Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[FollowingStars]

Maybe, but the initial cost at the very least is to much, more than a billion credits to get a simple facility running, and that's no including the equipment, training, or education.

Hmm true but I still think it would be funny if it was just research into cloning organs or arms cheaply or something that runs out of control that eventually leads to being able to clone people for like 500 credits or something ridiculous like that or its like the only thing really holding back cloning is the energy cost that eventually ties into my other idea of o'neill cylinder colony where if it orbits the sun energy isn't a concern

I will say, we should get in on the 1-H Hover tank. there was originally only 1,500 built with 1,420 being on the Deathstar 1 when it blew, if we set up a factory for them we have a powerful, cheap hovertank.(each one costs only 50,000 for this one, 45,000 for the 1-M[medium], and 40,000 for the 1-L[Light], which is cheap compared to the 42,000 for the Sabre Tank)

Also, a walker we can make that will be greatly useful is AT-ED, its a droid but apparently loved in the outer-rim.

Not to nitpick but the wiki page just says that of the first 1500 that were built 1420 on deathstar and 80 in the hammers not that there were only 1500 built

I said *Originally*

 

[Andrew1993]

The way it was written made it seem like there were only 1500 built total, at least to me but the 1hs and other variants were continued to be built at a steady but reduced rate

Something else that las can invest in that I just thought of and I think already exists in Star Wars is mantle taps you can invest in it and it might not even be possible (the force will make it possible because it's funnier that way) and you can keep it hidden until you start extracting resources

Edit: I can't find anything so I'm probably miss remembering

 

[COShepard]

I hope the governor's chair is reinforced because author may not want to write lewds Grant is gonna jump on his pelvis if nothing stops her

 

[PotatOS2]

If he wants an effective and loyal royal bodyguards he might want to get grievous approved ig-100 magnaguard

Las could have R&D waste money by making mini Zoids I mean a 6 foot tall Command Wolf would be awesome for scouting or having it as a partner. He also has that water planet so he could have them start making Hammerheads or the Hammer Kaiser and that thing is space capable.

Command Wolf

The Command Wolf (RZ-009 コマンドウルフ) is a Wolf-type of Zoid, one of over 200 mechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMY's Zoids model, toy, and media franchise. First released as a model kit for the Helic Republic faction in 1987, the Command Wolf is one of the most recognizable and reproduced Zoids in...

Hammerhead

The Hammerhead (RZ-033 ハンマーヘッド "Hammer Head") is a Hammerhead Shark-type of Zoid, and is one of over 200 species of bio-mechanical lifeforms that form the Zoid race depicted in TOMY's Zoids franchise. The Hammerhead is an aquatic Zoid, but is also capable of flight. It can be equipped with CP-...

Hammer Kaiser

The Hammer Kaiser is a rarely seen type of transport Zoid, comparable in size to the Whale King and capable of space flight. While being of a similar creature as the Hammerhead its structure hardly resembles the far smaller Zoid. The Hammer Kaiser appears as a massive hammerhead shark type Zoid...

Another thing the MC can do to spend large amounts of money doing is providing scholarships to people to go learn from any famous/expensive places in the galaxy and then come back with all the knowledge they have learned. It's expensive and will take time to see results.

Spoiler: Report on the effectives of TIE "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter over the TIE line Space Superiority Starfighter

Report on the effectives of
TIE "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter
over the
TIE line Space Superiority Starfighter

​

In light of the rebellion unorthodox tactics I will say that the TIE "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter prototype, which I will refer thereafter as the Defender, was a resounding success. Despite what the bean counters will have you believe.

The main objective of securing the target was unsuccessful and disregarding the unique spacial terrain of the nebula the combat performance was remarkable. Consider this, the Defender performed so well the rebels had to disable it since they could not out fight it.

With three hits a Y-wing was completely unrecoverable and with a direct hit two more were found in the same condition. Based on Y-wing's shield, hull, and maneuverability ratings the X-wing should be downed more often. Half the rated hull and a third of the shielding make the X-wing much more venerable to glancing shots. I see in the armament section a tractor beam is optional. This should be required.

