I allow between ten and fifteen minutes for voting depending on the importance of the issue and how divided the vote is. If the vote is tied up, I usually allow an extra five minutes for a tiebreaker, and if no one votes, I roll for the tiebreaker The will of the Dark Side.

I always try to incorporate (and encourage!) write-ins if they don't violate the spirit of voted decisions, though I may edit or tweak them to fit better.

>Alana x Vende Lewd (NEW)
https://pastebin.com/DfJYzkjG

Your night with Vende had been unexpected, to say the least. You’d learned a bit more about the enigmatic Grand Inquisitor’s past, seen an unnerving and grotesque stage play, were given an ancient lightsaber as a gift, and of course, you’d also ended up sleeping with him.

The early morning light of Byss’s cyan sun streams in through the half-closed window shades, casting long, deep shadows across the bed you lay in, naked beneath the plush covers. Outside you can hear the rhythmic roar and crash of the waves. You hadn’t intended things to end up this way and were actually feeling rather down about yourself.

It obviously wasn’t your first time making love, but you couldn’t shake that dirty feeling that always clung to you afterward. What felt good in the heat of the moment felt hollow afterward. That wasn’t to say that you hadn’t enjoyed it, or that you wouldn’t do it again, but you couldn’t help but wonder how Vende would feel about you now.

Beside you Vende lies still, breathing softly.

You face his back and study the curve of his shoulder blades and the subtle topography of his muscles. It hadn’t been that long before that you’d been with a subordinate of yours, Captain Vells. Been with him physically, that is, something which went against more regulations than you could count. It felt necessary at the time, a good way to release some stress, but it seemed like his feelings for you ran deeper than just physical. In fact, he’d asked you on a date, one you’d left him obviously confused about.

You sigh quietly and pull the sheets tighter around you. Battle maneuvers you understood, even court politics you followed with ease. It was interpersonal relationships that often left you flummoxed.

Turning over you see on the nightstand beside you your silver lightsaber handle standing upright on the three curved prongs that protruded from its base. You weren’t sure what you were going to do with it exactly, it was a wonderful gift but it also raised questions about your relationship with the Grand Inquisitor.

It’s quite early in the morning and cold in bed. You’d love to pretend your problems don’t exist, but you have to move forward.

You pull yourself close behind Amenge, your arms around him, savoring his warmth. The fleet was waiting for you, but you felt it could wait a bit longer. Long enough to at least say a proper goodbye.

Amenge hardly stirs at your activity, lying peacefully, a peace you wish you felt.

You allow yourself a few more minutes of relaxation before you felt your thoughts begin to wander. Unable to remain still any longer, you carefully disentangled yourself and got out of bed shivering in the cold air. After a short hunt, you find your dress and pulled it on, since it was the only clothes you had and then you left the bedroom, closing the door softly behind you and proceeding downstairs.

“Admiral Lady Alana Tyrna.”

The metallic voice startles you and you almost gasp. How such an aged butler droid could sneak around was beyond you.

“Yes,” You say, unsure if this was a statement or a question.

“The master of the house is indisposed at the moment,” the droid intones.

This is patently obvious since you were just with him, but you feel an inkling of doubt in your mind

“Grand Inquisitor Amenge? Or his father?”

“Yes.”

You roll your eyes. Useless. “Droid, can you prepare breakfast?”

“Yes, Lady Tyrna.”

You stare at the motionless droid a moment longer. “Well see to it.”

“Yes, Lady Tyrna.” It turns in place, metal feet thumping down on the stone floor before its head swivels back to you. “You will pardon my absence. You may be seated in the study, but I advise you not to wander.”

You’ve never felt more judged by a droid as its sensor eyes sweep over your body, before it trudges off to the kitchen, leaving you alone in the expansive entry hall of the Amenge Estate. You’re again struck by how quiet this place is. Even in your own home, your mother was always rattling around, playing some music or holofilm, or calling a friend.

Part of you wonders what other interesting artifacts Amenge my have lying about, no matter how improper snooping might be.

We need to protect what we love, not destroy what we hate. That's how we'll beat the Republic and Thrawn.

You stare daggers at the back of the droid. You can roam if you want to, you don’t think Vende would mind.

