The opening post says that Anakin killed Obiwan at Mustafar in this timeline so I would guess he wasn't maimed at all.

OK, I did miss that, sorry. I didn't click that it would mean he wasn't messed the heck up.

So running with this idea, Ive sent my crew of imperial special agents on a small scouting mission, that allowed them to take down a rebel cell. Deciding that they can use the near destruction of this cell, they are going undercover as survivors of the raid, and going to try to infiltrate a much larger Rebel flotilla group called Rouge Squadron. They have been assigned to this mission personally by Princess Leia, who secured intel that her missing mother is there in the flotilla.

The group consist of a human Justicar; the name of the Force Oder that Emperor Skywalker has created to replace the missing Jedi order. They act much like the inquisitors of the legacy canon, but also serve as diplomats and negotiators of the Empire as well.

A bothan infiltrator spy, and a human commando gadgeter.

Their prime objective is to locate Lade Padme, and secure her for release. Also to secure as much information as possibly, before calling in renforecments to destroy or capture the flotilla.

Since Palpatine was a tad better at manipulating...well everyone and everything for his needs Vader makes a whole lot more enemies, including the former allies of Palpatine. Forcing him to build more and more warships and weapons, producing endless war and with that prisoners of war who are needed as slave workers. Vader lives with this, only because they brought this on themselves, and everything will be different when the war is won.

Too much "the force makes you a space god".

More like, the two most powerful (dark) force users in the universe (apart from yoda) stricken with immesurable grief next to millions crying out in pain giving a dying planet the rest...but you have a valid point nonetheless.

And, "The Ability To Destroy a Planet is insignificant next to the Power of the Force" is pretty much canon

Also, imagine getting this described to you as a player as it happens live in front of your eyes...especially if there is a gungan player

There is a huge gap between what the Force can do, and what someone strong in the Force can do with it. Even the EU at its most Force power crazy required Sith Artifacts attuned to the Force to get the kind of destructive power you are talking about, and those artifacts were inevitably destroyed along with the knowledge of how to make them.

I think an interesting thing on the table here is "what happens when Vader dies?" How do Luke and Leia respond to that? Is there a schism between them? Do they ignite their own civil war?

Vader isn't claiming that the Force can easily crush world worlds...

And if a GM did this, I'd retire my character and leave the game until someone else was running.

If he could make Padme understand the suffering she has brought to the galaxy. So to finally end the War the Deathstar gets built and travels to his Target.

Vader has no more reasons to blow up Alderaan.

The Deathstar comes into orbit on Naboo and Vader give Padme an Ultimatum.

He does this, to show Padme that her actions made him do it. That her Rebellion is the only thing that produces suffering in the universe. That she is a greedy politician who cannot accept that his rule will bring prosperity, peace and freedom for all.

But the Rebellion manages to destroy the deathstar in a last moment effort, possibly with the help from your characters.

Killing Luke, who was in command of the Battlestation.

But Vader will not be denied. He orders the entire fleet to fire on the planet, melting the seas, turning citys into glass. Together with his Daughter Leia, summoning their rage on the million people who died aboard the deathstar, their lost familymember and siphoning the fear of the dying population on Naboo they destroy the planet with the force. Ripping it apart or bringing down the two moons on the planet.

And now you have an empire that is pretty much Bonafide Evil.

not sure how i feel on the deathstar part, but the stuff on attacking naboo is pure gold

thoughi guess a whole bunch of credits where already sank into the death star. gonna be completed

Im playing with similar idea, how do luke and leia behave when their mother is killed/ open reveals her alliance with the renewed CIS

The current state of the galaxy is that the Empire is at war with the Hutt Cartel, as Emperor Skywalker has outlawed slavery (indentured servitude is still permitted in the CSA), and is determined to bring it to heel.

At the climax of the first adventure, the Death Star was revealed to the galaxy, coming out of hyperspace with an Imperial Fleet at Nal Hutta. The Hutt homeworld was the Death Star's first victim, and it took Nar Shaddaa with it in its death throes.

He's now parked it just off Naboo, and it's just... sitting there. He's basically forcing Padme to return to him by holding her homeworld hostage. Fortunately, the PCs recovered the Death Star schematics and are going to be part of the counter-attack.

Given that Nar Shaddaa is a moon of Hutta... that was always going to be the ending if Hutta was hit by a Death Star... the sudden lack of the thing it was orbiting could never end well.

I was planning on creating a post on how GE under a Vader administration would look like, and I think I just found my answer.

Going to give this thread a second read threw and post some questions later, thanks for sharing your ideas.

Yes, he was. Vader surpassed him, as he was largely uninjured. It took a decade of training and study, but eventually the two clashed, and Anakin won, but just barely.

What year did this happen in your timeline and where did the final encounter take place?

What are the goals and motivations of Lord Vader now that he is in absolute control, what does he want to accomplish as ruler of the GE?

What is his stance on corruption within the Empire?

Do you see him making any changes in the way the bureaucracy or military is run, organized, fights (tactics/strategies) or equipped (weapons, armor, vehicles, starships)?

Is Lord Vader a "true believer" in the ways of the Sith, or more of a "means to an end" kind of approach?

Just some of the questions that came to mind while reading your OP.
