Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Morkail]

Thanks for the chapter.

Never looked in to the whole AI thing keep seeing it I find it curious. Should loop it up sometime.

So the grand admiral is off with the whales not to return till after the empires fall, so it's the Disney timeline…. Truly the worst timeline. lol.

Real interested in finding out if he will get dragged in to the poltices of the empire and what he will do after the empire falls. Join the republic? Remain independent? Reform the CIS? Who the hell knows.

Can you spell City for me, Usla?"

"Uh…" she faltered for a second, before giving it a shot. "C…I…T…Y?"

He smiled. "That is correct!" turning back to the projector, the words Edin City appearing over the model.

The picture zoomed out, showcasing the environment surrounding the city.

"Now" said the Professor, "Edin City sits on top of a large plateau. Can anyone guess how plateau is spelled?"

Some tried, but it was a new word, and none could get past the T.

"Good tries, all of you. Plateau is spelled P, L, A, T, E, A, U. Note this down in your notebooks, please. It will be on your homework sheets tonight."

Probably been asked and answered before, but does anyone know why they're teaching kids High Galactic instead of Aurubesh?

I heard aurabesh has some compatibility issues with certain sites and since the OP posts on several sites it might be a factor

So is Thrawn dead-dead or only mostly dead? it's been a while but I thought he dies after Vader and Palp shuffle off this mortal coil?

So was checking and we seem to only have 2 potential ground armies lists.(If I missed yours sorry please respond with a quote link to it and I'll modify this to include it)

The one by me:

My order would be
200 X All-Terrain Exploration Droid (AT-ED) 8,900 credits
40 X Imperial-class 1-H repulsortank 50,000 credits
50 X Compact Assault Vehicle/Wheeled PX-10 25,000 credits
10 X HCVw A9 turbo tank 180,000 credits
1,250,000+1,800,000+2,000,000+1,780,000=5,930,000
5,930,000/9 million Credits used
The Rest can go to increase the number of LA-AG's(As we have no concrete price number for them)

and the one by Alearin:

For the ground force's vehicles I would go with the below:
4x HAVw A6 Juggernaut: As a mobile base to stage reactionary/guard forces as it can house up to 300 troops, has good comms and sensors, and can travel at a decent speed. Wiki has them as 180k but that is the same price as the HCVw_A9_turbo_tank which has replaced it, so it should be cheaper. Using the 10% discount price for 4 is 648,000 credits (720,000).

222x A-19 "Iron Crawler" armored transports: Made by the Corellia Mining Corporation to protect their mining interests in remote parts of the galaxy. Robustly designed, decently armed and armored, able to transport 8 passengers, 4 crew, and a good amount of cargo for an inexpensive 12.5k a unit. Should function well as an APC and secure transport. Plus Las just signed a big new deal with another Corellian company might as well expand the contacts. Assuming no discount 2,775,000 credits.

375x All Terrain Reconnaissance Transport: Patrol routes/installations, scout with the sensors and sound-baffling systems, and escort unarmed transports. Used by the Empire until 'upgrading' to the AT-ST, this are dirt cheap at 8k a piece. Can be bought in large numbers to augment ground forces punch and movement. Bonus is the pilot is too high off the ground for the zombies to easily get. Cheap mods could further enclose the cockpit. Assuming 10% discount 2,700,000 credits (3 mill).

20x Imperial-class 1-H repulsortank: For when you need that extra punch. They are heavily armed and armored but can still travel at 300kmp and carry a good amount of cargo. Can form the backbone of smaller fast reaction forces or group them all together for some serious firepower. 45k a piece assuming 10% discount 900,000 credits (1 million)

25x XL-3c Guardsman Patrol Airspeeder: A scouting/rapid transport option. The Guardsman comes equipped with Multiple Life-form scanners, Chemical sniffers, Radiation sniffers, Motion sensors, Multi-Optic sensor suites, and Cameras. Can operate at a height of up to 150 kilometers with 12 passengers. This would allow for fast scouting and deployment of troops where needed. Cost is pretty cheap as well at 39,000 credits for a total of 975,000.

Total cost is 7,998,000 credits with discounts and 8,470,000 without discounts.

Extra money can be spent on Viper Probe Droids at 12.5k credits a piece and/or Recon Remotes at 250 credits a piece for boosting I.S.R. capabilities.

Edited to add in the 25 Guardsman Patrol Airspeedrs. Subtracted 78 A-19s to not effect total costs.

So, if anyone else has any it'd be a good idea to post.

I also use AI for name generation, or to help fill in the blanks of worldbuilding, like this, or in my original work I use it to make gangs or companies to fill out the political landscape.

You can use this video as a cheat sheet to come up with names for places or characters. Toriyama used alcohol, vegetables and underwear for his character names, plus cunderella lyrics. Bibidi Babidi Bu.

I don't think flamethrowers are a good idea because unless you can instantly incinerate the zombie you'd just end up getting mauled by a flaming zombie instead of a regular one.

It's a warhammer meme. My real recommendation for weapons in this situation would be the EE-4 carbine rifle, because of how short it is and the high rate of fire, with the SX-21 scattergun as back up (pump shotgun ). Also why not an energy shield, like the gungans use. Those are useful in so many situations. Not sure why we don't have them already.

If we're talking firearms there is always the Imperial Repeater Rifle. The thing has two firing modes, tri-shot burst and long range precision. Both useful for hunting wretches rather than the Jedi it was designed for.

The downsides were most sentients needing assistance to wield it single handedly, and the tri-shot mode chewing through a lot of ammo. The former can be solved with the exoskeleton, and the latter is a bonus with Las wanting to burn through money.

The Mindan Heavies will be the most feared Heavy Troopers in the Sector. They could be called the Mindan Exterminators, only for people to get the exact wrong impression.

'Even Stormtroopers call for backup' movie-style poster.

Cue footage of the Mindans SWAT-style breaking into a Spice ring/pirate den holding a Senator hostage by ignoring the door and just blasting a hole in the wall with either explosives or by ramming through it with a breaching vehicle.

Senator saved, bad guys blown apart, Mindans seen giving out candy to the local children while being interviewed on the news.

Or some smoky battlefield and the Mindans are marching through blaster fire like Astartes walking through rain and just mowing down whoever doesn't surrender.

 

[Alearin]

With the 'zombies' being resistant to blasters, I wonder if large caliber slug throwers might be the better way to go. Maybe grenades/mines since they like to group up and zerg rush things.

I wonder how smart/controlled they are and if the could be baited into traps/kill zones fairly easily with noise, heat, and/or a solider acting as bait.

 

[Fearless444]

Bunch of Mindans Troopers in power or semi power armor carrying E webs it would be glorious

 

[paxus22]

so when do we get the starship troper / helldiver style recruitment posters/vids? i think that wil fit mindan/MC perfect

 

[Andrew1993]

Ground plans look decent enough, only thing id do would be add a few tx130s to bolster the QRF Firepower since tx130x have 2 heavy laser cannons, a turret mounted twin medium lasercannon or beam cannon, and dual missile launchers plus its shield generator to increase suvivability
Tho i am biased towards alearins order, not a fan of px-10 at all