Once the butler vanishes around the corner, you being your wanderings. The grand entry hall itself is mostly uninteresting, save a large oil painting of an ancient Amenge ancestor who shares Vende’s eyes. Aside from a few dull vases, the room is bare. Instead, you start following side passages in the cavernous house, your bare feet making your passage virtually silent, though the icy floor doesn’t do you any favors.

You find the study the droid mentioned, its expansive shelves are bare, not a single book or holotape remains. The lone sofa is moth-eaten and threadbare but a picture window has a fantastic view of an emerald bay outside.

Closing the door behind you, you continue your search finding a closet of cleaning supplies and a guest bedroom that is perfectly neat and tidy save a thin layer of dust on everything.

A soft sound behind you makes you whirl in fright, peering down the empty hallway behind you. Once you’re satisfied that the droid isn’t coming to find you, you continue along.

Another empty bedroom greets your next exploration, this one appears to be a master bedroom with a vast canopy bed and a few seats and sofas gathered by an empty fireplace. The dresser drawers have been pulled and lay scattered about on the floor. It’s apparent to you that this room hasn’t been used for years. You also note on the wall across from the bed is a clean spot where you suspect a large painting or picture once hung.

(1/2)

It’s clear to you that Vende’s butler isn’t cutting it around here for the level of uncleanliness you’ve found so far. No wonder the droid advised you against wandering.

The last door you find is some kind of office or- more accurately- trophy room. Its wood-paneled walls are full of all sorts of points of interest. Antique blasters, stuffed animal heads and limbs, swords, both physical and newer things like lightsabers. A tattered CIS banner is draped on one wall, though it looks to be in need of a good spot cleaning. Dead center ahead of you is what you suspect is the missing painting you saw earlier. It’s a large oil painting of a family, you recognize Vende’s mother and father right away. A rotund man with a hooked scowl and a hatchet-faced wife with blank, hard eyes. Wedged between them is a small, unhappy child shadowed by two overbearing parents.

The child, you know, has long since grown into a man.

By far though, the most interesting things in the room were the two stasis tubes and the corpses they hold.

The left one contains the body of a woman, her head wrenched around, almost backward by some kind of titanic force. The right one holds the body of a portly man though he’s been cut mostly to pieces, his extremities piled in haphazardly, his petrified face is frozen in a scream but his eyes are glazed over. The body is bloodless, his wounds all cauterized

You grab the door frame and hold tight, staring in shock at the gruesome sight. The stasis tubes that hold them have kept them fresh, almost as fresh as the day they died, but that was clearly years ago. They have no labels, but you can identify Lord and Lady Amenge, Vende’s parents.

You’re breathing hard, trying to make sense of what you’re seeing. Nearly a full minute passes before you regain your wits and back out of the room, closing the door.

The Grand Inquisitor has apparently preserved his parents' corpses for display. You see no logic to it.

You turn away from the trophy room and walk as fast as you dare back toward the entry hall. Those cuts looked like lightsaber wounds. Was it possible that Vende had killed them both?

You could vividly imagine him standing over their bodies, his mother’s spine twisted into a knot, his father hacked to death, Vende’s eyes flaring yellow, his skin reflecting the red of his lightsaber.

Shaking your head, you try to clear this vision from your mind. Vende was the Grand Inquisitor so you never imagined that is hands were totally clean per se, but . . . this . . .

“Alana.”

You practically jump out of your skin, turning to see Amenge descending the stairs, lightsaber in hand.

“You forgot this.” He extends the handle to you.

“Oh, thank you.”

His eyes linger on you for a second. Perhaps a second too long and you find yourself wondering how much of your thoughts he can read.

Vende smiles before handing you the saber. “I trust you slept well.”

“Yes.”

He stares at you again, as if measuring you.

“Master Vende, breakfast will be served soon,” the droid says, stomping into the room.

“Thank you.” Vende doesn’t look away from you. “You look stunning, Alana.”

“Thank you,” you say, feeling like maybe you’ve said that too much, trying to calm your nerves, telling yourself that the bodies are probably explainable. Perhaps they were murdered by Jedi and Amenge keeps them around to remind himself what he is fighting against.

Even in your head, it sounds silly.

“Alana,” Amenge takes a step closer to you, “I have to ask you something.”

“Yes?” Your heart races, your hand clenching the saber handle.

“This is a bit uncouth but, I wanted to ask if you might . . . consider us . . . ah-” he smiles broader, “Well if I might consider us to be together. Or . . . “ he trails off, that placid smile fading almost imperceptibly. “I’d like to codify our relationship.”

