And others follow them, resulting in Minda being a hub of the new Imperial Remnant akin to Bastion in Legends. Then they decide to "HELP" by going out a stealing resources and facilities to prevent their capture by the New Republic, Las has his head in his hands when he finds out they outright stole a shipyard facilities capable of making or repairing Star Dreadnought or smaller vessels.

Omake: Three Square Meals to a Counter Revolution

POV: In a blood splattered Imperial Communications Room, 4 ABY

Brrriii!

"Chobb's knob! There's nothing in here!"

This is an Emergency Holonet Communication to all Imperial Holdings!

"You said there'd be food, Movlek! The only reason we joined this lightfight is because you said the Imps were hoarding the food to replace us with mechanicals!"

Earlier this year the Emperor and several high ranking Imperials were killed by the Rebel Alliance in the Endor system earlier this year. I repeat, the Emperor is dead!

"And what do end up with from this "lum run"? A sand mine full of dead Imps and some flimsi saying food shipments and resupply haven't arrived for two months!"

Disruptions to regular Imperial shipments, bureaucracy, and communication are expected continue for the foreseeable future.

"Your reb friend fed us a flam, koochoo! Three days since you sent out that encrypted commo and nothing. We were always chopped convor liver for the Alliance!"

Communication with Dubrillion is currently unavailable due to ongoing civil unrest. As a result recovery efforts have relocated to the Mindan Recovery Committee.

"No we are not eating the Imps! It has been less than a force-forsaken week since the riots and things have gone poodoo. Don't you go calling me a tailhead! May spice salt your wounds!"

Please contact the given holonet frequencies for the relevant recovery requests such as: food assistance, resource shortages, peacekeeper dispatches…

"Eat it with that "I have spoken" nonsense you neurowashed old bat! Rebels ain't coming and the number-squinter says anymore futzing around will get us all kriffed! We don't have a farthier in this race! At least the Seccers fed us!"

…dearth of administrators, cargo ship appeals, military fleet reallocations, or military garrison requests.

"Gutkurr got your tongue, Movlek? Wouldn't have had to gut you like a Ghest if you weren't such a Blurrg in the mud. Three weeks and you were damaged goods over being a doggy for the rebs."

Remember, our duty as Imperials is to protect the lives of the Imperial citizens, and ensure the order of their daily lives continue.

"Right, scale-brain! Get a blaster and start blasting around, but don't hit anything important. Pirates raided us and the Imps died defending this piece of druk mining complex. That's the story, and if we are all flying the same vector they might just believe it."

The Empire is more than the Emperor. It is a duty, and a responsibility. Let us prove to the galaxy that we are worthy of being called an Imperial.

"Alright let's get that comm call up and running. Hope these Mindan folk keep to their promises, and let sleeping rancors lie."

Brrriii! This is an Emergency Holonet…

Novelization of Episode 4 says it took 5 days from Luke leaving Tatooine to the First Death Star being blown up.

Expanding things a little bit more, there's the old Star Wars: Journal series that has Luke's POV for the movie in, I believe, the first book of it that puts his viewing of the battle in orbit to Wedge dragging him to the post medal ceremony party as almost exactly 1 weeks time.

My understanding is that the Dark Side of the force corrupts and that this corruption does not affect the pure blooded sith as much due to their species being fully adapted to it from evolving on a dark force nexus.

This may be incorrect?

Once the Sith realises that her environment and the people in it do not want to harm them alot of the sithy traits may take a backseat.

A lot of Sith that aren't running on paranoia mode tend to end up more normal individuals.

Hell, the Lost Tribe didn't self destruct and were, apparently, still around in the Legacy era during Legends and not a part of Krayt's band of crazies...

And pureblooded and others can be corrupted, the main thing is that their initial culture, even when the exiled Jedi arrived at the planet, stabilized things until the scouts found the place and the paranoia set in. They'd essentially just settled in and mixed with the locals when the Republic that they were kicked out of was showing up to repeat it due to the Republic being in, essentially, a manifest destiny period where if you didn't just join, they'd make you do it at blasterpoint.

The society they had was an odd mix of medieval europe and the stereotypical samurai type thing that became even more a big thing with the alchemic force swords that the combo of Sith and exile tech/alechemy perfected.

They saw striking first as the only potential way to have an outcome that didn't end up with disaster...especially since the wife of one of the higher Sith Lords was apparently a gifted seer and saw doom either way.

The Republic from that era was a mess anyway since you're in the same era where things like Pius Dei and similar shitshows were ongoing.

Well, that was fast. Guess Ol Pallpy decided to cut corners when building his battlestation.

"Nice thing you built, this Death Star, I just have a single question?"

"Yes your majesty?"

"Why there isn't a single railing in the entire station!"

"We could add those things for a small cost of 26 billion credits your excellence!"

"... I'll be careful around these Pits of Doom..."

I really enjoyed that Tales of SW comic ^^

Plapatine's reaction? Oh boy, better drain the Imperial economy dry to build a second one of these

Click to shrink...

Thrawn says clearly in his first trilogy that it was an attempt for him to rule the entire galaxy from the station, more of a vanity project ( and dread ) than a real useful thing... sith self destructive tendencies at its best.

Hey look! The plot is happening!

Our plucky SI: "Couldn't the plot happen later? Or at least a bit slower? Please?"