Based on the last known figures of the X-wing and Y-wing sale figures from Incom Corporation and Koensayr Manufacturing the defenders performance would give us a significant resource advantage in fighter trading against the Rebellion. It should be noted that the TIE line Space Superiority Starfighter's low cost, hence after TIE line, is due to the ubiquity of the parts. Comparing the cost of one factory making bespoke parts for a prototype to the most ubiquitous starfighter in the galaxy is the most absurd proposition I have heard from an accountant. Still doesn't top the spending on finding and training the top pilots and putting them into cheap screaming metal death traps, but I digress.

If we assume an X-wing is 20% more effective than a TIE line fighter, a low estimate, then the minimum trading per X-Wing will be two fighters. However, based on actual combat data, X-wings cut through TIE squadrons like a thrashing rancor. The reports from the Blockade of Lothal have TIE lines trading 1 to 3, not in our favor, in some after action reports. That is roughly 180,000 credits destroyed compared to the 149,999 credits risked by Rebels'. That is even assuming they bought the X-wing new. During the Blockade of Lothal in spite of the insubordination of the Defender's pilot it had already traded evenly, destroying two X-Wings.

It should be noted going forward that the following figures are based on the TIE line as a value of performance of 1 and the X-wing is given a low estimate of 1.2. The combat figures for the Defender are based of its performance against X-wings and Y-wings. A trade of 1 to 5 in favor for the Defender with the low estimate of 1.2 for the X-wing gives the Defender a performance value of 6 when compared to a TIE line.

If we assume the performance of a TIE line as 1 we can derive some ratios to make decisions and explain the focus on the TIE line. Calculating the Value per Unit Cost, VUC, and using the TIE's number as a denominator we can create a meaningful ratio. The X-wing's ratio is 0.48. This might explain why the accountants favor the TIE line. "Look at this ratio. The TIE is a good deal" they might say ignoring the after action reports of the material and personal lost. Even in the bleakest scenarios of personal incompetence or odds the Defender is better than the TIE line in its best justification, cost effectiveness, ranging from 0.72 to 1.20 in value over a TIE line fighter.

In the scenario presented earlier the Defender traded roughly evenly and when commanded by an experienced pilot destroyed 3 Y-wings then made a gunship and 2 Y-wings flee. The objectives of the battle are superfluous details to its combat performance. It destroyed 404,997 credits in fighters and made 424,998 of damaged enemy assets flee. In both of these scenarios the Defender was a priority target in the battle and was generally outnumbered with other TIE lines providing very little support as combat escorts. Based on combat figures of the Y-wings compared to X-wings a Defender should roughly trade 1 to 5 X-wings, in our favor. A low-end estimate would be 1 to 3 based on the combat data from the Blockade of Lothal if the pilot followed orders.

When we get into Incremental Cost‑Effectiveness Ratio [ICER] under the assumption of 1 to 3 trades in our favor we get some interesting data. The ICER of a TIE line to an X-wing is 449,995, but Defender to an X-wing is 62,500. It is cheaper per performance to field Defenders against X-wings, the primary combat platform of the Rebellion or it takes a lot more credits in TIE lines than Defenders to defeat X-wings.

A small aside, the Net Present Value [NPV] is even better than the TIE by 166% with 1 to 3 trades. This soars to 566% with 1 to 5 trades. This is amazing even from a simplified battle cycle analysis. This is the metric that really matters. These are starfighters not show pieces.

The X-wing despite being used by the Rebellion as a space superiority fighter is not one. It is a multi-role fighter and if given the chance will cause severe damage to capital ships, shown time and time again. An entire squadron of TIE line fighters can be completely wiped out and would only be considered a rounding error compared to the cost of an Imperial I-Star Destroyer. A 1 to 1000 trade for the Rebels is unacceptable. At least with the Defender if a Star Destroyer goes down the fighters are not all lost too and can be used to reinforce another or new Star Destroyer's squadrons.

This is not even considering the tactical options of random patrols of small-craft rather than big cruisers that announce our system presence, the patrolling of space, or the reasons for adopting the Tarkin doctrine. The Defender would nicely address all these issues, but that is for another report.

The Naval Staff Office of Minda recommends that the Defender replaces the TIE line as the new starfighter combat platform. The Defender simply provides more combat performance per credit spent. A space superiority variant should also be highly considered.
