Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Mistroz]

Excellent chapter.

Watching as Las accidentally creates the Schola Progenium.

At the the mention of laxing loyalty courses and the ISB, I too said "Let them in". It would be the perfect combination of getting troops up to muster quickly, and the ISB gets to play spy and rat catcher, and possibly points of recruitment and spy insertion.

This might actually add an extra smokescreen for Las' protection. His governance model that contradicted the Tarkin doctrine at the start turned heads, but once they saw the credits rolling and the tithes arrive on time and in full, he was given a pass. His aggressive yet smooth expansion on industrial and spaceship construction through his Guild, let him pass when it was clear that the economic and political apparatus was merely there for money, not some laundering scheme.

And now the snakes in the ISB will set up nests to root out rats, and as Las' sector churns out excess troops and sailors everyone needs, people from other sectors will flock to fill the population gap, feeding the ISB with more paths to follow if they catch suspicious people and trace back their path.

Sasuga Las-Sama, truly he is a genius that surpasses all others, who else would be worthy of claiming the thrown once the Emperor slips off his chair and into the bottomless vent shaft that is in his room for some reason... they really need some OSHA in the Empire, so many health and safely violations.

I must admit, I don't know how high a position the Moff rank is, and I can't tell how many systems Las is in charge of. Does anyone have a clue, or at least can give me a short, detailed description?

I think it's fairly high since there only are the grand moffs above him
However with the size of the galaxy, there are many like him and with more important systems too
Like kuat and corellia

There are approximately 1000-1500 people who officially are on level if not outright outrank him in the galaxy (from what I can recall so feel free to fact check me)....since well Palpatine did just disband the senate in a New Hope and all.... Realistically there are far more due to tycoons and the networking/politics of the Empire but basically 10k-20k people with the pull in a galaxy with trillions of sapients is pretty damn good.

Before Palpy took over and allowed new sectors to be formed, there were 1024. I cant find a hard number in the Imperial era, but even if we assume a ten fold increase, that's still tens if millions of star systems he controls, though most are unpopulated. In disney canon, there's still 1024.

Plus there's only two ranks (nominally at least) higher than him. Grand Moff and Emperor. Unofficially, high ranking military people and certain individuals who report directly to the emperor could boss him around, but that list is very small.

Basically, less than two thousand people in the galaxy are his peers, and at most there are a few dozen people he can't tell to fuck off. Of the characters we see in the actual movies, the later consist of Palpy, Vader, and Tarkin. And Tarkin is dead at this point in the story.
