[SwaffleWaffle]

or is 10tons of bbq a day the payroll? lol

Mugwuffin is really light for her size though. I think her food intake might partially go into fueling her force abilities.

If that's the case, then her food should really be a work expense, and she should get a salary outside of that.

Seeing her get a fitness trainer and go through a training montage would be funny though.


Speaking of salary, I wonder when las will give himself a pay-raise, or when the governors under him will ask for one, and maybe time off / vacation days.

Perhaps instead of permanent pay-raises, he'll instead give himself and others Bonuses based on performance?

All is going according to keikaku :}

The slavers are being removed or hunted down, the replacements are his appointed candidates to align those worlds to his tune, and he curbs the renewal of corruption as they are of like mind to him.

Now he needs to start preparing, to fortify the Oversector for the coming storms that threaten the peace and his safety until retirement.



We still got a bit before the end times (of the Empire), I just worry that his advancements on land warfare will start to take traction to the wider galaxy.

A good portion of his forces are now LECA pilots, that now makes most indoor battles look like a squad of AT-STs stormed the building. That, and the more well off and veteran members of the Guild are sporting modified Civilian variants, and will inevitably start showing off to distant sectors in time. Not only that, we can expect the Mandolorians flocking their to legalize their beskar, will get their hands on them and substitute them for a basilisk war droid, since those are kinda illegal now.

Can you imagine how fucked the rebels will be on Endor, if instead of a bike chase, they ran into a pair of high-speed variants in the woods? Or how Hoth would just be whole squads of them boosting across the snow in the assault?

Luke might need to put in more work with his lightsaber or he's probably gonna steal one for himself.

Are the former slavers becoming slaves, or did I misinterpret that? Just with the language about how the former slaving governors are becoming slaves in all but name? The line below also suggests this as well, considering most of them are spending life in prison.

slavery is only permitted for non-sentient aliens, and prisoners

I do not know if this was intentional by the author or by Las, but it does seem ironic.

The C2W (or Concerned Citizen's Weapon) is a recent production from the Guild of Commerce, Production, and Protection in the Myto sector. Marketed as a personal defense weapon for the loyal Imperial urbanite, this blaster never found much success outside this niche. This underwhelming pistol nevertheless garnered a modest following in Imperial civilians in cities across the sector.

Design

"When someone pulls out a C2W it is a threat. A threat to bring in every seccer in a five block radius down on our heads." - Smuggler on the detriments of using a C2W for criminal activity.

The C2W is considered a midway point between a hold-out blaster and a blaster pistol. This middle ground came at the cost of lower range, power, and fewer shots compared to a standard blaster pistol. The urban and confined environments the blaster was designed for was hoped to mitigate the range issue. This blaster was mainly intended to defend the user from low level criminals or packs of stray animals.

Light and decently compact. Its size and weight can make it easier to carry and not get caught on clothes or other obstructions when hastily drawn from a holster or a hand bag. Although definitely not to the degree of say a blaster modified for a gunslinger. The worst one is going to get is something caught on the partial trigger guard, but it is fairly easy to shake loose.

The C2W is fairly stable with a grip that is well-fitted and comfortable for the average sentient. A smooth trigger and the low power of each shot allow for low recoil despite the short barrel of the blaster. These decisions did little to improve the range of the blaster which remained below the standard for a blaster pistol.

The C2W's shape was designed to intimidate the ignorant and the inexperienced. It is also purposely designed to make significant noise when fired to frighten the user's attackers be they sentient or non-sentient. This makes the C2W unsuitable for more subtle occupations that would want to avoid drawing attention. However if one actually wants to notify all local law enforcement in several blocks that a blaster has been fired and they should head in that direction, then the C2W is certainly going to do a good job of informing them.

Sales

"Great. Another Cry To Win rookie thinking their hot stuff." - Veteran Guild Member mocking a rookie trying to register with a C2W.

Once the first batch of C2Ws hit the market, it made a small, but noticeable splash. Citizens worried about the rising pirate activity resulted in a minor surge of orders in the first few weeks after release. The low power of the blaster made it easier to obtain a license than most other blaster pistols while also not being as restricted as hold-out blasters. Initial reports were rosy and there were talks of expanding production.

Despite a strong showing in the beginning, orders began to drop off after the first few months of good news. While the C2W did well enough among civilians inside of cities, it often faltered in other areas. Rural populations preferred applying for longer range hunting blasters or just bought blasters without a license. The Imperial Military and PDFs considered the blaster a silly toy for ignorant civilians. The same held true among private mercenaries such as the Guild who had access to far better options and would often mock rookies who showed up with one. Criminals and Rebels thought the C2W was a death sentence if they ever had to fire it, so the Underworld never made much effort to acquire them.

Talks of expanding production lines stalled and the C2W was designated a low priority product by the Guild. However sales of the blaster never truly stopped and the weapon retains a following among the civilian blaster community. These days the C2W remains on the shelves of weapon stores as an option for frightened civilians seeking something to make them feel safe. The C2W will never win much glory on a battlefield, but it does its job of being a reassurance to civilians and giving them a bit of protection against muggers and feral animals.

Meet the C2W, a blaster interesting due to its circumstances as much as its design. A civilian handgun made in the during the Galactic Civil War for Imperial civilian populations that are trusted enough to be armed. The Empire as a general rule does not want to arm a civilian population. Just one more example of why the Minda system and the Myto sector as a whole is a strange place.

For an image I was going to use something like a standard Glock, but then I saw the S333 Thunderstruck double barrel magnum and fell in the love with the goofy design. So just imagine that, but a bit larger, with one barrel instead of two, a pistol instead of a revolver, and the chamber being a power pack. A funny situation where the Star Wars version is saner than the real life inspiration.
