Damn dude you got a lot of haters! Don't worry most have... No stories no blogs no bio. Smells like trolls to me. So keep on keeping on! Got this story in my to read list. Be strong my dude!
8410376 I don't see any haters. Only constructive criticism which I appreciate. My mind's a jumbled mess of ideas and sometimes, that mess spills out into my stories. I want these criticisms to constantly remind myself to get my mind straight.
Correction, I do have one hater. Met him on the Star Wars groups and he only doesn't like me because I prefer the Empire over the Rebellions.
"We're not here to harm you, but if you try anything, we will put you down. Listen to my directions, and there won't be a problem. Now turn around, and walk towards the shuttle over there. Keep your hands behind your heads."
They did exactly as instructed in fear of what they will do if they disobey.
Are they anthro? Why does she have hands? If shes 4 legged what did she do? Walk on her hind legs? I also noticed alot of other minor mistakes. Do you have an editor? If you dont I wouldnt mind lending a hand.
They finally came to an exit guarded by a squad of the white armored aliens. What surprised them two were the different alien species that were with them as well. There were four red skinned aliens with two large horns sticking out of their scalps with swords attached to their backs and carrying the same weapons as the white armored aliens, two large, ape-like aliens carrying a weapon similar to a crossbow, and three aliens that looked similar to the alien guiding them but with blue or green skin and two tentacles sticking out of their heads.
Ooh! OOH! I can name those alien species! The first four are Devaronians, the the next two are Wookies, and the last three are Togruta(I think)!
The group stepped aside to let them through the doors. While passing by them, she noticed the ape-like aliens sizing up Spike as he past by.
I now want to see Spike wrestle a Wookie, Chewbacca if possible(I know it isn't, but a guy can dream!)
Just got to the part where you say their species, and of course they were Twileks!
As she got closer, she noticed it had seen some better days with lots of tears and stains. On the cover was a golden hand print with a number three on it.
Wait, three? Did this book belong to someone in the Alliance?
She put her hand on the hand print and realized the hand print had six fingers.
Six fingers. What is this book?
Excuse me?! Where did Thrawn get THAT?!
No that's just a reference, this is not a real Gravity Falls crossover.
You Fricking TEASE! I love when Authors do this! No sarcasm, either, I really like those troll references that get your hopes up! But seriously, WHICH OF DIPPER'S DESCENDANTS GAVE THRAWN THAT JOURNAL?!
8410979 To that I say: Grappling hook! Also, Neil Degrasse Tyson voicing a pig is one of my top 3 favorite parts of the show. The mere fact they GOT HIM TO VOICE A PIG is amazing.
8410983 I'm just hoping for possible sequels, crossovers with other shows (Rick and Morty), but I'm hoping Alex Hirsch wasn't lying when he said he's continuing Gravity Falls through Graphic Novels.
While I'm enjoying this story so far, I do have a bit of a nitpick:
Unfortunately for Dawn, the Lieutenant was part of a powerful family within the Imperial Courts and they convinced Harrsk to send her to a backwater planet. However, Thrawn, who watched the execution and the reports of the incident, saved her and had her transferred to his command. The family was seething with rage and even tried to convince both the Emperor and Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus to have her sent to the spice mines at Kessel. Of course, the Emperor saw no need to punish her and refused.
I don't care how powerful that guy's family was, there's absolutely no way this incident reached Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor has to deal with the political machinations of an entire galaxy, a single incident simply isn't worth his time. Vader himself stated that "no single act will gain the Emperor's notice."
On that note, I find it highly doubtful that this incident involved one much less two Grand Admirals directly. Once again, it's simply not important enough for them to take notice.
Other than that I'm having trouble believing that Equestria, a very peaceful country with a very peaceful culture as far as we've been shown, has devolved into this militaristic, xenophobic empire, but I assume you're going to explain that in the next chapter.
8411562 As the Emperor, Palpatine gets a lot of audiences. Kind of like Princess Celestia but a chosen few. If you have power, you can have an audience with Palpatine. In fact, if you're part of the Imperial Court, then of course you'll be permitted to have an audience.
tho know i have to wonder is this empire is all dark side or is this a different au were the empire are good guys... somewhat good guys at least. ok the less evil guys you can stand to root for
As the Emperor, Palpatine gets a lot of audiences. Kind of like Princess Celestia but a chosen few. If you have power, you can have an audience with Palpatine. In fact, if you're part of the Imperial Court, then of course you'll be permitted to have an audience.
Even assuming that's true as the Emperor doesn't really strike me as the kind of guy who cares about anything that doesn't directly benefit him, that still begs the question of why two Grand Admirals would get involved. Not to mention one of them, Thrawn, had literally no reason to do anything more than watch. I hope this stormtrooper is an recurring character because you've made her way too important if she isn't.
Also, notice the AU tag.
An AU tag isn't a green light to do whatever you want. While it allows you great freedom in that department, it still has to make sense. For example, I don't necessarily expect a full-blown history of the Equestrian Alliance, but I do expect you'll touch upon why Twilight was the "Princess of Friendship" in an empire that's perfectly happy declaring a subjugation war on random Xenos.
