16 years after the end of the Clone Wars, the fall of the Jedi Order, and the dissolution of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire reigns supreme under its leader, Palpatine--secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious. However, his apprentice--the iron fist of the Empire, who led the Great Jedi Purge--Darth Vader seeks to topple his master, and rule himself. Vader's new boldness comes from his secret weapon--his apprentice, Galen Marek, codename: Starkiller, has been under Vader's Sith tutelage for over a decade, and the Sith Lord plans to use his apprentice as an edge to best Sidious.
However, the Emperor discovered Galen's existence, and ordered Vader to execute his secret apprentice. Vader appeared to obey, but he secretly recovered Galen's body and revitalized him.
With a new mission--to gather enemies of Palpatine into a coalition against the Empire to provide the distraction that would lead to the Emperor's downfall--Galen set out, and did as he was told, but he began to doubt Vader's true motivation, and was torn between his newfound allies and the man who raised him.
Ultimately, his choice was made for him; Vader captured the leaders of the newly-created Alliance to Restore the Republic on Corellia, revealing that the plan to gather the Emperor's enemies had been Sidious' all along. Vader took Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, and Jedi Master Rahm Kota to the Death Star--the Empire's incomplete superweapon--and left Galen for dead. However, Galen survived, and traveled to the Death Star to free the Rebel leaders.
As he approached the Emperor's throne room, Galen came face to face with his former master, and his destiny...
