Mission to Mustafar

"The Chancellor has given me a very important mission. The Separatists have gathered in the Mustafar system. I'm going there to end this war. Wait for me until I return&hellip; things will be different, I promise."

- Darth Vader to Padmé Amidala

At the end of the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious, having declared himself Emperor of a new Galactic Empire, transformed from the remains of the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, sent his new apprentice, Darth Vader to eliminate the leadership of the Separatist Council on Mustafar, thus ending the war.

Vader traveled swiftly to Mustafar, where he showed no mercy. Using his newfound Sith powers and those he had learned as a Jedi, he swiftly eliminated the entire Separatist leadership.

Following this, he was confronted about his actions by his wife, Padmé Amidala, who could not believe what he had become. Unfortunately for Amidala, Vader's former master Obi-Wan Kenobi, had stowed aboard her vessel, and when Vader realized this, he force choked her and then initiated a duel with Kenobi, one that would ultimately leave him badly maimed.
