Ground troops tended to be outfitted with LECA's, some APCs and tanks, and AT-STs if they had them. The Storm Walker, or AT-SW, fixed that by providing heavy firepower without the sheer size of the AT-AT.

Excellent, the Empire is surprisingly lacking in a compact heavy armor support option, that'll shore them up nicely when someone comes to start trouble.

Lord Captain, are you aware that Opticon-22 will happily continue to reimburse you for planetary survey data beyond the initial deal? There are quite a few planets in the Koronus Expanse, making a few extra trips back to Footfall is quite worth the trouble.

Those two designs were the Dreadnought-II and the Storm Walker.

Meanwhile, at the Mynock Arms Dreadnought development office:
"Hans, we need to replace the lethargic reactor."
"More laser canons you say?"
"Nien, better reactor."
"Bigger hanger bay you say?"
"Goddamn it Hans."
"Oh! Spinal railgun launched ship killing missiles!"
"…"
"Ja Hans, Ja."

"Exactly." Ife nodded, hologram more stable than any I'd ever seen thanks to the upgraded holonet. Color holo-calls were next I tell you.

Isn't coloured holo-calls super expensive and can only be afforded by the super rich from the core worlds?

Dear Force I struggle to think of how many Governors panicked when they read those requirements. A lot of cram courses were undertaken to keep their jobs. Courses they should have taken in the first place with this kind of work.

It wasn't easy, and to be certain it wasn't as though I'd replaced every single Governor. No, I started slow as all these things go, but it was progressing well. And as more systems gained better Governors, more systems prospered.

Citizens: "What is this? What are you doing?"

New Governors: "Governance?"

Citizens: "What does that word mean? Is it like exploitation? Are we going to have to pay a surprise tax for it?"

Local Imperial courts were being revamped to create new local law systems. Sure, I couldn't do away with galactic law, but I could make local laws better overall.

Citizen: "You mean you look at the facts of the case and don't just decide based on who bribes you more?"

Judge: "Strange I know, but the Moff is being weird like always."

I'd done other things during that time as well. More industrial contracts both in and out of the sector. New infrastructure, using newly found coaxium as a major selling point. That resource was unimaginably valuable, and got me some very nice tax reductions from the Governor-General in exchange for selling primarily to local markets.

Combined with the other tax reductions Las secured, I wouldn't be surprised if people from outside the sector moved their assets and accounts to Myto. Las is unintentionally creating a tax haven and it is going to lead to a lot more capital available when the Empire falls and all those investors probably either flee here or get killed.

Both designs filled a niche in the current military. The Dreadnought-II was the complement to the Arbiter-II, the brawn to its brain, being heavily armed while maintaining some fighter capacity. Not to mention this redesign could work on older hulls, allowing for the shortening and cheapening of construction times.

The anti-Big Ship doctrine continues. Who needs battleships over a kilometer long for most duties?

The Storm Walker on the other hand filled the niche of heavy fire support for ground missions. The Mytoan Sector Army didn't use many AT-AT's, if any at all. They had become a rare sight.

Ground troops tended to be outfitted with LECA's, some APCs and tanks, and AT-STs if they had them. The Storm Walker, or AT-SW, fixed that by providing heavy firepower without the sheer size of the AT-AT.

If the AT-STs are removed or unavailable, that could easily be an entire ground force of just Mytoan designs at this point. Will really make Mytoan forces distinct from other Imperial remnant forces who just scrounge up older Imperial equipment.

Time to murder us a cyborg crime lord. Raze's criminal empire is due for a razing.
 
I'm surprised, star wars already has the two modified dreadnought class upgrade variants particularly used by the rebel alliance.

I feel that when Las finds out about Luke Skywalker's serial to Myto Sector, his reaction would be more or less "nope, nope, nope..."
 
Las panicking over the pirates not attacking them during a pirate wave. Meanwhile the rebels in the background working in parallel with imperial intelligence to kill anyone who looks at the myth sector because it become one of their indispensable Funding and Supply points. (We just got access to new gunships! Gunships! It still has the new ship smell! And the plastic wrap is still intact! And the parts haven't been stolen from a scrap yard! 'Weeping intensifies') - Rebel logistics officer
