Marvel Comics is commence its geographic expedition of the era followingEmperor Palpatine’sdeath inReturn of the Jedi , and for the first time , I palpate like I truly understand how peevish and part the Empire was at that head in theStarWarstimeline . This set the stage for a complex dynamic , as the spectacular tenseness of the Empire ’s fall and the Republic ’s rise is fertile storytelling ground .

InStar warfare : The Battle of Jakku – Insurgency Rising#3 – written by Alex Segura , with art by Jethro Morales and Leonard Kirk – the faction of radical Imperial loyalists led by Moff Adelhard is further divided;as the Moff scrambles to consolidate mightiness in the wake of Palpatine ’s dying , he faces a major betrayal from his second - in - command , Lieutenant Alaytia .

As a reader , this really repel home for me just how perilousthe post - ROTJlandscapewas for the regal forces throughout the galaxy , as they fought desperately to hold onto whatever world power they could .

InInsurgency Rising#3 , when a group of Rebel spies are sent by Princess Leia to snoop on Moff Adelhard , they are captured , but quickly freed . When the door to the prison cubicle they are being held in is unlocked , Kes Dameron asks Therisa Alern if she ’s expecting someone . To which Therisa replies,“yes . “On the other side of the door is Lieutenant Alaytia . This implies that Alaytia has been work with the confederation for some time now , and clearly , it ’s not just a spur of the moment thing – and I think I have it away when it begin .

9 long time afterwards , Star Wars has ultimately uncloak Emperor Palpatine ’s secret Imperial protege who sought to execute his wish in the backwash of Endor

InInsurgency Rising#1,Lieutenant Alaytia assert Adelhard should n’t ruin Rebel fighters , because they need information , as their report were saying the Emperor is idle . I believe this may have head her to line up her own information by contacting the Rebel Alliance . Without the Empire , there was nothing for her to follow any longer , and she discord with Adelhard ’s method acting , so she agreed to help take him down . If it ’s true , Adelhard fundamentally brought down his own faction by inspiring his subordinate word ’s treachery .

Moff Adelhard’s Crumbling Faction Is Already Divided From Most Of The Empire

How Long Can It Survive?

For me , as aStar Warsfan , Alaytia ’s betrayal of Adelhard is the last Florida key that really unlock the Empire ’s brokenness . The potentiality for factional strife was always there , kept from surfacing by Emperor Palpatine ’s iron will , but after his demise , the majestic order is burst down tight . This divided is particularly emphasized by Gallius Rax and Grand Admiral Rae Sloane on one hand , and Moff Adelhard on the other . While Rax and Sloane continue patriotic to the Emperor , even following his demise , Moff Adelhard saw an opportunity to empower himself .

I appreciate how the story has made it clear-cut the Moff has contribute ruin upon himself .

Though initially he expressed loyalty to the idea of the Empire itself , Moff Adelhard ’s personal ambitions have become well-defined asInsurgency Risinghas march on . I value how the story has made it empty the Moff has brought downfall upon himself . Not only did he cause his most trusetd officer to sell him , but he has also allowed the Acolytes of the Beyond , a dangerous Dark Side faction , to manipulate his activity . This also emphasizes that no individual Imperial , no matter how powerful , can match Palpatine and his will .

Grand Moff Adelhard’s Faction Was Shattered Even Before The Battle Of Jakku

His Downfall Is Inevitable

The Acolytes of the Beyondworship the Dark Side of the Force . They were led by Yupe Tashu , one of Palpatine ’s adviser . When Moff Adelhard became cognisant of Reyna Oskure , a member of the Acolytes , Yupe give notice her to go to Adelhard and serve as the solution he needed , while also manipulate him to carry out the plan of the Acolytes , who sought to get balance to the coltsfoot , and destroy the New Republic . As he look for to manipulate others , Moff Adelhard , in fact , allowed himself to be misrepresent .

I think it is striking that Adelhard is responsible for break in apart his own cabal , due to his deficiency of care to what ’s going on around him . InInsurgency Rising # 3,Reyna inform Adelhard that he needs to roll up more power with weapon and ship , and that Vader and Palpatine interpret that , but Adelhard brushes off her comment saying that their force was their downfall . What he does n’t realize is that Reyna ’s advice would really make him stronger against future attacks from the New Republic .

Marvel ’s delayed Star Wars : The procession of Skywalker comic book adaption is finally fix to arrive next year , including scenes rationalise from the film .

Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine surging with power.

Even still , I think what Reyna said is sinking in , and I believe he will bend to her way of thinking when his faction falls asunder , and he is hit too intemperate by an inevitable attack from the New Republic . Adelhard ’s faction is not the only one that ’s broken , though , even Rae Sloane and Gallius Rax cease up divided over conflicting opinions on how to course the futurity of the empire . In the oddment , I would say that is why the Empire break away apart afterEmperor Palpatine’sdeath , sending theStar Warsgalaxy into a chaotic new geological era .
