Anakin Skywalker: The Chosen One

Progress Of Zakuul

As Vaylin sat on The Eternal Throne she reflected on how Zakuul had stood for 3000 years.

She now disbanded The Council of Elders demoing them unnecessary, due to Zakuul's great society has no need of conflicting Government. 

It had taken almost a thousand years for The Outlander's Bloodline to be influenced enough by blind fools to install a council of advisors, which was all they had been initially. 

But over the next 2000 years, they gained miniscule scraps of power until they could essentially tie a sovereign ruler's hands if said ruler was too slow to act. She had dissolved them before they could plot against her.

The society had changed the most however. At some point, she and Arcann had been erased from the history records, however Valkorion had remained as the founder and above all, The Immortal Emperor, Lord, Protector and Master of Zakuul. 

That irked her, but it was also fortunate. The records stated he had 3 children, but not their names nor anything else. This 'new' Zakuul was stronger, didn't need to be sheltered, and could stand on its own. It had adjusted to her seizing The Throne with minimal disruptions so far. 

She quickly made sure to restore Zakuul's History, and more importantly her role as The Eternal Empress, along with Arcann's role as The Former Eternal Emperor. She couldn't have a weak and untrusting society. She reset The History of Zakuul, and The History of The Eternal Empress. 

The Knights had been swiftly brought up to the standards of old by Arcann's disciplined but thorough training. He'd then selected the 45 most skilled among them and taken them on personally following whipping the entire army of Zakuul into shape, teaching them the advanced skills that had made her previous iteration of the Horizon Guard so formidable. 

They were required to advance to specialist standing in one of the 7 Forms and have a deeper understanding and command of the Force than the regular Knights, which he had instilled in them. 

The Captain herself was a specialist in Form VI, Niman. Her brother had worked tirelessly to recreate The Horizon Guard at her order, spending his every available moment for over a month training them. And, they were completely loyal to her and her alone.

The Zakuul military had been her focus, she'd been building up officers and soldiers, maximising Skytrooper and Eternal Fleet vessel production as well as more Gemini Captain Droids. Of course this was all done quietly and subtly, so that the public wasn't alarmed. Gemini Prime was absolutely secure, on planet and locked down.

"You'll never get away with this!" The former Emperor's wife yelled breaking Vaylin out of her thoughts. 

"We won't let you!"

Vaylin rose from The Eternal Throne and raised her left hand. She paused for a moment, to savor the moment of cruelty she was permitted. 

"I already have."

A blaze of purple electricity blasted from her fingertips and struck the defiant woman, killing her painfully and instantly.

"Arcann, end their miserable lives." She ordered after a few moments. 

"As you command, my sister." The Former Emperor consented reluctantly and dutifully at the same time.

His yellow-bladed lightsaber hissed into life, striking terror into The Former Royal Family as he slowly stalked towards them. 

3 strokes later and the 3 new corpses hit the ground following the hiss that punctuated the deactivation of the weapon. 

The single blue eye regarded them regretfully for a moment, then he returned to stand beside the deadly Empress. With a dismissive wave, she ordered the bodies removed.
