The Galactic Empire & Inquisitorius

Delve into the oppressive might of the Galactic Empire and the sinister agents of the Inquisitorius in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This section explores the Empire's grip on the galaxy and the role of the Inquisitors, particularly the formidable Second Sister, in hunting down Jedi survivors.

Set five years after the devastating events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, the galaxy is firmly under the iron fist of the Galactic Empire. The Jedi Order has been all but eradicated, and any surviving Force-sensitives are relentlessly hunted. The primary antagonists tasked with this grim duty are the Inquisitors, a group of former Jedi who have turned to the dark side and now serve Emperor Palpatine. These formidable warriors, trained in the dark side of the Force and wielding unique red lightsabers, are Cal Kestis's most persistent pursuers. The Second Sister, Masana Tide, stands as a particularly dangerous and personal threat, her history intertwined with Cal's own past.

The Galactic Empire:

• Rule of Law: The Empire enforces its will through military might, fear, and the suppression of dissent. Stormtrooper legions and Imperial Star Destroyers patrol the galaxy, ensuring compliance.
• Imperial Ideology: The Empire promotes order and stability, but at the cost of freedom and individuality. Force-users are seen as threats to this order.
• Resource Exploitation: Imperial forces are often seen occupying planets to extract resources, disregarding the native populations and environments, as seen on planets like Kashyyyk and Zeffo.

The Inquisitorius:

• Former Jedi: The Inquisitors are fallen Jedi who succumbed to the dark side, often through torture and manipulation.
• Hunters of Survivors: Their primary mission is to hunt down and eliminate any remaining Jedi Knights and Padawans.
• Dark Side Abilities: They wield powerful dark side abilities, including telekinesis, Force choke, and enhanced combat prowess.
• Red Lightsabers: Their sature weapon is a double-bladed, spinning red lightsaber, a stark contrast to the blue and green blades of the Jedi.

Understanding the nature of the Empire and the threat posed by the Inquisitors is key to appreciating the desperate struggle Cal Kestis faces as he tries to survive and rebuild the Jedi Order.
