[@samuelbedsole5089]

This was a major problem with the Imperial command structure. With the constant threat of being brutally murdered for small blunders hanging over your head, with not even your rank and years of experience to save you, officers get desperate to succeed in their goals, often resulting in making bigger mistakes at the cost if the Empire. While Vader was supposedly the Empire's most powerful tool, he was also the Empite's greatest liability by crippling the command structure from the organized meritocracy of the Republic to a fear-driven free-for-all in the Empire. Then again, what do you exoect when you put deranged, emotionally unstable, cyborg, space wizard in charge of morale.

[@slavaukraini54]

Samuel Bedsole that’s not the only reason he would kill officers . They all looked down on him behind his back and only wanted to gain power within the empire by any means . He expected them to follow thru with their jobs. Like when he killed Ozzel thru FaceTime on a destroyer , he noted that it isn’t the first time he failed him and because of ozzel they now had to fight their way into the rebel base . Officers tended not to think and Vader punished them

[@TEGRULZ]

Well how many decent officers were lost to this method, at least one we know of, Lorth Needa. Excellent Star Destroyer Captain, qualified, was handpicked for Death Squadron. It's that sort of stupidity with automatically destroying the career of officers for one or two failures that should never fly in a truly professional military. I think lore wise, it shows how far Vader declined morally from his days as a Jedi Knight. Rommel had failures, eventually made Field Marshal, Halsey didn't get it right every single time with his Carrier Task Force, still managed to batter the Jap navy into the bottom of the Pacific. You build 50,000 Star Destroyers, you should have had 50,000 Captains ready to command them, and then let them go, cut them loose! Foster the Nelson spirit, not the Hitler spirit. Withdrawal is an option, but always seek to close with the enemy whenever possible and defeat them. However, if you are not victorious but preserve your ship and crew, you're not going to be shot. That aside in a small joke, never let Commanders Captain ships.

[@darrylferguson3622]

[@glidershower]

I think the commander hallucinated the whole time. His fear of Vader made him imagine how his visit and learning that they didn't have the spy was going to go down, and that fear pushed him to the edge to pursuit, which is something the rebels expected. In the end, as the ship is on fire and he's about to die, the sum of all his fears materializes in front of his to deliver him to the Force. But Vader was never there.

[@TheBohobemeister]

Agreed. Vader certainly wouldn't board a doomed ship and focus on killing the commander. He'd focus on salvaging the situation first, THEN kill the commander. It was simply the sum of his fears that made him see Vader, when what no doubt actually led to his death was a barrage of turbolaser fire from the Rebel ships.

Material like an ISD is more important then almost anything else.

[@nialencapefet5154]

To be perfectly honest, this is entirely Vader's fault. The guy did not even mess up the mission very badly, it was tactically an Imperial victory, and they knew exactly what the Rebels stole, so they could just warn that factory to double the guards, change the codes and alter the protocols. But because Vader always demanded perfection, which is impossible, people made more serious mistakes on all the double or nothings they were forced to take.

I kind of wonder how Stalinesque Self-Destructive Vader ended up being to the Galactic Empire. Killing every subordinate that fails, especially when said failures are due to enemy superior tactics or strategy or even just luck, will eventually get you to kill all of your own military commanders. Eventually, no one will be crazy enough to want a position of higher leadership so only those who are exceptionally good at hiding their own ineptitude or the less-clever will get the top spots. Meanwhile, your military commanders will end up taking more catastrophic losses to ensure their own survival and will hide more mistakes rather than get them addressed as the penalty for any mistake is death. Last but not least, if you think you're going to be executed for a failure not your fault no matter what...isn't that massive incentive to defect to the Rebel Alliance?

[@TEGRULZ]

Also go Tomcatters, but by some point, Vader himself was actually running the Navy as Supreme Commander. So. It just goes to show one person alone cannot do the job, its why the US Navy is divided into so many commands, though the authority stops with the President, theres oversight from the DDG Captain to the Chief of Naval Operations and everything in between, the DesRon Commodore, the TF Commander that DesRon gets assigned to, the Fleet Commander, the Naval Commander in the area, like CINCPACFLT or COMUSFF (Pacific Fleet/Fleet Forces,) or theater commander like with USEUCOM, the Vice-CNO, the CNO, SecNAV, SecDef, President. At no time should the CNO personally be on board your DDG running around screwing with your command, Vader does do this often, and even if on a mission for the Emperor, reduces the effectiveness of his commanders in the field as such. They even make this Death Squadron for him, which sounds fine, but then you realize its a finite speck of the entire Imperial Navy when he should be like Jellicoe or Nimitz, commanding the entire Fleet from up on high, with subordinates all the way down to this guy in his Star Destroyer (which really is probably a Battleship, but still should be considered a individual unit, like a DDG or CG, or SSN, or CVN)

