The Saga of the Tarkins
An Imperial Family
First Light

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.

Ice Storm

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?

Second Home: To Coruscant

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 . . .

Darth Fear

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.

Zonama Sekot: The Aftermath

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.

A Hand Against Destiny

In the Episode III era, the first Emperor's Hand strikes at Padme Amidala.

Ghorman

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 . . .

New Impyria

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 . . .