8413185 If you know their histories, Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus loves to hang with members of the Imperial Court which why he's politically the most powerful of the Grand Admirals. Every Grand Admiral, whenever they're going to have a meeting with the Emperor, are always going to be have conversations with members of the Imperial Courts. Having a Grand Admiral as an ally significantly boosts your power in the Empire. Grand Admiral Tigellinus has many friends in the Imperial Courts. Some of the Grand Admirals have their own factions in the Imperial Court. Tigellinus has the most powerful, Grand Admiral Josef Grunger has his own which allowed him to take over the majority of Grand Admiral Militin Takel's fleet in Legends, and even Grand Admiral Octavian Grant had his own faction which allows him to have an alliance with Grand Moff Ardus Kaine and was sheltered by the Pentastar Alignment.
Everyone in the Imperial Court have a purpose which is why Palpatine prioritizes them whenever they want an audience. They're all high-ranking officers, politicians, businessmen, etc.
Well, I struggle to make sense of Twilight's banishment but I love what you've done with the Empire.
The Naval High Command wanted to show that rape will not be tolerated.
Damn right! I mean, yeah, we hunt down political dissidents, enslave defeated populations and occasionally blow up a planet or two... But rape?! Come on, man, we have standards!
He got too close to Tigellinus and made him spill his favorite drink on his uniform. Enraged, Tigellinus beat the man in front of everybody.
I think Tigellinus and Blueblood would get along quite nicely.
A few weeks later, Thrawn showed up for a meeting with the Emperor when the same man approached him. He began to yell at him and even grabbed the collar of his uniform.
Oh you silly, silly bastard!
Even though Thrawn is probably the least influential Grand Admiral in the Imperial Court, he did send a clear message to all of them, no matter how powerful you may be, do not mess with a Grand Admiral.
Particularly when that Grand Admiral is Mitth-raw-f**king-nuruodo!
Even Thrawn has a girl he visits in Anaxes.
WE WILL NEED DETAILS! COPIOUS DETAILS! Any woman who can turn the eye of Thrawn must be a woman like no other.
"Alright Isard. Whatever makes you happy."
Ouch!
The Human immediately stopped and so did the group.
You don't toss the word 'nice' around in the Galactic Empire.
This Grand Admiral killed an entire species simply because he did not understand their art?
Well, military record aside, Thrawn's one hell of an art critic!
8742840 I left the reasoning behind her banishment vague because I will post a chapter in the future showing what’s going on in the Celestial Alliance and what caused them to behave this way.
As she got closer, she noticed it had seen some better days with lots of tears and stains. On the cover was a golden hand print with a number three on it.
Remember the properties of plastoid (Imperial body armor). It turns blaster shots into stuns, so the hit trooper gets up a few minutes later and keeps fighting or can be revived early by someone else. It is nearly impervious to kinetic attacks, concussive force (like explosions), etc. Not as good as duraplas, though (from SWtOR MMORPG), which is good enough to partially resist a lightsaber strike.
Anyway, the Alliance is very stupid. Attacking without seeking information. If we were at war with a species and encountered a seeming non-hostile group of them, we wouldn't mindlessly attack. If we encountered a member of that species in command of an aesthetically different fleet, we wouldn't have attacked.
"But why not us?"
Another sign stupidity. Twilight and Spike should easily have realized the lack of guards outside their cell was a token of being given the benefit of the doubt.
Many of them would likely end up as slaves.
That is an incredibly misleading statement. The wookies were enslaved for rebellion, and so are more like prisoners of war or felons doing labor to pay off their debt to society. The Twi'leks want to be slaves and actually rebelled when the original Republic tried to free them. This comes from the fact they were created by the Rakatan Infinite Empire to be a servant species. As such, they are beautiful (to humans, at least), submissive, durable, mentally and emotionally and physically able and willing to put up with a large amount of abuse, and may or may not have a masochistic streak. I'm not even making this up. Legends has some...interesting species. Devaronians were not enslaved in the first place, if I remember correctly.
Basically, the Empire only enslaved nations that rebelled and their enslavement did not extend to entire species. Honestly, it's hard to feel pity for what amounts to entire nations who devoted themselves to terrorism against the legitimate government the extreme majority of the galaxy supports. Must support, since the Imperial fleet only has 20,000 star destroyers and their escorts yet the Empire is 301.2 million worlds large. Their military cannot oppress anyone who isn't rebellious as the number of worlds would make it utterly impossible for such a small military. Which, of course, makes the Rebel Alliance the Star Wars version of ISIS.
A Princess you say? Well, welcome aboard my ship your majesty.
Lambda pilots typically wear officer uniforms rather than flight suits, though it should be noted that their uniforms are still black and typically don’t have rank insignias. However, considering most Lambda pilots are washed out TIE pilots they’d still be officers.
Also, I’m surprised Twilight didn’t see humans as Chiss, perhaps a subspecies like Pegasi to her own kind.

Devaronians weren't enslaved, but mistreated perhaps? I'm talking about the Human High Culture which is strong in the Core Worlds.
