YMMV / A Single Decision

• Complete Monster:
  • Sheev Palpatine, also known as the Darth Sidious, is the ultimate instigator of the Clone Wars. In the past, Palpatine had Nute Gunray invade Palpatine's homeworld of Naboo, using the sympathy garnered to become a Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Seducing the disillusioned Count Dooku to the Dark Side, Sidious uses him and the Confederacy of Independent Systems to throw the galaxy into a bloody war. Having Jedi take control of the clone army, Palpatine ultimately planned to have the Jedi destroyed and turn the Republic into an Empire. Staging his own kidnapping while having the Confederacy attack Coruscant, Palpatine manipulates Anakin into killing Dooku, having planned to turn Anakin to the Dark Side.
  • Wilhuff Tarkin started as a member of Palpatine's inner circle before coming into his own after the latter's death. Manipulating his way into becoming a Senator, Tarkin uses his influence to sacrifice both the Mynator sector and the 12th Fleet to the Confederacy, prolonging the war for years and using the losses to have Mas Amedda removed from power. Now Chancellor, Tarkin continues the war, notably pushing for much faster construction of the Death Star and giving a huge region of the space to the Hutts to secure an alliance with them. Tarkin founds the Knights of the Republic, a faction of the Force users loyal only to him. Searching for an alternative to the super laser, Tarkin recruits Darth Maul and has him open the ancient Sith holocron. The holocron leads to Tarkin discovering a mystical flower which can provide power equal to the super laser in exchange for the life force of millions of beings. Tarkin plans to feed the flower with the "undesirables" of the galaxy and use it to destroy the Confederacy's capital Raxus, using fear to win the war and rule the galaxy.
