It's also small. The guild here concerns the economy of one single sector. If your Board of Executives can fit into a single conference room, you don't have to deal with Senate level filibustering bs.
The amount of people you have always seems like enough. Right until you want to expand, and find out everyone already has jobs.
Trying to avoid slums and providing a respectable minimum of services is commendable, but at some point I imagine Minda is going to be hit with a wave of refugees due to the Empire's various atrocities.
He's making a push for a higher office, that necessitates a making quite a few promises to secure support. If Las can actually fulfill all those promises, the better.
Didn't Veers invest a lot of money into Pathline recently? She might unintentionally have a commercial interest in this as a shareholder.
I imagine this will be changed in the subsequent meetings. More additions from Guild worlds as a way to flex influence.
Being absent from one of the largest economic meetings in the sector, peak Moff decision making.
One man's subtlety is another man's frugality and not wanting to buy something that costs a small frigate that they are only going to wear a dozen times max.
Note that these patrol vessels belong to the Guild, not any one Governor or military group. This is a commercial group getting a small fleet.
"Hmm, accepting suggestions from your subordinates in a public setting, how novel."
Funnily this type of problem should have been the Imperial Military's top priority from day one. If only to help dig the Empire out of the massive financial hole it had dug itself into with the Clone Wars.
Considering how much Imperial budget disappears into weird, corrupt, and/or esoteric special projects, some transparency would be a breath of fresh air. No Twilek concubine harems or ship destroying freeze ray here.
Raxus: "Man my sector was really boring. Just a bunch of boring meetings where Imperial Governors collectively cooperated for their mutual benefit. Everyone read through each other's reports and made reasonable and well intentioned arguments that everyone accepted and then gave counterpoints to."
Well, have a look at Darna and tell me she wouldn't be a shoe in for the Blackhearts/Blackwatch.
This is kinda how the initial Republic came to be.
Should be fine so long as Mola doesn't pull a Pollux Proclamation and decide to forcibly annex worlds into his Guild. Cameron's problem wasn't that he brought peace to the Inner Sphere through careful violence and great diplomacy, it's that he tried to expand it to the Periphery through great violence and careless diplomacy.
That's a decent system patrol force combined with the TIE production. Not a bad size for an initial run.
Might have to compromise on housing a bit. Maybe cut down unit size or set up a barracks system. Some people will take it if they believe it is temporary and they can have the job now rather than later. It would still be an improvement of the situation.
Even worse Moff Hiral is spending all the favor earned on his political campaign. If some of those "gifts" from grateful Moffs could help pay for things, that might take the edge off.
There is only so much online research and droid teachers can do for education. There needs to be some in person and hands on learning to truly know how to do the really technical stuff.
There is Zersium in the Edin system, so maybe try and set up some more mining and try to produce lower grade durasteel? Maybe not in the quantities or quality for starship manufacturing, but there is a market for Durasteel personal armor and construction in the Myto Sector. Especially with the Guild driving up interest.
I am sure the R&D Director will be more than happy to throw the madness their department has come up with for the Governor's perusal.
Hutts everywhere get a shiver
That's always bothered me. Are 0BBY and 0ABY the same year or two separate years?
I don't know, could see the governor accidentallying himself into having a Twilek harem. Maybe some slavegirls he gets gifted by some Moff or imperial notable (or even Darna if she needs to hide some freed slaves in plain sight) that he can't really turn down/free cause that could be taken as an insult. Instead the girls who assumed they'd be pleasure slaves end up something more in line with paid maids taking care of the governor's 'estate' that he's barely ever at because its more a cash sink/tax sink/dick-measuring competition piece that he does barely more than sleep and host events at.
