Emperor Palps has removed the Jedi through Darth Vader. He's seized control of the Senate. Now he's the Chad-Ruler of the Empire and he's actually working to make things WORK.
Instead of fear and terror (just go with it. He's in control of the Dark Side, not the other way around) he's working to ensure stability of the Core and it's outlying regions by going all England/US Hegemon style. Lots of fleet to guard trade, and even more colonization style rulership if a planet/system shows itself incapable of following along.
How does he do it?
Who opposes him?
How does Darth Vader fit into Palp's new plans?
Does the Rebel Alliance even happen?
