Vader is back and is immediately put in charge of the fleet. Moff Shed probably just saved his skin with that action.
I do like how Vader has the 501st with the voices from the original Battlefront. That is so amazing.
Finally!
Guess who's back back again? Vader Guess who's back? Tell a friend guess who's back. Guess who's backing who's back AAA 🎉
Moff's Log #47. Greetings Commander. I have put a bill through. You will have all the resources you need to take down Hoth. If you are able to, you must take down rebel high command. I have a feeling that most of them left that facility. We will see. I will be heading to the north soon to facilitate a new production hub. You must deal with the south before the Black Sun can attack us from behind. Admiral Pisces out.
One of these times I want the thumbnail to just be a serene landscape with a title like "a nice hike through the mountains" after a mission just goes extremely easy.
when did vader care about danger close
For me its 327th because Twi'lek, for the 327th its Ayla Secura.
i'd like to believe that vader wasn't stuck in prison for that entire time, but broke out before the battle and was running around the planet trying to recover his gear and escape. All the while dropping the life expectancy of everyone that worked on that planet considerably.
You've bin Ozzled!
We told you many , many episodes in the past but you didn’t care to listen. Slacker.
Hate to say it but Vader walks like he just crapped his pants.
Hoo boy Shed might be in for a patented Vader neck massage if the Emperor himself doesn't step in xD
At least once the scripted mission is over, Vader can just be sent out on a solo mission
The Raider II was later used in sw_squadrons as a screening ship. That game also let you use the quasar as an imperial, its a shame this mod doesn't let you build it as the empire. I have suggested it but its work for the sake of visuals not gameplay so they don't add it
Huzzah for AotR!!
Imp Rep 47 – The rescue of Lord Vader has been successful, and with that the duty of recording the Imperial campaign returns to those on the front lines. I am Ensign Jaeger Meister, historian for Lord Vader's efforts at the head of the Empire's military forces. I would like to thank secretary Boss Mann and his work within the ISB to maintain these records when the Devastator I was destroyed and my predecessor, Iam Minion, was killed in its explosion. His work was extensive, and I will probably be going over a lot of these reports with Lord Vader just to let him get caught up on all that has happened… and no doubt also catching him up on the complexities of Imperial politics. Thankfully, I am well versed in this and have memorized the Emperor's political treatise, "Overthrowing Democracy in 66 Easy Steps." This will surely let Boss Mann return to his normal work in policing the loyalty of Imperial citizens.
The fighting that has freed Lord Vader has been relatively heavy in the area around Myrkr and Obroa-Skai. The Executor Class Star Dreadnought ISS Sith Rules was able to bully its way into the Myrkr system with relative ease and only needing a few light escorts to destroy the missile platforms the Black Sun had placed around the system. The land battle was tougher as General Veers lead the ground assault. Lord Vader was found in a cell near one of the bars on the planet, though he was also surrounded by trees with little yellow lizards on them. After they were shot, he was able to explain that these animals were able to create bubbles in the Force where the Force did not exist. He also stated that he sensed that this was likely more to defend themselves from the wolflike creatures that were battling Black Sun troopers on one edge of the battle area. I cannot say much… as I was born after the fall of the Republica and the destruction of the Jedi, though I would take the word of the Dark Lord. Even in a semi-weakened state from his imprisonment, the Dark Lord remained imposing and powerful.
From there, he was informed on Shed's campaign and how his forces under Admiral Ozzel had discovered a major Rebel base in the Hoth System. This seemed to revitalize Lord Vader, and he immediately took action to secure Obroa-Skai and then secured the orbit of Contruum. Obroa-Skai was easily secured, though ground troops reported minor damage to the planet's central library, showing the Black Sun's hatred of culture and intelligence. For a historian and student in political philosophy… those actions were terrible, and I suggested that those captured on Obroa-Skai face the death penalty for this desecration. Lord Vader seemed unconcerned and ordered the fleet to move on to Contruum. The fight there was far fiercer in orbit. The Rebels had a massive number of carriers and an ion cannon. Which enabled them to take out a few Nebulon B2s and Raider corvettes and did do damage to the Devastator 2, but without major capital ships and the presence of both Lord Vader and several TIE Defender squadrons, they were defeated and we are now in orbit of the world. From there… I believe the following orders will be for Veers to oversee the capture of Contruum and secure what has been liberated in the fights to free Lord Vader.
