Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Yacov]

Only to get a call as soon as my ship entered the system. Seeing that it was Representative Kabbas from the Shipyard Workers Assembly, informally the Union, I answered quickly.

It was always a good idea to keep on the good side of your workers, after all, and being seen as proactive in the relationship is conducive to that.

Given how you put the fear of the Force in Kabbas in the last meeting, I am sure there is no room for misunderstandings.

For a second, I sat there flabbergasted. Construction companies? Connections?? Then I remembered that offhand comment I made about wishing there were more construction companies I could contract to expand the population.

That pause was definitely not ominous and stress inducing on Kabbas' end.

Composing myself, I replied quickly. "Thank you, Representative. Please send their contact details to the head of the Office of Planetary Contracts and Acquisitions, please. She'll handle the rest."

The department head was, of course, Oioro. After her stellar performance fleecing KDY, I put her in charge of negotiating just about every contract private entities made with Minda. Darna had her own people over on Edin.

Corporations are going to loathe and fear her. At least Las has a good gatekeeper for Corporations trying shenanigans.

Just as he left, I got a report on my PDA about rising immigration in the system. Nothing unusual, and we usually end up turning many away due to housing concerns, but there's been a recent uptick in accepted immigrant families.

Almost all are…Sullustan. Not a whole lot of them, but of the recently accepted families, nearly 60% were Sullustan.

Strange…but nothing of concern. If they got accepted, it's because they have valuable skills, so there shouldn't be any problems.

I am sure this isn't the start of a massive wave of migration. People don't tend to migrate towards places that already have ethnic enclaves do they? Sullust only has what, at least a billion people?

All of these requirements made construction a tad more difficult, but in the end I think it was worth it. Some people had started visiting Accordia on vacation because of it.

And the mish-mash of cultures as well. The fusion food here is insane.

Ugea having a city tourism industry when Dubrillion is around the galactic corner is insane. Guess Minda has reached interesting small city status.

And where there wasn't a rug or carpet, there shone an exorbitant hardwood floor polished to a mirror-like sheen. Every table was made by some famous designer, every piece of furniture worth more than quadruple my salary.

A reminder for all the power Las has, he still isn't paying himself well. If his finances get leaked, I can imagine his public support will somehow skyrocket even more.

Rich people are wild man.

My gaze locks onto the aforementioned pride and joy while digging up information from the dossier. Gloriana Dragnati was a young woman a few years my senior, around 4 or so, sporting her fathers tanned skin, if just a shade darker from her mothers side. With long, curling, practically neon red hair, it provided quite the contrast.

Regardless of her choice of hair dye, the dossier had more interesting things to say about her, though her father beat my mind to recollect the information.

It could be far worse Las. Her hair could be in a rectangular Nova Sundari-style, or put into solloops.

Regaining my composure, and ignoring whatever bullshit her father was talking about, some dinner plans or whatever, I focused entirely on her.

"Miss, how would you like a job?"

"...Huh?"

When you try to get your daughter a powerful husband and she winds up with a successful career in a rapidly growing sector.

Instead, I'll just have an investigative team dispatched to ensure things get smoothed over.

Send Myr'thos, I am sure that will go well.

You ever listened to Tron: Legacy soundtrack? The 2010 one? The one made by Daft Punk?
Now that shit slaps so fucking hard.

I did not know that those existed and vomited in my mouth because of it. The Deathstar would be too nice of a fate for the worlds that allowed those abominations to exist.
