Book cover for Star Wars: Reign of the Empire – The Mask of Fear by Alexander Freed. The cover features a dark, futuristic setting in the Galactic Senate with rows of glowing platforms forming the background. At the center, a figure in white robes, Senator Mon Mothma stands on a hovering black platform, illuminated by a blue spotlight. The title text is large and bold, with “Reign of the Empire” in white and “The Mask of Fear” in red. The Star Wars logo appears at the top, and the author’s name, “Alexander Freed,” is displayed at the bottom along with “New York Times Bestselling Author” in smaller text. The cover evokes a sense of authority and foreboding, fitting the theme of the Galactic Empire.
“While ruling the galaxy would require an ongoing military presence and the application of force, it was many times easier if those who were to be ruled acquiesced on their own account. If the population of the galaxy could be brought to accept and conform to what the Empire wanted without Imperial authorities having to actually impose it upon them, then a great deal of effort, expense, and risk could be removed from proceedings.”

The flag's stripes and stars are partially visible behind the text.
