Thrawn ordered an assault force to come and aid them from their base on Jupiter’s moon. But instead of
ships coming out ion beams lanced from the ion cannon of the hidden base, taking the emperor by surprise and
taking down most of his ships before he turned the rear deflector shields on, leaving him with four fireklins
among which two were crippled.
Knowing this, even the stubborn tyrant of an emperor had to admit defeat. So he left one of the crippled
fireklins behind to die and turned tail and fled, blasting anything and anyone blocking his path to smithereens
until he was intercepted by the Chimera, the Malevolence and the Executor whom just towed the three in easily,
taking one each.
Suddenly his second in command hissed from behind, “you’ve doomed us all…” The Emperor barely heard
these last words as his vision flickered and everything went dark.
The Emperor was later found dead in his seat with a bullet in his back.
