Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[GrimmKenway8646]

For every Guild merchant sent from the Myto Sector carried news of this land, and was paid by the Sector for immigrants they freely shipped back.

For the Moff would have no resource untapped.

No wonder we have so many omakes of Myto becoming an Imperial bastion post-Endor. Las just has that dawg in him. Poor ISC old guard tho, they just wanted to relax and not do their job but nah more budget for you!

 

[The Returned]

This shit fought me harder than a child fighting the urge to yell slurs in a live chat. I don't know why, because this shit is straight ass, but it took way too much time and effort to scrounge this garbage up. I feel like if I try to rewrite or revise a single thing here I'll throw up, so Imma toss it out here.

Far be it from me to point out you created your own Sector in..... Star Wars..You as the Op are allowed stories/omakes about what happens inside your sector. ( Totally....Rascist bit about Twileks(Black Wemon) in the Sectors of the DMV ....You dont need to make everything about the Myos sector "Totally Equality Greatness!!" Youve already established it as reasonable government.....and unfortunately easiest stories about how a government works is how it conducts war........Start Killing MoFos\Other governments.. Op. Im so Drunk right now. Im sry. Ive checked this 3 times. MODS punish me!!!

 

[RandomDragon]

oh shit...this is going to turn the myto sector into a damn powerhouse if nothing is done soon enough, and the hyper-com/holo-com trick only works *ONCE*.

this is going to be a brutal when the govener starts putting defense stations across the sector, even if its a basic one with a shipyard attached.

 

[Wratus]

A planet filled with Coaxium... congratulations Moff Mola you just gained the personal attention at least for a little while of the Emperor and Lord Vader, for that is a super strategic resource that must be in the hands of the Empire and no one else can be allowed to have majority control of it... only thing that could make it "worse" is if you where to find Kyber Crystals, Phrik and Doonium.

 

[OrderedOrb]

I'm sorry, did that guy on the Myto char just say they found a huge COAXIUM vein!? That's the equivalent to finding a multi mile vein of the purest and most valuable rare earth metals to us, what a find. That's the kind of stuff used for the creation of hyperfuel and hyperdrives. It is the SINGLE most valuable thing in the setting.

 

[AHHGKS]

tftc!

 

[XelianEmperor]

Kinda want more social media stuff and maybe star wars in world memes

 

[oscar e Sampedro Lopez]

Thanks for the chapter Great story as always.
Gold rush season!

 

[Phylonemios]

The Myto sector gonna end up as a combination of colonial-time USA (expanding into inexplored lands) and Switzerland for being fuck-off rich by good governing decisions !

Thank you for writing !

How much money
You don't have to say but for fun
How much money did it cost to buy this account
Because.. that number is way to "neat" and low to not be worth at least a large capital city apartment
Maybe a large house in nature with 4-7 years of maintenance both home and body

Companies and colonizers alike salivated at the untouched land, the ripe resources, the potential for profit sitting right there

Click to shrink...

because this shit is straight ass,

Click to shrink...

Nah
If it's ass then it's the ass of a Pixar MILF(..I think? Aro-ace that kinda metaphor is not easy for me)
Cause that? The "pull people in, get more resources used by people, show off the stuff to more people repeat" is the main draw of the entire story
That is the loop that made ME at least stay
Get people
Oh fuck a lot of People
Figure out where people go
Put them there better than the others do
Need more people
It's like the signifier of a new "major" arc is the large amount of immigrants coming being noted

What you're saying is that someone is about to cosplay the USA discovering a small country that has rich oil fields?

 

[Watching]

The ISC simply didn't have enough people in the region. So, using their newly inflated budget, they took to advertising themselves. Posters, holonet ads, commercial breaks in popular dramas, they did it all.

Explore the galaxy! Find hidden treasures! Serve the Empire!

The Director thought it enough.

"If we spend all our money on these shitty ads, then we won't have the money to do our jobs, and we can slack off again!"

Poor guy accidentally built starfleet.

 

[Yacov]

In the void of space before me sat the Arbiter-II, newly built to celebrate the opening of the new Belladoon shipyards. In every way an upgrade from the original. Not just a kitbash of other Imperial ships stitched together in an emergency, this was purpose built.

Click to shrink...

The sheer convenience of having a purpose built ship is worth the redesign in terms of maintenance and production, even if the improvements end up minimal.

The party had started that way, but I deployed an age old method of getting rid of unwanted guests.

Being boring!

For me, that meant yapping about political/economic events I studied as part of the job in excruciating detail. These people are all business owners and industrialists. If I talked taxes or trade they'd be salivating for even the tiniest bit of insider info.

