"Alright guys. You know the drill. Get in there, arrest all the workers and set up patrols until we get everything squared out." I said. In front of me stood 50 officers. All of them a Lieutenant+ and even some Commanders.
"I will now call up the leader, their troops, and where they're going to." I said.
"Commander blablabla, 200 troops, 8 Lamba Shuttles, 2 Nu-Class Shuttles, 6 Z-95 Headhunters, to Coruscant.
"Captain blablabla, 100 troops, 4 Lamba, 1 Nu class shuttle. 2 Z-95 Headhunters, Corellia.
"Captain blablabla, 100 troops, 4 Lamba, 1 Nu shuttle, 2 Z-95's, Kuat."
And like that I continued. If you hadn't guessed already I was giving the locations to Xucphra's business spots. I had gotten most of them, but I would finish all when we slice their headquarters.
I continued until I sent over 2850 to different planets, 130 shuttles, 105 Lamba Class and 25 Nu-Class, 150 Z-95 Headhunters. I sent 100 to every major planet like Alderaan, Corellia, Cato, and Raxus, while I sent 50 to peaceful and not-so-corrupt worlds and lastly 200 to Coruscant and Nal Hutta. Hutta due to the Hutt criminals, needed to make a deal with them. And Coruscant due to the pure amount of corruption.
"You all have 4 days to reach your respective planets, and some selected few get more. In 4 days we will raid the main Xucphra Headquarters. You are not to do any raids before that." I said as all of them saluted and I signaled for them to leave.
A lot had happened since the last attack. A total of 5 months had gone past.
We had boarded and sliced the mercenary destroyer. And it was Zaltin who ordered the attack apparently. They saw a threat In me and after spotting my ship they sent for the attack, attempting to assassinate me.
Oh well, just another witness and argument for the trials.
Representative Davis had done an excellent job gaining us multiple planets to support us and also getting benefits from all factions a lot of times. We also had multiple clients who had confirmed their deals with us.
Now that was not all. Militarily we had gotten 150 Lamba-Class Shuttles made the last 5 months and also 150 Alpha-Class V-wings. Creating 30 every month.
However last month we increased the engineering Corp, buying 2 additional flying workshops and we could now produce 60 fighters or shuttles per workshop. We also currently had 300 LAATs after hiring Kuat to make them for us. But we were now creating 60 every month.
The prototype of the Gladiator-1 Star Destroyer was also halfway complete. It would carry up to 96 Starfighters due to being heavily modified to mainly be a carrier and not a star destroyer. However, it was still barely a Star Destroyer.
Following the assassination attempt made by the mercenary company, the security around me had completely changed. Alexander had taken his duty extremely seriously always having multiple guards and escorts.
He had even spent the last 5 months personally training his veteran unit. Do you remember the guys who fought against the pirates and only lost 20 men?
Well, he had somehow gotten some mercenary who fought with Electrostaffs to use them. He had gotten Force Staff's from the Mandalorian Guards but he had added purple energized electric properties. The exact same as the Magna Guards used. But it still had the stun option and the staff itself was stronger as it was imbued with slight beskar.
He had also gotten a veteran Mandalorian Royal Guard to join them and he served as the Captain of the unit and taught them how to block blaster bolts. Truly magnificent.
And I actually had no part in it. It paid off to have good subordinates.
Now onto the slow-down time problem.
After that scene, I tested myself again and found out I still only had 5000. So I assumed I was a weak sensitive?
The requirement to join the Jedi order was 7000. And as such I assume I can't use force push, pull, electro, choke, or any of that. I might be able to get a bit faster, sense, predict, and if I train enough maybe mind control? I'm not quite sure but I will try if I ever get instructions.
Oh, and onto the moon business.
We have built a full moon base there that would put the Rishi Station to shame. Not that it counts. It was equipped with 8 DBY-827 Heavy Turbolaser turrets and 2 Heavy Ion Cannons. It also had 20 laser cannons and 20-point defense cannons.
Like Rishi Station, it had a large transmitter on top, but this one could actually penetrate the jamming of every single ship. So unless someone pulled up with a moon full of jammers then we are safe.
I had 200 men stationed on that outpost alongside a single Munificent and 5 DP20s. It protected one of the only known entrances to Thyferra, which was positive. But sadly the hyperspace was an unknown thing and therefore a hyperlane could just spawn or be discovered.
As I realized everyone had long left and I was just sitting there in my own thoughts I turned on my comms.
"Alexander. Prepare the 2000 Royal Guards. We're attacking the Xucphra Headquarters in 4 days. Have the men get acquainted with the building layout and everything."
"Understood, Your Grace." He said.
Aah, life was so good with so many competent subordinates.
Well, I guess I'll head over to Lira and maybe help her with that Imperator-Class Star Destroyer.
In history, Lira designed the Imperator-Class Star Destroyer to be the main naval powerhouse of the Republic Navy, as the Venator was more of a hangar. But what she did was essentially make a star destroyer with fewer guns and more hangar. Which wasn't what the Empire wanted so they threw it away for the Imperial-Class.
Well, basically what I'm doing is having her fix the ISD's problems. Putting the shield generators inside the ship, I don't know which dumbass placed it outside. Same with the reactor. I kept the firepower of the ISD 1 and introduced a few heavier cannons, but I also gave advice on adding more point defense guns on the sides and beneath the ship. As well as above.