From there, Lord Vader informed me that the Devastator 2 would take over Shed's campaign against Hoth. I informed Lord Vader that Shed was arrested by the ISB for refusing to rescue him and was declared insane by the Emperor. Vader assured me that Shed is likely sane and loyal to the Empire. However, like many officers in the Imperial Navy, it is likely that he has been promoted due to political connections or name recognition and is fearful of being involved in any campaign where his failures may be made obvious and thus feared that he would be punished had he rescued Lord Vader. Vader stated that fear was a powerful motivator, and to a degree, it was understandable. To my surprise, as the Devastator 2 left orbit… we set course for Coruscant where Lord Vader has offered to give Commodore Shed command over the ship and provide him with new ways to work past his fears. – Ensign Jaeger Meister, Devastator 2.

Bob: you are rescued!
Darth vader: IT TOOK HOW LO- o hi Bob good to you
Send Vader to Hoth for the mission, send Veers and at least two other AT-ATs for theatrical effect…
501st Journal
Week 199 – Obroa-Skai
Sgt. Kale – Triton squad
"Vader's Return"
There's a sense of jubilation amongst the 501st Legion, our commander, Lord Vader, has returned. When word from the Emperor was sent to Grand Admiral Star that Lord Vader was to be rescued immediately, Star ordered Captain Pellion, an old friend from his time in Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet, to take the 501st to free our Lord. Our clone brothers in arms wasted no time jamming us onto the transports that would take us back to the Core. Upon arriving, the Captain had already dealt with the Black Sun orbital forces and General Veers, eager himself to free Lord Vader, landed as the fires in orbit still raged.
We landed with General Veers and crushed anything that stood in our path. Nothing those pirate scum had could keep us from Lord Vader. There was a grim determination in our hearts to rescue the man that had always stood by us troopers when all other officers had not. For all the hate the officers give to Lord Vader, he always treated us troopers with respect. The clones especially. Our loyalty to him is unwavering, just like it is to Grand Admiral Star and the Emperor.
Triton squad had the honor of securing Lord Vader. TK-3565, Blackburn, was on point as we hit the cell block. Leading with a scatter gun, he charged into the last holdout and let off a blast that cut down six pirates. Lord Vader watched from his cell as we burned out the last survivors and TK-6789, Saunders, cracked the cell door and our clone medic called Painkiller rushed in to ensure Lord Vader was in good health.
His condition was ragged and his suit was badly damaged but still functioning. Clearly the Lord had made some personal repairs to his suit in order to keep himself alive. Miraculously, despite his severe condition, he walked out of that cell under his own power. We escorted him outside where the bulk of the legion was waiting. Forming up as if the Emperor himself were to pass in review, the assembled legion stomped and saluted our commander. I noticed that as he walked his head would slightly turn to regard the men that had come to his aid.
Captain Sledge of our First Company, along with the Legion Commander, Kimmund, met and saluted Lord Vader and got him to a Lambda that took him to a brand new ISD. After leaving the planet Lord Vader's recovery was quick. Very quick. Something to do with the Force I think but regardless, within a day we were already moving to invade Obroa-Skai. That battle was nothing but a slaughter.
Lord Vader was himself again on the battlefield. He even saved a group of valiant locals who were under heavy assault and had been fighting the pirates for years now. They rushed to join him as we pushed back the Black Sun. THIS is the Lord Vader we know. The one who respects strength, competency, and sacrifice for the Empire. I think he and Grand Admiral Star would work well together.
