Your end goal (Vote for One)

The New Republic and Rebellion are a cancerous growth of disorder and chaos that has to be contained, cut off and eliminated. We shall rise to the occasion and return order and stability to the galaxy. (Ends when the New Republic has Capitulated)

[]Survival
The Empire has ended, but we are still here. The only way to survive is to make peace with the enemy, on our terms. (Ends upon a successful, long term stable peace treaty with the New Republic)

[]Operation Ruin
The Rebellion may have won, but they will inherit only dust and rubble. As outlined in Contingency Operation: Ruin, we will rob the New Republic of the pillars for galactic civilization: Communication-, manufacturing-, processing- and extraction-infrastructure. (Ends when Some of the following have suffered critical disruption: HoloNet, Hyperdrive Manufacturing, Droid Manufacturing, Capital Ship Construction, Research and Knowledge Institutions)

The Empire is divided, shattered into bickering Warlords and Remnant states. Only in unity can we stand against the New Republic. (Ends when the remaining Remnants are gathered under your banner and peace is made with the New Republic, one way or another)

Where did the Remnant set up shop (Vote for One)
[]Kuat
One of the most prestigious industrial worlds in the galaxy, Kuat is famed for its shipyards. A prize that will draw the eye of both Rebels and Other Imperial Remnants alike.
+Large Population
+Massive Industrial Capacity
+Large defense fleet and force
-Center of New Republic attention
-Dependent on imports

[]Eriadu
The home planet of Grand Moff Tarkin, may his name be remembered, Eridadu is a highly industrialized Outer Rim world. Far away from the current scenes of the civil war, it will give us time to build up and reorganize organically before we draw the eye of the Rebels.
+Modest Population
+Rich resource deposits
+Minimal Attention
-Dependent on food imports

[]Unknown Regions
The Emperor had the foresight to prepare a secret enclave in the Unknown Regions to ensure the continuation of the Empire. Assets we will make use of. Even if the project was unable to be completed, it still contains ships, depots and industrial assets all waiting to be awakened. Hiding and in secret we can build up, waiting for the right moment to reveal ourselves.
+Existence is unknown both to Rebels and other Remnants
+Treasure trove of high tech Imperial assets waiting to be reactivated
-Extremely limited population
-Effectively on their own for the early quest period

(Starts with more advanced cloning research projects; +15 Roll bonus to Projects related to biology, genetics or cloning)

[]Advanced TIE RnD Division
The Empire always had some obscure projects related to next generation starfighters running on a low flame somewhere, even if lack of resources ensured none of these had a meaningful effect on the civil war.

Welcome to this wonderful quest that spooked around my head for quite a while. No plan-voting for the start choices please. Now that we have this out of the way I will say a few words on what to expect from this quest. I find no fun in writing the theoretical worst of what the Empire is capable of, so this will be a smoothed over version of them. However, everyone should still be aware that you and I are playing as the bad guys. As long as you can have some self-awareness about that, you are welcome to participate, but I don't want to see unironic Empire fanboying. As for whether this quest uses Canon or Legends, I can state that I will use whatever I feel like. I only really know surface level Star Wars, so trying to metagame will probably fail due to me having never heard of it.

Mechanics
The Quest uses a variation of the Planquest format as popularized by Ithillid's GDIQuest and Blackstar's VNKhQuest. Each turn readers create plans, allocating Dice and the required Resources to projects in a variety of categories. The number of Dice available in each category specified in the category header. Projects are divided into the following categories:
Infrastructure
Industry
Food Industry
Intelligence and Subversion
Services
Military
Bureaucracy

Sample Plan:
[ ]Plan XYZ
Infrastructure 3/3 Dice used, X+Y Resources
-[ ]Project A 2 Dice, X Resources
-[ ]Project B 1 Die, Y Resources
Industry 1/3 Dice used, Z Resources
-[ ]Project C 1 Dice, Z Resources

Total: X+Y+Z Resources

After closing the vote, I will roll the dice assigned to each project and the result, plus the per-dice roll bonus, is added to the projects progress bar. A natural roll of 1 or 100 is either a critical failure or a critical success that will result in a malus or bonus of some kind. This Quest does not use four year plans, each turn being about one month with twelve months per year.

Certain projects either give or require Imperial Support, shortened to IS, which represent the amount of favours and goodwill you have with the Imperial politicians, officials and officers under you. Having low IS is bad, getting too low on IS can lead to the player character being assassinated and replaced, usually making a mess of your plans in the process.

There are a number of stats to keep track of, including but not limited in this case to Labor, Logistics, Capital Goods, Strategic Goods, Consumer Goods, Food and Health. Negative stats is bad of course while neutral represents meeting demand for the operations the Remnant wants to perform, but having a large surplus in the form of positive stats is preferable.

The other stats to worry about are Unrest and Corruption. Unrest represents the inclination of the general populace to accept Imperial rule. Emergency measures can temporarily freeze Unrest gain, but only an improvement of the underlying factors will make it go down again. Corruption is how many Resources are lost paying off megacorporations or other officers or are shoveled into the pockets of the people in charge. Each turn your total income is reduced by a percentage depending on how much corruption you have from 1-100.

Philosophy
While this is a mechanics heavy quest, the numbers exist to support the narrative, not the other way around. The narrative is important, read it, make observations, don't just be satisfied with "number positive". The numbers I give are not perfect and are subject to in-character bias.
