* The ultimate face of evil in the galaxy, Darth Sidious was a Sith Lord whose insatiable lust for power plunged the galaxy into years of warfare. Planning his long-range schemes with almost superhuman ingenuity, Sidious adopted the friendly disguise of Chancellor Palpatine, enabling him to attack the old Republic from without and within. Forming a new Empire in the wake of the Clone Wars, he ruled for over two decades as Emperor, bringing system after system to its knees. His evil reign was finally ended when he underestimated Luke Skywalker's devotion to this father and died at the hands of the redeemed Darth Vader. *Source: Back of Card.