You gawk a moment, trying to determine the best way to respond. “I... there’s a lot to consider, Vende. How it might affect my career for instance. You know as well as I were our focus and allegiances lie, I don’t know if i can commit myself so fully to something like that.”

Vende’s face goes from confusion to amusement. “Alana, I’m not asking you to marry me right now. I’m asking if we’re dating.”

“Oh.” You feel your skin flush a bit with embarrassment.

“I’m flattered that you’re already considering it, but really we only just met and no matter how close we’ve become, surely we still hold secrets. Things yet to learn about each other.”

“Yes,” you say, trying not to think of his parents again.

“From your answer, I take it that you’re not looking for a relationship. Nothing that serious anyway. Is that right?”

You remember your father’s warning about Darksiders, but you also think you’re perfectly capable of making your own decisions.

“Wife is too much,” you agree, “But girlfriend, I can do.”

The smile returns to his face, this time reaching his eyes. “Alana, wonderful!” He pulls you into an unexpectedly tight hug. “I’m truly grateful.” Something seems to change in him, “But I’m afraid I’ll have to see you off. I have an important meeting to attend shortly, and I don’t think it would do to have one of the Emperor’s admirals with me.”

“No,” you agree, “Certainly not. It’s been a pleasure, Vende.”

“Likewise. Stay in touch?”

“I’ll send you a message once I reach my flagship.”

He leans in to give you a gentle kiss. “I’ll wait with bated breath.”

After a few more minutes of goodbyes, you step from the manor, returning to your shuttlecraft for the trip back to your orbiting fleet. You’re feeling a lot of things right now, but right now what worries you most is your father. He’d expressed concerns about Amenge to you, and advised you against getting close. Now you were dating the man. Did you owe it to your father to tell him, or was that better left a secret for now?

You are Sheev Palpatine, Sith Master, and Galactic Emperor. In the past these had been two disparate titles but now in your Dark Empire you'd managed to fuse the two inextricably together. Dark Side Kommisars ride alongside your naval officers as their warships ply the hyper lanes. Your inquisition scours the known galaxy for force wielders and brings them into the fold, bolstering your numbers. The Mages conduct twisted experiments in secret and harness the power of Sith magic, alchemy, and known science to create new tools and weapons of war.

You stand above it all and just below you, your Apprentice.

“Rise Lord Kalposis.”

The man who had been Brakiss stands before you. His face is expressionless but you sense within him excitement, anticipation, the sensation of success.

He'd clawed his way up to this post you knew. Fighting his way up from a mere Komissar to take his place by your side. It had come at the cost of Cythera, but you'd always felt she was lacking something. Cythera believed in the Empire and order. Kalopsis believes in power and himself, the trappings of a Sith.

“You bring news?” you have an inkling of what it may be. The boy Jacen’s screams had been clear even in your entry hall, some distance away from the reprogramming chamber he was being held in.

“Yes, Master. We're making progress on the boy, but it's slow going. To break him down while not truly damaging his mind has proved a challenge.”

What do you guys feel like our priorities should be now that we're back in business?

Just looking at the map of the galaxy, I can see there's still a few chunks of unclaimed territory to the East and West of our Dark Empire. I kind of want to absorb those areas before moving onto Thrawn but then again I know we have allies up to the far north in Thrawn's turf as well. I'm looking forward to unleashing the World Devastators at some point, feel like we'll need as much brute force as possible to overcome Thrawn's strategies.

Did anyone have any policies to suggest or new edicts as Palpatine? I wanted to suggest that maybe we could bolster our military if we opened up recruitment to loyal Near-Humans? It may also go a step toward driving another nail into the Rebellion's coffin by showing how "accommodating" we are.

Kamino seems really near the border of the empire, having new clone legions could be an idea. Perhaps made only from the best imperial soldiers, and divided in specialized categories (the dna of an ace fighter pilot, should be used only for pilots. the dna of a skilled combat medic, only for combat medics ecc...).


it can be a way to glorify soldiers of the empire, elevating their status to legends since becoming the sample for armys of clones soldiers is probably a great thing.

>>3114627

I'm a little wary of using clones, if for no other reason then the fact that it seems easy for some disloyal asshole to take a legion of clones and use them against us. Making a supplemental legion or two might not be a bad idea though as long as we give them to generals/admirals we know can be trusted.

