The Clone Wars, a devastating galactic conflict that shaped the galaxy and it's inhabitants. However, what if circumstances changed the course of destiny itself? What if the Clone Wars ended in unification instead of division?
Humans, they are, a unique species compared to others in the Galaxy. Holding just as many innate qualities that are worth praising, as damning. They are eager to learn. They are quick to action. They strive for success in all endeavors, regardless of difficulty. However, it is the Humans uncanny ability to forge bonds with other sentient beings that is there greatest strength. Whether formed out of respect or love, the bonds created by Humans have so often played a pivotal role in Earthly and galactic events.
Yet, it is by the very same emotions that give these bonds strength, but also give it Shatterpoints.
While the Force emcpasees all living beings, even those as wise and powerful as the Jedi and Sith can't fully comprehend the true meaning of it's will. Those who cannot discern the truths of the Force are clouded by a sheet of gray uncertainty, for what you think is a hungry predator is really the natural branches of a tree and whom you believe to be an ally is really an enemy, ready to destroy all that you are.

Palpatine's Office

Cosinga Palpatine, now caught in the act as the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious drove Windu back along the corridor to his public office, where Windu rallied and pulled Sidious into a bladelock. Sensing Sidious's incredible power, Windu realized that he had to give himself completely over to Vaapad, his personal Juyo varient, in order to survive. As their battle took them towards the center of the room, Anakin Skywalker's Jedi airspeeder touched down outside. He had meditated on his tumultuous thoughts in the Council Chambers as Windu had advised him to do, and the young Jedi felt as though he could not bear to let Sidious meet his death at the hands of the Jedi; at least, not before teaching Skywalker the secrets of Darth Plagueis to save Amidala from death.
As Skywalker sped through the halls of the Republic Executive Building, Sidious unleashed a rapid series of unsuccessful attacks against Windu, and was driven back into the Ceremonial Office by Windu's steady offensive march. For Windu, having given himself completely over to Vaapad, was able to draw on the torrents of dark side energy emanating from his furious opponent like a heat sink. Using Sidious's own power against him, Windu proved able to match the Dark Lord blow for blow, but realized that even his mastery of Vaapad would result only in an indefinite stalemate. Windu guided the battle across the office towards the bay window, which was quickly shattered by their missed attacks.
As they moved out onto the wind-blown ledge, Sidious re-allocated some of his energy from the Force-powered speed he was assailing Windu with to a Force-powered grip on the permacrete. The duelists then engaged in a brief flurry of bladework, but Palpatine's slight decrease in speed provided an opening, allowing Windu to end the bout with a swift kick to the Sith Lord's jaw. Sidious was thrown off balance, staggering back and dropping his weapon as he flailed for balance before retreating against the window frame. Darth Sidious appeared to be defeated and at Master Windu's mercy, who held his blade to the Sith Lord's throat.
