Oh i never thought about that but thats a really good point, the imperials wouldnt directly promote such an idea since it makes them seem weaker than the rebels, but it sure is a good question to start askinThe best part is that even 'on-the-fence' current members might just see the Rebellion going out of their way to destabilize the 'Ideal Imperial World', and start wondering if any of those 'imperial atrocities' that got them to defect were possibly actually Rebels manufacturing a reason to join them. Sure was convenient that the Rebellion was right there to help you after, wasn't it?
I mean, it absolutely was the Empire doing all the warcrimes, but still.

Any moment now Lord Vader is going to take notice that someone is trying to out Aura farm him and there will be reckoning.

Chp-59: The Unseen Hand and the Iron Fist
Darna Sabrir
Edin System, Highreach, Edinspire
Once again, Darna sat at her desk wondering how the Governor ever did it. Edin's population was barely half of Minda's, but the amount of work she had to do felt monumental.
Sure, there were countless pirates and criminals that were being pushed back on the daily, there were infrastructure projects, social programs, and her position as Guild Director, and-
Darna sighed. Sometimes, she wished things had never gotten to this point. That Minda had stayed a small, agricultural backwater where she could enjoy her life as a secretary with good pay, good coworkers, good scenery and a good boss. Things would've been so much simpler.
Then, she reads a report from CHAIN operatives that a shipment of kidnapped children had been saved, and she throws those thoughts away. For all that she could've been living the easy life, the burden she has taken upon herself has allowed her to save so many others. Both through the WEB, and HAVEN.
HAVEN being the name of the anti-slavery operation she ran. Within the WEB she was called Weaver, and within HAVEN she was Lighthouse. Only those at the very top of each organization knew who she was, totalling around three people, and they were very close friends of hers. Of course, neither organization knew about the other aside from the high command of both.
Compartmentilization was key here. While she could ensure that the Mindan and Edin governments never looked too deeply, there were always unseen variables. In fact, most of the HAVEN operatives didn't even know they were HAVEN operatives, not unlike the passive members of the WEB through the government app.
Of course, when it came to HAVEN, it was a tad different. The unknowing operatives were freightmasters who took a little on the side to 'lose' a shipment or two every now and again, bureaucrats who looked the other way for a few creds, maybe a merc who's paid to off some pirates and never look back.
The real operatives of HAVEN were the various sub-groups within it. The LODESTARS identified which slaves could be most easily saved without compromising the mission, where to find them, etc… They skulked through the slave markets of Nar Shadda and the swamps of Nal Hutta, eavesdropping in both dive bars and classy establishments, hacking terminals and spying on the enemy.
The CONDUITS did the actual relocation, intercepting shipments, extracting slaves and getting them to Minda. They did the starfighting, the boots on the ground activity. Sometimes, it was a breach and extract. Other times, slaves simply disappeared, much to the confusion of their masters.
The LOOM crafts new lives for the escaped slaves, helping them settle into villages, towns, and cities across Minda and, now that it was becoming more stable, parts of Edin. Mainly Edinspire.
It was the SPARK, however, that did the longest term work. They were propaganda artists of sorts, spreading the anti-slavery message far and wide. They were the fewest in number at the moment, and mostly worked through the holo-net, but they would grow in time. The Empire officially didn't condone slavery, but that was simply drivel for the Core to eat up. In the Outer Rim, it was a fact of life, and made anti-slavery propaganda difficult to disseminate, especially with the ISB and COMPNOR so active in the Core where the propaganda was needed the most.
All things considered, HAVEN was a more complex machine compared to the WEB, and for good reason. The WEB was an organization of people who wanted nothing to do with the Civil War, and were willing to do something to keep it that way, so long as they didn't have to stick their necks and risk themselves or their family to do it. Commendable, but not nearly enough to do what HAVEN needed to do. HAVEN was mostly ex-slaves who had that fire in them, the ones that above all wish to see the chains of others broken. That was a much larger task, requiring a much larger structure.
Still, it did good. Darna smiled as she remembered that video captured by the very first team of CONDUITS. A cargo pod of slaves being told that they were just freed forever. Watching them hug and cry the hooded CONDUITS had been a monumental moment for her. She wasn't ashamed to say she cried. Proof that she could do good in this galaxy, that her efforts were not in vain.
That there were children out there saved from the life she had been forced to live. That her mother had likely died living.
The video had been deleted, and the CONDUITS never showed their faces, nor speak without voice modulators. The more deniability, the more secrecy, the less risk those freed will face.
And all the better life will be.
Until the Scarred Hand showed up.
