Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[SneakyScoundrel02]

Does the CEO of Drillers United eat rocks for breakfast?

 

[SpoonyHive]

Bbq taco, flatbread/naan with various dipping sauce, cheese, milk product made of exotic alien lifeforms equivalent of cow/goat.

Resources or the lack of it shapes a culture after all. Personally I'm bias to mongol-like caravan nomad culture that has podracer pulling moving platform/caravan cart.

I have to refresh on the situation on Minda 2 again!

 

[Aeroeng]

Twi'leks.

There's a LOT of slaving aimed at them. It's downright common, so it's entirely possible to get a ship full of thousands of them, and needing a place to put them.

This is a unknown native population, Twi'leks wouldn't work.

It was an agrarian planet before he popped in. What type of produce did the orginal population grow as a cash crop. That will primarily decide the species that was the orginal inhabitants. Was it some weird purple comquad looking thing did you picture wheat fields? Was it little tentical monster grown in shallow aquariums.

I grew up as a cattle rancher in new mexico the state. New mexico is a desert. Another product we raised was alfalfa. Chilies, potatoes, ostrich and olives. In warhammer 40k agrarian often raised some really crazy evil beasts as a cash crop.

Your thinking of Minda 3, Minda 2 is the Jungle planet.


My two recommendations are,

Spoiler: The Vortigaunt

or

Spoiler: The Mukodon

 

[SpoonyHive]

Okay, so Minda 5 was Minda 2, the first chapter could have used an edit.

Alright, let's see. Hyper dense catachan jungle deathworld.

Right, native idea later. The interesting thing would, THE APEX PREDATOR-S, yes multiple. We need from stalking tiger-beast to sleeping bigfoot-bear, to stuff like insectoid, large spider? A fucking huge mantis (like zerg) or centipedes that easily wrap itself around you.

OH OH, don't get forget scale stuff, snake alien thing, yes that sound horrendously marvelous!

 

[Vlaadd17]

If we say we would like to see tall tanned muscular lady species in that tropical jungle as natives, would you write it?

If not, still worth a shot.

It even could be written as they want a proper alliance with the empire, and what a better aliance than by marriage contract? He could even chose one of the sanest tribes and marry their chieftenss and raise her as the powerhouse of the planet, slowly absorbing other tribes.

You know, by selling them old blasters and old things for resources.

 

[SpoonyHive]

I personally prefer less thinly-veiled fetish and more fascinating exotic and dangerous lifeform. ~~but if we actually do thinly-veiled fetish then add a Zeltron lady pls~~

 

[Bobkyou]

I want to know what kinds of natives you want to see on Minda 2. I have yet to decide, so any submissions for culture, appearance, unique traits/artifacts/abilities are all the more likely to be taken into consideration.

Since this is QQ...
Impractically large breasted female hentai elves, and their twink male counterparts, with all the horrible tropes that go along with it. While I recall you saying you won't be writing smut/harem, that just makes it all the funnier with the MC having to deal with such cliche, one dimensional annoyances.

Chapter 19. @SpoonyHive
Thanks nice catch. We have been so focused on the inhabited planet and the asteroid mining. I basically forgot there were other places in that solar system that sophants could live on/in. I even forgot about the death world.

I want to vote for bipedal species the mc can breed with. Except the author been writing a really good serious fan fiction. The romance and humor would probably ruin the story. So yeah stick with the creepy ugly aliens. That way this story actually stays good.

 

[Egregious-Shrew]

Just for the lolz, sapient terentateks with a developing warrior culture at around the stone age

I mean he already has a twilek, and zeltron is a species. The POINT is there are already enough HOT lust provoking humanoid alien in this setting already, we could really do with something different.

I thought more about highly martial nearhuman species with woman being dominat partners and males are keep back in settlements to cock and take care of kids. You know keep the house and home affairs. It could be even suggested that ratio of man to woman is about one to five.

It would go aling with ...well pretty much everything.

Another mad woman to enter mc life, one that pretty much accept her role as warrior and leave her husband to deal with administrative work, fact that empire was tolerant for their governors having... Well near human mistress as concubines, like twileks and others.

And of course that he would bring a planet to the empire fold quite easily! No guriling campaign for years in the hell hole. Just support that beautiful strong chiefteness with old weapons and she will conquer the world for you... The fact that their primitive customs demand for marriage is... Well, he could alway run away, right?

