Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Aeroeng]

Nah it hasn't been listed just yet. In terms of ships properly slated for construction, there is a pre-order list of around 300 ships in total. Most are corvettes and frigates, some are cruisers. The current ships planned are the Vigil-Class Corvette, Raider-Class Corvette, and the Imperial Customs Corvette, along with a carrier config of the latter. Frigates haven't been chosen yet, as initial orders are solely for corvettes. The one cruiser planned for the yards is the Gladiator-Class.

Can I recommend some? Immobilizer 418 Interdictor-class Heavy Cruiser or the larger Interdictor-class heavy cruiser, theres also the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser.

Then for frigates. Might I suggest the Nebulon B. And I don't mean EC Henry. I mean, FractalSponge, a more real take on the Nebulon B. Lots of tie fighter docking there mate. EC Henry is nice but FractalSponge is good too. Also from him, I propose, the Lancer and the Indictor. One a Anti-Starfighter, the other a communications corvette. If we definitely want a combat frigate though, or a defense frigate, then how bout, the Kontos, and the System Defense Monitor, with the details found on Reddit and sourced by the man himself, Ansel Hsiao, for the System Defense Monitor.

Goliath

A Goliath is a massive walking siege battery employed by the Chimera to assault fortified military establishments or civilian positions. Each Goliath is approximately 150 feet tall, though their height has doubled to 300 feet in Resistance 3. Goliaths are primarily armed with concussion mortar...

Just a quick hint for our trusty Governor

If you want make a Droid warmachine who make the AT-AT looks like kitty use the Goliath :3

I will continue to espouse the versatility and usefulness of the Carrack Light Cruiser. Tons of firepower for its size, tons of automation can cut the crew down to 2 people, it has a Class 1 Hyperdrive AND it's top speed going in a straight line is faster than an X-Wing Starfighter. It also has some variability in weaponry between Heavy Turbo lasers, Ion Cannons or some Tractor Beams. A group of 4 of these with a fighter escort could cut apart an ISD. That's a LOT of bang for your buck.

I don't think anything droid-related would be acceptable. Remember that the Empire is sprawling with politically motivated culture, and that includes being anti-droid after the Clone Wars against the Separatists. Make it manned artillery, and you might get something, but I thought the Imperial military already has dedicated artillery vehicles.

Oof, yeah frigates are a lot trickier than cruisers for the Empire. The Imperial Navy doesn't really focus on frigates until after Yavin when Trench Run Disease starts kicking in.

The Lancer should be just coming out, but that has no capital weapons, a high crew requirement, and is slow enough that fighters, its main prey, can outrun it. The Star Galleon is nice, but has an exorbitant price tag at 17 million. The Pelta is a classic, and by classic I mean 200 years old. The Nebulons are the strongest contender for me, but that tiny, tiny midsection just screams easy kill every time.

All there? No problem, there's always this.

And THIS is piloted by a crew of people, no Droid at all.

You say this but the Dark Troopers were a sanctioned experiment to produce soldiers, several types of which were droids, heres a take on it in a hypothetical situation where Las salvages the project from the wreckage of the Arc Hammer.

1. Cybernetic and genetically augmented soldiers in power armour, Phase Zero Dark Troopers.

2. Durable combat droids to act as heavy infantry, Phase I Dark Troopers, but it'd make more sense here if they were made to replicate the Dark Troopers of Gideon we see in canon rather than the skeletal ones we see in Empire at War.

3. Heavier Combat droids to act as heavy weapons platforms working in either independant groups or supporting infantry groups, Phase II Dark Troopers.

4. Bipedal walking tanks, some were droids but Rom Mohc used one as a heavy Exosuit which would be the ideal here as an improvement and replacement for the current Exosuit. think along the lines of a power armour from Fallout, the Hellcat specifically but with the chestplate from the T-65 armour.

Point taken. I forgot about those Dark Troopers, but you have to admit that the idea of Las even getting access to this project seems ludicrous, don't you think? Let alone the fact if Las is even willing to pursue this line of research, unless someone in the Minda R&D somehow follows a parallel line of research and Las absentmindedly approves it.

This is fair, at the same time it might be a case of Minda becoming a repository for failed projects or as a support site to ensure that something survives in the event of the main project going up in flames, if a Grand Admiral saw fit to send a project that was competing with the Death Star of all things to Minda then others might have similar ideas in order to prevent total lose of research material and data, man is going to have to hollow out a mountain like Weyland at this rate to make a more secure facility.

To be fair Midna is already becoming a known research and development haven, and with the increased military presence and rampant patriotism it would be an ideal spot to have certain R&D ventures, particularly if they keep producing results as they have been. Those mech troopers look bad-ass, are intimidating (following tarkin doctrine) and have already shown their worth in taking down the zombie threat, a few chapters back. Enough so to have a sith acolyte actually endorse/request one which was likely within his preliminary report he sent back home which means that some of the top brass will he looking more seriously at this sort of stuff to bulk their forces up for the coming fight with the rebellion.

Add in whatever the ISB reports back and what the local Moff decides to kick back in terms of political support as he plays big boy Moff politics means that there is a real chance that Minda will get some kick backs and that sweet, sweet nectar of R&D grants/funding and likely limited production runs for said prototypes, until it can be offloaded to other systems for full scale production. Likely netting Las good boy points with different Moffs and Governors as he pushes that high priority target shit (for both sides to fight over) away from his neck of the woods, inadvertently netting him political capital with many of the different imperial figures, further pushing him ever closer to the seat of emperor, (not that he knows this yet).

Gary: Sir, may I ask why you're calling the new research facility Black Mesa? It's been built under a mountain, not a mesa.

Lars: Misdirection mostly, I mean I could have called it Appature Labs, but that's just tempting fate for the facility droid brain to go genocidal like the last time. And I know for a fact that my eggheads aren't fiddling with multidimensional McGuffins, so there's a minimal chance of what happened to the original happening here.

Gary: ......ok.
