Thank you for reading this collection of stories, it was honestly the most fun I've had writing in a long time. To that one guy who favorited, thanks mate lmao. To the rest of you who read, I still hope you liked what you saw. As a deeply engrossed Star Wars fan, I took time to perfect each story and make them flow as easily as possible.
Each character here is a canon figure in the Star Wars Universe, one way or another. If you were interested in them, I suggest just searching them up on Wookiepedia, each has some sort of backstory in development. I'll also give a brief explanation of the overarching theme I had going on through these one shots (they're all still completely readable Ion their own as one-shots, so if you're only here for your favorite character don't feel pressured to read them all to understand). If you already know or don't care, than all I have to say is again, thanks for taking the time to read this chronology of the Empire, and hope to see you reading another Star Wars Fanfic soon!
One disappointing thing about the new Canon so far is the apparent weakness of the Empire in dealing with pretty much everything. I can sort of see they want to show just how much more improved the First Order is for their new sequel, but it's still disappointing to see this unexplainable incompetence. So, I tried to explain it myself. Like Gallius Rax realizes in the end, almost every officer explored has some sort of darker motive they're working towards. The helplessness Yularen, Veers and Rannd felt- the only two who had good intentions despite being villains- I felt would be a good comparison compared to the overwhelming signs of greed, corruption, and ambition in every other Imperial, which as we all know, too much of can be the downfall of any great nation. In short, the Empire was only ever as good as its commanders, and as I hopefully displayed here, that was very little good in there at all.