But a day by day breakdown of the economic consequences of the blockade of Naboo? Perfect.

Click to shrink...

Las being the most boring Moff is repelling hangers ons more effectively than being a Dark Side user. Just ask Vader how many airheads walked up and began spouting their supposed importance at him.

The Auditors' very public arrests were getting to people, and I'd had no less than a dozen different magnates show me their companies quarterly reports as though to flaunt how compliant their companies were with the various anti-corruption and pro-labor laws I'd put in place.

The Auditors are only there to arrest Imperial officials of high standing, not businessmen, but I guess their reputation is really up there.

To be fair, most tools of Imperial law enforcement tend to be a bit… indiscriminate when choosing targets and accepting collateral damage. Probably see it as not taking chances.

"It seems to have become something of a culture in the region. Few of the contractors can build anything up to the Generals standards, which many have said very rude things about."

Click to shrink...

I mean when you are dealing with having a very low population sector with lots of money, going for maximum quality just makes a bit of sense.

Sure, on occasion they found systems in use by pirates or cartels, but the MRX-BR ships they were using had been upgraded. Faster engines, stealthier systems, and more, the MRX-BR could slip in and out of a system unseen by the shoddy sensors of pirate scrap-heaps.

Click to shrink...

This is probably going to do more to cut down on piracy than any singular military operation. There is an entire dark community in every sector devoted to the criminal underworld. Finding and going after these support networks is going to hamstring the pirates and smuggler groups in Myto. It would also cripple the local Rebel Alliance if you found any of their safe worlds with this method.

Wow, I'd love a beach house on that coast. I've got three on Dubrillion and they've started to get boring, when will the colonization phase start?

Click to shrink...

These people are some of the most important colonists. Mainly because companies are less likely to invest in the infrastructure beyond what's needed to extract the resources. These rich dodidles? They are going to buy an estate and bring the disposable income necessary to found a community.

I am shaking. Retiring early! Was running deep thermal scans on a new rock—forgot what our team even named the planet, who cares! Board lit up like a supernova. Look at the spectrograph. That is a pure, hyper-dense vein of raw coaxium running straight through the crust. We just hit the jackpot!

Click to shrink...

For reference, 100 kilograms of refined coaxium is worth around 60 million credits. This is the stuff that gets mined in Kessel.

 

[AdrianXIV]

Idea: What if Las's one of sciencists did reverse of what "normal mad sciencists" do (turning non-combat droids into assassins), and invented "Universal Assistance Droid" based on chassis of BX Commando Droid?

Like, imagine something that looks like "white-painted BX" making someone a dinner or babysitting kids. (For obvious reasons they would lack any kind of "combat protocols" outside of "non-lethal self-defense")

 

[Wratus]

Hmmm well since he has found Coaxium wouldn't it be funny if suddenly he where to gain a summons to Coruscant to stand before the Emperor in order to personally report about the yield of the vein that has been found, and with it comes a budget increase with the explicit instructions to build up Imperial mining and refinery operations, and a Imperial Naval base/headquarters on the planet to insure that it serves the Empire first in foremost.

Of course this would most likely be an inevitable situation if he where to also find a planet with either Kyber Crystals or Doonium as they are critical resources for the Death Star, and with Doonium also for the construction of Star Destroyers so if he where to find that a lot of the neighbouring Moffs would start to get som very nervous sweats as any further sabotage would actually have major consequences as the Emperor would deem the Myto-sector as critical for his plans.

 

[AdrianXIV]

Btw about Emperor, what if reason for "holonet blackout" was a test whenever Myto Sector is viable target for "Operation: Cinder".

 

[TheEldritchKnight]

Operation Cinder is not part of this AU so it is not going to happen.

Description:

The Thiltisians are a species of sentient reptilians located on the sunny grassland world of Sunwelp. Their civilization has recently progressed to the Industrial technology level with an emphasis on sustainability and managed growth. Thiltisians at a glance can be described as pious, generous, and open to discussion.

Biology and appearance:

Thiltisians are slightly above the galactic average in height and have reflective silver scales covering their body. This scales are theorized that their ancestors used them as a defense mechanism or a way to trap heat in their dens. An extra layer of eyelids helps deal with the worst of the reflected brightness. These days keeping one's scales shiny and unmarked is a sign of prestige and wealth.

One of the most prominent features of Thiltisians is the heavily diurnal nature. Through a combination of their cold bloodedness, their poor night sight, and other biological factors, Thiltisians struggle immensely operating at night. Thiltisians settlements are therefore kept intensely well lit with fire, gaslight, and then electricity. This is especially done at night in order to make the ordeal bearable for those forced to work past daylight. Light pollution is so heavy that constellations are difficult to identify unless far away from a settlement.

