    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I can see Palpatine being genuinely impressed with the Seventh Brother's success here. It could be his one bright spot in the fury of the Death Star being destroyed. I can also see him investing in a task force of mech troopers. While Palp may have purposely built the Empire to be inefficient...

    Vader is not only cheaper, but also more thorough in devastating the area, to ensure maximum annihilation of threats.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    If there is one good thing about the new canon, it's that Palpatine purposely designed the Empire to violently explode once he dies. It fits his personality and goals more then leaving a semi-stable legacy. If he can't have the galaxy, no one can.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    My own headcanon is Hyperspace ramming requires you to be close enough to the target that they could easily disable your engines in the time it takes to charge the Hyperdrive, and that for it to be even mildly effective you need a capital ship sized vessel. Example, the Battle of Yavin in the...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    So now he rules over two systems. This feels like CK2 where you eat up neighbouring counties until you claim the Dukedom, then Kingdom before forming your own Empire.

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    That's just the sign of a great writer. Thinking ahead without even realising it. I would love to see a sequel to this, even if it's just short vignettes of important or fun scenes. Otherwise I'll be at work constantly thinking what if? Damn you, you've cursed me with post-story depression. :p

    The Architect of Freedom (Tau SI)

    Honestly mind control is cringe. Better to take your supporters and go independent like Farsight. Be the shining beacon on the hill that converts the other Tau be showing them there is a better way. Oh well. It'll still be interesting to see where this goes.

    Makes sense. For most of human history pirate's weren't seen as people.

    Turns out the workers she bribed reported her, and now her brother has the upper hand in teasing materials.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    For MAC'S the best use would be ground based defence guns, like the one at the end of Reach. On the ground they have access to significantly more power than ship mounted ones, meaning they can be smaller while retaining the stronger impact, plus big hostile ships closer to a planet's atmosphere...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    As someone who works for a local council's rates department, most people who overpay their rates want them refunded now, not discounted from the next year. I don't doubt that would extend to other types of taxes.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I could see the rebels deciding to keep their heads down in the sector, using the place purely as a logistic hub for neighbouring regions, lest they risk the ISB coming down on their head. Plus with only 2 years until the Empire explodes the odds of the ISB investigating for rebels is very low...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I hope he eventually goes independent. Because the Empire is fucking horrible. Not just morally, but because it's culture promotes and glorifies incompetence and inefficiency. Then again, fascism never is a effect form of governance. Just look at the Nazis.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I went my entire school life with this one classmate, never realising they were Muslim until in year 10 because to them religion was personal thing, not something to shove in people's faces. Which is probably the best way to handle it in fiction. For me, I hate the lack of timeskips. A isekai...

    I have now experienced each of my Avatars ideas on getting better. Therapy and hugs is the winning combo. Car crash just costs me money.
