Line 3: {{quote\| ''[[The Empire]] is dead. Long live the Empire.''}} The Vast Empire is an online group of Star Wars fans, writing fiction set in a shared universe based on Timothy [[Star Wars Expanded Universe\|Zahn]]'s [[The Thrawn Trilogy\|Thrawn Trilogy]]. In it, the [[Villain Protagonist\|heroic stormtroopers]] of the Vast Empire fight the [[Alternate Character Interpretation\|terrorist]] forces of the [[The Alliance\|New Republic]] and [[Enemy Civil War\|other]] Imperials, such as those led by [[Big Bad\|Grand Admiral Thrawn]]. Consisting of a handful of scattered worlds and a fairly small fleet of warships, the Vast Empire and its shadowy leaders nevertheless have [[Take Over the World\|grand ambitions]], centred at Coruscant itself... Main page is [http://www.vastempire.com here], along with the actual stories [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20180413083222/https://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/ here]. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This show provides examples of: ===~~ * [[A Father to His Men]] (Certain squad leaders) * [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] (Of the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant.) Line 27 ⟶ 26: * [[Gunship Rescue]] (An oft-used premise when one of the squads is in a jam.) * [[Hand Cannon]] (Carried around by members of [[The Squad\|the squads]]. * [[Highly -Conspicuous Uniform]] (Blackjack Squad, due to its new position as the [[Elite Mooks\|Elite Squad]] has ''bright red armour''. Mostly averted due to camouflage paint on the stormtrooper armour. * [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]] (Averted, sometimes to the point of [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] .) * [[In -Universe Game Clock]] (The VE has been in the Thrawn era for nine years of real-time. Stormtroopers advance through the ranks in what must be days of in-universe time. Appears that this may be fixed by moving the timeline forwards to the post-Thrawn era in the near future.) * [[Laser Blade]] (Is reserved for members of the secretive Dark Jedi Order, which rules the VE from behind the scenes.) * [[Katanas Are Just Better]] (Some old stories had stormtroopers with vibrokatanas.) * [[More Dakka]] (An effective solution to enemies who can dodge bullets and wipe out squads with a stone knife. [[Depending Onon the Writer\|Sometimes]]. * [[No One Gets Left Behind]] (Comes up about as much as you'd expect.) * [[Obligatory War Crime Scene]] (Several, due to the nature of the main characters.) * [[Old Soldier]] (Several, regardless of in-universe age) * [[One -Man Army]] (Overlaps with [[God Mode Sue]] as above, usually averted. Played straight for certain scenarios where the squad would be expected to die.) * [[Redshirt Army]] (The Imperial Army and the "normal" stormtroopers, who take many more casualties than their PC counterparts.) * [[Take Over the World]] (Well, the galaxy.)