>>3115071
I feel the same way about Droids. Seems too easy for someone to just flip a switch and make the Droids our enemies. Then again, maybe we could start that Dark Trooper program back up again. Those things were sick

I do recall the Republic reprogramming some Battle Droids for an infiltration mission in the Clone Wars Cartoon for one. It definitely felt like something Rebels would try. I also remember IG-88's bullshit about wanting to start droid revolts, something like that worries me just a little too.

But maybe if we design the droids with quality instead of quantity in mind, and only use them to supplement our enlisted/conscripted soldiers then we'll be fine. I also just remembered that Canon Dark Empire had giant /m/-tier War Droids, that might be cool to see.


>>3115681
Speaking of the Hapans, I think we'll have to deal with them in some way. They sit right on the border with Thrawn and us and supposedly got a big military of their own. I wonder if it would be worth it to try to absorb them into the Empire the same way we absorbed the Bothans, or if we could come up with some brutal way of forcing them in line like the Imperial Remnant tried with that virus.

I am 100 percent behind War Droids. We already have the corpse tie fighters, maybe tie in cyborgs instead of pure droids.

>>3115664
well from the best imperial soldiers. that s at least 2/4 guys or a dozen of people, for every type of clone soldier. This means we have a lot of templates to use, if we want we could make each legion different from another one multiplying even more the templates. Or make less legions and use so many templates, that each squad will be different.

since we will take the best of the best, this new clones could have more biological augmentations and better armors/weapons, and for loyalty/control we could try to extend their lifes/training , use propaganda everysecond of their existance, and put all the clone generals and clone admirals working directly under us and the emperor.


we could do the same with the war droids.

“I will have some of The Archmage’s sorcerer's assist,” Kalopsis says, “With the boys reconditioning. My fear is that if we make him into a monster then he can’t be controlled.”

“Too much of a monster,” You say, “Is better than not enough.” You are again reminded of Vader. “We will find a way to control him after we have broken him.”

Kalopsis is slow in responding. “Yes, Master.”

You wonder idly if he has the inkling that he is preparing his replacement. That said, there is also the matter of Kalopsis’s training. You’d gotten away with the minimum on Cythera, enough to make her a Sith, but not enough to make her a threat. It had served your purposes, she remained loyal to a fault, but it had also left her weak. Kalopsis has ambition in excess, but if you were clever you could harness this.

You ensure that you block out enough time in your day to train Kalopsis as you should have trained Cythera. He has the drive to be Sith, the Ambition. Kalopsis seeks power for its own sake, unlike Cythera who wanted to strengthen the Empire.

With a fully fledged Sith once more by your side, free from the corruption of the Jedi, you would be a force to be reckoned with.

Before you could see to any other business, you must meet with the leadership of your Dark Side Hierarchy. With Brakiss’s ascension to Sithhood, it left the Blackguard, the combat branch of your Hierarchy, leaderless.

Your top-ranking Darksiders have gathered in a small meeting chamber in one of the spires of the Imperial Palace. A panoramic transparisteel viewport rings the meeting room, displaying the vast urban vistas of Imperial Center.

“I trust that a short list of candidates has been prepared?” you ask.

“Yes, Master,” Kalopsis says, “I've made sure to compile the record of the replacement I would recommend. As a former Emperor’s hand he-"

“I'm afraid I must interject, Lord Kalopsis,” Amenge says, oozing courtesy.

Kalopsis’s eyes narrow at Amenge before going to you, seeking approval.

(1/2)

“Speak your mind, Grand Inquisitor.”

Amenge gives you a flat smile and stands, laying his palms flat on the table before surveying the other lords in turn, his emotions closely guarded.

“I have a proposal that will render this decision moot.”

“Get to the point, Amenge,” Kalopsis says, glowering.

“I propose that the Komissari and Blackguard be abolished as separate branches, their duties, and authority folded into a strengthened Inquisitorius.”

Kalosis snorts and Lord Mi, the Nautolan Komissari sits bolt upright. For a moment you thought she'd go for her lightsaber.

“Indeed?” you don't hide your amusement.

“What gives you the right?” Mi blurts.

