I'm really hoping we get to see Spike and Twilight meat up with their old friends and planetary leaders?.....I'm wanting to see if the mane 5 and the princesses are really okay with enslaving and or killing any race they find inferior?....
Since Starkiller was talked about does that mean the cloning thing from the second game might show up or was it just a wink and a nod to Vader's apprentices. Also if your just going with things from the first don't forget to make a small nod about the Rebels technically being started by Starkiller as well or at least the grouping them into the Rebels
Good chapter, I do enjoy the little reference to Vader's apprentice and the Dark Trooper project. I honestly wonder if Thrawn will integrate Twilight and Spike into his fleet beyond an advisor position. Sadly I got no idea for the school you should transfer too. And that's some serious shit you've went through with your family. But everything comes around, they'll get theirs and then some. Best of luck to you and your sister if your stories are any indication of your writing, then you should be great at your goal. Also Don't be sorry for the rant, it's healthy to air all the shit that piles up in our heads once and while.
.... I think I see where Thrawn is going with this. Might I propose someone else who he will need to keep an eye on: Grand Moff Ardus Kaine, successor to Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin in command of Oversector Outer, which coincidentally isn't that drastically far from Nirauan. Even if he is loyal to the Emperor, certainly being in good enough graces to be granted direct command over his flagship, the Executor-class Dreadnought Reaper, he is even more loyal to the New Order. Add in the fact that he is feeling disillusioned with Palpatine due to his placement in the Outer Rim instead of near his once-hero, Palpatine, in the core, this might help breed the perfect supporter - or a terrible opponent if left unchecked. He may become someone who could help in Thrawn's mission of wiping the Rebels, if that is indeed the case, but he is certainly someone to look out for if he isn't brought on board with the plan. However, due to the territories that Oversector Outer consist of, economically it could be a very strategic location to have available for Thrawn's plan. Even if the economic aspect isn't directly needed, the forces provided by the Scourge Squadron, and the Outer Rim Imperial Fleet as a whole would be very useful in direct battles.
(I do a little bit too much research into Star Wars and various what-ifs in my free time, this story is playing out roughly similar to one of the scenarios I made a few months back, just without the Celestial Alliance. Kaine and the forces under his command are too great to be left unchecked in a scenario like this, due to various factors like the size of the fleets under his command, the fact that many Rebel strongholds are in the Outer Rim, and the proximity of Nirauan to his forces if something goes awry. I'm also not saying this just because I'm a Pentastar Alignment fanboy, though that is what led to me learning about Kaine.)
8447505 I did reference Kaine. Teshik mentioned Grand Admiral Octavian Grant is in talks with him. It's no coincidence. Grant and Kaine have some kind of friendship considering Kaine shielded Grant from persecution from the New Republic until his death.
Scourge Squadron is suppose to be an elite force like Death Squadron. Kaine was one of the first characters I thought of when making this fic not only because of other fanfictions I've read, but because Scourge Squadron and the Reaper eventually became the personal fleet of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon who was one of my favorite characters.
I've mentioned 3 Grand Moffs actually. You should already know Zsinj and Kaine.
Still waiting to see who if anyone catches on to who Teshik and Thrawn were referring to in the end.
8447471 Thank you for understanding. It hurts bearing these problems and not being able to talk about it. I refuse to talk about it to my parents and my sister cause it will only cause arguments to unfold. My parents do tend to argue a lot and since I'm the only one between my sister and I willing to listen to everyone's problems, they lay everything on me expecting to take a side. Of course, I don't take anyone's side and just provide solutions to end arguments. It's been like that for years. I do enjoy helping people out with their problems and finding solutions, but when my parents keep laying out the same problems over and over again, ignoring my solutions, I can only take so much shit. For a while, I've only been telling the both of them to talk to a therapist and I've yet to see them do it. I know it's tough for my parents. My dad works overseas as an architect and my mom has to take three jobs as a music teacher to pay the bills and the college tuitions, but holy shit arguing isn't gonna help. My sister told me the Trump administration lowered the money given for Financial Aid. Don't know if it's true, but if that's the case, then I'm gonna have to find a job and work more hours than I originally intended, splitting my time between school and work with almost no time to rest.
I only pray my dad is able to get projects going and get the money we were suppose to get originally but the Justice System in Indonesia is ass. Money talks. Bribe the judges and they will take your side. This is the kind of Justice System that gives terrorists only 5-10 years in prison and they don't care how many times the military complains about how light the punishments are.
It's only recently my parents noticed I've been keeping myself locked in my room and away from everyone. I love to be in my own little world where my imagination runs freely with nothing to worry about. Usually, I either write fics, do nothing and play my own movies in my mind for ideas, or listen to music and forming stories out of those musics in my mind. My parents think I'm having suicidal thoughts (which I have before), but I'm just getting impatient. I've lived my entire life plagued by the problems my family faced because of our relatives' greed and stupidity and we're suffering for it. I have a grandma who wants my mom, her youngest daughter to die. Literally, she said that to her face.
I have uncles and aunts who spend their money unwisely, and want my parents to divorce because taking our money isn't enough. They fucking hate my parents because not only because they're the only ones who went to or graduated from prestigious colleges, but because they were able to make friends with people who can smash a Ferari with a Bugatti together and it wouldn't make a dent on their net worth.
I know it's a family problem, but sometimes I wish my dad can get his friends involved and end this quickly. Like seriously, you've got a friend who belongs to the richest family in Indonesia, a friend who owns a hotel chain and owns 2 of the best hotels in Bali, a friend who works for Mitsubishi in Indonesia, a friend who is a staff member of Vice President Jusuf Kalla, and a friend who used to own the Philadelphia 76ers, owner of DC United, and the chairman of Inter Milan. Motherfucker (sry for the language dad), you've got powerful friends and you won't let them help you.
