    This is not true at all, though. Myto is still small potatoes compared to the other Outer Rim holdings in the Bright Jewel Oversector. Entralla is an extremely wealthy and industrialized trade world. Prefsbelt is the home of the main Imperial Naval Academy. Muunilinst and Mygeeto are two of the...

    Th Venator's real issue is that its designers were trying to do too much. They made a passable carrier which badly underperforms in that role for its size, tonnage and cost, because it forced everything into a thin, narrow hull-frame designed for direct combat. And because so much of its...

    Yeah, get ahold of a dozen or so Victory-IIs to serve as the backbone of the Sector Fleet in the event of an outright invasion (Victory-Is can be useful too, but they're ammunition hogs and are too slow for most anti-piracy duty). They would get you something like 1/3rd the capability of an...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Meh, I'm unimpressed with the Harrower, both the original and this redesign. And I'm not sure what the point is, when Las could have just invested in more Vindicators. They're simple, reliable, have a very reasonable crew requirement, they're incredibly modular (depending on configuration, they...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I don't buy that. First of all, it's been stated in the lore once or twice (at least in Legends) that the official complement is what is recommended by Imperial doctrine, not the limits of what they can carry. The main example was the Executor-class. Officially, it can only carry twice the...

    Ineresting breakdown. Only one problem: There are only twelve beings who hold the rank of Grand Admiral, and the only being who can appoint them is the Emperor himself. In this case, where Heeter goes in terms of promotions depends on his actual rank. For a backwater sector like Myto, there's...

    Borne of Caution (Pokemon Isekai)

    Well, that was a fun one. Norman looking to salve his wounded pride with a solid win is a bit concerning, since it sounds like he's preparing to go harder on Lee than he strictly should as a gym leader, but I'm sure it'll make for an excellent battle sequence. Probably setting himself up for a...

    Why solar? As a power source, it's nothing but gimmicky garbage, and building solar farms on the surface will only compound the issue of land shortage around the area. Even at 100% efficiency (which is impossible, because entropy is a thing) solar will never be reliable or productive enough to...

    Considering that its first owner is listed as "Wilhuff Tarkin", as in the same Wilhuff Tarkin who just died on the first Death Star in this story, I'd say yes.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I literally had to scroll up to double check, and you're right. What does it say about QQ that I only read the SFW section by accident? What does that say about me? It actually explains a lot though. Like how the interactions and POV sections between Las and his sisters have been oddly...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Not exactly. From what I remember, the Death Star was re-classified as a mining station after the fact by the Imperial Propaganda Bureau, to fit the narrative they spun about how Rebels supposedly hijacked the peaceful DS-1 mining station to blow up a Core World in an act of terrorism, a plot...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I think Las is badly overestimating the impact of the DS2's construction. The thing was under construction for four years, and for three-and-a-half of those years, nobody in the entire galaxy even noticed that anything was amiss. In the end, the only reason anyone learned about it before it was...

    Not quite. They are Eternal Empire cultists, not Infinite Empire ones. I blame Bioware for lacking creativity when it comes to naming things. The Infinite Empire was the Rakata, and predated the founding of the Galactic Republic, collapsing due to civil war and plague about 25,200 years before...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Fun chapter. It's nice to see some of Las' earlier efforts bear fruit, rather than see yet another new crisis to cut into his already sparse sleep schedule. Just one teensy-weensy personal quibble: I really don't like this ship's name. It just feels wrong to me on a couple of levels. For one...

    Ah, so probably no sister-route outside of omakes then, unless he wants to post an entire alternate version here on QQ. I'm pretty sure even non-explicit, implied incest would get your story locked and/or banned on either SV or SB, considering what happened to Brosef's excellent Warhammer 30k...
