Darth Vader felt a chill in his spine as he approached the Emperor's palace on Coruscant. He had been summoned by his master, who seemed to be in a state of rage. The messenger who had delivered the order had looked terrified, as if he had witnessed something unspeakable.

Vader entered the throne room, where Emperor Palpatine was waiting for him. The dark lord of the Sith sensed his apprentice's presence and turned to face him. His yellow eyes glowed with malice and fury.

"Lord Vader, I have been informed of your...experiment," Palpatine said, his voice dripping with venom. "Do you have any idea what you did?!"

Vader knelt before his master, trying to hide his fear. He knew what Palpatine was talking about. He had commissioned a group of scientists to recreate the Blackwing Virus, a deadly plague that turned its victims into mindless zombies. He had hoped to use it as a weapon against the Rebel Alliance, but something had gone wrong. The virus had escaped and infected a Star Destroyer, the Vector, which was now drifting in space, full of undead horrors.

"I was trying to serve the Empire, my master," Vader said, his voice distorted by his mask. "I thought the virus could be controlled and used to our advantage."

Palpatine snarled and raised his hand, unleashing a barrage of Force lightning at Vader. The Sith lord screamed in pain as the electricity coursed through his body, frying his cybernetics and searing his flesh.

"Fool! You have unleashed a nightmare upon the galaxy!" Palpatine shouted. "The Blackwing Virus is an abomination, a perversion of the Dark Side! It was created by a mad Sith Lord, Darth Drear, who sought immortality at the cost of his sanity and soul! He died millennia ago, but his legacy lives on in this accursed plague! It is beyond our control, beyond our comprehension! It must be destroyed, along with anyone who dares to tamper with it!"

Palpatine stopped his attack and let Vader fall to the floor, gasping for air. He looked at him with contempt and disgust.

"Get up, Lord Vader," he ordered. "You have one chance to redeem yourself. You will take your fleet and go to the location of the Vector. You will obliterate it and any other traces of the virus. You will leave no survivors, no witnesses, no evidence. You will make sure that this horror never sees the light of day again. Do you understand?"

Vader nodded weakly, feeling a surge of fear and hatred in his heart. He hated Palpatine for his cruelty and arrogance, but he also hated himself for his failure and weakness. He knew he had no choice but to obey.

"Yes, my master," he said.

"Good," Palpatine said. "Now go. And do not disappoint me again."

Vader rose to his feet and bowed to his master. He turned and left the throne room, heading to his ship. He felt a cold sweat on his brow and a cold dread in his chest.

He knew he was going to hell.

A/N: I couldn't resist doing one about the Blackwing Virus. It's fucking terrifying.

A/N: Okay so it wasn't stated that Palpatine was involved in Imperial Bioweapons Project I71A so I say that Vader was in on it without Palpatine's knowledge. Honestly, I don't think that Palpatine would be stupid enough to create a virus like Blackwing.

A/N: By the way, if you want to read the novel, there are some free PDFs for the Star Wars Death Troopers novel by Joe Schreiber if you don't have a physical copy of the book.
