Baron Nostremi Octovano, a large, flamboyant, overbearing old man with wild hair and a boisterous personality, has a reputation for dealing with the more shady customers of his business, a large and prosperous megonite moss mining operation on the planet Phelarion. But as his daughter comes of age and will soon inherit the mine and control of House Octovano with its lucrative connections to other influential Phelarian families, Nostremi strives to give his company, and his character, a greater sense of legitimacy. Strong-willed and independent, twenty-year-old Lady Thalassa, called "Typhani" by her father's family, senses her destiny when a delegation from the nearby planet Eriadu comes to visit. Captivated by the mysterious and powerful personal presence of Wilhuff Tarkin, Eriadu’s young Lieutenant Governor, Lady Thalassa initiates a relationship that will alter the fate of the entire galaxy.
Wilhuff Tarkin and Typhani Octovano find themselves trapped in the frozen grip of a Phelarian ice storm without power. They quickly learn that they must rely on each other's skills and experience in order to survive. Realizing how well they complement each other, out of the ice burns a passion undeniable, and an alliance takes shape. But will Baron Nostremi approve of their plans?
Wilhuff Tarkin and Typhani Octovano move to Coruscant and begin their life together. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine takes the young couple fondly under his wing and will find them most useful as be begins to lay the foundation for the Jedi Purge. As the prospect of marriage becomes real to his young proteges, Palpatine could not possibly be more supportive . . .
As Darth Sidious, Palpatine never deluded himself that he could lose an apprentice. He knew how easily it could happen. Even before the loss of Darth Maul, he had been making contingency plans. However, Anakin Skywalker was not his next choice, and neither was Count Dooku as Darth Tyranus. Before he even knew of Anakin or considered the potential of Dooku, Palpatine had discovered a brilliant and powerful deep latent on Eriadu, although he had not originally envisioned the young man as a Sith apprentice.
Nearly three years after the loss of Darth Maul and still lacking a suitable apprentice candidate, Palpatine begins to look at his resources differently. Bringing a deep latent to full Force sensitivity can be difficult and quite dangerous, however. In his efforts to sensitize the young Eriaduan commander, Palpatine nearly destroys his brightest protege and a powerful driving force behind his future New Order.
After his failure at subjugating the Zonama Sekot system, Wilhuff Tarkin faces the wrath of Chancellor Palpatine and must also work things out with his best friend, Raith Sienar.
Word of an unspeakable atrcity flashed across the HoloNet. Wilhuff Tarkin had just purposefully landed his starship atop hundreds of peaceful anti-tax deminstrators on a landing platform at a Ghorman spaceport, ruthlessly killing the majority of the protestors. It would be called The Ghorman Massacre, and it would solidify Governor Tarkin's position in the New Order. Yet it would also spawn open rebellion against Palpatine, drive Mon Mothma into hiding, and ultimately bring down an Empire. But is the incident all that it seems, or all that the holovids made it out to be? Or, do the Tarkins have yet another secret . . .
The time is twenty-five years after the events of A New Hope. The Imperial Remnant will at last have a new Emperor soon, if all goes well, not by cloning, not by comandeering the body of an innocent child, and not by treacherous imitation, but by the Empire's own legitimate advances in technology. You see, there really was a shuttle crash at the Tallaan Shipyards contemporary with the Battle of Yavin. There was one survivor . . .