8447551 Ah, I forgot about the reference to Kaine. I had read the chapter, worked 9 hours, then posted the comment when I got back home.
As to who Thrawn is referring to there, it could be one of two people, depending on which part of the end you meant. If you meant getting through to Sander Delvardus, then it was Seledra-Zin, Delvardus' mistress who he accidentally knocked into a coma with a dynamic hammer. If it's the former student of Thrawn, then obviously it's Tyber Zann and the Zann Consortium. I've spent far too many hours playing Forces of Corruption not to have learnt that.
A thought that would be interesting is if Thrawn could somehow manage to capture several Agressor-class Destroyers from Tyber, making the vessels come full circle. They were designed by the Empire, lost in a data pod among the ruins of the First Death Star, captured by Zann, mass-produced in the underworld, then theoretically captured and re-purposed by the Empire again. Of course, if Thrawn happens to capture a lot of Zann's vessels, i.e. Keldabe-class Battleships, Crusader-class Corvettes, and Vengeance-class Frigates, that's just fine as well.
You can never expect what the future might hold but that's life. We learn everyday and we improve everyday. And don't worry love is patience but rewarding.
guessing by the difference in the two ciphers, this is a new one that follows the same rules. i see that there are several reappearing 'words' and many more of them to solve. well, let's get to work. i expect that this code might take a day or two to crack, based on my last one. as per usual, i ran it through the gibberish translator and found nothing of use. before I start translating, i'd like to state some hypothesis(es) about these ciphered messages. likely these are made using special encoding sites that offer free services in encoding and decoding, but for canon's sake they're made using old technology, because i imagine even a child could make one of these at home without any help. substitution ciphers are extremely hard for beginners, like myself, to solve because we're used to everything having a clear meaning in the english language. I can't really find any weak spots in the decryption at first glance, and several decoding programs online have come up with nonsense. dare i say, this one is exponentially harder to solve, but i am seeing quite a lot of rare characters, such as 'v's 'x's and 'z's, as well as some 'q's 'k's and 'w's. from this assumption, z is probably a common character like 'a' or 'i' or even 'e'. 'O' appears once alone, so I have identified my 'a' or 'i' character. i may have slightly cheated and used a site called dcode.fr to assist me in decoding this one. alright, here's the translation below: "We think (of) ourselves as powerful, yet we are mere children compared to the beast with one eye. I have nothing but faith on Sixer that he will deal with the beast. For now, all we can do is to restore the Empire to what it was meant to be. We will take back the galaxy. No longer will we be manipulated. Rise my brothers and sisters, the galaxy shall be ours once again! Long Live the Galactic Empire!"
Ok first, WYF, your father's cousin tried to curse your family using Indonesian black magic!? WTF!? If you have the feeling your family is cursed, ask the Balinese, they are good in the spiritual realm, or you could always ask the Indonesian Christians A.K.A the Reformists (GRII, MRII, STRII), I go to the their chruch and school and most of the experienced pastors know how to shop a spirit. + How fucking rich is your family to have a million to be stolen!? Damn your relatives are bastards. Just have faith in the Lord my friend, you'll make it through. Oh and, if you dads cousin in Indonesia evades the police, blame the corruption here, and if he ends up dead near the police station, umm, the police shot him, under the reason of him 'resisting'
9131245 1. My dad found an expert that will get rid of the black magic.
2. My dad also hired a well known lawyer to help him.
3. His cousin sacrificed his driver for the black magic to have effect. He used the money to buy a large house, expensive cars, and to send his daughter to NYU.
4. My uncle tried a scorched earth tactic by taking all of the money from the family company but backed off.
5. My other uncle lives in the US and he would be arrested immediately the moment he lands in Indonesia.
6. We’re in debt after paying for my sister’s college tuition but my dad was able to secure a project to design a house and an art museum for one of his friends.
7. A lot of my dad’s friends are multi-millionaires with one being a billionaire but refuses to get his friends involved.
8. My mom was suppose to inherit thousands of dollars after my grandfather dies but my grandmother and the rest of the siblings took all of the money because not only is she my grandfather’s favorite child, but also the only successful and humble one.
9. We think my dad’s cousin also used black magic on myself and my sister considering the many problems we’ve had over the years so the expert my dad hired plans to get rid of it and help us mentally. Both of us haven’t been mentally stable for years.
10. Also, we know the justice system is corrupt, but with this lawyer who has special connections, you can’t bribe your way out.
11. My dad knows personally Ahok, Luhut Panjaitan, we’re related to a few Marine Generals, and one of Jusuf Kalla’s staff members. Not to mention, Eric Tohir, the CEO of Kompas who also owns Hotel Anfaya, both Hotel Samayas, and the Hotel Santika chain, a member of the richest family in Indonesia, an associate of one of the members of the Irvine Family, and the children of the owner of Hoka Hoka Bento. My dad wasn’t kidding that he knew many of these people because they were his classmates or his friends introduced him to others. I didn’t believe him either until I met them myself. A lot of them really love Korean BBQ.
The best part about Vader's Sith name is that 'Darth' is a title among the Sith not his actual name, and they got it wrong in the movies while they still have yet to correct it.

Well either way good story and look toward to more
Cutting off Darth Vader mid-sentence, after Vader already choked him in front of his peers. Pitta's a fucking idiot.

Pitta's the most extreme xenophobic among the Grand Admirals. Even other xenophobes are disgusted of his behavior.
