Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[crbox]

No Twilek concubine harems

I don't know, could see the governor accidentallying himself into having a Twilek harem. Maybe some slavegirls he gets gifted by some Moff or imperial notable (or even Darna if she needs to hide some freed slaves in plain sight) that he can't really turn down/free cause that could be taken as an insult. Instead the girls who assumed they'd be pleasure slaves end up something more in line with paid maids taking care of the governor's 'estate' that he's barely ever at because its more a cash sink/tax sink/dick-measuring competition piece that he does barely more than sleep and host events at.

Would the Acclamator be worth looking into? Since the empire is soon to go kaput, Acclamator might be a good option since its a fairly old though still powerful Heavy cruiser class warship, it also has a carrier conversion that has 156 fighters while keeping its guns. Also will this be warlords era?
Edit- Venator might also be worth looking into as a fleet carrier since its older but still reasonably powerful along with the Victory I as a Battleship.

Omake: Homesteader's Dream

POV: Jimbobio, second son and 18th generation Dantooine farmer, Rolling Greens, Ugea

"Later Honey, today's the Big Day!"

Stretching his neck, Jimbobio emerged from the Bi-state memory plastic trailer that was his family's home for the past month. Between the trailers and the synthecrete structures, it was clear Ugea intended this place was set up to deal with a temporary increased influx of new migrants.

"Good luck Darling! Me and the kids will be waiting with the bags packed!"

Not that it will matter for Jimbobio much longer. After weeks of struggling through flimsiwork and interviews, he was finally ready to become a Homesteader. The program's terms were rumored to be generous, but the application was said to be equally brutal.

"Welcome, sir. How can we help you today?"

The receptionist's lackluster smile did little to deter Jimbobio's excitement. Ugea was a rare world in the galaxy. A place where the Empire was giving land away, not seizing it. He'd heard tales from others in the camp. Where other worlds were pushing farmers off their land with blaster and tank, but not here.

"I have finished my application process and expedited mandatory education course for the Homesteader Program and would like to pick out a plot and package."

Here on Ugea there was the Homesteader Program. The planet needed people, and they needed farmers in order to feed those people. The Program divided up the Imperial Lands on Ugea into plots. A Homesteader could apply to get probationary ownership of a plot in exchange for working the land and eventually paying off the cost.

"Congratulations sir. Which Homesteader's Package would you like to submit for?"

It was unfortunate that Jimbobio lost most of his wealth in the move, but he did not regret moving quickly. The Imperial military had suddenly started swarming the surface of Dantooine shortly after Alderaan blew up, accusing anyone that looked funny of being a Rebel. Some folks the Empire took away didn't come back.

"I would like to look at the Homesteader's Basic Starter Package."

His friends heard them talking about having intel on for some "secret base", and that was when Jimbobio knew it was time to leave. The Empire would turn the crust of the planet upside down if they thought Rebels were underneath it. It didn't matter the Empire owned the land or not.

"Of course, sir. Just give me a moment to pull it up the information."

So Jimbobio sold his small section of the family land on the cheap. His brother was disappointed in him, but it was his portion so his brother couldn't stop it. The price was just barely enough to get him and his wife and kids to Minda, but not enough to start a new life on its own. Thankfully the Imperials here were of a kinder breed than those who set up shop back home.

"Here you are sir. The Homesteader's Basic Starter Package entitles you to the following."

Jimbobio could only gulp at the gargantuan list in front of him. It took over an hour and help from the reception to understand all the Ugean was offering him and his family.

"This is a lot more than I was expecting. I would not have been surprised if you left me and my folks in a hole in the ground and well wishes."

Jimbobio had already chosen Vormfruit and Bloatgourd as the main crops for his farm before even seeing the list of options. Dantooine was on the Myto's Arrow, so it was to be expected that some of its produce to be available on Minda. He never could get Sphere-Fruit to grow right.

