General Grievous

General Grievous was a character who appeared in "Twitch Chat and I invaded Space with Artificial Intelligence". He was one of the Second Empire of Dougtopia's most trusted generals, serving in their army until his unfortunate demise.

## Description

In the DDCU, General Grievous is one of Dougtopia's greatest generals. He is dedicated to his assignments as a general, carrying through with what the emperor tells him to do despite any doubts he may have. However, he is also shown to be bad at stealth missions, and has been shown to explain his mission to his target, removing any potential element of stealth.

## History

### Pre-Civil War

General Grievous was a highly respected general in the Dougtopian army, likely leading many of their military actions early on in the empire's history. However, he never actually joined the empire full time, likely being a mercenary. When the Emperor of Dougtopia meets with Jar-Jar Binks on Zeltros, the Emperor of Dougtopia gives Jar-Jar a large bag of money to make amends. The Chaturn Empire sends Doom Guy to attempt to steal the money, but the people of Dougtopia shoot Doom Guy down, but take the gift from Jar-Jar, instead giving it to General Grievous. This served as a bribe to join the empire full-time.

### Civil War

Shortly after being given the large bag of money, General Grievous and his army discover a group of Dougtopians who were in the middle of robbing a bank. The group of Dougtopians begin to attack other Dougtopians, likely being Grievous and his army. This commences a battle between Dougtopians and other Dougtopians, with Chaturn being notified of this (likely by Doom Guy) and sending their army down to aid the rebelling Dougtopians. The Civil War is brought to a swift end, however, when the rebelling Dougtopians and the Chaturns are destroyed by Sun 3, resulting in General Grievous and his army winning the civil war.

### Final Assignment & Death

After discovering that a sentient alien named Yoda lives on Mercury, the Emperor assigns Grievous to travel to Mercury so that he can kidnap Yoda. Grievous is a little hesitant at first, especially after he is informed that he will be using the same ship he had previously stolen from the traitorous Dougtopians during the civil war. The emperor also tells Grievous that he believes that Yoda is the real emperor of Dougtopia, and that he needs to be kidnapped so that the Emperor's reign is not brought into question. General Grievous travels to Mercury where he meets Yoda, alongside his pets Groot (who is an old tree stump) and Wookie (which is a big hairy dog). After introducing himself, Grievous announces to Yoda that he plans to kidnap Yoda. He also explains that the Emperor of Dougtopia believes that Yoda is the real emperor, which is why he needs to kidnap Yoda. Yoda attempts to tell Grievous that he is not the real Emperor, but Grievous refuses to believe it. Yoda then cuts Grievous in half, ending his life.

## Trivia

* A second General Grievous appears after Grievous' death. However, given what Doug says, it is most likely that this is another general, either related to Grievous or one attempting to follow in his footsteps. General Slith was another general who succeeded Grievous.
* General Grievous as a resource only lasted for 1 turn, being introduced in Chat's turn when he is counted as a resource only to die during Doug's turn immediately after.

Therefore, it is most likely that Grievous was a mercenary at first.
