EVERYTHING Vader REALLY Did During His First 20 Years (Legends)

For 19 years between Mustafar and Yavin, Darth Vader was not the silent enforcer the galaxy was told to fear. In the Legends timeline, he was running a private cold war against his own master, one secret apprentice and one Sith artifact at a time. This is everything he actually did. From the Kessel Jedi conclave and the Cleansing of Serenno to the Ghost Prison coup, the Vector crossover, the Force Unleashed arc, and the Rebel Alliance founded on the family crest of the apprentice Vader betrayed.