“The Komissari was formed to solve the problem of motivation and loyalty in the military. I would say that not only has this mission been accomplished, but that the Inquisition is better suited to continue such a task.” Amenge doesn't look at Mi as he speaks, instead, he takes a deep breath and presses on. “The Blackguard was formed to fight the Jedi. A task that traditionally belonged to the Inquisitorius, and a task that- frankly- the Blackguard have utterly failed at.”

Beside you, Kalopsis seethes with hate for Amenge, his most obvious rival on this council.

“The Inquisitorius were once your right hand, Master. Let us be so again.” Vende finishes, not breaking eye contact with you.

You sense Kalopsis has more to say, much more, but he holds back.

It seems that the power struggle in your Hierarchy is coming to a head. It's no secret to you that Mi is little more than a puppet for Kalopsis and if his pick for Blackguard is chosen then he will effectively control half the Hierarchy.

Moore has shown no interest in politicking and seems content to oversee her own secluded branch. Vende and Kalopsis are cut of a different cloth.

You can deny both your Grand Inquisitor and Apprentice with your own appointment to the position, but you will, of course, draw their ire, not to mention it would likely mean a weaker candidate. Otherwise, you have the choice of strengthening either Amenge or Kalopsis.

Why couldn’t wrangling would-be-Sith be easy?

“Enough,” you say. “Grand Inquisitor, I appreciate your proposal, but we will not be altering the hierarchy any further at this time.”

Amenge holds your gaze for a few moments, his eyes flickering between yours, expression clouded and unreadable. You sense an outburst coming before the storm suddenly subsides and he sits without another word.

You look to Kalopsis, “Vess Kogo will become the new Blackguard.”

“Kogo?” Kalopsis is stunned.

Vess had once been an Emperor’s hand, one you’d relied on for missions that needed more power than subtlety.

You stare down your Apprentice as well. “Kogo. Yes.”

Kalopsis shrugs. “I’m sure he’ll be a fine candidate.”

You feel nothing but displeasure from your two top Darksiders, each feels that you don’t trust their abilities. It’s not a pleasant feeling.

After the tense meeting with your Dark Siders, you make time for a one on one appointment with Director Isard, your head of intelligence.

“After Admiral Tyrna’s victory at Da Soocha,” she is saying, “The Rebel fleet scattered. We’ve had a smattering of sitings across the galaxy, but nothing confirmed.”

“They’ve spread out to hide their numbers?” you ask.

“Partly. There are a number of factors. It seems they forgot the lessons of Hoth and put all their eggs into one basket that they very nearly lost. Again. This time they’re much harder to quash. Additionally, with much of their support structure destroyed, they’ve had to make do with scrounging at a local level.”

You study the holoimages of scattered rebel ships intently. Among the usual fare you also see a handful of older, Clone War vintage ships. “These are new. To them I mean.”

“We think so,” Isard replies. “They’ve either raided a depot we forgot about or were given them by other sources.”

“Speculation?”

“The Hutts.”

You scowl, “Once things have calmed down, they’re next.”

“Yes, Highness. Unfortunately, it’s been a while since we’ve had a solid report on their activity. Last we saw any of them, they were headed to the Galactic South. I think they aim to rebuild somewhere and lick their wounds.”

“And you have a plan for dealing with them?”

Isard fixes you with a solid stare. “The same plan that we’ve always had luck with. I want to dedicate serious military resources to sweeping for them.”

“Such as?”

“A fleet. I would like to pull one of our fleets from patrol duty and dedicate it to hunting for the rebels. I would suggest, Lobkin or Trier.”

Pulling a fleet was doable, though it would mean relying more on the local security forces for patrol duty. Not to mention it meant moving forces further way from your border with Thrawn should you need them. The Grand Vizier has opened a diplomatic channel with him to discuss re-integration, but you preferred to be safe rather than sorry.

“Trier,” you say. “Let him take his fleet and hunt the Rebels. We won’t give them time to regroup.”

“Yes, Highness.,” Isard says with a bow.

With your fleet dispatched, you turn your attention to internal matters. Traveling from your Palace you make your way to the old Imperial Senate Building where you are convening the Senate for the first time in decades. This new Senate is not a wholly elected body, being primarily made up of Moffs who have voting powers (non-binding of course) and elected Senators, who do not have voting powers.

It’s a tangled mess of Bureaucracy that exists in a largely advisory position, but you are overseeing it today.

It’s not nearly as expansive as it had been during the heyday of the Old Republic topping out at perhaps one hundred Moffs, Grand Moffs, and Senators.

