    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I wonder if this is going to result in the local ISB sending an investigation team? An assassination plot is something the local government might be able to keep in house, death threats are not that uncommon for an Imperial governor. However when said plot wounds the governor to the point that...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Personally I think it was executed as more a conventional criminal plot than a Rebel one. Sabotaging an R&D project to kill an up and coming governor seems like a gig the criminal underworld would post. Funnily for all the contacts Las has (sometimes unintentionally) cultivated in the Minda...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Against a "normal" rebel cell or pirates? I can see mecha and exos being effective. These groups tend to focus on hit and run tactics with light infantry and vehicles. Two things not noted as having much in the way of armor penetration. The most these Armors would have to worry about are a few...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    It really depends on how fast you want the Lucherhulk to move. For campaigning in the Clone Wars, the Confederacy's configuration is probably what worked. Large portions dedicated to the hyperdrive and engines. Maintenance for battle droids and Vulture Droids probably ate up a lot of space...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I wonder what Las is going to call this "bootleg" knock off TIE fighter? I can see him not using TIE in the name in order to avoid corpo death squads, but still being close enough that there is some name recognition. Like a guy selling DVDs with slightly changed titles out of a van. The DIE...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Thrawn: I shall build a stronger TIE fighter that will be the future of fighter warfare and crush the Rebellion when the Empire adopts it en masse. Las: I shall build a stronger TIE fighter because pilots aren't easy to come by this far out in the boonies. Eh keep it for the local sub sector...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Various suggestions, feel free to cherry pick if you want any: This species is called the Bleats in galactic standard. The Bleats get their name from the loud and obnoxious bleating noise they make when driven to distress and hopelessness in order to warn the rest of their community of danger...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Las just getting an excuse to build a bigger and bigger home fleet for Minda. If admiral Watsi keeps neglecting the western portions of his assigned space, Las might have to order his fleet to conduct patrols instead. At the very least to get some preemptive warning for when the next raid will...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    It is funny to consider that Las might be in charge of more people than his mom at this point. He's certainly in charge of more square territory than Commandant Mola. Commandants in Star Wars are generally put in charge of one installation or military force. Think on the scale of a prison camp...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    To be fair, his family is politically aligned with the Tarkins. Their patriarch's response to successful Imperials generally goes like: Tarkin: "Wow that is a really successful project." Inventor and/or Imperial Bureaucrat: "Why thanks for the compli-" BLAM! Tarkin: "My successful project.”

    “Why did they report me?” “They contacted the planet’s revenue service wanting to know if reporting would make the bribe money tax deductible.”

    She will come to the exact wrong conclusion. Or the most hilarious one.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Well let's hope Las has a gentler policy for those native primitives on Minda 2 than most Imperials. The Empire and native primitives meeting generally ends badly for the primitives. Plus it gives the Rebels an excuse to move to start rabble rousing in the system by training the primitives to be...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Minda is going to have a much larger pool of military manpower than what the local Moff thinks. I imagine most Moffs only look at the number of people funneled from the Imperial Academy pipeline of Stormtroopers and Navy personnel as that is what affects their bottom line. Dismissing any other...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    This battle just solidified the planet as loyal to Las. The Empire is just the faction he is belongs to.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Ah yes, oversucceeding due to a parent's imagined expectations. A tale as old as time itself. I wonder what Mola's actual bar for success would be? Republic Senators, Trade Federation members, Imperial Governors: "It is? You mean we can't just use more "citizens"/droids/slaves?" So like...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    There is a way I can see a Rebel attack happening. The initial moderates keep their heads down and build up supplies and maybe some vehicles in storage. The station gets used as a supply hub for other Rebel activities only in other sectors to not avoid drawing attention to the covert supply...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Two thousand isn't that many clones back in the Republic days, but from all the abuse and neglect that might be a good portion of them. A solid martial core for the planet. Introducing democratic processes to the planetary government is probably going to raise some eyebrows on both sides of the...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    You know this actually makes the city pretty defensible from raids. Both the tallest buildings by a margin are solidly in Imperial hands means any enemy land forces are going to be in Imperial sight lines whenever they're not in a building. In other words the Imperials have the high ground...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    With some good docking and maintenance facilities, I can see Minda becoming a decent small trade port. Nothing to challenge the big players or attract a Moff’s attention. Just a place for one ship captains to park their freighters and get some patchwork and R&R. Given that Las is looking to...
