Evil Empire Rising

On the eve of the destruction of the Senate
Caused by spin masters of the Dark Lord,
The Republic teethered between life and death
Forcing the corrupt ministers of the old to plan a 

massive counter attack. . .
Endangering a prospective era of peace. . .
Meanwhile, separatist rebels massed in the southern regions outflanked the dark lords' armies. . .
Rebels stormed the army and civilian strongholds and fired volley after volley of heavy weapons. . .
There was burning and destruction.
The innocent populace were caught in the maelstrom.
Almost imperceptibly, sinister forces led by the young Sith Lord brought forth his armies and mechanized armaments of war,
turning the tide of battle,
Using his ability to force a victorious outcome,
the dark lord projected his battle mindwaves onto the battlefields,
thereby devastating the morale of the separatist rebels, forcing a protracted capitulation. . .
At this hour of survival,
Shots and countershots still ring the battlefields. .
Up to now, an evil shadow of the empire hangs over the fate of the Republic. . .
And whatever. . .
Whatever remains of the innocent. .
Even those who are unarmed. . . are slaughtered.