In the lobby of the Senate, you are understandably beset by well-wishers and supporters, who wouldn’t want to bend your ear in the moments leading up to the opening of the floor. It’s in this press that you spot someone out of place. A female, already rare enough in your government, but also a young one. She wears a flowing, lacy black dress instead of any kind of uniform and is followed by a veiled handmaiden. She is of course your niece, Ederlathh Pallopides.

Still a teenager, she was made Moff of Naboo and the surrounding sector, replacing the controversial Moff Tavira who now handles Telti and its droid plants. You’ve always had a distant relationship with the young Duchess, but that’s mostly because family ties mean nothing to you. It might make a good opportunity to shore up your support in her, but that would also give her more power and legitimacy.

>>3122684
No, the Imperial Council (In Dark Empire) is still a thing and still holds real power. It is made of all the directors, Grand Admirals (Zahn) and certain high ranking political leaders, Grand Moffs etc.

The Senate is intended purely to be a civilian governing body. It's a rubber stamp with no real authority other than what you allow. It's intended to take some of the day-to-day burden of governing off your council.

That's not confirmed, but you suspect he is very much alive and serving at Thrawn's side.

Why not make Sheeeev?

Why waste the time? You pass by without a word to one another. Let her read into that what she will. Instead, you proceed to the central dais where you will oversee the proceedings.

“I call to order the first session of the new Imperial Senate,” Amedda, your Grand Vizier decrees, voice booming across the open Senate chamber. One the applause dies down, the usual affairs begin. Budget allocation, decorating of war heroes, the settlement of the depopulated Yevethan worlds in the Negs. You follow along with feigned interest until-

“The floor recognizes Moff Sal-Solo,” Amedda says.

“Honorable representatives,” Sal-Solo says as the Corellian seat is recognized. “I wish to put forward a military conscription and enlistment act that I believe will do much to alleviate the strain on our valiant troops. The bill is called ‘the Near-Human and Non-Human enlistment act.”

This sends a ripple of conversation throughout the senate hall as the provisions of the bill are announced.

In effect, it calls for the extension of conscription to all races classified as ‘near human’ which for the purposes of the bill means “can utilize standard Stormtrooper armor with no, or minimum, modification.”

Additionally, it makes provisions for the recruitment of non-human races considered ‘Class A’. This includes the Noghri, the Bothans, and now- on Corellia- the Sellonians. It would make allowances for these races to serve in auxiliary roles and in some frontline roles with special recommendation. It would vastly increase your pool of recruits both for menial tasks and to serve as officers, but it would also likely offend human purists in your government.

The bill is passed fairly handily despite some intense objection from more traditional Moffs. It seems the consensus is that pure humans have footed the bill long enough. You ensure that the law is altered to only cover near-humans. In effect you remove the genetic testing formerly required and allow certain adjustments to be made for what had previously been termed ‘genetic aberration’ It will help ease your manpower requirements, but only slightly.

A few rider bills are attached allowing Class A non-humans to serve in auxiliary and military forces for their local worlds. Sal-Solo himself seems mostly satisfied, it will allow him to enlist Selonians into the Corellian Defense Force even if they can’t serve the Empire proper.

“To that end,” a new voice speaks out. Moff Volen of Coruscant. A tired-looking aristocrat who seemed utterly mundane in almost every way. “I would like to propose additional changes in the way Non-humans are handled in the Empire.” He seems confident as a list of alterations is read, including adding a half dozen species from Class B to Class A, as well as granting all Class A Non-humans most of the benefits of full citizenship. All that remained were restrictions on holding noble titles, public office, and military enlistment.

“The non-human populations of our worlds have been a source of constant strife within our Empire. By solidifying positive relations with them we can further ensure our government will stand for millennia to come.”

I believe we should increase the human population; we can't survive as an empire if our population is rivalled by non-humans, thus, I think we should repurpose old cloning facilities to that end.

>>3122937
>Cloning

The rapid growth cloning tanks of the Clone Wars have been mostly decommissioned and destroyed. All that remains are your personal cloning tanks on Byss which take decades, and the Spartii cylinders you left on Weyland which is currently in Thrawn's territory and likely under his control.

You'll be happy to note that after the Yevetha were purged, human settlers repopulated those worlds and their efforts are going well.

>>3122982
>This somehow means cloning tech is lost?

