To defeat an enemy, you must know them
Not simply their battle tactics
But their history, philosophy, art
I study the prey before the hunt begins
Patience is my greatest weapon
Red eyes watching from the bridge of my destroyer
Blue skin setting me apart from those I command
They see a warrior, I am a calculator
Every loss I permit serves my master plan
The rebels celebrate thеir minor victories
Unaware they'rе pieces moved exactly where I need
In my game of strategy, foresight is absolute
While they react, I've planned their defeat
Six moves ahead on the dejarik board
Sacrifice the knight to position the queen
What appears as failure masks the coming storm
I orchestrate the battle unseen
Calculated extinction
Patient decimation
Casualties are statistics in my grand design
Calculated extinction
Tactical precision
Victory isn't won in battle but in time
The Empire's weapon is fear
Mine is the certainty of your defeat
Calculated extinction
Your rebellion ends with me
The Emperor values force, Vader values power
I value information—the superior currency
Your art reveals your weaknesses
Your culture exposes how you'll fall
My fleet withdraws, you think you've won
(A strategic retreat misunderstood)
While you celebrate, I analyze
And prepare the trap you're walking into
You call me monster for my methods
For the worlds I've left in ruins
But chaos is the true destroyer!
Order requires sacrifice!
The Chiss understand what humans cannot!
Sometimes extinction is necessary!
A calculated loss now
Prevents total annihilation later!
The greater good demands precision!
And I am nothing if not precise!
Calculated extinction
Patient decimation
Casualties are statistics in my grand design
Calculated extinction
Tactical precision
Victory isn't won in battle but in time
The Empire's weapon is fear
Mine is the certainty of your defeat
Calculated extinction
Your rebellion ends with me
Some call it cold, this detachment I maintain
But emotion clouds judgment, leads to error
My people sent me as their shield against the dark
What's coming requires calculated choices
Beyond the known regions, threats gather
That would make our conflict seem trivial
My loyalty is to survival itself
And survival demands perfection
Calculated extinction
Patient decimation
Casualties are statistics in my grand design
Calculated extinction
Tactical precision
Victory isn't won in battle but in time
The Empire's weapon is fear
Mine is the certainty of your defeat
Calculated extinction
The galaxy needs what only I foresee
When you understand a species' art, you understand that species
When you understand their fears, you know how they'll fight
And when you know how they'll fight...
You've already won
