Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Freefaller]

I wonder if Las will be interacting with the Dark Forces plot at all, either before (Rom Mohc doing research into various infantry programmes to see what is already available prior to approaching the Emperor/Vader) or during (Rom Mohc coming across reference to the MC's own work on infantry equipment or damage Kyle Katarn does to the secret mining facilities requiring that he looks for replacement sources and/or one of those planets is within Las's territory and he has to respond to the aftermath of Kyle's rampage) or after (Rom Mohc is dead and Vader is left with only partial data and is now looking either for someone to carry on the research or a replacement investment opportunity to strengthen his own ground forces, his search leading him to references to our suits)?

I have no idea what any of that is, is it from one of those old legends games?

Actually somewhat canon to the old star wars universe given how Kyle Katarn himself was canonised

From 95', it was where the original Dark Troopers idea comes from. Great game

I wonder if this will cause Las to ensure that his systems are protected and won't be able to be used like this again in future by the Imps or Rebels

oh that explains it, way before my time. I'm gonna have to read up on the lore of these games, people bring stuff up from them all the time

 

[Huh. probably true yeah]

Those classic starwars games are inherently entertaining, the live action cutscenes are a very fun type of corny. It reminds me of Command and Conquer, and that Tim Curry meme about "SPACE!" The series has a few mechs and vehicles that remind me of Starwars' style. Sort of an allusion to engineering, with complete willingness to handwave the details. Another poster also mentioned Battletech, which can definitely work...selectively. It's an ancient series with a lot of contributors but some match an inperial Aesthetic, maybe the 'King Crab?'

Huh il be damned but just found out that XS Stock Light Freighter is a canon ship and is still in use in the Imperial Era... which means that more than likely that the other SWTOR ships are canon and can even be still in use, and also in legends a blue Defender-Class Light Corvette get's stolen by Luke and Leia in the comic Rebel Heist Issue 4 in 3 ABY... to bad that Luke didn't keep it for himself as it's unofficial name used to be the Jedi Defender. Do Luke some justice and at least have him keep the ship by having him find out that little tidbit about the ship class's history.

But the biggest reason for me to bring this up in relevance to this story is that you can actually when making you alternative POV's with characters invloving the guild have some of the traders use XS Stock's, and if the files with the schematics for that ship and the Defender is still around that means the files with the schematics of the Imperial ships from SWTOR should also be around. This could justify Las being able to upgrade the Arbiters carrying capacity to be the same as the Harrower-Class in the future if he or some of his R&D people get's a hold of those schematics.

Something that is actually very probable as the neighbouring Raioballo Sector was one of the sectors that came under attack and was annexed by the Reconstituted Sith Empire when they started their attack on the Republic when they finally emerged. While the Myto Sector it seems was Republic held during this time i would guess that it was home to plenty of battles of that conflict, so some of the planets could actually hold schematics from this time period within their databases. If not then Myto might be like Hoth and have some preserved derelicts if it has planets with conditions that could do so like the Ice prison planet, just buried deep waiting for someone to stumble upon them.

Now even if the Myto Sector doesn't have any of that then the Raioballo Sector which is it's direct neighbour would since as i said the whole sector was annexed into the Empire early on in the Great Galactic War that lead to the Cold War, so you could get the funny situation of the Moff of the Raioballo Sector calling Las and asking why he's making Harrowers after having seen the data on the Arbiter-Class and sending him the data on the Harrower-class because of his confusion. Heck if you go with this then you might as well have him send over data on other ships from that era, and Las could use that to being production of a modern Terminus-class Destroyer or Cruiser as that is what it would be classified under the Anaxes War College classification system, and a modernized Fury-class Interceptor to be used as a executive armed transport and Special Forces armed transport and mobile headquarters...

Would be real funny to see Palpatine's reaction to these ships coming out of the Myto Sector as he would actually know of them thanks to being a Sith and having access to data on these. Would be even more funny if Palpatine ends up ordering a Fury for himself and perhaps even Vader but since he needs it to be of the topmost quality sends over his top ship technicians to install the very best tech that HE has available and Vader to oversee the construction.