It could be a chance for some other funny pov, like chiefteness thinking that all coming her way and she United both her planet and SI planet into her fiefdom. And got a cute husbundo that will take care of boring paper work while she is out there crushing skulls.

Or some tribals integrating into modern society and being astonished that in wider galaxy gender roles are reversed. Like one of them rizing an imperial storm trooper laughing that he thinks he is a warrior, being legetemtly surprised that he beast her up and as a result simping for him ... Like another small stories as she would be assigned to his unit and he legitimately would be shocked by her levels of bulshit, like cracking skuls ( possible with her tights! (( to that alderanin army in comand woman suprise and respect)) and all that stuff... But he would be grateful that governor decided to bring them on their side and pitying him for having a concubine as the most biggest and unhinged psycho amongst them.

Edit: basically rip off dathomir, without force users and in its stead them being tall and strong.

A tad too specific. I prob just gonna make suggestion about ecology wwww

 

[Rustic]

Anyone remember the worm species from halo the covenant used. Stick on the death world. Where the local predators population keeps the level of intelligence down. Once mc arrives the population explodes behind the safety of walls. allowing real sentences in that local area. Actually any species in the covenant would work even the grunts who are methane breathers.

 

[Bobkyou]

Jokaero are a race of basically orangutans from 40k that have been genetically engineered by a super advanced old one race to be super engineers... but have no actual intelligence beyond that or the ability to communicate.

 

[Sam I Am]

I was in the process of putting together a thing and the images I used for it were NSFW, and I forgot this story ain't in the NSFW section anymore. Feels bad man.

And I should clarify, it's not like the idea behind the race was for them to be like a harem thing or pets or whatever. It was just that the pics were what I had on hand for the idea I had of the race, and I really liked them. My stupidity has bummed me out, Goddamnit.

Welp, whatever.

 

[Z3r0Sama]

Will our unfortunate MC ever meet The Senate, Vader or any of the main cast?

Click to shrink...

Imo the only ones it would make sense for him to meet is Mon Mothma or Thrawn. Mon Mothma is the one that funded the Rebel facility and she would probably be interested in the checks and balances Las put into the different layers of government. Meanwhile GA Thrawn is already interested and with Las's efficiency focused approach and outside the box thinking.

 

[unitedluck]

With that finished, I got a question for y'all. While it's still a ways away, since the Pirate Arc is still in it's beginning stages, I want to know what kinds of natives you want to see on Minda 2. I have yet to decide, so any submissions for culture, appearance, unique traits/artifacts/abilities are all the more likely to be taken into consideration.

Trolls from World of Warcraft and change the magic to something like nightsisters force-magic

Troll

“Oh my - as I suspected. Your ancestry dates back to the dawn of the world. Great were the ancient empires of the trolls. I see a spark in your eyes, a powerful will - you wish to be great again, yes?”

[Z3r0Sama]

Now how are they going to deal with the Crowns.
If you want maximum value, you can board the Lucrehulk and take it over because it's a cool ship that would be a massive boon to Minda

Alternatively they could tell the infiltrates to deliver 17 crates of nukes and make a run for it with a safe distance of several systems

Click to shrink...

It would be a massive boon, but it would also cause the MC absolutely massive headaches. Nevermind it's a CIS ship so that's already terrible optics, but if it's a Lucrehulk Battleship refit, then he has something that can go toe to toe with an Imperial Star Destroyer I or II and win. That's more firepower than some lowly Governor in the ass end of nowhere should have. It will likely smell of Empire building to the ISB.

My hope is that if he can somehow take the Lucrehulk that he can somehow hide it. I know that's a long shot, but it's a hope and dream I have for the story.

Edit: or its gifted to him by the empire.

 

[SpoonyHive]

I wonder if one day anyone gonna adopt the LoTGH way: Multiple smaller ships, but have firing solution of a few light seconds

 

[Ballast]

That idea for the Hunters from Halo would be pretty cool. Though since I've been playing Mass Effect recently I'd have to go with something like the Krogan, but probably without the whole giving birth to a thousand children a year thing they got going on.

 

[theoretisch cool]

nice chapter. For species maybe argonians.

 

[NotRob]

I think the guild thing Milda's got going on should probably attract more Mando's and some of the other more martial like races to them. So that's something I'd like to see.

 

[swtoring]

While their beskar was technically forfeit by Imperial law, I didn't care much.

Click to shrink...

