Steel War

Note: This takes place in an alternate universe from the films and my other fanon articles

"The Emperor's decision not to arrest 8311 was a grave mistake on his part. Now we in the midst of a war which is tearing us apart."

- Mon Mothma

The Steel War was a massive conflict that began shortly after the Battle of Yavin between the Empire, Rebel Alliance, and the Steel Legion, a criminal organisation which, as a result of Palpatine's decision not to arrest Unit 8311, leader of the Legion. After Yavin, the Legion conquered Black Sun as the most powerful criminal body in the galaxy, and took over the underworld. For some reason, 8311 became more power-hungry and megalomanical, and after taking control of many planets with bribery and force, began all-out war on the galaxy.
