Plan Goals (Q1 25 BBY to Q4 23 BBY)
Construct 3 Dreadnoughts. (+15 SS)
Complete Cloning Operations (Phase 12) by Q4 25 BBY (+5 SS)
Complete Cloning Operations (Phase 13) by Q4 24 BBY (+5 SS)
Complete Cloning Operations (Phase 14) by Q4 23 BBY (+5 SS)

[-] Local Shield Generators (Phase 2)
As you continue to build up Kamino, you may want to look into protecting your investments. Shield generators would be expensive, but setting up one in each major city would be a good way to minimise any damage done by an attack, be it a raid or a full-scale invasion.
(237/300, 50 Resources per Die) (-- Facilities)

It has been over a year since the shield generator protecting Tipoca City was finally installed. It is no small boon to the defenders of Kamino, but it is limited as it only protects the capital and no other part of Kamino.

To rectify this, you have ordered the construction of a shield generator in Tidema City in the southern regions of Kamino. Significant progress is made in the final months of the year and by the end of it, the various parts have been acquired and the shield generator itself has been constructed. As the new year begins, only the power sources required to power the shield generator need to be set up before it is ready for you.

[-] Off-World Expansion (Phase 7)
While Kamino has proven sufficient so far, you are rapidly approaching the limits of the watery world's ability to support a project of this size. As you have no intention of slowing down, you will need to expand your operations to other planets though this will make secrecy harder to maintain.
(604/400, 25 Resources per Die, +1 E per Die) (204/450) (+++++ Facilities)

After the expansions to clone production leaving you extremely short on space last quarter, you continue the off-world expansion to make more room for your operations. To the relief of yourself and many others, the efforts are successful and as the year comes to a close, your operations aren't as cramped as they have spent the last couple of months.

[-] Democracy-class Dreadnought Construction Aurek (Phase 3)
Having constructed extensive orbital shipyards over Kamino and having acquired dreadnought designs from Rendili StarDrive, it is finally time to begin Dreadnought production.
(1,605/1,500, 50 Resources per Die) (105/1,500) (-100 Production whilst project is underway) (+1 Medium Superheavy Capital)
[-] Democracy-class Dreadnought Construction Besh (Phase 3)
Having constructed extensive orbital shipyards over Kamino and having acquired dreadnought designs from Rendili StarDrive, it is finally time to begin dreadnought production. With vast amounts of unused shipyards at Kamino, it is possible to construct two dreadnoughts at once.
(1,298/1,500, 50 Resources per Die) (-100 Production whilst project is underway) (+1 Medium Superheavy Capital)

With a small influx of budget, the fifth Democracy-class Dreadnought is finished and ready for you while parts for another one are ordered now that the yards pace is free. Meanwhile substantial funding goes towards the sixth Democracy-class Dreadnought and while it is finished by the end of the year, major strides have been made and it shouldn't take more than a few months of regular funding for it to be completed.

[-] Expand Clone Production (Phase 14)
You have completed the initial batch of clones, but the army is still going to need plenty more soldiers. Now you need to work on expanding the current cloning operations to allow for more clones to be produced at once.
(407/500, 15 Resources per Die) (-64 Facilities, -64 Logistics, -32 Trainers, +4,096 Clones)

Under your orders, the longnecks make several strides towards the expansion of clone production. While it isn't quite completed yet, it shouldn't take much more time or funding before it is ready.

Which is why Darth Sidious has helpfully contributed to the project with his own resources, ensuring that it will complete halfway into next year at the latest.

Gain +50 Progress on Expand Clone Production each turn until Phase 14 completes.

[-] Expand Commando Training (Phase 14)
With the completion of the commando courses, you will have a small batch of clone commandos once the trainees are old enough. They are a marginal amount compared to the rest of the army however and further expansions are required to increase the number of clone commandos that will be trained. Fortunately, Kal Skirita's new methods should make the training process quicker and more efficient.
(255/100, 25 Resources per Die) (155/100) (55/100) (+ Commandos per turn, -Trainers)

Two new series of commando training courses are set up. By now, enough of the clone commandos have undergone clone teacher training and are able to teach new generations of clone commandos. They aren't as good as their non-clone counterparts, but you don't have enough non-clone trainers to go about and they do grasp some things better as the result of having undergone such training themselves.

[-] Clone Trainers (Phase 29)
As the clone cadets begin to come of age and finish their training, it is possible to start them to work assisting your Mandalorian trainers. While it would take some time to give them the proper instruction on how to train others, it could be done and help supplement your reserves of available teachers and trainers. After some serious failures and inefficiencies with the previous method, you have gone from training an entire batch of clones at once to training the adult clones with the most attitude for the task.
(216/100, 15 Resources per Die) (116/100) (16/100) (++ Trainers)

To meet up with your expected need for trainers when the next clone production expansion takes place, you continue to train more adult clones as trainers for the younger generations.

[-] Slowed Ageing (Phase 4)
As room for more genetic enhancements run out, Doctor Desnos wishes to return to helping improve the lifespans of the clone troopers.
(853/2,000, 30 Resources per Die)

Not content to let the clones merely live for a couple of centuries, Doctor Desnos has gotten to work on enhancing their lifespan even further. Making steady progress in the final month of the year, Doctor Desnos is confident in her ability to add another decade or two onto the lifespan of the clones.

[-] Expand Armour Contracts (Phase 12)
While you have contracted various armoursmiths to purchase large quantities of Mandalorian armour for your clones to use, the current order can be increased even further. It will cost more credits, but you need those extra sets of armour and it isn't like you are spending your own money.
(114/40, 5 Resources per Die, +1 E per Die) (74/40) (34/40) (-51,200 Resources per turn) (+4,096 Armour per turn)

While you have more than enough suits of armour stockpiled, the number of new clones being produced every quarter has finally outstripped the number of personal armour being produced for your needs. To fix this, you have sent out new armour contracts for the first time in years. New and old suppliers both jump at this chance to make more credits, which is a good thing because you need a lot of suits of armour.

Though you have probably ordered far more than you will actually need.

[-] Expand SPHA-T Contract (Phase 3)
You have contracted Rothana Heavy Engineering to produce Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolasers for your clones to use when they are old enough to fight, but you could always use some more. Talk to Rothana Heavy Engineering about expanding your SPHA-T contract.
(209/40, 5 Resources per Die) (169/40) (129/40) (89/40) (49/40) (9/40) (-80 Resources per turn) (++++ Heavy Walkers per turn)

After receiving word of your desire for more SPHA-Ts via Sith proxies, Rothana Heavy Engineering is more than happy to supply you with more of the mobile artillery tanks.

[-] Burying Secrets
The clone army is supposed to be a secret which means this whole affair is supposed to be secret. When too many things begin to start pointing in your direction, you need to bury them before people come poking out. Of particular note, the Jedi Order has been actively investigating what they can of your operations.
(313) (DC 184/204/224/244/264) (-1E/-2E/-3E/-4E/-5E)

As a pleasant surprise, the Sith agents are actually competent for a change. While they aren't able to convince the Jetiise that the Separatists are the ones they need to investigate, they are able to convince the Separatist movement that the Jetiise and by extension the Republic are attempting to spy on them via the pretext of investigating the mysterious military hardware purchases.

While the Jedi investigators are able to avoid anything too bad befalling them, their efforts this quarter are hobbled from trying to avoid both the Separatist agents and the proxies acting on the behalf of the Sith.


And it is the end of the second to last year of the quest. Sidious is being helpful and for once the Sith agents are actually able to stymie the Jedi investigation for once. Also be ready because one way or another, things are coming to a head in the next year.