Mandos: he's brought us here to twirl his mustache while he has his troops shoot us to get our beskar didn't he
MC: Oh, i see you are wearing armor made out of Neuranium, you know, the metal used in starship construction and sometimes in armor among the more wealthy due to it's verasatility and utility

 

[Dakini-ten]

Some Yahg from Mass Effect would be fun, more violents subordinates for the Governor.

you mean for his shock troops. As long as they have a female commander (for his collection of bloodthirsty subordinates). Speaking of mass effect, I'll throw in the vorcha (can live anywhere) or asari (I know quarians are the best but they don't fit in a jungle hell).

 

[OrderedOrb]

I'd suggest the Krogan from Mass Effect, but with a Catachan flavor. In Mass Effect they already grew up on a Death World, so it would be largely the same here. A Warrior culture with ritualistic hunting practices and honor duels, similar to the Trandoshans but with more of an emphasis on fighting each other rather than hunting down other creatures. Their cuisine stands out because, due to the many poisonous plants native to the jungles of their world, much of it is mildly poisonous to the average person. And don't get me STARTED on their alcohol.

Despite their warrior traditions however, it's actually the females who largely rule them. The men are taught to fight, but the women make sure they SURVIVE. There also happens to be a significant gender disparity, 1 female for 10 males, which makes growing their population difficult even if they were off planet.

I could go on, but you get the gist. Honestly, the races from Mass Effect are some of my favorites.

 

[Roncatan]

A colony of killiks wouldn't be bad.

Killik/Legends

Killiks, who referred to themselves as the Kind, were an ancient sentient insectoid species native to the planet Alderaan in the Core Worlds. They built large mound-like structures on the plains of Alderaan. Long before most other species came to Alderaan, the Killiks vanished into the galaxy...

If we're talking purely starwars species then there's a few options for a death world

devolved Rakatans (like flesh raiders from Tython) - can have some rakatan architecture & tech (most rakatan tech is generally superior if you get past the "runs on slave torture" thing and find a way around it)

Noghri - i don't have too much info on them since i didn't read the Thrawn books but i do remember they had a rakatan temple so it's possbile they were tossed across the galaxy by the gigaslavers and either had an outpost there or something

Massassi - they were the warrior caste of the Sith species, extremely loyal and deadly, might be guarding a sith tomb of a lord that escaped eradication during the great hyperspace war like Naga Sadow and decided to rebuild in this well rounded system but something went awry and they died ... or didn't and MC gets a Sith Lady waifu that's initially arrogant but gets beaten up due to the combination of:
-all the training with Kaela,
-being weakened from stasis sleep,
-lightsaber malfunction (starwars tech is sturdy but ~5k years is enough for something to believably fail),
-Mugwuffin projecting an Ysalamiri bubble to protect her BBQ treat dispenser (the pet is force sensitive i tell you!).
Adding another psycho to his harem that he will actually have to deal with since it would be problematic to wage a guerilla war with the massassi so he takes one for the team and fucks the ancient hot red lady magician who can possibly blow up suns (since sith magic is bullshit) and enjoys getting domm'd by her husband but doesn't want to admit it (is this my poorly concealed fetish pouring itself into this post? Yes, yes it is, what are you going to do, write about it? Please do)

OC species of force sensitive humans that are either descendants of jedi or sith that crashed on the planet without a way to get off world (there are several cases of such in starwars), you can either make them force users (actively utilise the force like magicians) or force sensitives (they seem like savants but that's just 'cause they tap into the force for information on how to do X or Y, often limited as to what knowledge they access and they kinda get plot armor due to their subconcious use of the force in imperceptible ways), you can also make them have a genetically enforced love for red bandanas due to some ancient experiment gone wrong, also their main planetary export can be rubber balls

edit
ppl keep mentioning killiks but from what i know most got recalled to the dark nest in the unknown regions and the ones that did not were preparing to join them (& were left behind on Alderaan only due to the fact that the swtor devs needed an enemy type for the planet)

 

[blariviere]

Humanoid ant style hives.
Like the Ranchi from mass effect, but humanoid. Like these guys.

Their history being that they've had to evolve while being preyed upon by an apex species that they then wiped out.
Then turned to farming and herding beasts, like Nerfs.

The scythe-like arm could function as both a weapon and a tool for harvesting crops, as well as processing the meat and fur off their herd animals.
And pretty helpful for acting as a wood axe, for easier construciton of buildings.
