The fanfic starts when the Federation starship ''USS Carolina'' chases a Jem'Hadar ship through a wormhole, and finds itself in The Galaxy Far Far Away. That galaxy had split off the official EU at an unspecified date when Han and Leia were killed, and Anakin Solo has decided to put some order in the galaxy. In short, now he is the new Emperor, and his siblings are his sidekicks.

This is an outright lie. Wong\'s stated on the site that he loves the original series, as well as star trek ii and vi. The only series he outright hates are deep space nine, voyager and enterprise. TNG is more of a mixed bag. He feels that star wars is technologically superior, but he doesn\'t deliberately weaken star trek tech.

* GeneralRipper: Halsey. He's a morally ambiguous character, given that he's absolutely ''right'' that the Federation won't survive without his less-than-ideal methods.
* IGaveMyWord: This is Admiral Kanos's redeeming feature. He offers the newly conquered Federation virtual autonomy (with only a trade tax) if they assist the Imperial loyalists against [[spoiler:Jacen's rebellion]]. When he (barely) wins, even his own closest subordinates expect him to break his word, but he keeps it.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Commander Chang gets a little bit annoyed when the Vulcan ambassador Marek calls Captain Picard an "Imperial puppet".
--> "He is a ''Federation officer''!" Chang exploded. He looked at the ambassador with contempt plainly evident on his face. "Worthless politician ... you don’t wear the uniform," he snarled, "so you don’t know what it means. You don’t know what it means to risk your life in defense of your world. But I know what it means, and so does Picard. He never had a choice!"
--> "We ''always'' have a choice, Commander."
--> "Yes, we do, don’t we? Picard chose to accept Kanos’ offer because the alternative was to watch Imperial troops turn Earth into a smoking wasteland. But what about ''you?'' Your government signed a non−aggression pact with the Empire without even engaging them in battle! You got on your knees and begged for mercy, so you wouldn’t have to sacrifice any of your oh−so precious and oh−so ''superior'' Vulcan soldiers. While the rest of us were fighting and dying, you ''chose'' to cower in your homes. And now you condemn Picard for what ''he'' did? People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, Marek."

The fic starts when the Federation starship ''USS Carolina'' chases a Jem'Hadar ship through a wormhole, and finds itself in The Galaxy Far Far Away. That galaxy had a split off the official EU at an unspecified date when Han and Leia were killed, and Anakin Solo has decided to put some order in the galaxy. In short, now he is the new Emperor, and his siblings are his sidekicks.

The Federation crew is captured and interrogated when suspected to be rebels. While eventually discovered not to be, that is hardly better for them. You see, it seems that the Emperor has a small problem. He just crushed the Rebellion... he needs new enemies.
