Episode I

Ashes of Victory

Thirty-five years have passed since Anakin Skywalker struck down Emperor Palpatine, ending his rise to absolute power and leaving the newly formed Empire fractured and uncertain.

But peace did not come with victory.

In the bloody years that followed, Palpatine’s remaining loyalists fought to reclaim what had been lost. Worlds burned, factions splintered, and in the conflict that ended with the fall of the Crimson Scourge, the Imperial Knights first came fully into their own.

From that chaos, a new order emerged.

The old Republic was never restored. In its place rose an Empire reforged under Anakin Skywalker—harsher than many had hoped, steadier than many feared, and built on the belief that a fractured galaxy could survive only through strength.

For a generation, that belief has endured.

Now the throne passes to Anakin’s daughter, heir to a legacy of victory, order, and control. To many, her rule promises continued stability in a galaxy long scarred by war. To others, it is only a quieter kind of iron grip.

And yet, beneath the calm, old dangers stir.

Ambition has not vanished. Fear has not faded. In the shadows between worlds and behind the machinery of power, something long buried is beginning to move once again.

The galaxy may be united…
but it is not at peace.
