Chapter 163

Alexander's shuttle had arrived within the Hanger of the Death Star. Lined up outside was a massive formation of Hundreds of soldiers and Officers. Waiting for him were his wives, Empress Abeloth and Empress Satine.

As he descended down the ramp of the transport, Abeloth and Satine had walked up to him, and each planted a kiss on his cheeks.

Alexander smiled in response, "It's nice to see the two of you doing well" he said as he gave both a kiss back.

"Yes, it has been some Months, but that's to be expected when you have a Galaxy to defend" sighed Abeloth. Satine nodded agreeing with what Abeloth said.

"Well, in a few moments that will all be over. How did the reconstruction of the station go?" asked Alexander as they began to walk pass the formation of soldiers and towards the stations main control room.

"We have significantly improved the design that the Empire had created and reinforced the stations defenses. The stations use as commanded has been severely restricted as a last resort when our military is either overpowered or weakened or when commanded by the Emperor himself. No one else can order the use of the station unless they have a royal order to do so" explained Abeloth.

"Good, once the war is over, I will change the law so that even the emperor has to have certain conditions before he can use the station, so that the people of the Galaxy can have a peace at mind that the weapon is properly controlled and protected under Imperial Law." stated Alexander. The final threat of the Vong was about to be dealt with which would leave the Death Star to simply become a weapon that will remind those who rebel, what power the Terran Ascendency truly held.

"That's a good proposition, Alexander. The people will still be afraid of this massive super weapon, but at least some of them can be reassured that it's use will be restricted to only emergency times." added Satine.

Exiting the hanger, they entered an elevator which took them to the command center. Once they arrived, the entire command room was already standing at attention as Maul was standing in the center of the room.

"Your, highness, the station as at your command." Said Maul bowing his head slightly.

"Good, now let's get things under way" Alexander walked to the center of the room where the main controls and tactical display was located.

"Our intelligence has identified the final two planets that the Yuuzhan Vong are holding out on. Helska IV is their main stronghold where the remainder of their military have gathered, while on the world Belkadan is a sort of outpost where they have established a few of their own shipyards." reported Maul.

"Good, that makes this easy then. Target Helska IV first where their fleet is gathered" The operators and officers began to input the information into the computers as the Death star's main weapon powered up.

The Death Star started to rotate so that the weapon was facing the direction Helska IV. Before he had arrived, the Death Star had already been moved into firing range of the two planets.

The firing chamber, previously silent, hummed with energy as it drew power from the core of the station. Alexander waited; his eyes fixed on the screen that portrayed the image of Helska IV. "Yielding optimal charge in t-minus 30 seconds," announced one of the officers.

Satine was beside Alexander now, her hand resting gently on his arm. He could feel her soft touch through his uniform, a comforting presence. Abeloth stood on his other side, her ethereal beauty glowing in the light of the command center.

"Ten seconds ... five ... four ... three ... two..." The countdown echoed inside the control room. There was a moment of silence before the operator cried out, "Fire!"

The Death Star's weapon discharged, emitting a bright beam that raced away at light speed. All eyes followed its trajectory until it disappeared from view.

Above Helska IV the Vong were going about their business, preparing for the impending invasion that they knew was going to happen. However instead of an invasion the planet was hit be the Death Stars Superlaser causing an incredible explosion that swiftly expanded across its atmosphere. The hue of the horizon lit up with a deadly brightness as the destruction consumed all in its path, the fortresses vaporized instantly and eventually the entire planet was engulfed.

A silence fell over the command center as they watched the screen displaying the planet and its fleet now reduced to an expanding nebula of dust and debris. The final stronghold of the Vong had been obliterated, leaving only Belkadan, their outpost, standing.

Alexander turned to Maul, "Target Belkadan." he ordered. Maul nodded and relayed the order. Once again, the control room sprung into activity as coordinates were calculated.

Receiving confirmation that Belkadan was targeted and locked in, Alexander gave another nod and said, "Fire." Once again, the room fell silent as the superlaser charged.

"Five... four... three... two..." The numbers rang out ominously against the quiet hum of machines and monitors. Then, once again, the cry, "Fire!"

The superlaser fired a second time. The beam shot through space at unimaginable speed towards Belkadan. Within seconds, the outpost world shared the same fate as Helska IV. The orbital shipyards and all traces of Vong presence vanished into a fiery spectacle as their last foothold was turned into cosmic dust.

Cheers filled the command room as the officers witnessed their victory against the Vong.

"The war is over," Satine whispered.

Alexander nodded pulling the two of them closer. With all of that said and done, the Galaxy had returned to a state of peace as celebrations were planned across the Galaxy. The worlds that were ravaged by war were beginning to be rebuilt. Those who were displaced during the war could now return to their worlds.

There was still much to be done, but Alexander would ensure that the Galaxy remained at peace for the foreseeable future. Peace, Stability, and order has finally returned to the Galaxy.

Alexander would continue to be Emperor for the next thousand years and the Terran Ascendency would continue to exist for the next thousands of years.

And so, as they returned to the heart of the Terran Ascendency, they carried with them the hope of a brighter future, a future forged from the ashes of war, guided by the lessons learned, and protected by the vigilance of those who believed in a galaxy where justice and compassion reigned supreme.

A/N: It's the end of the story, finally we see the end of all the wars and the Galaxy finally at peace. 

Now is there things that can be improved upon in the story, Yes and I plan to do that as right now I am in the process of rewriting some of my earlier fanfics to improve upon the story and grammar.

For Star Wars however, I plan to release a new fanfic before I start rewriting the others. The story will be called Star Wars: Daimon's story, I already posted an Auxiliary chapter so people can add it and get updates on it's progress. It's planned to be a massive project that will have between 500-1000 chapters, a first for me to write a fanfic that long.
