Determined to seize control of the galaxy, the Sith Emperor commands Lord Vycus, a member of his Dark Council, to lead a bloody campaign against any and all resistance. Ultimately, Lord Vycus fails in his task and he flees to an unknown planet awaiting reinforcements from the Dark Council. The Dark Council betrays him and gives his location to the Rebel Alliance.
