Hux was angry. Attiss had not delivered a report of his mission, and not only that but the First Order had also failed to capture BB-8, who was carrying the map to find Luke Skywalker. He was now in Snoke's hologram room in the Starkiller Base, standing next to Kylo Ren as they were confronted by their supreme leader.

"The droid will be soon delivered to the Resistance, leading them to the last Jedi." Snoke said. "If Skywalker returns, the New Jedi will rise!" he said while staring at them. "Supreme leader, I take full responsibility..." Started Hux. "GENERAL!" interrupted Snoke while standing from his throne. "Our strategy must now change."

"The weapon." Said Hux firmly. "It is ready, I believe the time has come to use it. We shall destroy the government that support the Resistance. The Republic. Without their friends to protect them, the Resistance will be vulnerable, and we will stop them before they reach Skywalker." He finished, Snoke sat back on his throne.

"Go, oversee preparations." He instructed. "Yes, supreme leader." And with that, Hux left the room, leaving Ren alone with Snoke. As soon as he went out, Iolande approached him. "General, I'm afraid to inform you. The bounty hunter hasn't reported himself yet." She asked.

Hux gave her a small smile. "Don't worry about that, If Waller indeed survived, she won't remain alive for long." Iolande frowned confused. "What do you mean with that?" "Help me prepare a speech, we will use the weapon, our first target... the Hosnian System." Said Hux, sending shivers traveling down Iolande's spine. "Of course." She replied calmly, but she wasn't calmed at all.

A few hours later, every trooper of the first order was reunited in the outside of the base, while Hux gave a speech, Iolande by his side and other high ranking members of the First Order, including Phasma, behind them.

"Today is the end of the Republic! The end of a regime that acquiesces to disorder! At this very moment, in a system far from here the New Republic lies to the galaxy while secretly supporting the treachery of the loathsome Resistance. This fierce machine which you have built, upon which we stand, will bring an end to the Senate! To their cherished fleet! All remaining systems will bow to the First Order! And will remember this... as the last day of the Republic!" after Hux finished the speech, the troopers raised their arms in respect to their Organization. Just then Hux yelled. "FIRE!" and they all turned around as the weapon fired its laser, which flew across the galaxy on its way to the Republic.

Meanwhile, in Hosnian Prime, Korr was once again standing in the Senate, like she had many times before, showing everyone the hologram of the plans of the Starkiller.

"This is a weapon the First Order's been working on, it's capable of destroying an entire system." She was telling them before she was interrupted by Madmund. "So now you've come up with a story about a third more powerful Death Star? You really don't know what to invent." He said mockingly.

"Well maybe if you listened, I wouldn't have to come here every single time the First Order violates the Galactic Concordance!" replied Sella angrily. "And do you really think I would fantasize about something so serious?" she asked. "Well there is a possibility the First Order does have a weapon, the Amaxine Warriors were a unit of them." Said Senator Thadlé Berenko.

"I wouldn't have suspected anything after their destruction, but now I'm not so sure." Korr felt a small feeling of hope inside of her after listening to Senator Berenko. "We have proof." Continued Korr. "All the Resistance needs the Republic to do, is to open your eyes and act, what If they decided to attack the system, what if..." Korr was interrupted by a mysterious rumbling coming from outside.

They all went outside of the Senatorial Complex Building and saw a strange red light coming towards them, the senators were scared, but Korr knew exactly what was it. They continued to watch the laser as it grew bigger and bigger as it approached. In a few minutes the laser touched Hosnian Prime and the other planets, Korr, Villecham, and the senators were immediately vaporized by the fire and the New Republic's capital system ceased to exist...
