Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

Reader mode
Myr'thos is a strange character for me. Made in a fugue state at 3am, initially they felt like a mistake, just like that whole cult arc. Too forced, too rushed, you get it. Not my finest work. But that doesn't mean I want to just leave them on the wayside. While I'm still not totally sure about how to go about their character, I've got some ideas which can be glimpsed here, and I hope to do it well this time around.

On another note, Escape from Duckov? While listening to Spandau Ballet's Gold and eating Biscoff cookies? Peak, makes life worth living. Also, if any fellow Duckov fans know what those purple crate things in the Warehouse area are, I'd be forever grateful.

Chapter 80
My thoughts on this. This character might get really into food sciences. Turning poisons into tasty edible foods. Turning tasty edible foods into posions. Destroying ingredients and crafting sith inspired cuisine. Think of the waste how evil yet dectucant the charachter could be.

Just a quest chain sadly.

I wonder if one day, Las will get a priority request from Vader saying he wants his own custom LECA. All of this is to say, I'd love an interlude or Omake with Vader building a giant lightsaber for his mech.

As a player with over 20 years of experience in Tibia, WoW, RuneScape, and SWTOR, I can say that most serious PvP or PvE clans, guilds, or groups have more rules than a cult and demand commitment and loyalty.
 
oh no an MMO gamer sith. can't wait for him to pull a "i had no mana" and just abandon his team in a raid just to rage bait them only to laugh as they get taken out one by one. this of course after he pulls a Leroy Jenkins to force them to rush in with out a plan.
 
Myr'thos as the Galaxy's first Gaming Vtuber with a human model to appeal to the typical Human-Centric Imperials and casually spit out Sith lore that goes over the heads of most, imagine the Emperor tuning in to hear Myr'thos raging about the stupidity of the Sith Empire of old

If some historian Jedi is connected to technology instead of being in the wilderness the way Yoda is, I would also love to see their reaction to old Sith lore being spread over gaming channels.

Also, given that his rants would be internally consistent since it is how an actual empire functioned, either he or someone else could be involved in turning the way the Sith empire was into a video game with actual real lore, imagining Palpatine finding out that the best source for Sith lore from the old Sith empire, including how the force techniques were done, is not a holocron but a video game. He then starts playing and gets trolled by Myr'thos and sends assets trying to find the one who trolled him.

Imagine if said game was the in universe version of EVE...Palpatine looking at the history of "stunts" the playerbase has gotten up to over the years, potentially including assassinations and similar when sane people tried to ban it.

Palpy's instant mix of curiosity, panic, jealousy, confusion, annoyance, and more because it's essentially been running for force only knows how long and there's a massive pile of Sith lore bouncing around the place.

I mean there have been cases of players of the real EVE going and cutting power/internet to peoples houses over things, now imagine how much worse they'd be in the Star Wars Galaxy.

His first instinct would be to try shutting it down, until he realizes that it might end up with a pretty massive number of, essentially, Sith Lords on the loose in HIS galaxy and not under his control...

Then he starts crying...

Alternatively Palpatine could just be Myr'thos' biggest donor of funds as he asks points questions about the past and uses his part-time Sith Archeology hobby as a cover when asked, now Vader and the surviving Inquisitors I can see interacting with Myr'thos via gaming to get more information via chat.

Palpy later gets pissed off after realizing the easiest way to turn Jedi to the dark side is via video games, hardcore gamers embrace the proper Sith attitude, so now all Sith trainees are given assignments on trolling and the like to get them in the proper mindset.

Built from the mashed together souls of a hundred minor, failed Sith acolytes, Myr'thos had been a dagger in the night and a blade to be wielded by whomever held the chain. Without any unneeded organs. No gender or sexual ability. An internal biology so efficient it could subsist off of dirt for days straight. All for their master.

Oh so Myr'thros isn't just a Sith, they are a Sithspawn. That probably makes them even more terrifying to those who are forced sensitive. Imagine seeing Las show up to a speech and then suddenly this amalgam of a hundred screaming souls shows up behind him deferentially. That is definitely going to color their impression of Las.
 
I sit here having read this chapter while listening to Gold by Spandau Ballet myself...in a way I feel called out, but more in a pointing spidermen meme way than anything negative. In any case, thanks for the chapter Freefaller! Looking forward to more!
 
Mytrhos reminds me of the black cursed dragon from anime my maid dragon. (Fafnir was it?) The guy who was chilling all days playing video games, and on one instance, turned himself into hot goth girl, to pretend being his rentor girlfriend, in order to placete their parents. (So they wouldn't bothering him about lack of one and they could play video games all day.)

Same energy. The fact that they identified themselves as asexual, and draged Si for a shopping spree... Anyway, let's not ponder on this question further.

Thank you for the chapter.

Me too. Read through the whole thing in three sittings, I just couldn't stop.

I'm super curious about the partnership with the ISB agent and where that's going.

TBH I was certain that the Sith was secretly female, but the truth was even weirder.
 
Nah palpy would never….but Vader already has his isolation chamber and wouldn't be that hard for him to turn it into a gaming den. Just imagine Vader shaking the walls of his SSD and everyone's pissing themselves wondering what's up only for him to be getting roasted by a certain sith vtuber for not knowing acolyte tier sith healing techniques that would heal 95% of his burns and other assorted shit palpy said 'lol nothing I can do' too
