Synopsis:
At the Imperial Training Center on Yonchorri, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader and Lt. Erv Lekauf watch as the first batch of clones grown from both Dark Jedi and former Emperor's Hand, Sa Cuis genome and Lekauf's are put through their paces. The Cuis clones have retained much of the force abilities of their donor and prove to be superior to the Lekauf clones in all fighting capabilities. The Dark Jedi Sheyvan, their instructor and another of Palpatine's many Hands is confident of the Cuis clones but harbors mistrust of his employer, especially after what had happened to Sa Cuis (In His Image).
On the return journey, Sheyvan and the Cuis clones stage a mutiny in an attempt to assassinate the Emperor. But Vader, with the able assistance of Lekauf and his clones, prove that they are more than capable of defeating the rebellious force users. Vader has no doubts that the Lekauf clones should now be used as the template for the Imperial Army. However, Palpatine still believes he can use force wielding clones as personal troops and wants Vader to train them.
