HistoryEdit

First thought of by Emperor Palpatine as he awaited the arrival of the Alliance Fleet over Endor in 4 ABY, the "Shadow Hand Strategy" would involve major military assets of Palpatine's empire, including an enormous naval task force to enforce it.^[4] In accordance with the strategy, fleets of warships participating in the campaign fanned out in waves from the Deep Core, conquering nearby worlds.^[1] Although they gained footholds in New Republic territory, following the final death of the reborn Emperor Palpatine, the campaign faltered and the remaining ships were absorbed by various Imperial warlords.^[3]
