Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Wratus]

Hmmmm seeing how some Space stations haven't changed all that much in design from the Old Republic era while others are quite wild in their designs like these.

Spoiler: Current era confirmed designs

Citadel of Rur

Sorca Retreat

Faos Station

We can actually use the SWTOR space station designs for the Minda system and the Myto Sector if going by my idea to create strategically placed stations to serve as sector patrol headquarters, plus Moff Las Mola was contemplating on building a space station to function as his own headquarters and office space wasn't he. And the stations in question has a nice and simple design that you can expect to come from a Imperial construction project.

Spoiler: Vaiken Spacedock and Carrick Station

Vaiken Spacedock

Carrick Station

We also can't forget about the Golan Defence Stations, but seeing as most of these are found in important core Imperial worlds the question is if our Moff can afford em.

Spoiler: Golan Defence Stations/Platforms

Golan M3185 space station

Golan I Space Defence Platform

Golan-II Defence Platform

Golan-III Defence Platform

With all the slaves Las is freeing he may gain Vaders support, maybe not openly but from the shadows.

I am of the thought that we NEED a Die Hard Style Mugwuffin chapter.
She needs a chance to show off her Force Lizard Catness! Also, how is the production of Mugwuffin plushies going?

Maybe various offices / departments / buildings / teams could be authorized to keep an emotional support animal / mascot around. I imagine that this might actually boost productivity for some jobs, or decrease stress, mistakes, attrition, turnovers etc.

People could argue that their pets are better based on how much they increase productivity, and Mugwuffin could be shown to be the best, and obviously responsible for the high productivity / competence of Las and his people. People could make a graph of Las' productivity before and after Mugwuffin to justify getting office animals.

Office plants, perhaps cultivated Bansai style, and more would also be an option. Perhaps some madman could have a Pygmy Sarlacc which is kept in a little terrarium and fed bugs, like an extra sized Antlion.

Some pets could perhaps be droids, especially for the more technical departments, offices, teams, etc. - maybe a small flying model of a starship or TIE fighter could be the pet of someone.

Perhaps a model of a civilian LECA could be made, and people could play fetch / catch with it, or something like that.


On another note, I think there should be a business which has go-carts for races. Perhaps some people would see go-carts with actual *wheels* as about as antiquated as horses are to us, if not more so, and there could be betting over go-kart races, and more.

Perhaps there could be challenges to make combustion-engine-driven primitive vehicles and drive them around a track.

Making a droid pilot and programming it to be the best racer would both add another dimension to the challenge and make the sport safer for organics.

IMPERIAL SECURITY BUREAU | PERSONNEL SUMMARY

Moff Las Mola (Formerly Governor of Minda and Edin systems)

---

BIOGRAPHICAL OVERVIEW

• Birth: 5 BFE, Coruscant.
• Residency: Relocated to Eriadu during childhood, now resides on Ugea.
• Physical Description: 5'10" with a pale complexion and brown hair.
• Distinguishing Marks: Heavy scarring on the right side of the face resulting from an assassination attempt by the Crowns syndicate (Check Medical File 77B).
• Education: Expelled from the Imperial Academy of Eriadu for impertinence.
• Combat Training: Private self-defense instruction under Commander Kaela Grant (Check File Grant-K).

---

FAMILY ASSET DISTRIBUTION

The subject has consolidated his immediate family into critical sector roles to ensure absolute loyalty.

• Dornun Mola (Father): Serves as an informal information gatherer and local intelligence asset.
• Jir Mola (Mother): Former Academy Commandant who was discharged by the subject immediately upon her arrival in the Myto Sector.
• Shal Mola (Sister): Commander of the ISD Heavy Judgement tasked with guarding the Minda shipyards.
• Zyx Mola (Sister): Former Military Intelligence agent now serving as a direct administrative aide.
• Alvi Mola (Sister): High-ranking TIE pilot currently patrolling the Edin system.

---

ECONOMIC AND SECTOR ACHIEVEMENTS

The subject maintains a philosophy of economic stability that prioritizes long-term yields over immediate Imperial quotas.