Because, up until then, both the WEB and HAVEN had been doing tremendously well. Slaves were freed on the regular, Hutt operations were sabotaged in ways that made it seem like accidents or Hutt on Hutt infighting(quite common), gangs and cartels were caught and killed as quickly as they could spring up, and things were good. Life was good.
But then, she got a call from Sidheth. Who told her that some extremists had decided to target Minda. The WEB got on it right away, and their actions were countered consistently. Some anonymous tips to the police led to some investigations, but they were good at covering their tracks.
Many attempts to plant bugs, sabotage infrastructure, and more were thwarted. But it wasn't enough.
Darna had no way of getting these terrorists herself. They were always out of reach, not sneaky enough to get by the WEB, but enough to escape the police, enough to escape justice.
It angered her beyond belief. Especially now that they had attacked Minda itself, and killed. Only 5 were dead, thankfully. But they were all members of the Mindan Council, which meant that the people's representatives had been killed. And how many others could've been? How many?
Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? The WEB prevented much, but it was not perfect. It could not act, and every WEB had gaps.
So now, she was tightening the noose. To protect Minda, and to ensure this disease didn't spread to Edin. Especially with the new projects. More industries, more mining, refining, education, farming, and more were being built. Companies were setting up shop, people starting businesses. It was still small, but the potential was there. For Edin to grow strong and clean like Minda had.
She would not allow these two palaces of prosperity to be soiled. Not while her blood still ran and her heart beat with rage.
Silently, she sent an encrypted message to her most trusted agents, those she knew would never betray her, or blink at what she loathed to propose, yet knew was needed.
It was time to act like the Custodian she was, and SWEEP.
-
God I fucking hate my boss, man.
Sitting in some chair on the other side of the sector, looking at me with the stare of someone who just found an opportunity.
I didn't like being seen as an opportunity. Unfortunately, I don't get to tell my boss that, or I get the noose.
"Governor. This attack does not bode well for you, or the project."
I nod, not too fast to seem desperate, but not so slow as to seem hesitant. Can't let him get a read on me.
"Perhaps, Moff Hiral. I already have my best people hunting down these terrorists, rest assured we will catch them."
Fuck! I already sound like a cartoon villain. Not the big bad, but the underling that's always telling their boss they'll 'catch those pests' every episode but never does. The kind that, in this galaxy, gets killed! But what the hell else am I supposed to say!?
"Hmmm…Worry not, I believe you. Will you require additional resources for this endeavor?" Hiral responded, and I was momentarily surprised. I mean, a Moff, asking if his underling needs help? Weird. Suspicious too. But maybe…
"It would be a great help if more Stormtroopers were assigned to increase patrols. With the first set of three shipyards a mere week away, I fear the terrorists may target them as well. The extra security will be needed to sniff them out, and, failing that, protect the new assets until such time that we may eradicate the enemy."
"...Approved. These shipyards are of great importance, Governor. Do not allow them to be damaged or destroyed, or the consequences will be…dire."
"Of course, Moff Hiral. Though, I must warn you. The extra security measures will slow things down, as logistical chains will need to be scanned and checked thoroughly, among other things."
"...Hmmm. Understandable, if unfortunate. However, to ensure all this goes smoothly, and to help speed up the investigation into this rebel group, I will be sending along an agent with these stormtroopers. He shall aid in the investigation. Is that clear?"
"Of course, sir."
He hummed once more, but said nothing. After that, he gave me a list of pre-orders to have completed ASAP, and left to go schmooze it up with some fat cat or another.
Now that I was alone, I could do this.
"FUCK!"
I drop down into my chair, having stood for the meeting to be respectful.
A fucking Agent? From who? The ISB? Fuck, probably, right?
My eyes darted back and forth, as if I could gleam some clue from my ever familiar office. What should I do? I mean, if they get the baddies quicker, that's great, but what kind of damage will they do in the meantime?
What happens if they decide to execute someone? Can they do that? I mean, I can technically do that, but its not exactly a good fucking look, now is it!? And what will they report!? What will they say!? Enough to get me killed!? Maybe I can bribe them? No, if that fails then I'm done for sure!?
As my breathing gets faster, my breaths become shorter, my eyes looking everywhere yet seeing nothing, Mugwuffin intervenes.
Calmsafehappysecure
My breathing slows, and my eyes focus back into reality again.
As I chill out, my heart rate falling to a healthy beat, I feel Mugwuffin's energy envelop me, and I find myself floating over to my office couch.
She plops me down onto it, before jumping onto me, curling into my chest like an oversized cat.
I stroke her head, enjoying the surprisingly warmth her scales produce. Isn't she a reptile?
As if sensing my thoughts, which is a real possibility at this point, one of her eyes opens, staring at me with a look that seems to ask;
Does it matter?
And no. No it doesn't.
So I lay there, petting my maybe sentient alien lizard-cat friend, and wondering what the hell my life has come too.
…
"I'll figure it out tomorrow."

