Rebel Propaganda

Post by jegs2 »

The Federation leaders uncovered historical databases detailing a mighty Empire falling to an unlikely ragtag group of rebels, and from such they garnered hope of meeting such rebels in a distant galaxy.

Only, it was a false hope.

You see, the "historical databases" were nothing more than rebel propaganda leaked to the Federation by Imperial agents. In actuality, the foolhardy attack on the Death Star failed, and the Rebellion was mercilessly crushed. Even now, Imperial operatives are in position to overthrow key leaders throughout the Milky Way galaxy and make way for Imperial rule.

...indeed...

'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

Is this supposed to be a multi-post something?

So this is alternate reality tripe?

Though very possible, the Imperial blunders at Endor were a key part to the Rebellion's victory.
Even now, Imperial operatives are in position to overthrow key leaders throughout the Milky Way galaxy and make way for Imperial rule.
Why? What's the Empire's motivation? Besides that, what's the Feds motivation to nmake contact?

A single sector fleet can conquer the entire Alpha Quadrant, so there is no need to play changeling.

Why would the Empire bother with such complexity to over-throwing the Milky Way powers? They have such a huge advantage in military might that it's simply not necessary to launch a complex campaign.

Maybe Palpatine got tired of not needing to manipulate things from the shadows anymore after becoming the unquestioned ruler of his galaxy, and so started to launch convoluted schemes to undermine the governments of civilizations that he could easily conquer by force, simply for sport.

I still don't get the point of the post that started this thread... FedRebel said it best. Unless this is a misplaced post from an AU fic...