The current design would allow it to fit 96 Alpha-3 V-Class Star Fighters which was pretty great however I added a lot of space for the LAATs. The original Imperator and Imperial Star Destroyers used a lot of space up for the training areas, holding cells, and 2 large fucking tractor beams. I removed all of that and instead increased the passenger capability to 15,000, a total division. And added 50 LAATs. However, this had changed a lot in the original Imperator/Imperial. It had jumped the costs from a whooping 150 million credits to 200 million credits. It had also increased the length to 1800 meters and 1100 meters in width.
While this may seem a lot to pack into 1 cruiser it wasn't really that much. The normal Imperial Star Destroyer could take 72 TIE-series fighters. By changing it all to Alpha-3 and changing it up a bit we can easily fit 96 Alpha-Class V-wings.
We then take out the 20 AT-ATs, 2 Gozanti, 30 ATST and suddenly we have a lot of space. Of course, I built out the hangar a bit as I still want ground assaults and stuff but yeah.
I also changed the firepower up a bit. I had talked to Taim & Bak Weapons Manufactured and I had managed to put in a commission to build the Octuple Turbolasers. I have given them a whooping 200 million credits in return that we own the full design and they are not allowed to sell it to others. But that would be more than worth it for them as few wanted that heavy laser and 200 million was a great price.
And as such I had helped her a bit towards the ISD-2 changing the main guns to Octouple Turbolasers. Lastly, I changed the original 60 Turbolaser batteries to 30 and the Heavy Ion Cannons to 30 from 60. I had then included a whooping 80 laser cannons, 30 where the Ion and Turbolasers should be, and 20 on the dorsal part of the ship, between the end of the ship and the Octuple turbo lasers.
Honestly, I have spent a lot of time with Lira lately. She was barely 14 years old but she was a genius in creating ships. Additionally, she was extremely mature. If I wasn't like 40 years old in my mind with my old life + new life. I'd never find a common interest with her.
She was also quite good looking so I could be interested in investing in a relationship with her later. But not now. I have a few interests but I can't even touch them before I'm 18. Anyone who has a wife or something knows it is extremely rare to find a couple who met before they were 18, or at least got together. Simply too much hormones or anything.
Getting that out of my thoughts I simply decided to relax. I had 4 days until anything significant happened.
And with that, I headed towards Lira. She was living in the palace so it barely took a few minutes.
I knocked on the door 3 times and a feminine voice responded.
"Come in." She said and I did so. I entered the room.
The room was quite luxurious. She had a large double bed, a large window, a kitchen, an office, and refreshers. Everything one needs.
She sat at the desk with the hologram of the improved Imperial-2 and Imperator-Class Star Destroyer.
In my past life tens, maybe hundreds of strategists, engineers, information finders, everything. People who read the entire history of the Star Wars game, they all discussed and came up with solutions to fix the Imperial-Class Star Destroyer. Very few went extremely in-depth but the basics were. 'Better protection against Starfighters'. Add more starfighters, have carrier support, and the TIE itself.
But essentially the ISD was only good at capital to capital ship combat, which the Empire never did. 1 ISD could take most of their enemies' fleets.
Well, we were working on that. As I said previously, more fighters, fewer turbolasers, more point defense cannons, and more normal laser cannons.
Well, the best case scenario is that I'll build a max of 3 of each of these. I don't really need them for anything else.
"I see you're still working on the Imperator-Class Star Destroyer?" I asked and she nodded but didn't look away.
"I am, the Imperator will be my finest work! It's the perfect capital destroyer. Of course you pointed out realistic differences but that was because I'm not a strategist. Either way I am getting close to finalizing the design. But it will be pricy to build a prototype and test it out." She said.
"Don't worry about it, I'm in the process of earning 10 times more within 2 years." I said and she turned around and smiled.
I can't help but notice that smile. She was quite the looker, while maybe not Amidala level. She was still top 10.
"That's great! With this, we can actually build these bad boys." She said with excitement.
"Indeed, but we would have to wait a bit. And I came here to both help you with the current designs and give you a mission for the next design." I said and her face beamed up with a smile. She somehow enjoyed more work.
"Great! Well, I have some questions concerning the needs of every trooper. The Republic didn't want to give their guys a lot and the Venator only took 2000 so I need your expertise." She said and I nodded and sat down beside her.
"Let's see….." And with that we spent 2 hours talking until it was time for me to leave.
"Well, before I go I'll show you the new vehicle you can work on after this and while I get funds." I said as I put up a HoloProjector.
"So, the Gladiator. While an excellent transport and small carrier. It doesn't fit our requirements. The Munificent barely has 40 fighters in each, while the improved Gladiator barely has 36 fighters. And the Gladiator costs more than the Munificent, however that is not the problem. I need a large carrier with the capability to fight capital ships. My first option was the Venator, however, they lack in ship-to-ship combat, they rely on their starfighters, and it costs too much to have lesser firepower than the Munificent." I said and she nodded along the way.
"That's why I came up with this design to be a middleman between the Venator and the Star Destroyers. The Valiant-Class Star Destroyer. To improve the Venator, I've added only 6 on the wings, 3 on each side. Then I added 16 DBY-827 at the front, 4 rows of 4 where the hangar would usually be. The Valiant would include 4 hangars, 1 large at the front, 2 on the sides and 1 under. A total of 240 V-wings and 69 Scuurg H6 Bomber which we got from Palpatine. It will be 1600 meters in length. It also had 8 giant torpedo launchers in the middle with 32 proton torpedoes each." I said and she showed increased interest. Being one of the original designers of the Venator-class star destroyer.
"I see…." She said.