Hi there folks! Odd time to upload(2:24 AM PST), but I can't fall asleep because of my poor life choices, despite all the research linking a lack of sleep to dementia and the like. So, I decided to feed the star wars nerds here instead!
Here, I wanted to expand on Darna's current roles a little bit, and what she's been up to. Getting a little radical there, but at this point it's to be expected. Darna's fall (or is it rise?) into chief of the secret police/kill squad will be fun to write, if nothing else. I also spent way too much time coming up with SWEEP. Not even an acronym, none of them are, I just wanted something kinda thematic. Took way too long, cause everything else sounded weird. PRUNE for a more garden theme felt weird. CURE for a more medical theme felt a little fascist for some reason. SWEEP feels a bit better. I'm open to constructive criticism on this one, cause it has been a doozy.
And the upcoming Agent! Not super sure how I want that to go, but it'll happen. Las needs a more minor antagonist, and a strict ISB agent seems to fit the bill if nothing else.
Also! While I've done some research, if there are any ships y'all think would fit the use of the shipyards, feel free to comment on them! As they berths get delivered in batches of three, by next chapter the first batch will be there, with production to begin within two weeks. Assuming, of course, that everything goes well.
So far, the ships being built are on the smaller size, as this is more in line with what the Outer Rim needs, no matter how many crybaby Imperials scream and yell for their overpriced ISD's. Spicy tortilla chip has a logistical shit stain a mile long.
As always, feedback and commentary is appreciated.
Thanks for reading!

Is it just me, or is the cat getting stronger?
Sure, SOME of it can be explained away as the Mug just not being willing to expose all her tricks, but she definitely couldn't do levitation earlier. Otherwise she wouldn't have been in the box.

I wonder how our resident espionage ladies are gonna handle the poor ISB agent, if they're unsympathetic and probably arrogant as hell. Maybe he'll be nice instead? Stranger things have happened in this galaxy.

so will las ask his sister for this agents dossier?
and how big are the dockyard slips? are we talking ISD or SISD capable>?
also las should build utility ships for task's such as Maintenance/repair/auxiliary.
a lot of basic foundational ship's may be lacking in outer-rim for everyday purpose that everyone takes for granted.(this may encourage re-activating old installation's that could no longer be maintained perhaps. therefore increase sector wide economy maybe guild will control the building program?
maybe a mobile supply/mining/refining/repair/refuelling or patrol ship/base maybe not as big as the luchrehulk but enough for most small-mid sized operations.

Darna wearing four hats of medium sized
organizations, three of which span multiple systems and the other is in charge of an entire planet: "Force, how does Las do it?"
Las literally last chapter: "There is a little thing called delegation."
Corruption is okay as long as we are fermenting it among our enemies.
The fact there are multiple planets where the Empire enslaves the entire populace in total with no outside influence says a lot about its stance on slavery.
Is that the influence of Sith philosophy I hear? Eh probably not. Nothing to worry about.
Yeah the weakness of a primarily information based organization. It lacks the teeth to bite so it relies on outside sources for enforcement.
On one hand, only five people. On the other, five highly ranked people among Minda's population. That is going to make anyone in government very reluctant to work with the Rebels.
The lack of lower "ranking" civilian casualties will also lessen the chance of general unrest being caused by these attacks. Political assassination may sour the general mood, but less chance of a general panic than people being gunned down in the streets.
Time for Darna to put on a fifth hat, and it will be the most menacing of the bunch.
A boss that approves additional reinforcements and sends an elite investigator before things go out of control? Hiral is a rare breed.
If Las is willing to branch out, I can see the Loronar Corporation being a good company to build ships of. When they aren't building the balls of doom that are the Torpedo Spheres they're decent ship builders.
The Loronar Medium Transport is a decent addition to the civilian production. Up to a fourth of the cost of a YT light freighter, it still brings a lot of cargo from point A to Point B.
The main "downside" is the ship is hard to militarize given how nestled in the civilian engine is and its sub-light speed for dogfighting being slooow. Although that is also a bit of an upside by making it off putting to Rebels and pirates.
There is also the Strike-class medium cruiser if Las wants more firepower. It is about half the cost of a Gladiator with not that much reduction in firepower in exchange for a bit more multi-role in function. The crew requirements are a bit higher. It would probably make for a better flagship for system defense fleets than the Gladiator given the Strike is more suited to planetary assault, prefab deployment, and other "utility" uses.

