For those who don't know, Rae Sloan was the face of the Empire after the Battle of Endor, and Grand Admiral for the Empire's last Super Star Destroyer,
The Ravager
, with Gallius Rax pulling the strings from the shadows, before being
shot and killed by Sloan following the battle of Jakku
, who then fled into the Unknown Regions, and eventually founded the First Order.
"You're surrounded!"
"All I'm surrounded by is fear. And dead men." - Darth Vader to an army foolish enough to face him.