With those two together, the Rebels don't stand a chance.
I already know the story for the next episode Vader loyalist secretly rescue Vader without Moff shed knowing
The fact Shack hasn't read Heir to the Empire series bothers me…
Hi Shack. I do appropriate you sharing your table top tales. It's another thing that makes this series fun to listen too.
Also I do think it would be fun for you to use Darth Vader and the Emperor in a ground battle near the end.
"Why didn't we come sooner to rescue you? It was my belief, and the Emperors expectation, that you would have broken out and returned weeks ago. Pulling resources from the frontline to devote forces to an unnecessary rescue operation. It seems I may have thought too highly of you."

"The Welcoming Party"
Lord Vader's back, unsurprisingly. The 501st dropped down on Myrkr and got him back rather quickly. He was reportedly in fighting strength the moment our stormtroopers brought him back to our fleet in orbit.
The Razor and Dagger Squadron has been dispatched to Contruum afterwards. Let me tell you, this ship is certainly much faster than a Gozanti despite it's mass. We… arrived late to the party though.
To describe the furball over Contruum as 'chaotic' would be an understatement. X-Wings, A-Wings, hell, the entire Rebel starfighter corps seemed like it was present in this one battle. On our side, we had an entire wing of picket ships, and even then our squadrons struggled for what felt like hours of dogfighting.
Each member of this squadron managed to bag at least ten kills each before Parrel called us back to the Razor to swap out our fighters. By the time we got in a fresh batch of Interceptors, the Rebels had already made their escape to hyperspace.
We got our first glimpse of the Executor too. Massive ship, I tell you. It looks like it even dwarfed the Bellator, which itself is already impressive. That Black Sun fleet tearing at our galactic east? They'll stand no chance. For now, Reagel Felrin, signing off.
Would the game crash if you only used tie defenders for a space battle?
Build the large shipyards over Hapes with the extra cash. Then, you can build long-range ion dragons. Combined with the Executor, great for the Rebel shields.
Vader wasn't being held in a cell. Its Myrkr, they probably dropped him in the middle of a jungle and had drones/satellites keeping tabs on him as he was hunted by the local wildlife. and tbh were betting on how long he survived.
That really is the best place to keep Vader a prisoner though, because the wolves use the force to hunt there is another animal that has the ability to completely negate the force within an area around itself.. Luke and his wife got stranded on that planet when I first met and it was so debilitating for Luke he had to lean on her extra skills
The Emperor ordered Vader be left there for his hubris and to let him stew in anger and the Emperors word is law
Shack really needs to retake Fondor. That's a major shipyard a couple jumps from a lot of important worlds
"*frustrated gurgle noises* Why I gotta go get him??" I mean, he was part of the Battle of Hoth in the lore itself, so yeah. If you had tackled that issue several episodes ago, it wouldn't have been nearly as big of a problem as it is now….
I feel like land battles aren't that great anymore, we need something like the seige of Ord Mantell. Many, many stormtroopers, and less shock troopers, e webs, and other troops types.
I would suggest to build up a lot of infostructure, maybe some golan platforms or the civilian structures?
Building up Moff Shed's territory.
There is no such thing as "Extended Universe." It's either Expanded Universe or Legends.
I like the idea that ozzel was such an inept and pompous pain in sheds ass, insisting that he oversee the Hoth operation, that shed went to fetch Vader specifically or his unique discipline methods. "They deserve one another" or something to that effect.
212th is NOT the best unit. The 501st is! These are just the facts. But the 212th is a close 2nd, for sure.
Shed better hope he's got a sturdy enough foundation for the absolute hurricane of anger coming his way when he speaks with Vader again
Taylor Paul Lee Helen Thompson Kevin
A planet full of force dampening wildlife? What better place to keep Vader?
We can just blame it all on Ozzel. 😅