• Imperial Guild: An expansive economic infrastructure providing loans and managing market competition through a strict ranking and trust system. It utilizes tiered rewards to incentivize productivity, such as granting high-ranked mercenaries exclusive equipment rights. The system even incorporates "Sourcing Specialists" to hunt rival smugglers and repurpose or dispose of illicit cargo (Check File Guild-PROD).
• Rothana Assets: Acquired RHE's orbital shipyard and specialized factory components for 9 billion credits to negotiate more lenient quotas for the system with the then-Moff (Check Financial Report RHE99).
• Negotiation History: The transaction was successfully brokered by the former secretary Oioro.
• Technological Push: Developed and mandated Personal Digital Assistants to replace standard datapads for more efficient data processing and administration.

---

LOYALTY AND POLITICAL ALIGNMENT

Mola's methods have drawn significant scrutiny from COMPNOR regarding his adherence to New Order orthodoxy.

• Ideological Deviance: COMPNOR has logged formal concerns regarding the subject's strict meritocratic systems and his willingness to allow aliens into high-level government roles.
• Auxiliary Forces: Under his tenure, non-human auxiliaries have become increasingly common within sector security forces.
• Imperial Benefits: Despite these deviations, the Myto Sector has experienced a dramatic rise in tax revenue and logistical efficiency.
• Civilian Stability: His policies have fostered a growing middle class that expresses vocal loyalty to the Empire, creating a counter culture to potential local revolutionary sentiment.

---

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Mola presents as a high-functioning workaholic with an extreme focus on logistical optimization. He lacks a traditional social circle and avoids the standard political posturing common among his peers.

• Work Ethic: Historically logged 14-hour days as Governor and currently maintains a strict 56-hour work week.
• Interpersonal Relations: Social interactions are limited to his pet lizard and a red-skinned bodyguard of unknown origin.
• Staffing Preference: Shows a consistent pattern of hiring non-human secretaries who are eventually promoted to positions of significant influence.
• Political Ambition: Appears low. His maneuvers are consistently aimed at fiscal health rather than personal power.

---

SECURITY CLASSIFICATIONS

The subject's connection to the Inquisitorius is currently obfuscated. The Seventh Brother was present during an incident on Edin, but all related documentation is inaccessible to this branch following the restructuring of the Inquisition (Check Restricted Archive SEC-00). The identity and background of his primary bodyguard remain unverified, but are suspected to be related to this incident.

BFE stands for Before the Formation of the Empire.

Said I'd drop this, so here it is. Also, they call Zyx an aide cause thats her official title, they have no clue of her more secretive activities.

Keep it real.

I'm seeing this and the most hilarious thing that comes to mind is if Las' pension he gave her is enough to set her up in mansion, (probably an idea by his dad/sisters to keep her out of trouble and their hair) so People think he basically forced his mother into retirement only to put up in the sweet life. thus somehow creating rumors that he Loves his mother and wants nothing more then for her to relax. but Jir keeps having Political parties in hopes of being able to make connections again. but everyone who visits keeps on saying how great her son is and how she must be proud to be able to retire with her son paying for everything. They are also visiting in hopes of making connections to Las by his mother which she her self is using to try and make connection again.

From the outside looking in, an Imperial would think that everything went according to Jir's plan. All her kids are successful, and her family has de facto control over a prosperous sector. To Imperial eyes it looks like Jir secured her legacy and then retired to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Do you mean flour -> egg -> crumbs or do you double stack it flour -> egg -> flour -> egg -> crumbs? I tried the double stacking recently but don't particularly taste a difference..

Click to shrink...

If you were so inclined to use crumbs (I don't personally, because I don't like my breading that thick and i cut my chicken pretty small. I am also not fancy enough to use real crumbs) then i would say to use crumbs instead of the second coat of flour, though if you like the thicker breading, do as you wrote. Mine get crunchier than store bought fried chicken without crumbs.

