The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"At last the work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith."
―Darth Sidious — (audio) Listen (file info)[src]

A transmission broadcasting the voice of the late Sith Lord Darth Sidious, publicly known as Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine, was delivered across the galaxy[4] in 35 ABY.[3] It was a message of revenge; no longer concerned with hiding his Sith identity following his resurrection,[4] the reborn Emperor Palpatine declared that the day of the Sith was imminent, and that victory was near. At this time, the galaxy was engulfed in a war between the First Order and the Resistance, led respectively by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and General Leia Organa.[5]

Ren subsequently undertook a mission to Mustafar in search of a path to the Emperor, seeking to confront this threat and secure his power.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

Palpatine's broadcast was first heard in Fortnite X Star Wars, a collaborative event that took place in the virtual world of Fortnite.[6] It was later canonically mentioned in the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, the final installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.[2] While also featured in the film's novelization, author Rae Carson stated that the broadcast was conceived by someone else, not by her nor the Fortnite developers.[7]
