The Gods of Mandalore
Introduction
"Slaughter of all of them." The Emperor, the mighty hand of the Galactic Empire, waved off as Darth Vader knelt next to him, "They will pay for their insolence."
"It shall be done, Master." Darth Vader murmured as the solemn Red Guards looked at his body.
"This will let the entire Universe know if anyone dares dishonor me... They too will culled." The Emperor held his two hands together as he looked out into deep space from his quarters.

Several Imperial officials stood silent as Lord Vader stood in their midst, looking out the panaromic window towards a cosmic battle scene.
"The Emperor has brought us here today to show us his power and authority." Darth Vader spoke, his mechanisms humming during the talk, "Today you will see what happens not only here, but across the Galaxy, when someone dares defy the Empire."
The dark figure turned and clenched his fist at the planet ahead of them.
"Imperial Command.
Base
Delta
Zero."
The Imperial officials at first opened their eyes in shock, but were more than willing to comply when Lord Vader turned to face them.
"Admiral Tanesh, call the fleet." Darth Vader spoke at the most prominent official in the group, a black man of medium stature and a somewhat chunky build.
The man hesitate at first, but gasped when Lord Vader raised his right hand.
"With every second that passes, the Emperor's patience wanes thinner... Pray you do not fall to his anger at your incompetence." Darth Vader warned as he saw the admiral walk to the main control console and lift up a communicator.
"Star Destroyers Retribution, Arbiter, Judgment, and Lissa'ak, tthis is your Admiral Tanesh Saakar speaking. The Emperor himself has initiated Command Base Delta Zero. I repeat, Base. Delta. Zero. Move into low orbit immediately and await for further instruction."
Darth Vader stood silently as the five Star Destroyers hovered close to the brown colored planet ahead of them, the ship he was on locking into low orbit after a few tense minutes.
The deckhands on board Admiral Tanesh's ship all boarded battle stations as they saw the other ships lock into orbit.
"Direct command from the Emperor." Admiral Tanesh spoke into the console, "Supported by order of I, Admiral Tanesh Saakar, and the order of Lord Vader.
Execution of command Base Delta Zero on all possessions of Mandalore."
The Admiral turned to Lord Vader, who stared coldly at the planet.
In a sense of pride, The Admiral chuckled, feeling the same coldness to the situation as the Dark Lord, "We're going to turn everything they own into molten slag."
Vader still looked at the planet without a sound, save for the respirator.
"Fleet." Admiral Tanesh grabbed the communicator, "Show these insolent people the might of the Empire." he said and then saw various unknown blips on his radar.
"The Emperor said." Vader finally spoke as he observed the dots coming out of the much larger dot in the center, "Slaughter all of them."
The Admiral nodded, "Arbiter, release 50 wings of Interceptors to cut off any escapees." he gave the quick order.
"Understood." the response returned to him.
"Now, Execute Base Delta Zero." Admiral Tanesh spoke as he looked at the clock, "In T-Minus 20 Seconds."
The deckhands looked as the clock counted down.
"Retribution is ready, Admiral." a voice on the console informed.
"Arbiter is operational."
"Judgement is online and ready."
"The Lissa'ak is standing by."
"T-Minus 10 Seconds." Admiral Tanesh spoke, "9... 8... 7..."
The guns of his ship started to hum in life as the countdown continued.
"6
5
4
3
2...
1- Execute Order Base Delta Zero!" Admiral Tanesh ordered, and all five Star Destroyers opened fire on the planet below them.
"See to it that no one escapes alive." Lord Vader turned away and walked off.
