Good chapter and good story.

Talon is such a great character and not just Talon. Lani, Jan,... all of the characters were well written. The plot was engaging and I absolutely love the tactics that were used. I also really like the time period in which the story takes place. The reign of Ysanne Isard was pretty interesting.

I really hope that you make a sequel featuring the Bacta war. With Talon on her side the war may play out quite differently. Not to mention Talon's action may have had wider consequences already. The director mentioned that Talon's actions have handicapped the New Republic operations in one area under her control, which at the very least means her front is slightly more secure than it was in the original timeline and even forced them to weaken the assault force meant to strike against Zsjin.

Who knows maybe that will enable Zsjin to inflict some addtional casualties to the New Republic before being killed. Not to mention Talon saved almost the entire taskforce participating in Operation Stillwater. That means Isard has more assets at her disposal as well, though not all of those might be stationed at Thyferra.

I know the New Republic researched all of Isard's commanders and I am curious to hear what they have on Talon. Ironically they may not even think him as the biggest threat as the way he defeated their cruisers might just have them believe their taskforce commander messed up and flew into the asteroids, rather than Talon tricking him. With Talon present Sair won't have the best drilled and trained crew anymore or at least Talon has similar quality troops.

So yeah, I hope you make a sequel and many thanks for the wonderful story.

I read through this story of yours in one sole day and it has been some of the most enjoyable reading in this subset of fanfiction and writing as a whole. I love the characters you have developed and the twists and turns that often made me feel like Talon, seeing pieces of the puzzle but unable to decipher their meaning! I’m really excited to read more of your work whether it be Star Wars related or not. Yet, I can’t deny that I do hope the sequel of this story comes quick.

Just when I was thinking about Talon here he is!

The interactions with Isard and Talon was awesome! The way they acted together as they were planning for Thyferra and the future of the Empire was superb!

Dang I guess that's the end of Talon of the Empire. I'm sad its over but I'm very happy that this isn't where Talons story will end and that there will be sequels to Talon of the Empire! Just because of that I'am hyped!

I need him and Lani to kiss. It has to happen! You can’t leave us like this!

A great ending for a great fanfiction, I do hope to see more stories with Talon, a very well developed character in my opinion.

Best of luck to you!

Big oof, this story honestly deserves so much more attention from follows and favs then its got. Bravo.

Good

An engaging read as ever. Captivated from the moment it began and really felt the intensity and desperation of combat. Keep up the amazing work!

Holy crap man this is amazing! When I read this I feel like i'm reading an actual Star Wars book from back when Legends was Canon! This always puts me in a good mood when I read it so keep up this awesome work!
Clever plan on Talons part dropping the Enemy straight into the asteroid very clever. It was epic to see what Happened with Jan and Mannis with them both getting POV's along with Talon. I have Zero complaints with this chapter, amazing work!

Good chapter.

Also Talon should get a promotion and a couple of medals for his actions. I mean to be fair he already earned them for his earlier deeds, but this seals the deal. I mean Talon managed to destroy a New Republic taskforce that the squadron at full strenght wouldn't have been able to handle and he pulled it off with a heavily damaged one.

His plans were clever and the results were awesome (for the Imperials). If Talon makes it back I am going to bet the imperial propagada machine is going to use these actions.

The New Republic is probably also freaking out right now. After all these sorts of defeats usually have two causes. Either the underdog managed to pull off a miracle or...the underdog isn't actually an underdog. It wouldn't be the first time in military history that a military commander made his enemy believe that they're dealing with a bigger force than they actually are.

Not to mention they lost a lot of military vessels to this one Imperial squadron. Surely that will have some sort of strategic or tactical implication.

Anyway, thank you for the chapter.

Been awhile, but a stellar chapter as always, hope to see the next one soon. Stay safe.

Seriously awesome update! I spent two days looking for a story just like this one and just as I give up, you updated! I really enjoyed the clever trap Talon set for the Republic. I also liked the tense battle even after most of the fleet was smashed, the ferocity of the Republic sailors and pilots struck me was realistic and I wonder if the Imperial respect will ever develop into something. Majorly happy you continue writing, I loving everything and I hope you continue.

Great chapter!

I really like this the way talon deals with the traitors, how he try’s to save the captain’s legacy and his inner turmoil! This is a very good read!

Fantastic chapter, this has to be one of my favorite fanfictions on this entire site, it reads like a classic, a very clear and enjoyable plot, along with a good setting, much much better than any actual star wars film. I am riveted in my seat for more of this!
