Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Yukon Heavy]

Guys, hear me out: what if Mugwuffin sees Seventh, takes pity on his shoddy ass force training, and decides to take him as an apprentice?

Great way to get a force user under Las' influence, while also giving him no end of headaches from the evil inquisitor his space cat just adopted.

As he passed the vehicle lab, he could see the barebones structures of a variety of speeder designs. As he turned away, out of the corner of his eye he caught a small, red rubber ball sitting in a durasteel engine shell.

Just sitting there.

Menacingly.

I love the idea that the MENACING rubber ball is basically the equivalent of Stan Lee appearance in marvel .

 

[Arrowthorne]

Oh God, dose this mean Vader might show up now?

What are the chances that MCs mom, Thrawn, and Vader all show up for a 'visit' all at once?

That said Vader might like the R&D team, can see him getting along well with them.

Also love the fact that the Rubber Balls is becoming more than just a meme or recurring joke, can't wait for a Rubber Ball to blow up the Death Star.

 

[RoyalOlive]

No way, it's clearly Marka Ragnos. He was red hence why the ball is.

 

[Psychic_Duck]

It's not the Vong the Star Wars Galaxy should worry about, it's the "Rubber Ball" invaders they should fear, I wouldn't be surprised if one just rolls out in front of Palpatine while he's walking and trips him off into a pit or something, the perfect assassination, none shall stop their conquest of the galaxy.

Honestly depending on date anyone want to bet that his mom will be on death star and we'll we will never see her.

Funny part is, both Wilhuff Tarkin's parents are dead by 0BBY and a lot of his extended family before that. Some even directly or indirectly by Wilhuff's own actions. Since Wilhuff doesn't have kids, there might not be another Tarkin left to replace him as the Tarkin Clan Patriarch.

If Mola is not there when Wilhuff gets blown up, she might be the highest ranking Imperial left on Eriadu. The commandant in charge of the academy is someone most likely left behind after all. Depending on how many of his cronies Wilhuff decides to take to his "crowning achievement" Eriadu is going to be scrambling from this decapitation. The main Tarkin Clan line wiped out and whatever distant branch family proven unfit to lead.

That might leave mother dearest far too busy to even message her son. Let alone visit Minda to deliver her verdict.

Sith ghost of Darth Nox for Normal population he looks like rubber RED ball.

God I would love that XD. Nox is the dark side path for sith inquisitors in SWTOR for those that don't know. She's Sarcastic, witty, sassy, funny in damn near every conversation, even with Sith Lords and Darths. And that's only when she was an apprentice, later on she's all of those things as well as dismissive to the Sith Emperor of all people

"Why…do you wear a helmet, Governor?"

"An attempt on muh life has left me scarred, Also I'm a ter-rible workaholic, I'll take an-y excuse to fit more into muh day. Plz halp"

Has anyone else started hearing Jack McBrayer when the governor talks or is it just me?

 

[Darik29]

So uh, question. Given his desire to toss money away, has he considered purchasing a Golan defense station?

They are the most infamous Imperial defensive station in existence, built and designed to defend important worlds and key infrastructure from anything up to a full on pirate armada. They are bigger and more heavily armed than ISD's even, the larger ones anyway.

I can't imagine he'd be able to get a Golan 3, but a Golan 1 seems like a possibility.

Just a thought! I may or may not have been addicted to Empire at War way back when and loved playing defense battles with a max level star fortress against enemy fleets.

 

[paxus22]

may be better for MC to design/build his own defence station that way attracts less attention and uses even more money up. muahahaha

 

[RandomDragon]

...Wait, hold on.
Is there a Force Ghost hanging around the Governor?

Click to shrink...

might actually be the dad now that i think about it...could be hilarious that the force is using him to menace anyone messing with its new-found chew/play-toy.

and he is so intresting! new ideas, new innovations, new ways to stir the pot while trying to not look like he is not stirring?

lets not forget new funny tactics and abilities going on...sensible? Amusing. Common sense? Out of this galaxy! Try for self-sabotage? Not on this Entity/energy fields watch!

 

[Morkail]

Well that could go either way, the single line about the dark side being less "angry" in his presence could be important or mean nothing. More interesting if the seventh brother leaves the system with some tech goodies like a decent set of power armor and some James bond like toy, he might have other inquisitors show up like kids looking for candy. And if the anger just fades out of them In his presence they would be much less likely to try and kill him.

So…. After the empires fall he might end up running a half way house for former inquisitors! Or this all might be my imagination running wild. We haven't even reached the start of the first movie yet.

Thanks for the chapter.

Him having to thread the needle of building up his territory to an "acceptable level" for his mother and also not get big enough he gets squashed by any of the larger organizations (criminal or otherwise) in the area is honestly one of the best parts of this whole story. TYFTC
