It's night at Eadu. Galen Erso sits in his
laboratory. It's calm in the facility. Too calm for his taste. When the
night comes, the memories are coming too. Memories of his former life.
Memories of his family. Memories of his wife Lyra murdered by the
Empire and memories of Jyn, his daughter vanished since Krennic came to
Lah'mu.
Galen clenches his fist. Orson Krennic - the man he once called his
friend. He realizes that this man never was a friend. Krennic used him
for his own plans. He still uses him like a tool. When the truth broke
upon Galen, he managed to flee and hide together with his family at
Lah'mu. Till the day Krennic has found them.
Now he was a Hero of the Empire, what means nothing else than a
prisoner. They use his research to create a super weapon. A weapon
which can destroy entire planets. They call it the Death Star. A name
which really fits. How many deaths it has already caused? Not only his
wife, there are much more. Scientists who were vanished or felt victim
to an accident, when they refused to stay in the weapons research
programm.
He has to end it. Once and for all.
Galen has built a flaw in the weapon. A flaw only he know it exists.
One hit near this flaw and the whole battle station would explode.
He has wondered how he can inform the Alliance about this flaw. And one
day a plan came in his mind. He has befriended a young Imperial
freighter pilot, named Bodhi Rook. The young man came from Jedha, a
planet where the Empire plunders the Kyber crystals of the ancient Jedi
temple. Galen learns from Bodhi that Saw Gerrera, an old friend of the
Erso family, has established there a resistance cell fighting the
Empire. Maybe Jyn is still with him and maybe Saw can deliver his
message to the Alliance.
This day he has asked Bodhi to be his messenger. He has told him that
he could make it right, if he is brave enough. Galen was well aware
that it is treason to ask an Imperial pilot to desert and contact the
so called Rebels.
But he owes nothing to the Empire. He wants the Empire to pay for what
it did to him and his family. He wants revenge.
He rise determined from his seat and goes to the hologram chamber.
Galen activates the device and begins with the recording. He knows it's
the only way to pay for his sins and to get revenge.
