But vengeance was not to be. He abruptly sent the shuttle into a tailspin, grappling with the warlord as Harrsk fought to wrest control of the transport now spiraling inexorably toward the asteroid below, his yellow optical eye flashing incandescent with rage. Tactically brilliant, the brothers Teradoc were bitter rivals almost from the moment they were born. One considered himself a fearless combatant, the other a holochess master moving pieces around the dejarik board. Although poor physical specimens, the Teradocs excelled at naval theory and worked fanatically to outperform one another in the Corulag Academy.
This one-upmanship paid off when they achieved the rank of captain almost simultaneously, part of a Victory -class Star Destroyer rapid-response taskforce under High Admiral Zsinj, assigned to quell threats in the Quelii Oversector. As neither of the Teradocs was present at the Endor debacle, both took a cue from the rash of Imperials going renegade and acted immediately—mostly in fear of his near relation getting the better of him.
Perhaps the most reckless was Kosh, who, with little to lose, followed the example of the wily Admiral Harrsk and hastily struck out for the perilous promise of the Deep Core.
Treuten, on the other hand, offered several frightened Imperial planets guaranteed protection by the Crimson Command in exchange for their loyalty. With their planetary militias added to his own might, Treuten put Grand Moff Ambris Selit under house arrest and attracted still more worlds until he had amassed a good-sized Mid-Rim kingdom in the Greater Maldrood Sector—which he knew Kosh would envy with every atom of his being.
But Kosh did well himself. Fighting for his very survival amongst the ludicrously clustered stars, plasma-writhing leviathans like colossal deities of war, he became more introspective, disciplined and dedicated to the art of warfare than ever.

Alternately allying with and against Harrsk, Kosh set up a miniature empire around the Deep Core, constantly fighting off and absorbing opposing Imperial contenders. Yet, he viewed his holdings as evidence that he was a charming, daring rogue and took to brandishing an obsolete cutlass in imitation of the legendary raider Piethet Brighteyes while striding the bridge of his flagship 13X. Suddenly, Treuten had to beg for help from the vast new military force his little brother had accumulated. At one point, their alliance almost fell apart as the coquettish moff-turned-pirate Leonia Tavira played the covetous brothers against one another.
Yet, they managed to curb their jealousies long enough to pledge allegiance to the shadowy Omnipotent Battle Leader on the throneworld of Byss. All-out war with the New Republic broke out soon after. Treuten fared badly during this conflict—orchestrated by the reincarnated Emperor Palpatine — and though he held on to most of his Crimson Command, a disgusted Kosh ordered his ineffectual brother and his battered fleet to the Deep Core while he himself attempted to preserve their Mid-Rim holdings. He held onto a reduced Greater Maldrood for another year until succumbing to sentimentality and the temptation of retirement.
Sadly, in truth this bejeweled antiquity was a specially dressed bomb. And so finally the last brother Teradoc joined his departed sibling in fraternal tranquility. Reviled as a thug who wielded his hyper-conservative values like a deadly club, Ennix Devian himself claimed to be but a loyal soldier simply intent on returning the Empire to its days of misogynistic, anti-alien glory under Palpatine. Yet, while veiling himself in humility, his insatiable hunger for absolute dominion bred his downfall.

In his youth, the blond and blue-eyed killer was believed to have grown up in the alien slums of Abregado-Rae before joining the Commission for the Protection of the Republic—a patriotic organization sponsored by Palpatine while still Supreme Chancellor—where he acquired a reputation for harassing his less dedicated peers.
Devian appertained to a rare elite that admitted Admiral Screed, Advisor Doriana and Moff Trachta: Imperials who, while not Force-sensitive, were extremely close to the Emperor. Still, Devian held his own, coming to favor a Falleen bladed-trident in combat. Amazingly, Devian survived, slaying most of the alien killing machines, and Vader grudgingly acknowledged to Darth Sidious that the man was ready.
Palpatine dubbed Devian his Kaarenth Impaler— after the unyieldingly faithful protectors of the extinct Paecian Empire — deploying the butcher after stormtrooper deserters, military defectors to the Rebel Alliance, Lusankya prisoners and escapees beyond rehabilitation or anyone the Emperor perceived as betraying their oath to him.
But the one that most got under his skin was Grand Moff Ardus Kaine.
Shogun Book
One of these hyperspace-capable artificial planetoids, in fact, had been intended as a gift for Devian from Palpatine himself, in recognition of his merciless service. So Devian rerouted them to opposite ends of the galaxy: one to the Moddell sector and the other to the Spawn Nebula. Though the pseudo-battle station was destroyed with the help of a Star Tours spaceliner, no less , the diversion allowed Dissension forces to stealthily hijack countless warships from neighboring Alliance shipyards.
Meanwhile, the second habitation sphere remained hidden, repurposed into a repair facility and shipyard hub. For all his furtive planning, however, Devian never anticipated the resurrection of the master whose legacy he was supposedly upholding. Instead, Devian took advantage of the chaos, as the warlords reverted to their old hostilities almost immediately. Kiara Schmong was one of these dim-witted Sullustan turncoats, helping the Dissension seize heavy ion cannon technology—based on the Separatist superweapon Malevolence —from the laboratories of the Federated Teradoc Union and providing Devian with New Republic E-wings that would help lure Grand Moff Kaine to his satisfactory demise.

Arming many of his ships with this firepower, Devian turned the ion technology against Imperial and New Republic targets alike. A number of different natural calamities such as tremors, floods, and grasshopper plagues took place during these days and were seen as manifestations of the anger of heaven; prognosticators concluded that the end of the dynasty was close. The situation finally ran out of control. Eunuchs turned into an influential group in the bloody political court conflicts, gaining power and enriching themselves and there was a big protest of thousands of members of the Confucian academy against the corruption of the government.
In CE a very large peasant uprising known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion sometimes referred to as the Yellow Scarves Rebellion threatened the imperial capital. A warlord named Dong Zhou seized control of the imperial capital in CE and placed a child, Liu Xie, as the new ruler. Liu Xie was also a member of the Han family, but real power was in the hands of Dong Zhou. Dong Zhou killed all the eunuchs and burned Luoyang to the ground. Battle after battle weakened the imperial order until Liu Xie finally abdicated in CE, the last year of the Han period.
Wars between warlords and states continued and China would have to wait around years to be unified again. The biggest Chinese historiographic work of antiquity was written during this period. Chinese calligraphy developed into an art. Confucianism was made the official state ideology during the time of Emperor Wu Di, who built an academy solely devoted to the works of Confucius. The philosopher had long been dead, but his disciples managed to preserve his teachings.
Confucianism, favoured by the patronage of the state, gained a strength similar to Buddhism during the time of Emperor Ashoka or Christianity after Constantine. Thousands of Confucian academies were built, spreading Confucian ethics across China and most of East Asia and would dominate Chinese ethics during the centuries to come. Even today, the ethnic Chinese refer to themselves as Han rem Han people. Although history tells us, then, that the Han Dynasty ended in CE, from the examples cited above it is clear that the Han still lives on today in many different forms.