"Ugea prides itself on providing the maximum possible support for new settlers. We understand the first years are the roughest for farms starting out."

Bloatgourd could be the subsistence crop, they should be able to sustain themselves with help from the Reserve. Worst comes to worst, his fellow potential Homesteaders in the camp promised to swap crops if needed.

"Don't you worry, I'm gonna pay off the 30,000 credits in no time. Families don't survive being farmers as long as we have without a trade secret or two."

The loan may be the price of a small starship, but it was doable with the low interest rate they were offering. Vormfruit will be where the real money comes from. As much as it hurt to plan around, the Empire's search is probably going to disrupt the harvest on Dantooine for a least a few years. That will allow Jimbobio to secure his small portion of the market share.

His contact on Voss was still willing to take any Vormfruit Jimbobio could export to him after he got the farm up and running. An Imperial operation disrupting planting and harvesting had become an unfortunately understandable obstacle as of late. They had known each other for over a decade, and you don't get into the agricultural business without being willing to play the long game.

"Just make sure all the tightening of your belts doesn't stop you from enjoying what Rolling Greens have to offer. You'll only be an hour train ride away."

Jimbobio certainly won't be partaking in any restaurants or getting caught in any tourist traps, that's for sure. Still, he had heard about a hunting club that had their meetings in the city. He could regale them of the time he fended off a Kinrath all by himself.

"There is little chance of me becoming a hermit. Ugea is going to be my home from now on. It would be shame if I didn't act like it."

Leaving the building with land deed in hand was one of the proudest moments in Jimbobio's life. He hadn't felt this good since the first time his pa let him fly the family Jet-wing. That good mood only grew as he entered his family's room in the camp for the final time.

"Grab your bags everyone! Our new life awaits!"

Recently fell into a similar hole myself. The reason Endor has so much is because there's more Star Wars media set on Endor than anywhere else, courtesy of the old Ewok cartoons and movies from the 80s. Due to the Ewoks constantly gathering or farming food as the B-plot, and a rare insect or fungus with special properties often solving or being the plot item of the week in the cartoon, there's way more Endor flora and fauna to be found in Wookiepedia than anywhere else.

Also there's like a dozen different sentient species living there including multiple sentient Kaijuu races, something like seven different space stations of various affiliations, and more starship wrecks and crash sites than the rest of the galaxy combined.

...it's... it's Jim-Bob. You named this man... Jim-Bob.

I... I'm going to go find something to distract myself from this fact. Because, for some reason, the fact that you straight up named this man JIM-BOB is too much for me to handle.

Good day sah. Well done.

Yeah I spent so much time sunk into database scrolling for The List I decided things like character names did not deserve a hint of creativity for this one. So I went with the most generic farmer name I could come up with.

 

[Leeland0815]

OK, anyone with more deep knowledge of starwars can answer this question:
What rebel-aligned shipbuilding company can we lure into the system so we can more easily switch production after the emperors death? I do think the new republic stops producing ISD, no?

 

[Trivani]

That's always bothered me. Are 0BBY and 0ABY the same year or two separate years?

Click to shrink...

In technicality they're both 1 plancktime away from each other. In practicality they're different years, keyword years. It doesn't use decimals or added in how days or months to see how long before/after the battle of Yavin it has been.

 

[crbox]

I do think the new republic stops producing ISD, no?

Click to shrink...

ISD yes, SD no. The republic eventually gets its own variants of Star Destroyer. Though we're not really located in an area where switching (or even looking like we would) would be a smart idea for some time. Being basically perfectly position to just fall into one of the major Imperial Remnant factions even if I can't quite remember which off top of my head.

As for your question

What rebel-aligned shipbuilding company can we lure into the system so we can more easily switch production after the emperors death?

Click to shrink...

Only ones off top of my head are Incom, Mon Calamari and Sullust. Beyond that the 'Rebels' will eventually incorporate most/all of the major Core shipbuilding companies back into themselves as the New Republic rises to dominance.
