Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.

I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time.

We will deal with your Rebel friends soon enough.

I think it is time we demonstrated the full power of this station. Set your course for Alderaan.

You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work.

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!

Here are a bunch of sound files donated by Rhabarbera!

Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion

Princess Leia, before your execution, I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.

This bickering is pointless. Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke.

Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it signing the order to terminate your life.

In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan

You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote for an effective demonstration. But don't worry, we will deal with your Rebel friends soon enough.

(No, Alderaan is peaceful, we have no weapons) You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system!

There, you see, Lord Vader? She can be reasonable. Continue with the operation. You may fire when ready.

I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the old Republic have been swept away.
