I dont like pell he is military trough and trough he will be eaten alive in the political field and tarkin atleast wants reform drastic reforms but its clear thats the only way the republic is gonna survive Adam i picked for his cold calculated numbers so we get the numbers guy in the right position and Isard is probaly self explained baio i think is the glue to lets this goverment succed because he can smooth over many ruffeled feathers if we get down to reforms.
 
I'm inclined to at least see a plan with Panaka in it before I vote. He's listed as a PalpaTool but I'd rather see Yularen for fleets. So, uh, I guess I should build my own plan then.
 
I like A Team because it creates a very interesting dynamic personality wise and ideologically wise.

We have the Authoritarian Warhawk in Tarkin, and Liberal Pacifist in Organa, the Technocratic Pragmatist in Jensen, and the Opportunistic Sith Agent in Isard. It also helps that each are likely to be very competent in their roles. I think Tarkin might be able to have his edges rubbed off, and Isard might be able to be flipped. Jensen can learn to be more flexible, and Organa can learn to be pragmatic. After all the only other idealist in the cabinet is the Jar Jar. Organa's going to have to wade through the dirty senate and deal with Tarkin, Isard, and Jensen all guys who are not idealists.

Hold on. He was a captain when he first showed up in The Clone Wars, so he would presumably be lower ranked at this point. With that in mind, isn't he a bit low-ranked for this position?

[X]plan two heart beats from doom

I suppose one benefit to both of the options for Intelligence being from Sidious's block is that we have an obvious slot for the Sidious representative that we have to take to avoid a game-over.

Yeah Pell is not a political person which we sadly need. The other major thing he has going for him is he's really pro Republic. He died after his plan to rig a starship Palpatine was aboard to fly into a sun failed.

Tarkin was a Captian during the Stark Hyper Space War.

Not a highly ranked one, but he did have a command and is considered well versed in fleet management.
 
It is don't worry so...any plans for what to do with them?
Use Bail Organa to keep the worldw just independent enough that centralization is a snails crawl that means Palpatine can't blame on Jar Jar fully or object loudly too.

use Jansen and a combination of the above to make sure that while we expand the fleet enough to satisfy certain political groups, it's restrained sufficiently by limited industry to support it to keep it from being capable of supporting full authoritarian.

win Isard over and get him to train a replacement with more loyalty to us than Palpatine. fake his death and let him go his merry way.

let Terkin get us the ships we need and be as anti separatist as he wants while restraining his efforts towards authoritarianism using our other ministers and budget control with Jensen's help so nothing he's doing gets entirely out of hand.
 
... Guys, Tarkin is the one who came up with the Death Star concept in the first place. The infamous "Tarkin Doctrine" revolved around making the Galaxy at large too afraid of the repercussions of stepping out of line to act.

The man does not understand that when people think they have nothing left to lose, then they've got nothing to keep them from rising up.
 
Yeah the best way to deal with the ministers foibles is to have them have to compromise with each other.

But is he that man yet? This is the younger Tarkin who hasn't gone through the Clone Wars.

I think he isn't that man but already shares some of that mans views. fortunately as you suggest we can counter balance him with other ministry heads and use natural government red tape and budget issue to ensure he can't get fully out of hand with any of his aspirations.
 
I rather like the A team, but imo Tarkin has a potentiality of exploding in our faces... violently.

Thus
[x] The A minus Team
-[x]Bail Organa
-[x]A'dama Jensen
-[x]Armand Isard
-[x]Pell Baylo
 
I assess that these options are Hell No/F tier:

Do Not Build a Government - Defeats the purpose of the action and will destabilize an already teetering Republic for little gain.
Mas Ameda - An IC-known definite Palpatine lackey who is practically guaranteed to undermine us.
Lott Dod - the Corporations having absurd levels of power is what caused the Naboo crisis and has been destabilizing the Galaxy over the past few decades.
 
[X] The A minus Team

A thought: Palpatine suggested Panaka because if we don't accept his pawn, he'll tolerate someone he can run circles around.

@Magoose: both Ministers of Intelligence are with Palpatine, and no Minister of Fleets is. Was this intentional?

No Papa palps wanted that toy and in universe it is explained that tarkin doctrine is the one who created that monster.Btw the tarkin doctrine might not be applicable but we can probaly make a hybrid with carry function and squadrons of fighter why we can make a ship only with point defense and a fuckton of fighters and we would still be ruusan conform if barely its a neat little legislative hole we can work with and we could build bigger and Bader carrier ships.

Edit:For the general puplic i mean in universe but the ones who know ?Yea all Palpatine.

Even if he shares some of those views (which I agree he probably holds already) its one thing to hold views out of power/responsibility and criticize; and another thing to have power and realize how unrealistic your views are when applied to reality. I think there is the possibility that Tarkin goes in with mindset that has to be adjusted by working with other ministers, dealing with the politics of the senate and republic members, and just plain logistics and economics.

Don't get me wrong Tarkin is(or will be) an evil shit but applied in Moderation Tarkin doctrine does make a certain kind of sense. We're never going to be able to garrison the whole galaxy. So having a military scary enough that people are afraid to face it is a perfectly viable idea. The problem is that was taken to the extreme by the empire who you know was a asshole dictatorship. The trick will be keeping the Superweapons* to the absolute minimum cut out the warcrimes and making the scary part of the "Tarkin Doctrine" a well trained military able to apply overwhelming force when deployed.


*Stuff like torpedo spheres can possibly stay. It's just a space station with a bunch of missiles on it.

Did a little digging on the wiki, and I don't like Armand, like at all.

The man was willing to ice his daughter, who he trained, because she was becoming good at her job.

I don't want anything to do with the guy.