Society and culture:

Thiltisian Government

The Thiltisians of Sunwelp is organized into a strict Timocracy. Issues in politics are resolved by a logocratic method of whoever can submit the most compelling written proposal is approved and implemented by the Assembly of Honor. Participation in Sunwelp's government is excluded to only those who are the most Honorable. The most elevated Thiltisians are allowed into the Assembly of Honor, the main legislative body. Assemblies of Petty Honor are held in each province to handle local issues and staffed by those of comparatively lesser Honor.

Sunwelp's government is also a confessional state that recognizes The Great Pursuit of Daylight as the state enforced and funded religion. Large amounts of government revenue are spent on building and maintaining Solar Temples of The Great Pursuit of Daylight. Having the recognition and approval of the relevant Solar Temples is a virtual requirement for obtaining and remaining in office.

Thiltisian Honor

Honor is defined by Thiltisians as the ability to provide for the community, with the Solar Temples as the main arbitrator. This includes generous donations to interest groups which can influence debates in the Assemblies. A patronized Thiltisian will generally not write a counter-proposal against the proposal of their patron. This tradition of gift giving also applies to political positions as well with high ranking officials and members of the clergy required by tradition to host lavish events and rituals in order to maintain their standing.

Naturally this definition of Honor excludes a vast majority of the poorer classes on Sunwelp leading to a great degree of stratification in Thiltisian society. Not to the point of a caste system yet, but upward social mobility is fairly limited. The most Honor the vast majority of Thiltisians can hope for is to make their layperson votive offerings to their local Solar Shrine and potentially be made a lesser initiate. Those the Solar Temples deem Dishonorable are denied entry to land owned by the Solar Temples and are condemned to the dark corners of Sunwelp. One example of these dark corners the Dishonorable are exiled to is the Scalding Wastes, an area of the planet where rainfall can be absent for over half the year and there is near-boiling rain for the other half.

Thiltisian Religious Property and Corvée Law

As a result of the dominance of The Great Pursuit of Daylight, a vast majority of land both urban and rural in any given area is owned by the local Solar Temples. This land is then ritualistically bequeathed to an individual for the duration of their life or if they are labeled Dishonorable. The land is consecrated by the clergy for the purpose it bequeathed for such as a farm, factory, etc. After death or Dishonor, the land is returned to the Solar Temple's control to be purified and then lent out again at their discretion. Provincial borders are more defined by the lands of a collection of historically allied Solar Temples than any geographical boundary.

Every Honorable Thiltisian is expected to perform their three weeks of religiously mandated corvée labor on unbequeathed Solar Temple land. This obligation was originally meant provide a religious militia to defend holy sites alongside dedicated temple guards. However the long period of peace on Sunwelp has turned the duty to more productive purposes. High class Thiltisians will spend time polishing, cleaning, and politicking in the luxuries Grand Solar Temples made entirely of glass and mirrored surfaces. Middle class Thiltisians will maintain the solar panels and other technical systems needed to keep the Solar Temples functioning. While the vast majority of Thiltisians will be working in the Temple fields or workshops making the products necessary to sustain the clergy and conduct the Solar Temples' rituals and charitable activities.

Thiltisian Technological Focus

Thiltisian technology is heavily focused on light and solar energy. Temples and major buildings are lined with mirrors, windows, and solar panels. Architecture is to emphasize natural and artificial light being able to shined in every corner of the structure. If most other sentients were to spent a day in a Thiltisian city, they would risk eye damage without protection due to the excessive brightness. This is partly due to Thiltisians' poor night sight making dark rooms hazardous and unappealing.

The emphasis on solar power has left Sunwelp relatively pristine in terms of environment despite the technological advances of the Thiltisians. Thiltisian emphasis on purity and cleanliness have kept the worst effects of mining operations and pollution at bay. However only having the ability to generate power about 50% of the time and an intense reluctance to work night shifts have resulted in slow progress in further technological and industrial development.

——

Another species to potentially populate one of those 6500 "uninhabited" systems in the Myto Sector currently being explored. The theme I went with the Thiltisians is "The Calcification of Light". Order and brightness turned up to eleven, even to the point of detriment. Things look and sound good on the surface, but time and complacency have taken their toll underneath. These folks are in for some upheaval once they start interacting with the rest of the galaxy. Especially since Thiltisian settlements and cities stand out like giant glowing beacons that can be seen from orbit once a ship enters the system.
