Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

The office I was in was…gaudy, to say the least. Twice as large as my own office, there were valuables scattered about. And gold. So much gold. Gold isn't even that valuable, he just wanted to feel rich.

Somewhere in another galaxy far, far away (thankfully) that knows only war, a certain psychic Emperor trapped in a state of undeath rages at the blasphemous heresy against gold.

I beg your pardon, dear reader, but we all know that Cad Bane would never resort to a weapon such as a scattergun when he has his trusty pistols, quick reflexes, and incredible accuracy (plus a theme that really slaps).

EDIT: Oh, can't forget about his iconic hat, too. No hat? Not Cad Bane.

Thanks for the awesome update!

I'm actually surprised that there's another Chiss in the Empire so I wonder what her story is.

I'm also hoping we get an update that's just the various povs of the ghost crew or maybe some other important canon characters like Ahsoka or Han Solo.
 
I`m honestly just excited when the Death star I gets destroyed: is for him to have both Grand Admiral Thrawn and General Rom Mohc visiting him for assistance in their own Projects. (Tie Defender and the Dark Trooper projects respectively.) The two of them would ether try and kill the other, or get along swimmingly. (There could be no in-between with the like of their personalities.) It`s going to be great!

I can't wait for Thrawn to request a squad or two of his LECAs or even the prototype suits meant for the commanders since he can probably get the money for them easily enough. After all just add an extra 3 credit charge to the fleets caff supply charge and you suddenly have enough to buy a ISD probably
 
Can we get some Imperial Commando's?

While a part of me wants the Governor to be force sensitive himself, I can't deny that it'd be a hilarious misunderstanding for someone to think, with his new drip and apparent force powers, that he's actually a Sith.

I could just imagine Force Cat one day mauling a Jedi trying to take out the Governor, taking their lightsaber and giving it to him, and he won't let him get rid of it.

Gov: *furiously whispering* "I can't keep this, you stupid rat!"

Space Cat: 'No! Gift! You keep!'

I kinda hope this happens and it's in a situation that he has to keep the intimidation going so he scrambles for something to say and goes for Grievous' Fine Collection line.

Lmao, imagine that his cat just keeps bringing him lightsabers and no one has a clue where they keep coming from

It likes the metal because it makes a great chew toy but it loves the crystal in it because it has a nice KICK and tangy flavor to it
 
Okay first off, I love that cat alien thing. Not only did it save Mola's life, but she was quite amusing in her little exchange with him during that entire section of the chapter. Secondly, I about swallowed my tongue when Thrawn called our boy just outta the blue like that, having momentarily forgotten that he'd expressed interest in Las and his accomplishments in a previous chapter.

Since we're sharing music, figured I'd throw my metaphorical hat into the ring lol.

Speaking of our Grand Admiral, this was artistically done. :D

This is fun, I always love stories about the guy trying to avoid the plot and this is being done very well.
I'm not sure why Thrawn is sending him TIE designs to work on though, he should be smart enough to know when to stop beating that dead horse. The TIE is a giant dog turd and from my understanding of Legends, the only reason it even exists is because it's one of those under the table tug-jobs Palpatine was giving out to get arms manufacturers on board with his Empire plan. It's trash, everyone knows it's trash, everyone always knew it was trash and the designer literally had to support a dictatorship to force that thing off of the drawing board. Like the SU-57. So why is Thrawn still trying to find a way to polish a turd instead of having something made from the ground up?
Never mind, kind of answered my own question there.

I don't think it's him. The impression I'm getting is that the space-cat is connecting him to the Force because it think it's funny.

To their youngling, Governor Mola.
Rejoice, for you are loved by your scary cat.

Nice, we have the schematics.
And tacit support more or less from a Grand Admiral.
We're gonna go places, I can see it~

Looks like we'll have a hazing of sorts.
Gotta make sure the Governor's people...
Are loyal, competent, and efficient.

Soooo, we got a better version of Jar Jar? A secret hidden master that is too adora-predatory to hate; that manipulates the empire from their literal lap of luxury with BBQ rations galore?

I can see it.

they then start tripping like on cat nip, sending random telekinetic pulses everyway at random. maybe make ear piercing screeching because they think it's funny at the time.

Because it's very much NOT trash. The TIE Defender is one of the scariest and most advanced Starfighters in Legends and can alike and was basically a hard counter to the Rebellion. The Rebels usage of hit & run coupled with large numbers of heavily armed Starfighter forces was basically a hard counter to the Tarkin Doctrine and the massive Star Destroyers the Empire had such a hard-on over. The TIE Defender rendered that obsolete by allowing an even better fighter with even heavier armaments and shields WITH Hyperdrives to beat the Rebels at their own game. It was honestly a much better use of resources than the Death Star, Palpatine and Tarkin just have a love for ships and Battlestations of such a massive size because they think bigger is always better.

Better idea: they see new lightsabers keep appearing and come to the conclusion that he is OBVIOUSLY a total badass who hunts down Jedi in his spare time as a hobby. He just doesn't go public about it because he's such a chad that he doesn't consider his very easy hobby to be something worth bragging about.
 
Another wife into his harem get?

Edit: But damn, the force loves him for sure! Not only did he get advanced schematica for top tier fighter, he did it for free and from thrawn himself! Im sure the big blue won't be vocal about it, so as everyone concerned, to the wider public they are pretty much lost , burned with the fire and got stolen by space whales... Or so everyone thinks.

Yeah but that's the TIE Defender which from my understanding was so heavily modified by the Empire's skunkworks that it can barely be called a TIE. And if I remember right it was so expensive to produce that there were never enough of them to see any real use. You are right about the Defender being an amazing fighter and a hard counter to the Rebel fighters, but that kind of proves my point since there were obviously better options floating around that they could have used, like what the Rebels were using, and they wouldn't have cost nearly as much to get any use beyond swarm tactics out of.
To be fair though, Legends has been ret-conned and changed by different authors so many times that my familiarity with the in-universe TIE history could be way off by now.
