Why this must be read: This isn't the kind of fic I normally read. For one thing, neither Luke nor Obi-Wan makes an appearance (well, Luke has a cameo at the very very end), and for another, there's no Jedi. I took a chance when reading this fic, and I was not disappointed.
This fic seamlessly weaves together characters and aspects of the prequels with the original trilogy. The main character is Pooja Naberrie, niece of Padme Amidala, who is a member of the Imperial Senate during Episode IV. We see the disbanding of the Senate and the destruction of Alderaan through her eyes, and the aftermath of both as a person and a planet who were previously neutral now learn they have to make a choice. This is a wonderful slice of life during the galaxy at this time, and something that fits perfectly into canon.
“Enough.”
The chaotic roar died down within seconds, everyone’s gaze falling back to the podium. Major Pavish had stepped away, leaving room for another to come forth to speak.
Palpatine.
“The Major speaks the truth. The investigators have searched thoroughly and have discovered a plethora of evidence to convict many of those present here today. To this end, the Empire must respond.”
The entire chamber was deathly silent. Everyone stared at him, as though mesmerized by the gaze of a great serpent.
In Pooja’s eyes, the Emperor suddenly seemed much taller, no longer appearing as a fragile man stooped with age. His voice went directly into her ears, drowning out everything else, even the sound of Corr’s labored breathing directly beside her.
“Due to this blatant act of treason,” Palpatine continued, “We have no other choice but to transfer full authority to the Regional Governors, who have been investigated thoroughly and are found to be free of corruption. This Senate is hereby dissolved. Permanently.”
A haze seemed to pass in front of Pooja’s eyes at that point. How has it come down to this? She thought helplessly, this is a violation of... She stopped, beginning to run over every article, every amendment that she could recall of the Imperial Constitution, the foundation of the Empire’s government. She found that she could not remember anything that prevented the Emperor from taking the step he had just taken.
