A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Star Wars:
Rise of the New Sith Brotherhood
Episode I
FALLEN EMPIRE
Emperor Palpatine is dead...again. For a year the galaxy has suffered under the evil of the Dark Empire led by the reborn Emperor, risen from the depths of Chaos, and his Dark Side Elites. Now, thanks to the bravery of the Heroes of Yavin, Palpatine has been defeated once and for all on the planet Onderon, saving the galaxy forever from his tyranny.
Meanwhile, Byss, the defacto capital of the Dark Empire, is following its master into destruction. The death throes of the Emperor's final superweapon, the Galaxy Gun, are ripping apart the dark world. In orbit over the dying Byss is Andor Vaklas, last survivor of the Dark Side Elite.
Little does Vaklas realize he will soon initiate a chain of events that will change the course of galactic history forever...
This story is the first of several parts in a fictionalization of past events on various sites this roleplaying community went through previous to this one and serves as a prequel to our original Legends site timeline.

In the spoiler box below is a character guide, which lists all the major characters that have appeared in this story thus far in order of introduction. Along with this are listed where in the story they first appear, subsequent appearances, and a brief description of the character. The definition I'll be using for a major character is that they appear in more than one chapter/interlude. If you haven't already read every chapter and interlude then it's best to reference this list sparingly, as an observant reader can figure out a few minor spoilers from a comprehensive reading of this list.
