Thanks for the chappie. Have to admit, wasn't expecting the rise in piracy is merely the death throes of a criminal empire instead of something a bit more organized.
I still cannot get over the fact that IMU!
Huh. What combination of butterflies led to the Zann Consortium's downfall? Or is this the first downfall, in which Tyber Zann got sent to Kessel, before his later escape and reformation of the Consortium?
Has there been art added for this? I can't find it in the list. I'm assuming it's the modified Harrower-class.
Hello reasonable mobile army. This isn't something you could siege a core world with, but for knocking over some frontier fortifications it isn't drastic overkill like sending a Star Destroyer. Arbiters are basically the answer for all the oversector mobile groups Hiral has been taking away.
That's probably going to be enough for most pirate and later Rebel flotillas in Las' neighborhoods. Both tend to focus on the lighter classes and the heavier elements probably aren't coming this far out in the Rim. Even if anything heavier pops up, that's what the Star Destroyers are for.
At least Las is having this mess now rather than post-Endor. Sure some of these crews are still going to die, but the survivors can be transferred to further productions to stop it from happening again. Las' forces are basically in their "early Clone Wars" phase of crew development.
Seems like Hiral has decided to act like a Senator and abandon large parts of his constituents in favor of schmoozing and politics. That is not going to make him a lot of friends come Endor.
On one hand bulk freighters have plenty of room for guns and carrier space. On the other, bulk freighters are not exactly designed for fighting warships since most of them have anemic if any weaponry premodification. Which means all its firepower and defenses are going to be "pirate quality".
Ah yes, the "making so much money they can't steal it all" strategy.
You see Empire, that's how you intimidate the galactic upper classes into following your laws.
Honestly I can see the corruption and slavery and such, but the idea ANYONE in the empire outside the core would have the BALLS to try tax evasion makes them insane, you could get away with alot in such a government but to touch the taxes never.
The first, eow:foc happens after endor.
Other way around, Zanns prison break is JUST before Yavin and going through the wreckage of the Death Star is one of the early things you gotta do in that. Forces of Corruption does end After Endor though within the post Endor scramble as Zann makes a play for the Emperors flagship over Kuat using New Republic efforts to take Kuat as a distraction.
Alright, so the final designs numbers are in and it sounds like it's basically a Venator 3, a Cruiser-Carrier like it's predecessors but with heavier emphasis on it being a heavy cruiser.
Are those Space Bradley's/LAV's?
Hey, those are pretty good for escorting capital ships.
Sounds like they're taking a page out of The Rebellion's Mobile Fleet doctrine.
You did not just kill off the DLC faction from Empire at War and use it to kick start One Piece in SPACE.
Did Las decided to start his own domestic production of hyperdrives after that Kuat representative tried to make more money by raise their prices on him during a piracy crisis?
That's an interesting look, is it a single piece helmet? It kinda looks closer to the what the Imperal infantry get than stormtrooper helmet.
Is there any problem is Star Sector that can't be solved by mass deployement of semibreves ?
Doesn't Tri-Tachyon produce the Atlas-class? They were the ones iirc pushing for the "Load-and-Pray" shipping doctrine pre-Collapse that began to economically outcompete the Colossus-class freighter (which was well-liked for its relatively heavy armour and tad excessive weapon mounts at the time).
Pretty sure you can reliably find any Atlas-Class at any heavy industrial planet with a Heavy Industry/Orbital Work industry like Kazeron and Sindria. TT doctrine prefers using high-tech and phases ships, meaning Revenant-Class phase-ship tender, though they can use Atlases if necessary.

Anubis with triple Paladins shred through Minibreve, Semibreve and Taufan spam like butter (even before the Taufan nerf). I've also noticed that the Legion equipped with 4 Wasp LPC's (with railguns+rangefinder for kinetics, Annihilator pods for DPS and Hellbores for anti-armour) performs very well against them as well. If the Wasps don't shoot down the missiles, they can bodyblock them and detonate them early (though that does leave a gap in the defenses)Is there any problem is Star Sector that can't be solved by mass deployement of semibreves ?
Revenant-class was a phase tender for the hunter-killer fleets of Phase ships sent to attack Hegemony convoys during the Second AI War (it was discovered in a databank orbiting a distant sun a hundred years after AIW1). The Atlas was, and still is, the optimal mass cargo transport system used by Tri-Tachyon. I just thought that Tri-Tachyon was the manufacturer of the Atlas, though that seems to be incorrect.
Buy? Why do something so pedestrian. Just find some Luddite Filth that have one and have a "transponder malfunction"
Get some spies and have the spies buy/steal them
The Xhan Empire mod has a frigate with nothing but a large missile slot and a small ballistic, and just barely enough OP to slot a semibreve. My wolf packs are atomic up in here.
Mainly because droid rebellions are a thing, but also because it is impracticable for maintenance.
The automated turret defense system is going to rise up and kill the crew?... Actually that sounds like cool concept for sci-fi story and probably a real fear within the SW universe, good point.