[Blackenedthorn]

I can imagine his mother fall into old habits and buys a manor that she turns into an informal Imperial Prep School, despite it all become very successful in her own way and creates an environment that encourage Imperial Loyalty without all the Backstabbing. Just imagine that Imperial Cadets hailing from Minda come in the form of a variety of species but all are fiercely loyal to the Empire, give some of the most crisp salutes some officers had seen in years, and display none of the stereotypes expected of the Myto Sector or their species.

Also, another means to gain Vader's approval could possibly to sponsor an Imperial-Myto Podracing Tournament with some heft prizes offered and it just so happens to occur during a snap visit of the death's Head Squadron

 

[GradeTheAuthor]

While I don't think he would, would our Moff ever decide just for the sake of it to try adding a movie, TV etc studio to his territory? I'm pretty sure movies and TV shows are a thing in Star Wars and he has some ideas he could "borrow" for some spare or extra cash. Honestly it would still be funny even if that didn't happen if he contemplated it but decided not too.

ALLIANCE INTELLIGENCE | OPERATIONAL DOSSIER

TARGET DESIGNATION Subject-Myto

SUBJECT IDENTITY Moff Las Mola

---

VITAL STATISTICS

• Birth: 5 BFE, Coruscant.
• Residency: Ugea (Minda-3).
• Physical Profile: 5'10" height with a pale complexion, brown eyes and hair.
• Distinguishing Features: Severe facial scarring on the right side from an explosion.
• Origin: Moved to Eriadu as a child before beginning his career in the Imperial bureaucracy.

---

PHYTOCELL ASSETS AND THE RUSTY REFIT

The Phyto Cell currently maintains a high-value presence within the Minda system through the Rusty Refit Orbital Yard. This facility was established early in the subject's governorship through a deal involving Alliance-aligned entrepreneurs.

• Operational Terms: The yard allocates one third of its capacity to Imperial system defense while the remaining two thirds operate under private control.
• Strategic Value: The facility serves as a vital conduit for refurbished hyperdrives, thruster assemblies, and light freighters distributed to cells across the galaxy.
• Guild Benefit: The yard has significantly expanded its influence and procurement capabilities through membership in the Imperial Guild.
• Liaison Status: Initial access was secured via Darna Sabrir who was a former Phyto Cell agent. However, Sabrir has since ceased all communication with the Alliance and appears fully committed to the subject's administration (Check File Sabrir-D).

---

SECURITY THREATS AND ANOMALIES

While our intelligence on the subject's inner circle is less comprehensive than Imperial records, certain events have impacted regional operations.

• The Scarred Hand: An unaffiliated extremist group launched a series of terror attacks that nearly compromised the security of the Rusty Refit.
• The WEB: During a covert rest stop by the Specters (Phoenix Cell), unidentified actors calling themselves the WEB warned the group that they were not welcome on Ugea. Alliance Command has no further data on this organization (Check File WEB-INTEL).
• Governance Transition: Following his promotion to Moff, the subject appointed Governor Raina to oversee the Minda system.
• Defensive Capability: The subject is protected by a formidable security detail and rarely leaves his capitol building, which itself is heavily guarded.

---

RECRUITMENT AND DEFECTION ASSESSMENT

The Phyto Cell has conducted a feasibility study regarding the potential to turn the subject to the Rebel cause.

Points of Alignment

• The subject demonstrates a clear lack of human-centric bias and actively promotes non-humans.
• His administrative policies have curtailed the use of slave labor in favor of paid vocational training.
• He shows no adherence to COMPNOR's radical New Order ideology.

Risk Assessment

• Conclusion: Recruitment is strictly prohibited at this time.
• Reasoning: While the subject possesses the growth potential and administrative genius to severely destabilize regional Imperial control, he shows zero indicators of pro-Rebellion sentiment. Any attempt to approach him carries an extreme risk of failure. Such a failure would lead to the potential discovery of the true nature of the Rusty Refit Orbital Yard, the loss of which outweighs the slim chance of his defection.

