Description: Grand Moff Tarkin, the dreaded servant of Palpatine who formulated the infamous Tarkin Doctrine of rule through fear, died with his most ambitious project. In fact, his demise at the Battle of Yavin was as important to the survival of the Alliance as was the destruction of his brainchild, the Death Star. Governor Tarkin, the cunning and ambitious ruler of the Empire's Seswenna Sector, devised the doctrine that so perfectly encapsulated the Emperor's desires and ambitions. While the Empire might be less powerful without the Death Star, it still possessed the awesome might of the Imperial Navy. But Tarkin, on the other hand, was irreplaceable. It was his determination and management that built the Death Star, and it was his military genius that made him the best person to command it. His conception of its use was as a grand weapon of intimidation and fear. It was his decision to make Alderaan a vicious example to the rest of the Empire of just how powerful the Emperor was. Tarkin was an interesting man, the kind of person who appeared untouchable, both in the heat of battle and on the Senate floor. It is true that his charisma and personal presence were capable of swaying even Darth Vader's iron resolveÑsaving many of his closest commanders from Vader's deadly mind-projected wrath. Led by Admiral Motti and General Tagge, Tarkin's tactical brain-trust aboard the Death Star was unmatched anywhere in the Empire. It is a further blessing to the Alliance that so many of the Empire's finest minds were so conveniently wiped out. With the destruction of the Death Star at Yavin, much of the Empire's military collapsed into bureaucratic chaos. Tarkin's remaining underlings vied for the scraps of power left behind in the leaderless vacuum, while those who opposed Tarkin saw a grand opportunity to grab authority. The resulting internal strife gave the Rebel Alliance enough time to evacuate Yavin. Tarkin was ruthless, powerful, and full of vision. His ideas helped shape the New Order as it grew into an Empire. He was an evil genius, and while the galaxy can rest a little easier with him gone, one must wonder how many others will rise to take his place and bring terror and fear. Is it possible that Thrawn, believed to be the last of the Empire's Grand Admirals, was only the beginning?
