LIKE MY FATHER BEFORE ME

CHAOS IN THE GALACTIC SENATE! In a heavily sensationalized trial, newly reinstated JEDI MASTER DOOKU reveals a horrifying truth. Chancellor Palpatine has been manipulating both sides of the Clone Wars with the intent of destroying the Republic.

With the integrity of the Chancellorship and the Senate equally compromised by this revelation, the Senate decides to search for the next Chancellor outside of their own ranks. Even with each planet in the Republic submitting their own candidates, SHI’AL VALORUM wins the election by a stunning landslide.

The newly inaugurated Chancellor Valorum scrambles to build her administration and spearhead necessary recovery efforts for the SEPARATIST WAR, unaware that the true war has only just begun …

WHAT IS IT?

An alternate universe fix-it timeline wherein Shi’al Valorum becomes Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. This timeline is tied to the lore of the redemptionverse Dooku portrayal written on the blog prodijedi.

WHEN CAN I USE THIS PLOTLINE?

with anyone and everyone! (no seriously I mean it)

in time travel scenarios (ie a canon timeline muse being tossed into this fix it timeline and meeting Chancellor Shi’al, or Chancellor Shi’al being tossed into the canon timeline because angst)

FORCE SUPPRESSED

What is it?

An alternate timeline where Shi’al is born with Force Sensitivity, but her connection to the Living Force is suppressed by Sith Magic from Darth Sidious.

❝ Gazing into this newborn infant’s eyes, Darth Sidious was granted a moment of clarity. HER MERE EXISTENCE PUT BALANCE IN JEOPARDY. Either the SITH WOULD RULE THE GALAXY amidst the JEDI ORDER’S DESTRUCTION, or the Jedi would be led into a new RENAISSANCE as the souls lost to darkness were guided back to the light.

THE SONGBIRD, BORN AT TWILIGHT, WILL EITHER GUIDE THE LOST BACK TO THE LIGHT OR PLUNGE THE GALAXY INTO ENDLESS NIGHT.

Whichever came to pass was entirely her choice to make. The Chosen One may be BALANCE PERSONIFIED, but in that cradle rested the EMBODIMENT OF CHAOS. There was nothing that he longed for more than to exploit this well of immense, untapped power for himself; however, this child was DANGEROUS. This weapon could single handedly upset the entirety of his grand design if she fell into the wrong hands. For the good of the galaxy, HE MUST SUPPRESS HER LIVING FORCE. ❞

FOR NEW LIFE TO BE CREATED, a life must be taken. The birth of SHI’AL FINIS VALORUM is marred by great tragedy; through bringing Shi’al into existence, Coruscant’s widely beloved fashion designer RHEA VALORUM meets an untimely end. Doctors list the ultimate cause of her death as CHILDBIRTH, but then-Senator SHEEV PALPATINE knows better. After all, HE was the one who had dealt the killing blow.

This newborn radiated immense POWER, and upon learning of the PROPHECY tied to her existence, Sidious grew wary. Shi’al was destined to tip the scales of balance forever; she was a WILD CARD who could become quite dangerous were she to fall into the wrong hands. While Rhea is in labor, Sidious wields ancient SITH MAGIC to drain the expecting mother’s life force and repurpose that life force as a PERMANENT FORCE SUPPRESSION BLOCK.

Shi’al grows up TRAPPED WITHIN A GOLDEN CAGE, none the wiser to the sheer power thrumming inside her soul save for the peculiar sensation that something is missing. Despite the suppression block, her Force Sensitivity echoes in unique ways — a keen and open-minded observer might, for example, witness her KNIFE THROWING in action and wonder whether her SHARP REFLEXES were a gift from the Living Force. However, their musings would soon be dismissed; Sidious’s block is buried so deeply inside Shi’al’s soul that it remains undetected even by the JEDI COUNCIL.

⠀ ⠀Three years into THE CLONE WARS, Shi’al’s beloved godfather — CHANCELLOR PALPATINE — is exposed as a SITH LORD and a TRAITOR. Presented with IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE of the latter accusation, the GALACTIC SENATE (against all odds) sentences Palpatine to death by PUBLIC EXECUTION. Naturally, Shi’al Valorum is in attendance.

Upon the very instant that the KILLING BLOW is dealt, Shi’al collapses — not from grief as some erroneously assume, but rather, from the DESTRUCTION of the Force Suppression block buried within her soul for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS. The consequences of the block’s demise are felt far and wide by Force-Sensitives across the galaxy as the release of PENT-UP ENERGY causes an enormous disturbance in the Living Force. Shi’al remains entirely oblivious to this entire fiasco, unconscious and overwhelmed due to the sensory overload from her seemingly newfound Force Sensitivity.

⠀ When she wakes up in the MEDBAY of the JEDI TEMPLE, Shi’al learns of the Force Suppression Block amidst mourning the loss of her godfather. In the weeks that follow, the young woman must grapple with these developments — and to make matters even more complicated, MASTER YODA HAS DEFIED THE WILL OF TRADITION AND OFFERED HER A HOME WITHIN THE RANKS OF THE JEDI ORDER.

The fate of the living force is now in her hands.

When could I use this plotline?

… if there is a VILLAIN muse wanting to acquire a new APPRENTICE or explore a possible REDEMPTION ARC.

… if there is a NON-FORCE SENSITIVE muse wanting to explore a timeline that does not end in tragedy.

… if there is a JEDI muse who wants more connections within the ranks of the Jedi Order.

… all the time! it’s actually probably the most dominant universe within my blog right now, and definitely one of my absolute favorites to write. Gimmie all the force sensitive Shi’al threads / interactions 😤

Universe Notes / Headcanons:

The concept for Shi’al’s prophecy — and the motivation for Palpatine to suppress her connection to the Force — was pulled directly from CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY, which sometimes calls JESUS the REDEEMER. In Shi’al’s case, the title REDEEMER refers to her destiny to DELIVER LOST SOULS back to the light and FREE THEM FROM THE CAPTIVITY of the dark side. However, this does not mean that she can force redemption upon another; all she can do is offer the lost soul a second chance, and provide them with the tools to accept that chance.

so yeah … either Shi’al becomes Space Jesus, or she falls to the Dark Side and resurrects the Sith Empire with herself as Empress. There’s literally no in between, because this is all about pure CHAOS. leave all the balance to Anakin ✨

NOBODY knows about Shi’al’s prophecy except DARTH SIDIOUS, QUI-GON JINN, COUNT DOOKU, and YODA. Sidious ordered Dooku to delete the prophecy from the JEDI ARCHIVES shortly after Shi’al’s birth.

Although preferred, this universe does not necessarily require Sidious’s death. If your muse is affiliated with the dark side, then they may be able to detect and remove the block from Shi’al themselves.

If the Suppression block is removed by an external factor other than Palpatine’s death, the removal will be excruciatingly painful for Shi’al.

In the immediate aftermath following Darth Sidious’s execution, his crimson red lightsaber chooses a new owner entirely of its own volition — Shi’al Valorum, who purifies the kyber crystal and wields the weapon as her own. She also builds a lightsaber of her own design after acquiring a violet kyber crystal on Ilum.

This universe can be tied to the redemption universe that I have developed for Count Dooku on @prodijedi.
