Quick recap

Vader's games come to an end. Inspector Thanoth returns with news: Vader seems to have passed the Emperor's tests and won back his master's favor. But his side schemes could still bring him down at any moment, and the rivalry with the cyborg Cylo turns into open war aboard the newly built Executor. Triple-Zero and BeeTee-One go off on a bloody mission of their own. Vader, lost in Force visions, asks whether he's more machine than man. The series ends with Cylo beaten, Vader back at the Emperor's side and Aphra thrown out into space, left for dead.
