thoughts ruminating around in my head about the fact onslaught is really a return to form for zanya. decisive, strike once, strike clean, moving through battles like a sharpened blade. like she's actively sabotaging the empire, but goes about it in a way that feels really unsettling for her republic loved ones. yes, they didnt have to die, but these people weren't innocent and neither was he. if he left them alive, they'd just be that much stronger to eventually strike back at him -- and they knew too much. he will not ever find another blade in his back, and this is how he guarantees it. he views it as an us or them. and he chose himself and his alliance at the end of the day.
if a few heads rolled in the process, well, he did what was necessary and thats how he sleeps at night
