All it had taken was calling in a few favors with some smugglers he had used for other purposes, the rebels were always so predictable in responding. From there, it had only been too easy to make the last of arrangements.
Now it remained to see how the forces on Lothal would react. It was a pity that Agent Kallus had been shot- he had seemed fairly useful and Tarkin would no doubt be put out by this loss.

"Proceed, Minister."
Krennic stood at the window watching Lothal burn. Blaster shots could be heard as the last of the fights concluded, the heavy thud of the footsteps of walkers chasing down the rest of the rebels and carrying out a demonstration of Imperial power.
"It seems you had a situation on your hands tonight, Minister."
His expression was thoughtful, his brows furrowed. "I hope it is under control."
