Second chapter posted. Comments much welcome.

I've seen that concept before, though this map was more about creating overt parallels.There...is my lazy but also totally amazing idea to make SW as Warhammer 40Kish as possible.
GeneralFriendliness has brought up the fact that Disney is the dark timeline of Star Wars and the end of the ROS proves that fact. The Skywalkers are dead and the only one who possesses the Jedi texts is a Palpatine. Conviently, the Emperor said that if Rey kills him, he’ll possess her body. The Emperor was able to be the voices in Klyo’s head, so why couldn’t he be the voices of all the Jedi in Rey’s head telling her that she can defeat the Emperor?
With Sheev controlling Rey, the Sith have destroyed the legacy of the Jedi and the Skywalkers. Palpatine is free to roam a galaxy without a Republic or an Empire to keep the peace. The galaxy is now a place of chaos, where only the strongest can survive.
Palpatine has taught the galaxy the Sith ideology. His “death” and the destruction of the Final Order has shown that strength and violence, not love and hope, is the ultimate power in the galaxy.
A spit in the face of millennia of Jedi teachings and democratic values that had stopped the Sith before.
At last, the Sith have had their revenge.
I have a feeling that the Emperor would change things up. I've written that Palpatine taught the galaxy the ideology of the Sith. As the Code of the Sith states:
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.Palpatine's Imperial rule was all about him taking control and ruling the galaxy with an iron fist. However, there were still those that believed in the Jedi and Republic ideals. He needed a way to show the galaxy the failures of those ideals after it was shown that he could not control the galaxy through the Empire. Palpatine ensures that the New Republic is completely ineffectual by having Imperial sympathetic senators remove the New Republic's army and kills off the Jedi through Rey. The destruction the Empire and its successors shows that ruling through fear does not work.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
What does work is the examples set by the Rebels and the Resistance; an army united in a single cause. The Death Stars, Starkiller Base, and the Final Order was destroyed because everyone voluntarily joined to achieve a destructive goal.
So there is evidence that peace is a lie, that violent passions give individuals strength. Strength grants people power to challenge their enemies and gain victory over them.
The galaxy now understands that the only way to win is to fight for what you believe in; no compromise or enforcement of values. The galaxy will be full of ideologically minded armies destroying everyone opposed to them, using whatever means possible to win. It's a galaxy where everyone is pretty much Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising.
I could see Palpatine leading the Resistance, slowly corrupting them into a Sith society. Or he could just slink off into the shadows as he is effectively immortal through the proliferation of his ideology.
I like the concept.Thoughts on this Star Wars mirror universe?Star Wars: Mirror Mirror by RvBOMally on DeviantArt

Well, to be honest, Democracy in Battletech isn't that viable for the setting. Then again, it is very Hobbesian. In addition, a lot of the politics (oh, and the population of the Inner Sphere itself is like two trillion after the first two Succession Wars) is an aftermath of not only the death of Democracy but also the Succession Wars.That was nice, I do enjoy a good radio drama, though I think he might have shown a bit more of who the characters were rather than jumping right into the action. Is that the Big O theme playing?
Yeah, BattleTech is weird in Vs. debates against anybody else. Pitiful space forces and brutal ground forces, the reverse of most sci-fi settings. On top of that the Inner Sphere is relatively huge with a tiny population and politics that the Joker would find crazy so on an empire vs. empire basis they're weird as well.
Because they’re the most well know and popular eras. Plus, in my case, I’d be cheerfully ignoring TCW, which I’m sure would piss someone off.Why do these SW/Trek crossovers all have to be set in the OT era?
Can't we have Legacy era meets post DS9?
Or ancient republic meets TOS era Federation.
