Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

Incorrect. I started in NSFW because there will be gore in the future, and because everyone posts in the NSFW thread regardless. However, in an authors note, I mentioned there would be no smut. A mod then moved it here because there will be no smut. I haven't bothered trying to correct them.
Mmm well they should not have moved it unless you requested it. as it is not required to have NSFW content to be posted in that section.

Want it moved back?
 
Rothana is not in the ass end of nowhere, it's in THE ass end of nowhere (by design since it was supposed to be a secret blacksite far from politics be they internal ot external), it's beyond the galactic disk and has a complicated security network (that the disney canon ignored completly in favour of making a silly short story about tarkin's personal corvette getting hijacked) i bet it would cost Kuat more to ship the resources there (while simultaenously compromising the integrity of it's defense meaning the only reason they bothered to maintain it is now gone) and whatever they might be capable of making from contracts would be insufficient to justify taking them, to Kuat it's a loss and since they have a massive ring around their planet dedicated to making ships (these fuckers managed to (almost) build the Eclipse 1 there, in SECRET, you know the 17,5km ship with a superlaser that only got discovered because Tyber-Gary Zann-Stuu needed it's navicomputer data, btw why the hell would the eclipse 1 have any of the data regarding palp's secret safehouses, that's the stuff you add after it's finished) the 20 berths described in the chapter are laughably inconsequential to them even if we assume they can build something bigger than an Acclamator and weren't left behind due to the cost of transporting them and adding them to the Kuat ring being far too big compared to whatever it was that the Kuati took from Rothana
As a side note most of Kuat and Corellia's support facilities are spread throughout their immediate galactic area near their named planets. It was stated that all the offsite locations of the two could nearly match the main systems. Which is impressive when you consider one system has several inhabited and heavily industrialized planets with enough shipyards that it is basically the space trucker's go to ships and the other has a mock up (poor man version) of the Mechanicum's Ring of Iron at Mars.

Maybe we can use the license for the Acclamators that Rothana Heavy Engineering have to trade with Kuat Drive Yards for the license for the Imperial Nebulon b.

The Imperial Nebulon b is not produced by Kuat Drive Yards, and we have use for a Patrol ship, and support ship for our larger ships.
 
Do you have any idea how many component parts are inside something the size of a star destroyer
I think its somewhere along the thousands of uniqe parts alone, which were then duplicated to make same things over and over again. And then again, its probably more, cause SOMEBODY (*cough*Trade Federation) probably patented "door entrance model 1" and other usual things we arent even think about.

That is a lot of liscenses you need to get access to.
That is, if the patent is still in power.
Otherwise, he can order his ppl to pull "free-use" one from other sources.
And IF he dont just decide to up-scale and upgrade produced in-house cargohaulers and arm them.
 
Won't it still take years for it to produce ships? Wait, how long does Kuat need to pump out Star Destroyers anyways?
It's a matter of parallel production. I want to say several years per ship, but given that the Clone Wars raged for all of three, you can probably crank out a capital ship in one year if you're playing with fully developed infrastructure and willing to pay premium for triple shifts and importing everything which can be outsourced.

But, forget ISDs. You don't need destroyers unless you're planning on fleet battles or Base Delta Zero's. For pirate hunting, convoy escort, and anti-rebel patrols? Corvettes and frigates are more than enough. Even cruisers are a bit overkill. Get local production of smaller warships, and watch your sphere of influence grow as your sector remains blissfully free of pirates and "pirates" - because you can bet more than a few Moffs are taking the obvious means of padding their own supplies with that of a rivalling neighbor...
 
Chapter 50
My thoughts on this chapter... exactly how fast can they get those shipyards to Minden when the mc only assigns someone to bring them to his system that is competent.
My guess, when he is not watching bulk movement records will happen.
 
Considering that its first owner is listed as "Wilhuff Tarkin", as in the same Wilhuff Tarkin who just died on the first Death Star in this story, I'd say yes.
Actually it should be sitting at that ship yard when mc subordinate travels to pick them up. They could probably pick it up before terex does.
 
Yes, for now, it will probably be smaller ships. Although I would love to see him build modern Harrowers and Terminus. (Who actually owns the licenses for those?)
Whoever can find an intact schematic for them obviously, pretty sure any records went kaput during the Light and Darkness War era of the New Sith Wars and effective technological collapse that came about due to the conflict.

I'm pretty sure the only major difference between the two ships was size, so you could really just scale the Gladiator up a bit. The hard part would be negotiating for the design of a whole new workable standard blueprint for the design with KDY.

If we are talking making ships for Las' own purposes, it might be worth using these new shipyards to make Pursuit Light Cruisers and just make both that and the Gladiator to save the fuss. Should be easy to get ahold of both designs given they are main Imperial designs and Las is in the Imperial Military. Both the Gladiator and Pursuit can be divided into separate roles with the Gozanti still remaining useful.