Well good luck with the mutiny, hiding a star destroyer, and extreme rebel suspicion if not hostility. Not to mention Vader would likely be very ticked about it

Nope, imperium died because the lacked plot armor

[@Dr.HooWho]

Not really

[@JustinTK416]

I'd say that, even more than the moral thing, skilled officers could be killed for a single mistake. You remove valuable assets to the Empire, which could eventually become great, because something naturally unforeseeable occurred. I mean really, not everyone is a psychic space wizard Vader! When is that gonna get through that shiny ass metal head of yours? But also, yeah, the plot armor thing. The old trilogy is a good story, but no one ever said it was perfect.

Just imagine what will happen when it's the emperor coming after you. "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am."

I think the Emperor is more forgiving. After all, he’s more of a politician compared to Vader the enforcer. Palpatine is only unforgiving for cases of high treason and seriously gross cases of ineptitude.

@@alexanderchristopher6237 not really. If palpatine is the one that wants you dead you can expect any of three things to happen, 1: if he’s feeling merciful he will have Vader kill you, 2: if he’s feeling semi merciful he will give you a quick death, or 3: he’s not feeling merciful and will give you the bevil lemolisk treatment several times before killing you

I don't know what's crazier, the officer ordering his crew to fly the Star Destroyer into the mouth of a space slug, or Vader flying into the burning wreck of said Star Destroyer just to execute the officer as cruelly as possible, despite the fact he was pretty much about to die anyway. Gotta respect Vader's dedication toward being the ultimate troll.

[@cosmickeyboard9811]

Yeah I think so too, prolly was a hallucination

[@2cgaming808]

I’m willing to bet that the empire would have easily succeeded in the end if Vader wasn’t constantly slaughtering their best men like pigs on a farm. The constant fear among the higher ranks was crippling to their moral, and thus, cost them the war.

[@alqu6375]

I freakin the the facial expression on Tylux’ face. He quickly when to scared, to evil villain, to mad man, to f****** terrified! It would of been funny if a similar thing happened to another officer and Vader was all, “oh, okay sure, good plan Lt.”. XD

You know, Vader might have congratulated him for his victory against the rebels, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he just had to play the right side up Moon tarot, utter fear.

[@fadelsukoco3092]

If Vader really was in that ship, he probably would have either tried to hail all of the Rebel ships to Force-choke all their command staff or jumped back into his TIE advanced and took care of them in a more-direct way, calling in death squadron to clean up the rest.

[@eren34558]

This officer was probably one of the best in the Imperial Navy. Plot Armor and fear of Vader's Wrath was the only reason why he failed to become Grand Admiral...with 10 like him? Empire could have destroyed the alliance.

"What is wrong with this officer?" *EVERYTHING.*

[@grimbo1838]

One of the imperial crew members should have a least put the commander down in some way before the star destroyer became badly damaged. I understand the true fear of Darth Vader, but at least plan something more reasonable than sending all your pilots out at once into a dangerous sandstorm to chase a simple U-Wing.

[@JC839]

And this is why having this intense fear of death as motivation utilized for Vader and Palpatine for imperial officers is counterproductive to success. That fear motivated the lieutenant to lose an entire squadron of fighters, a cruiser, it’s trained and experienced officers and countless men and the rebel escaped anyways. Vader might be more incompetent of a leader than some of the officers he killed were.

[@1wolftank]

It’d be interesting if Darth Vader said “it was a mistake you’re okay”

[@sonicshooter2]

Vader should really head the words of Captain Rex, “experience out ranks of everything.” He has to realize his commanders, admirals, generals, etc. are going to fail every now and then but instead of executing them, he should let them live to learn from their mistakes so they can improve their performance in the future. Experience will make his commanders more efficient in battle but if they let fear cloud their judgment it will only make them as inadequate as he is making them out to be.

[@lightningshadows7610]

[@alexanderchristopher6237]

TreeckotheRebel Warhammer is fictional, just like Star Wars. Their real strength is not all the background explanation, but PLOT. When they need an Emperor who rules through fear, they’ll get an Emperor who rules his empire for years through fear alone and somehow managed to maintain that power. Whereas the example of the locals being dependent on the emperor had been a historical occurrence in Rome. The emperor handed out free grain and free games. It was effective in controlling the populace for hundreds of years.
