found and had personally eliminated the cloned but corrupted Jedi Masters defending the facilities & made doubly sure that there was no Palpatine clones anywhere in those facilities..."
-retorted Thrawn as both smiles...

" Maybe so, BUT! "
" There will always be a doubt that he has still an unknown hidden base somewhere with a spare Spaarti Cylinder with a clone body ready to accept his mind... He was still the Master Dark Lord of the Sith ... "
-smiles the Empress as she touches his face tenderly...

" Yes, MiLady, and we in the Fleet, among with your Jedi & Sith warriors and the bounty hunters will continue the hunt and maintain a viligence.. "
" Fear not, My Lady... eventually, we shall prevail. We do have time, the manpower, the Fleet and the material to hunt the known and unknown galaxy..."

" Then kiss me you stubborn man of mine ... but don't get overconfident... "
" It was Daala that revealed the two main hidden facilities;
Byss and the Maw Installation;
that gave you the military & technological edge against the Palpatine loyalist Remnants & their Imperial holdings... "
" Don't get too cocky, my beloved ... "

" I never do ... your Imperial Highness ... "
-embraces the Empress as their ...

I like your force-users! None of that self-rightchous jedi or sith crusade crap. And your usage of Thrawn is awesome! But what of the Noghri? Excuse any bad spelling.

That shortcut link provided by dA didn't work...
Something is wrong with that pound statement ... #
It leads to a blank page

Here is the link : [link]

The Noghri is mentioned in the mini-story thread underneath the commish'd picture...

Luke needs a sexy kickass outfit too.

Why should female characters get to have all the fun?

I'd seriously pondered giving him something akin to Leia's Hutt Slayer outfit, but this was a commission and wasn't sure if they commissioner would be down with that.

Nagillim In reply to lexikimble [2017-12-20 22:33:36 +0000 UTC]

Understandable.

It would be interesting to see what would qualify as a sexualised male costume. It shouldn't be just gender swapping a female costume as the secondary sex characteristics of men and women are different so you'd need to show and/or accentuate different body parts.

Historically male clothing was more sexualised to enhance masculine features but the puritans and victorians put an end to that kind of thing...

lexikimble In reply to Nagillim [2017-12-22 17:11:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh definitely, I was thinking something akin to a mix of Link's Gerudo outfit from Breath of the Wild and the over all color scheme and aesthetic of Leia's Hutt Slayer bikini.

I'm probably going to at minimum, sketch my idea up, after Christmas is over.
