The screen cut to the Empress, sitting behind a desk that she had addressed the galaxy from before. Her message tonight wasn't a complicated one, but it was one that would shock many.
Ladies and gentlemen of the galaxy, tonight I have come to you to announce my resignation as Empress, she said, pausing a moment to let it sink in to everyone else. It was a surreal moment for her as well, but there was no question that it was what she wanted.
Years ago, I took control of the Sith from the Eternal and set our people on a new path. One that has forged a strong government for the galaxy to thrive in, she said. The Sith had come a long way, and she hoped that path would not be lost when she stepped down.
Though I will be stepping aside to tend to other, personal, matters, I leave the Empire in the hands of those who have helped me run it up until now, she said.
Lord Anaris will take the position of Empress with my departure and guide the Empire in its continued mission to bring peace and security to the galaxy, she said.
Her reasons for the decision were many. The friends she had buried, the daughter she wanted to raise, the things in her life she had lost, and the planet and people she missed ruling. But those reasons were her own, and not the business of the galaxy at large. There would be rampant speculation and tabloids galore, but ultimately, there was only one more thing she needed to say to the galaxy.
May the Empire ever prosper.
