Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[noblej7]

Hmmm come to think about it, after the Battle of Endor has been concluded and all the Imperial assets are in total disarray because of the loyalist who will follow Operation: Cinder to the letter, the opportunists who will make use of it in order to get rid of rivals and the first Warlords who will completely ignore it in order to outright seize power for themselves, Moff Las Mola will have a window of opportunity to gain military assets for the Myto sector in the form of the fleets and armies not attached to Sector commands.

Heck thanks to Vader having incorporated parts of the Myto fleets into Death Squadron he can gain the remnants of said squadron if he's lucky and perhaps other fleets that survived Endor that flees with the Death Squadron... to bad that he won't gain the Executor unless some of the Whirlwind TiE's are flying escort for it during the battle so they intercept the A-wing that canonically crashes into it's command bridge... after all when the battle is over and the Imperial Forces wants to regroup there are a bunch of Arbiter-class cruisers with Myto Sector crews that are going to most likely form a block that heavily suggests for the Squadron to head for the Myto sector, seeing as the sector has all the needed infrastructure needed for resupply and anchorage it wouldn't be seen as bad idea.

Imagine the future negotiations for the establishment of the Pentastar Allignment with Moff Las Mola having Death Squadron at his command?

Operation Cinder was a Disney only thing. Warlord era dragged out for several years in legends because the emperor purposely kept no proper lines of succession so everything would fall apart without him holding them together, his seeds of sith like backstabbing, treachery, and ambition nurturing in high command lead to the Grand moffs and Moffs fracturing, the new Republic/rebellion survived rhis period at least in half part because the imperials spent themselves in infighting. The imperial Council on Corusant kinda held a weak but larger than the rest remnant. But it fell apart as well. Not that the republic wasn't happy to add fuel to the fire. Ironically Kaine / Penta star alignment and the region with the myto sector didn't bother with fighting for top dog of the Galaxy and went isolationist over Wasting itself fighting the others. Secured it's industry and patrolled its borders and eventually all the imperial remnants rolled into them before the Vuzong Vong invasion if i recall right.
I'm frankly hoping Cinder doesn't happen. Since it's kind of unneeded and just pointlessly evil stupid, when he'd already made sure all the Moffs would be tearing the empire apart all on their own without him around.

The Force: Wanna bet?

Surprised they don't have any use for LECA designs. Otherwise neat!

I'm not quite tuned in to their Legends lore but maybe they're more into performing deep strikes rather than outright sieges which the LECA would be used for.

Or their masers could take out the LECAs easily?
*shrug*

If the Executor survives it could lead to the funniest thing imaginable where Las sends Luke all of Darth Vaders personal effects as his next of Kin. Would be a funny as hell WTF for everyone as how in the hell did Las know Vader was Luke's dad?!

That'd be really funny. Imagine if the MC ensured that the accompanying letter also named Leia as potential inheritor of Vader's stuff.

tftc!

Omake: Vader may not approve of the punchlines, but Anakin does

"Master Skywalker?" a person who looked far too official asked. Luke did not need the force to see that this was going to be a headache. Half the time, he understood Han's preference for a blaster. While shooting your problems was not always the best solution, there was a certain catharsis too it. That, and the imperial remnants somehow still had a large manufacturing base.

"Yes, who are you and why are you here?" Luke asked, silently hoping that this would not cause another headache.

"I am an envoy of Moff Mola. To the purpose, you and Miss Organa or, I apologize, Mrs. Solo, are the only known heirs of Darth Vader. As such, we have an executor-class star destroyer, 6 Tie defender squadrons, 24 Tie interceptor squadrons, 12 Tie advance squadrons, 24 Tie fighter Squadrons, 24 Tie bomber squadrons and associated support staff droids, fuel and monies and personal effects" the man said. Luke blinked.

"Please tell me Han put you up to this?" Luke asked.

