  1. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    True, but what I mean is that they aren't the ONLY example. Given time and incentive to do so humanity has found new ways to reverse engineer or synthetically produce many things. Hell, in WW2 we cound out how to make synthetic rubber and plastic because the natural sources were unavailable or...

  2. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Fair enough, but the fact that the Tie Phantom exists proves tbe idea is feasible. It's just a matter of casting a wide enough net in regards to potential means and methods to make it happen.

  3. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Not really, cloaking devices are common enough that people at least generally know about them. It seems more like they become increasingly expensive and difficult to make when you start pushing making them for ships below a certain size due to complex systems and power consumption. The smallest...

  4. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Yeah, they basically mean the same thing. Big Stick diplomacy is just a reference to a quote by President Theodore Roosevelt who summed up Gunboat Diplomacy as ' Speak softly and carry a big stick'.

  5. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Forgivr the incredulity, but.... you're only realizing it NOW? Sorry for the tone, but I'm pretty sure at least half of the chat has actually alluded to or outright said that. Yeah, the ISD is VERY poorly suited for controlling the Outer Rim, it's a blunt object made for the explicit purpose of...

  6. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Something to keep in mind is that the Empire has assets a modern military like ours doesn't. A frigate or cruiser sized starship is easily big enough to function as a forward base and the natives really wouldn't have the firepower to do anything about it. And that's if the Empire doesn't deploy...

  7. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    That actually IS part of the reference. Don Corleone started out by using an olive oild.business as a front. I think kt was a front for bootlegging in particular. It's been a long time simce I've seen tbe Godfather franchise though.

  8. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I will continue to espouse the versatility and usefulness of the Carrack Light Cruiser. Tons of firepower for its size, tons of automation can cut the crew down to 2 people, it has a Class 1 Hyperdrive AND it's top speed going in a straight line is faster than an X-Wing Starfighter. It also has...

  9. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    FUCKING PERFECTION.

  10. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    If you're still thinking of possible games, I have a very profitable and EEEEVIIILLLL one in mind. A Star Wars RTS based Gacha game called 'Among Shattered Stars'. The 'characters' would be ships, with 'weapons' taking the form of turbo lasers, ion cannons, missiles and other ship armaments...

  11. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I'm pretty sure the only major difference between the two ships was size, so you could really just scale the Gladiator up a bit. The hard part would be negotiating for the design of a whole new workable standard blueprint for the design with KDY.

  12. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    The Moff? He's just smart enough to realize he gets better results by giving competent subordinates a longer leash and trusting them to know how to do their job well. .......Shit, by Imperial standards he just might be material for boss of the year.

  13. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    To be fair, this fic DID originally start out in tbe NSFW section before the Author moved it here. Not sure why be started it out in NSFW beyond feeling he was expected to.

  14. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I know, right? Hell, locking down Coruscant alone would easily cause the Republic and ESPECIALLY the Empire to basically collapse. All the major power is on Coruscant in terms of political leadership, and Coruscant itself is dependent on MASSIVE and daily shipments of foodstuffs to feed its...

  15. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Personally, my 3 favorite superweapons are: 1 - The Star Forge: Any logisticians wet dream. Park it next to a star and it sucks up matter and energy to shit out infinite war materiel in weapons, droids and ships. Possession of JUST this allowed Malak to brute force the Republic Navy without any...

  16. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Every time I hear about the Shawken Device it makes my mind implode from the sheer stupidity. Why in the HELL would you want to initiate another Big Bang? The Death Star is already wildly impractical in general, but at least it ONLY blows up a single planet at a time, what's the point of the...

  17. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Screw Skyblivion, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Skywind.

  18. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    PJO isn't really my cup of tea, but I wish you all the best regardless. Do whatever you feel is best for you writing spirit.

  19. Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    "And I've also got an ADOPTED child." "Go for the eyes, mommy! They scream REALLY loud! "Thank you, sweety! Let's go out for some ice cream after work." "Yay!"