Especially since any naval expansion might have to be handled with Las' own resources. Ordering anything larger than a frigate from larger shipyards is about to get a lot harder now that the Galactic Civil War has kicked off proper. Las is nowhere near important enough to get in front of that cue, no matter how large the bribe.

Have a couple of Gladiators be the main ship for terrestrial campaigns or invading a large station. While the more numerous Pursuits be in charge of pure naval actions, leading beefier patrols and actions against small Rebel fleets. Meanwhile the Gozantis get busted down to Corvette duty. Doing system guard duty and small convoy escorts or as small elements of a larger fleet.

Still Never? Like I'd respect it, but instead of being a scarred up raisin of a man our Governor could be a galaxy class hedonist. Like I can respect if that's not the way you want to go, but when I see "Gen" or "No relationships" I tend to view fics a bit like a disposable cardboard box.
 
even without smut the fake/tease harem genre I s still funny as f. the whole galaxy thinks he has a harem and he's just clueless to it all lol

gotta luv the anime misunderstanding trope lol

That reminds me of the Imperial Gozanti Gunship i saw one time on reddit, 12 laser turrets (4 on the wings where the Tie docking ports would be and their placement mirrored with another 4 dorsally and the final 4 being distributed equally between the for and aft with one ventrally and the other dorsally. Add to that 2 Tie docking ports along the centerline to encourage a purchase of the Tie upgrade package alongside the vessel itself and voila! A perfect ship for the underfunded governors in the outer rim.

Omake: Blood in the Void

POV Orrbck the Trash Pontiff, unnamed system near Kaddak, 0ABY

"Your eminence! Message came through."

Orrbck directed a stalk away from their Mitochondria Crunchy Surprise. This distraction better be worth it, or they'd descale this lesser with their own appendages.

"Well, whad are you waiding for? Gib ib here!"

Orrbck snatched the data pad from the lesser's hands. Really, only having 4 appendages at all times was such a burden for them. They'd be pitiable if Orrbck bothered to consider them.

"Now dis is inderesding. Seems mudual friends broughd a gifd!"

This "mutual friends" person had come out of the junk heap once the Empire began snubbing everyone pseudopods. They were a great blessing to Orrbck's holy work. Guiding their forces to many sacred sites left over from before the Empire. They even had the wisdom to leave the more Sanctified vessels under his care.

Working with this "mutual friends" was much better than ArrMuck's plan. Following the Empire's wake like a lesser rummaging for scraps in that one system. What was it called? Tavin or something.

"Dose Mynocks in Rothana habe emerged from their holes!"

The data pad noted the KDY corporate-security fleet's continuing departure from the system. Not even the Clone Wars had been able to get them out of that bolt hole of theirs. This could only mean one thing: a divine sign that they are leaving behind junk!

"Errsk! Brrrepare da fleed! Der is holy work do be done!"

The instruments of Orrbck's crusade must be immaculate. The Pelta had to be slimed down and ready to receive all the blessed detritus waiting for them. They couldn't help but jiggle at the thought of all that sweet trash.

If any less pious scavengers tries to take Orrbck's claim, that is what their squad of beatified DP20 Gunships was for. Modified to their tastes with four Beauties bolted on for extra fighter support. They should be more than enough to handle any competition or sentimental hoarders Kuat leaves behind.

"Dis is our momend! Blessings and boundy awaids us! Granded by the Angel of Taxations and Imports!"

This could be Orrbck's chance to get back in the good graces of the Holy Ugor Taxation Collection Agency! They might even realize their error and have Orrbck's excommunication revoked!

Really, calling Orrbck a sinner just because of their Preemptive Garbage Collection techniques. These ships and cargo would have wound up in disposal eventually. Not like the lessers aboard mattered.

"Dey mighd even led me indo the sysdem of Baradise without charging the Ceremonial Donation! Onward! Salvation Awaids!"

——

"Hey Errsk, why do let the slime ball talk to you like that? You're their second in command, they should respect you more."

The Trandoshan looked at his fellow pirate like he was crazy.

"Are you kidding? Boss Orrbck might talk a big game and the workplace is covered in slime more often than not. However when it comes time to divide the booty, Orrbck is a a blessing from the Scorekeeper. Always takes the worst stuff as "relics" and leaves the valuable stuff for the crew.

I've put my clutchmate through technician academy in under a year working for them. Stick with us kid, and you'll see how many of boss Orrbck's "miracles" turn out to be genuine."

The new recruit looked intrigued, but unconvinced.

"Just don't put me in one of those Uglies strapped to the DP20s. Looks liable to fly off in Hyperspace."

——

This Omake is brought to you by the fact in canon these theocratic garbage worshipping Oozes called Ugors managed to steal the DS1's Gravity Well Tether post-Yavin and make it their Holy of Holies in their "System of Paradise" i.e. system wide junkyard.