"I assume you refer to Captain Solo? Anyways, you being Vader's son was one of the worst kept secrets in the Imperial Navy. He let you blow up the death star. He only seriously started hunting the Rebels once he realized you were there, to the point where he ordered more Imperial probe droids in one swoop than the prior ten years combined.

"WAIT WHAT!?" Han exclaimed.

"Wait, is that why..." Wedge asked.

"Wait a minute, was Endor really just a bad reunion for you?" Mothma asked.

"....I did not even know he was my dad until cloud city," Luke said, wondering why this mattered now. Vader was dead, and they had somehow acquired a large amount of Imperial munitions. Luke was beginning to spiral a bit, so Mothma tried to redirect with humor.

"You know, in hind sight that makes a lot of sense. It would explain why the intelligence reports stated he liked all of his food luke-warm," Mothma added, trying to bring some levity to the situation.

"That would also explain the amount of time you choked asking girls out," Wedge added, feeling the need to needle Luke a bit.

"That was one of the most shocking moments of my life, and I lost my hand learning that. I am happy it amuses you," Luke tersely replied, acting a bit like his father.

"Don't tell me, you got our birthday gifts at the Darkside Mall?" Han added. No one thought that one was funny, so Luke ignored it along with everyone else.

"Ok, but this seems odd. Vader had known of me at least since Yavin. Why is an admittedly successful Moth just giving literal tons of Imperial hardware to his presumable enemies?" Luke asked the obvious question, trying to bring the conversation back to normal. Even with Han's fumble though, the peanut gallery was not letting this one go.

"Eh, who cares? I suspected Luke, but Leah was kind of shocking. I guess he was looking in Al-der-an places," Wedge jibed.

"Someone slap him," Leah said, slightly sore over her home planet being destroyed. Han obliged her, and Wedge let out a brief "OW!".

"I do kind of wonder what you two got him for his birthday. I bet he could sense your presents," Mothma wyrly added.

"It would also explain why Leah likes her toast on the darker side," Han commented. Leah and Luke just looked at each other. They had enough of this. Though they appreciated what their friends were trying to do, they wanted this conversation to end.

"I guess we'll just wait for Intel to analyze it?" Luke offered.

"No, we are just going to randomly accept tons of gifts without looking it over. Of course intel will analyze it" Wedge commented, and then the conversation went back to something approaching normal.

I just imagine little green troll in spirit form next to Anakins, saying "Good job, you did, next gifts when?" As he and Anakin both tries to hold laughing in while watching it.

Poor Las might end up stuck in his seat of power as the head of a Chiss puppet state.
On another note, it's kinda weird seeing the Chiss ascendancy being the ones with inferior metallurgy tech compared to their imperial neighbors since I'm kinda remember they still use kinetic mass drivers weapons in their navy.

One of the reasons for the mass drivers was due to some of their opponents being far more resistant to energy weapons.

And Clone Wars era cap ships were using them as well.

One of the things that was noted in Legends is that the Chiss their foes were kind of on the opposite end of the shifting between the two as most effective, the main galaxy was having the heavier increase in tech from energy weapons while the counters were still shifting there, while the Ascendency's region was in the opposite where the more physical weaponry was becoming superior and the shields were still shifting from energy focused to physical focused.

Cinder has its uses. It makes sure support for the Empire erodes very quickly and hastens the fracturing as planets go independent and warlords seize the occasion. Plus it's absolutely a fuck you Palpatine would pull.

It's the dramatics, Las watched some videos of Anakin from the Clone Wars and immediately clocked the twins as Skywalkers.

Being a Chiss puppet doesn't sound too bad. They tend to be arrogant sure but they are also extremely isolationist and as such unlikely to do much with your puppet status.

 

[swtoring]

Except not really? Wasn't it a point that death squadron was requisitioned by Vader for the purpose of hunting rebels only? I may be misremembering but that may have been Palps' way of subtly saying "you may get to galivate around the galaxy NOW... BUT once you are done you will have to put all the toys back" to Vader but i might be wrong since both in canon and legends Palps is bipolar at the best of times and a total schizo at others