I thought his boss said 'he'?
' I will be sending along an agent with these stormtroopers. He shall aid in the investigation.'
Which is strange. Not adding another woman in his totally not harem life.

I still want some of his R&D team to come up to him with modernized Harrower-class Dreadnaught/Battle Cruiser/Heavy Cruiser, as it would give the needed firepower and carrying capacity for starfighters that the Empire actually need, but without the massive crew requirements of any type of ISD needs. It's kinda like a Venator but better.

If you're looking for an ISB agent that's a relatively blank slate and yet still connected to the major characters there's Oniye Namada's unnamed daughter who was probably born before or during the clone wars.
Since her mother (who fills out the uniform VERY WELL btw) was an ISB agent it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have her joining in to follow her mother's footsteps and if they are anything alike then the soft hand she preferred using would be a perfect fit for the MC (if you intend for the minor antagonist to disappear and still have an ISB agent in system or to make her the opposite of her mother as with Armand Isard and Ysanne Isard and have her be the agent he has to deal with) since she probably wouldn't mess up any of his carefully crafted systems ... there's also the fact her mother is a direct subordinate of Vader and i think it would be hilarious if another important subordinate of his had a daughter stationed in system.
I think the Minda pattern Raider, Vigil and the Customs Corvette are going to be good flagship products for the shipyard but if you're looking for something more prestigeous then Kontos class star frigate or the Proclamator class star frigate (i think this could be spun as a modernized acclamator) would be good additions as well and if people would be really getting on your case about not pumping out proper Mobile Oppression Centers like the ISD you can always make some Procursators since
they're literally just a smaller star destroyer and a star destroyer is a star destroyer so the crybabies who want their own MOP would either get it or not "lower themselves" to getting anything less than an ISD, thereby allowing actually competent commanders to take charge of those modified ships and spread their reputation across the stars

Here's some decent frigate/corvettes which the MC might consider having constructed at the new yards. It's better to have some easier to build or at least smaller ships to put into production first. Maybe Vigil-class, Marauder-class corvettes, CR-90 / DP-20 (CEC designs) corvettes, or Pelta-class frigates. Pelta-class are relatively modular Clone Wars era smallish capital ships.
Probably don't want to have it known that the yards near Minda could produce heavy capital ships. Heavy / big capital ships take a *lot* of time, money and resources to build, while also taking massive crews. It's probably a better idea to start with the smaller corvettes, frigates and freighters/civilian vessels.
TftC!

Carracks, Lancers, VT-49 Decimators (imperial millennium falcon), Raider Corvettes. A Strike Cruiser is about 450 meters if that's not too long and is designed to be easily reconfigured, with Carriers and a interdiction variant existing.

Tbh, victory I and Victory II, Procursator Acclamator along with Arquitens and the unsual menagerie of Frigate and corvttes are all good options. And harrowers are 4k years old, both extinct numbers wise and 4k years out of date, best use for a harrower is to send it to coruscant as a gift to the history museums, plus harrowers have a massive gap in the front armor into the hangars

This is probably why CURE felt a bit fascist since you probably played Half Life or saw clips of the Combine Overwatch AI in the game.

All antagonists are minor before the mighty overarching evil duo of Las' ever increasing blood pressure and stress spirals.

Despite knowing that it highly likely it can't happen due to palpy being unapproving I still want to see the venator class make a return to active service.
Just change the bridge design to match Imperial standards and some general improvements to get it in the ballpark of modern ships and you have an amazing carrier that can still land on some planets speeding up ground deployment and giving great fighter/Bomber support to both alot of fleets and ground operations.
Maybe Give it an "ironic" new class name under the Empire like the virtuous and if questions are asked about using such an incredibly Republic esque ship design from the Imperials higher up on the pecking order just go with the story of using the cruel irony method of beating the Republic obsessive rebels with a ship based on those used by that same institution, you play it right Palpatine might let a limited run be made to both test it's effectiveness and getting to potentially bully the rebels with some delightfully cruel irony.
Considering how much of a black sheep the design is in the modern empire it's one of the very very few very star destroyer designs our governer could potentially get primary ownership of at a rock bottom price aswell to reuse and tweak as he pleases alongside what else I've mentioned.

You were correct about that one. The Nazis often talked about Jews and the other people they murdered using dehumanising medical language such as referring to them as 'parasites' or 'a sickness'.