>>3122994
Pretty much. This is to be more consistent with the old EU this is largely based on.

How long would the Spartii cylinders take?

>>3123001
I don't think that's the problem with cloning. Right now it would just be too big an investment that would take too much time.

Unless Krayt had the Sith Trooper cylinders on Korriban at this point. Though he won't found the One Sith for another ~17 years so I doubt he has them. He probably won't have them for another hundred.

>>3123001
I.. What? Kamino is still a world right?

>>3123025
Well it's not one that has any ability to produce clones anymore. The Empire razed it after it rebelled.

>>3123016
To churn out batches of clones? Weeks? Months? Very quickly. But rapid growth tech is highly flawed, the clones come out mentally unstable unless grown for long periods of time.

That is unless Thrawn found a way to circumvent that problem . . .

>>3123025
Yes, but the Empire basically killed the cloners and took all their shit after they rebelled.


Please tell me you guys have read the Thrawn Trilogy . . .

Absolutely alien

Changes must be made slowly, the last thing you wanted was to be flooded by those who may not agree with your government. Let them get more acquainted with it first. You are pleased when the measure fails to get enough support that you don’t have to veto it.

“The chair recognizes,” Amedda says with some apprehension, “Duchess Pallopides of Naboo.”

All eyes go to the diminutive girl as she stands straight.

“Esteemed colleagues of the Senate, Governors of the Empire-” her eyes go to you, “And his Imperial Highness. This Empire serves a concrete function, one we all recognize even if only subconsciously. The Empire does not exist to hunt rebel bands or to construct vast warfleets- no, this is a part of its duties and purpose, but not its reason for being.” She laces her fingers together.

“The Empire exists to bring stability, order, justice, and peace. The Navy serves to help with this function, but we must recognize that at a very real level, the governors in this chamber are the closest most citizens will get to the face of the Empire. We see to people’s needs at the smallest scale possible. To that end-” She surveys the audience, “We must see that the people of these worlds understand there is more to the Empire than conscription and taxation. I propose a bill that will -in the short term- grant more power to Moffs at a regional level.”

The stipulations of the bill are gone through systematically. It will ease the tax burden places on most planets, cutting directly into the Imperial coffers but bolstering funds for local spending in the short term. It will also ease the deployment of local security forces, allowing them to focus less on hunting rebels and more on domestic action. These changes are intended to last for a year, giving the Moffs a temporary boost to local spending and enforcement that they may improve their territories.

The Duchess is right, it will likely bring greater popular support, but it will also weaken central power in the short term. It’s also possible that many Moffs will simply pocket the extra funds that find their way into their accounts rather than spend them.

Well Krayt is a beast of opportunity, of course he isn't guaranteed.

But the Vong is what brought Thrawn and Palpatine together.

Hey, Timekiller, are the hutts fairly divided/independent? Would it be possible to cause a division amongst them, sort of pinning sides against eachother?

>>3123157
Dark Empire doesn't follow the same timeline as the EU. Thrawn and the Reborn Emperor weren't concurrent either. Including the Vong allows for weird meta, plus I don't like them personally. This quest really only treats Thrawn Trilogy, Dark Empire, and maybe X-Wing series as hard canon. Anything newer than that is included on a 'if I feel like it' basis."

Lucrehulk is a big bitch. I looked up a comparison someone else did and used it to scale to your Imperator. Then I basically blocked out shapes in MS paint over the image and assembled them into that shape.

They look good to me, but that Imperator does look off somehow. Might be my imagination but it seems too wide.

For freehand this is phenomenal!

>>3123305
The Imperial looks a bit wide because it's not a smooth triangle, I kept tweaking it for the straight sections, and really that was good enough.

They're not all too common in the Clone Wars so I figured it would be fine.

>Then I basically blocked out shapes in MS paint over the image and assembled them into that shape.
Ah, okay. That's a lot easier than what I've been doing, but it's worked for most things. A circle that big is practically nonviable though.

You can’t in good faith weaken the government you’ve fought so hard to strengthen. The bill does get a good deal of support, obviously as the Moffs are the people it intends to benefit, but you veto it, even with some conditional stipulations attached. There is no sense in allowing the Empire to again become a republic.

If the Duchess is upset that her bill was vetoed, she doesn't show it. Sitting calmly and speaking quietly with her handmaiden. You sense nothing from her.

The council otherwise finishes its business and closes the session.
