The Senate was the one voice in the Empire the Emperor did not appoint. He closed it, and from that day nobody told him the truth.
9 ABY, on a landing terrace above Entralla. Grand Admiral Thrawn has come to Grand Moff Ardus Kaine, master of the Pentastar Alignment, to ask for his fleet. Kaine's terms have arrived ahead of him. Thrawn uses the meeting to read a file with him: every channel the Emperor still had once the Senate was gone, who wrote each report, and who read it. The Moffs and the Advisors set to watch them, the Security Bureau on every capital ship, a Ubiqtorate that would not speak to the sectors, and the governors who took Hutt gifts, erased reports, or inherited a sector that Coruscant never knew had changed hands.

Another glorious chapter in real star wars
Thank you
However, in Star Wars, I believe the only fleet that wasn't constrained by jurisdictions and the possibility of starting a feud with another Moff/Grand Moff if they were violated was Darth Vader's Death Squadron. Which was one fleet with seven ships, and thus could not pursue every cell in a galaxy-wide uprising at once.
Keep up the good work mate. The old ones used to just be faces and mouths barely moving

This is the first episode where I have used a small amount of Unreal Engine, so for the first time I am combining 3D animation with AI animation. I have rendered this episode five times and there are still a few small glitches. I apologise for those, and I am working on fixing them step by step.