---

SUMMARY ANALYSIS

Subject-Myto is a rare example of an Imperial official who builds loyalty through economic prosperity rather than fear. While he is not an ally, his meritocratic approach creates a stable environment for our covert operations to thrive. We recommend maintaining the status quo as long as the Rusty Refit remains undetected.

Was not expecting this so soon after the Imperial dossier, but I much appreciate you writing it.

 

[Heidao]

ISB: We're a little leery that he's hiring and promoting aliens, but his selection process is fully anonymous and merit based

That, and he's paying the tithes with zero corruption and the overall civilian perception loves the Empire

Conclusion: Look, Don't Touch

Meanwhile

Rebels: We know he's within the potential alignment to switching to our cause, but at the current rate. His sector is safe and content, no rebel sentiment can fester there and it's better off as a place to set up shop to make money and get stuff

Conclusion: Make Bank, Turncoat Offer TBD


In the end, he's that super special game piece on everyone's side of the board, but they don't realize that all their hands are on him

Distinguishing Features: Severe facial scarring on the right side from an explosion.

Interesting how they don't say (or perhaps know) where the scar came from. Especially since it was such a high profile incident in the local system.

Liaison Status: Initial access was secured via Darna Sabrir who was a former Phyto Cell agent. However, Sabrir has since ceased all communication with the Alliance and appears fully committed to the subject's administration (Check File Sabrir-D).

Click to shrink...

With how early Darna went dark, I wonder how many of R&D's developments the Rebels know about, and how extensively? It is one thing to see power armor and new walkers stomping around, it is quite another to have access to their blueprints and after action reports to understand how deadly they are.

The WEB: During a covert rest stop by the Specters (Phoenix Cell), unidentified actors calling themselves the WEB warned the group that they were not welcome on Ugea. Alliance Command has no further data on this organization (Check File WEB-INTEL).

Sounds like Rebel agents are in for a nasty surprise once WEB fully spreads across Las' new territory.

Risk Assessment

• Conclusion: Recruitment is strictly prohibited at this time.

This about sums up the interactions (and potential dangers) the Rebellion has with Las. They are so concerned about the Rusty Refit that they have decided to go almost completely hands off with him and his territory.

That stance preserves what is most likely a fairly important asset in this region of the galaxy. However this also completely blinds them to a lot of on the ground developments in Las' domain.

I notice that HAVEN as an organization or escaped slaves in general weren't mentioned once. They probably have no idea that they exist and that they are working closely with the ISB. If they do discover HAVEN, the Rebels might just blindly walk into their arms, not even once considering abolitionists would be working for the Empire.

Imagine if they get ahold of Kaela's presentation on the effectiveness of melee weapons wielded by LECA's. Im sure it would be very vivid and persuasive. Lots of bright color (red) to catch the eye (induce fear and revulsion).

to get back on my last post I wonder if the rebellion gets info on las and his family would some of the more extreme factions think that if they try to kidnap his mom that they might get him to either join up for her protection or if he will lock down the entire sector to look for her. which if it does happen i can see create rumors that he is a mommas boy.

I totally see Las not wanting to do anything but having to show face if only to keep the population from trying rip the sector apart with them thinking if he loses his mom he might end up going full tyrant or because they like Las so much that an attack on his family is basically an attack on the whole sector. it would be funny if he tries to send them credits to keep his mom away except they misunderstand it somehow or his mom thinks it's him paying for ransom to get her back safely which somehow works but she feels insulted at how small the payment was when it really wasn't.

The ironic thing is that she actually went all the way back to her Coruscant sublevel roots instead of doing the stereotypical "spurned elite" thing, getting the cheapest flat she could find and filling the pantry with dehydrated noodles. Basically "I'm out of a job, that means it's time to spend no money until I can get a new job."

I think it's hilarious, she's decided to just start over from the beginning and claw back her professional/social status through sheer drive and a frightening level of administrative excellence. It'll blindside anyone who thinks she's just another pampered Coreworlder, and when the shoe eventually drops everyone will "realize" that she's where Las gets it from.
