Just an idea I had. Tell me what you think.
Force Pike (Basic)
Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Speed Down for 2 turns. If Royal Guard has above 50% health, also Stun the target for 1 turn. Otherwise Royal Guard recovers 15% Health.
Imperial Phalanx (Special) (Cooldown: 3 Turns)
Dispel all debuffs from all allies and grant them Defence Up for 2 turns. Empire allies gain 35% Turn meter and Potency Up for 2 turns. If Emperor Palpatine is Present, he and Royal Guard gain Retribution for 2 turns.
Unyielding Defender (Unique)
At the end of each turn, for each other ally that took damage during that turn, Royal Guard gains 10% Turn Meter and Recovers 10% Protection. In addition, Royal Guard Taunts for 1 turn and Recovers 35% Health whenever another ally falls below 100% Health.
Emperor’s Guard (Unique)
At the start of battle, grant Guard to Emperor Palpatine until Royal Guard is defeated. In addition, Royal Guard and Emperor Palpatine have +50% Defence and Potency.
At the end of each turn, if another Empire ally took damage during that turn, that ally recovers 10% Protection, doubled for Emperor Palpatine.
Guard: Can’t be Critically hit, Immune to Daze and Stun, +25% Critical Chance.
(Zeta) Whenever an enemy Resists a Debuff from an Empire ally, that enemy loses 5% Turn Meter and Tenacity until the end of battle. These effect’s can’t be Resisted.
Royal Guard
Dark Side, Empire, Tank
Versatile Empire tank that Guards his Emperor and punishes enemies for attacking other allies.

So do I.
I could increase the health recovery to 15%, but no higher as he also recovers health when he gains taunt and can gain health steal up from palpatine.
He currently doesn't have a zeta. I did have a few idea's for one but then started wondering whether he really needs one. Plenty of good characters without zeta's. But I'm still thinking about it. I had 3 idea's for possible zeta's. I put them in the spoiler tag. Tell me what option you prefer or give an idea of your own @DaPowerfulJedi
When Emperor Palpatine is defeated while Royal Guard is active, he is revived at 100% health and protection and royal guard is defeated. When royal guard is defeated, Emperor palpatine gains 100% Turn Meter and +25% Offence, Speed and Potency until the end of battle. These effects can't be prevented.
2nd idea:
The first time Emperor Palpatine would be reduced below 100% health.... (savior essentially, you get the idea)
3rd idea:
Whenever an enemy Resists a debuff from an Empire ally, that enemy loses 5% Turn Meter, which can't be Resisted.
I think, either the first one (that would be really good though maybe with a cooldown reset?) or the third one, but instead of losing TM, they lose tenacity (stacking) which can't be resisted.
A very good point. 50% health isn't what it once was. RG may never Taunt under the 50% condition, and that's just not going to work.
Move your zeta because it's more of a general effect not explicitly applicable to Emperor:
Emphasize synergy with Emperor and add a little something:
I do suppose that is true. This would also create a unique synergy with let the hate flow. Seeing as that ability could cause another ally to drop below 100% Health. Or at least more easily than 50%.
This I disagree with. He already has 3 ability's in the game which all go up to omega. Changing one of them to a zeta is impractical. On top of that I was already debating whether he should have even 1 zeta. I'm definitely not going to give him 2. I also don't like the zeta idea itself. Palpatine didn't really seem like the cooperative type. Sure they're his guards but that's it. An assist really doesn't fit them to my opinion. Especially since they can already gain Retribution.
Well fine then. I'll take my ball and go home.
