I read all of that. then my mind yells "KHAN!" in Kirk's voice from star trek. would be funny if their title after the empires collapse is khan.
They have blown up a death star at this point and it was stated that this event caused an open rebellion galaxy wide. In the films at least, as more and more planets openly joined them. Like lothal, moncolamary and others. Sure, not death of palpatin, but about time to start thinking of creating capitals. Hit and run tactics only could get you so far.
And as we know all those rebellions were squashed, because the death star was a stick and not a pillar of the empire, palpatine, he made himself the sole pillar of the empire, the only dam holding back the backstabbing bastards from starting a war on a scale never before seen, only his death would allow the rebellion to openly operate, they should be smart enough to understand that
Ehh, I don't know about that. It's being towed to a world that's supplying the rebellion with a lot of stuff like spare parts and useful equipment so having the shipyard get set up unmolested means they can smuggle more stuff out or get harder to justify missing stuff out more easily.
Yavin and hoth are exactly what I'd point at to prove myself here. Backwater planets they can hide in without drawing attention. Minimal space infrastructure so the empire has to really look to find them. As soon as the empire realizes they're there, here comes the navy, and the rebs have to leave. The empire is at the height of its power still, until endor. The rebels can't hold ground, and a shipyard is VERY hard to hide, let alone one that can produce capital ships
And puting it in a deep space? Besides, i doubt shipyards hard to hide. Pirates have space stations and they are fine. More than fine, as they plagued sw galaxy for millennia.
Shipyards aren't difficult to hide..... covering up the shear amount of resources needed to build ships on the other hand? Thats where the problems are.
I'm not talking about ISD amount of resources, but surely shipyard to refit and repair ships? And occasionally build big one? Not to mention the rim is filled with poor resource extraction mining worlds. Not to mention asteroid belts and cheap droids as miner workforce ( not to mention CIS! Wich was primary rim based! And its shit ton of easy repair b1 droids to send into mines. ( After reprogramming)
It's not completely infeasible, but it'd be real hard. I might be remembering incorrectly but I'm operating under the impression that the rebel fleet at endor was just about everything they had at the time. This means that if the empire finds a hard target, e.g. a shipyard, a factory, or a planet in open rebellion, the rebels can't hold it against a determined action to take or destroy it.
Around 25aby the world of dubrillion (the sector capital and the world through which the hyperspace traffic to minda mainly travels through) was under the New Republic jurisdiction meaning he'd either be cut off or he'd have an opportunity to show off his competence by getting rid of the rebels when they come knocking
0ABY is when the Rebels go on their big Imperial Infrastructure Offensive. Trying to prevent any rebuilding efforts by the Imperial military after the DS1 was destroyed. Doing stuff like the big Weapons Factory Raid on Cymoon led by newly commissioned officer Lieutenant Skywalker, bombing Kuat Shipyards, and blowing up the Supply Base on Imdaar.
Hire from where? OHNOES, the educated and motivated ppl flock from squeezing core to some no-name system in the rim...
He didnt catch the slip. And he never will.
Too bad, the dude didnt know, the Empire was already on deathbed.
Thats the fun part. If you cant produce ships of the current leading corp, just produce one from the enemy. And they do have schematics for cr90 and other, pre-Empire ships.
Just look up a real tug pushing an aircraft carrier or a super tanker.
New favorite chapter for this alone. No longer having to rummage through chapters looking for the Moff and Capital World name.
Ah yes, when a solid chunk of your military explodes, the first thing one should think when production orders go up is "political game". Not say, the whole chunk of the military exploding and further factories start exploding this year.
Turns podunk system into a shining gem of the sector.
Las might be a fool, but at least he can back up his foolishness.
Las might be underestimating the sheer amount of people from Rothana who will be begging to be taken along to Minda. Las will be taking the cornerstone of the planet's economy away.
Getting that first ship out before the year is done would be one heck of a feather in both Las' and the Moff's hat. 55 mil is also a drop in the bucket given they were discussing billons of credits for the actual deal. Also those escorts are basically free cross galaxy advertising campaign for the Minda's new ships like the TIE variants.
Ehhhh, depends on some factors. Negotiating the contract and specifications, waiting for an appropriate space to open up and laying down the berth, getting the materials shipped in on the timetable, allocating the workers and specialist hours as opposed to all the other projects, and adjusting for any changes in requirements or unforeseen circumstances.
