Chapter 18: Epilogue

Summary:

Thank you all so much for reading! I had a tremendously good time working on this fic. Each time I finish one, I think well, I'll take a break. But then another fabulous idea will happen. Sooooo in a couple weeks we'll be rolling into another one. In the meantime, I'll be playing with one shots.

Bless you all dear readers!

Chapter Text

So the Capitol planet had fallen to the so called ‘New Republic’.  Given the corrupted riff raff that had been running it, he shouldn’t be too surprised. 

 

His…..predecessor had been wise to keep this project most secure. He would strike soon----while the motley rabble of rebels and traitors thought themselves victorious. 

 

The Skywalkers…..a threat yes, but one he was more than equipped to handle. 

 

First things first, however. He turned away from the holo stream, to the three dimensional image floating in the middle of his vast chambers. Her blue arrow shape held deadly promise, and with the Death Star gone, she was the greatest weapon in the galaxy. 

 

Special. Unique. Exceptional. He had read all the detailed reports and meditated upon her. He would be needed personally from the outset in order to take her.

 

She was set to be retrofitted and repaired in four days time at Kuat. He could be patient a few months more, get his men in place. 

 

He turned and strode back to the viewport, gazing at the vast fleet waiting and ready to serve him. 

 

The New Republic would soon be swept away by the might of the First Order.

Notes:

I am aware there is a story out there called the Trial of Darth Vader. It's very good and deals with Anakin being tried by the New Republic. I think that's a much more tricky angle as he really did commit some terrible things, and the author did very well with that.
So, I admittedly took the easier route of having the corrupt Empire try him, where I hope things are slightly more clear on the justice/injustice front. :)
