For the Empire?

[Neanderthaland]

Option 3:

Reveal that the Empire has used all of its resources to build a giant moon-sized satellite that can shoot a beam of devastating power, utterly annihilating any opponent, and insist that the Republic submits to the Emperor's indomitable will. Indeed, the temporary subjugation of the Empire's military-industrial complex to the construction of this ... 'death star' seems like a reasonable name ... has been the cause of the recent corruption and temporary decline; but now that the existence of the Death Star has been revealed, the Empire shall emerge stronger than ever.

Soon the Emperor's masterplan for total domination shall be complete; none may resist and live.

Damn you for beating me to it.

Oh, yes!
