Darth Vader and the Lost Command Volume 2

Darth Vader and the Lost Command Volume 2 is the second Volume comic in the Lost Command Series.

Summary
When Darth Vader returns to his ship, he starts to dissect some of the officers. Captain Shale tells Lady Saro that Vader is growing impatient, and that she will end up on the table shortly. Saro says that Vader will see that her terms are fair, after time, and that Shale has no need to worry about her. When Vader sees Saro, he asks her to join him. Vader tells Shale that Atoans have no hearts, but Saro quickly jumps in to say that they have 1,000 hearts, spread out their body. Vader says that that makes them bleed to death more easily. Vader then asks Saro how she learned Basic, and if she did not tell him, then he would seek, and crush all her hearts with 2 of his fingers. Saro replied that she could not understand them at first, but she prayed to the 29 Atoan gods, for her to be able to speak basic. She cut off, and swallowed a stormtroopers tongue, but the trooper did not survive the ritual. Vader says that he could, and should execute her for killing an Imperial trooper, but she says that she is the protector of her people, and would do anything to protect them, far worse things than murder. Vader once again asks Saro where the admiral is, and she says that Vader must make her queen of the Ghost Nebula for her to tell him. Vader then says that he could force her to tell him, but she said that she would lie, Vader would follow a false lead, and be enraged with his failure, and kill her. Or, she said he could agree to her terms. Vader tells his men to take her to deck 16, and make sure that her needs are met. Shale says that he thinks Vader and him should make decisions together, and that he agrees on Vader's choice. Vader begins to choke Shale, and Shale says that if he fails, it will be his last command, as Moff Tarkin will see it. While Vader was meditating, he had another vision, this one of him, his son, and Padme. He dreams of them on a senate pod, and her saying that she could never have done this without him. Vader woke up, and pounded the door on his meditation chamber. Vader then goes to see Saro, telling her that he agrees to her terms, but, she has to find Tarkin's son first, then she can be the queen of the system. Saro agrees, and asks to be taken to the bridge. Vader and a squadron of fighters come to Garoche Tarkin's flagship. It had big holes, and clones flying out into space. One of the pilots immediately blames the Atans for lying, but a clone says that the explosions came from inside. Vader says it was sabotaged, and they went passed the vessel, going to search it. A clone reports that he is picking up some life forms, and some fighters come out of the debris field, and attack the V-Wings. Vader flew his starfighter, and started to destroy the ships, one by one. One of the pilots suggest that they move the fight close to the wreckage, as the enemy ships aren't as agile. Vader instructs his pilots to fall back, as he shoots the last one down into the wreckage of the hanger bay. The ships crash, and the pilots of the ship get out, and go over to Vader's ship, to find that its empty. Vader kills one of the pilots, and takes the other alive. The pilot reveals everything that they need to know before he died, and Vader sets course for a new destination. The new destination was covered in tar pits. Vader tells Palpatine that the loss of Garoche would make Tarkin stronger, and that he could ensure that he does not live. Vader approves of the plan, and Vader sets off. Vader instructs Commander Voca to prepare walkers, that they will be a distraction for Stealth Troopers.
