I'm so confused man. You previously posted the plan vote and I made a plan but now there's another vote for the same thing and I missed it. Feels bad man.
Still begging for a moratorium so we have a chance to submit these.
Anyway here's my plan that got berried.
[X] Plan: Foundation For The Future
-Personal: 4 actions
—[X][Personal]Study your own cybernetics
In order to make improvements on your cybernetics, first you need to study them. In some ways, this is dangerous, because you'll be shutting down your own life support to tinker with it. Ultimately, right now at least, this is very safe. Your will to live has never been stronger. You can feel the force singing in your veins. The force will not let you die to this.
—[X][Personal]Design cybernetics for Snips
Snips is missing both legs, some of her lower body, and part of her right arm. The cybernetic systems she will need are comparable to yours. Studying your own cybernetics will help you design a set for Snips.
—[X][Personal]Plan training for Snips
—[X][Personal]Set up illusions for Snips
—[X][Personal]Make a droid
You built a droid, long ago, to serve as a companion and a translator. Your needs have changed significantly since them. It's time to build a new friend, one who can help you manage the empire and, occasionally, kill those who get in your way. When you don't feel like doing it yourself.
It's less satisfying not doing it yourself.

Military: 3 actions
—[X][Military]Redesign Tie Fighters
You often to fly a fighter. The current Tie Fighter program focuses more on quantity than quality. The Emperor preferred to treat soldiers as disposable, but that's poor military leadership. While, certainly, the flimsiness of the current design combined with their remarkable maneuverability is a reasonable method to sort the wheat from the chaff. But you could redesign it better. Faster and even more maneuverable. Perhaps put on additional weapons. Maybe include a somewhat better shield, or an astromech port.
—[X][Military]Improve Army Training
The Imperial army was gutted following the clone wars. Many who should have become a new, experienced, corps of non-com officers were instead killed or purged in command, either from standing in the way of the clones, or later due to questions about their loyalties. You have a very large military, one built around the idea that quantity can replace quality.
But... you know that's not true. You served in the Clone wars, where quality consistently defeated quantity every time. You need to implement a program of improved training and conditioning for your soldiers, preferably before they march into a slaughter.
Of course, you can easily bypass this need by simply burning planets from orbit.
—[X][Military]Improve Fighter Training
The Imperial Navy is very good at what it does. The officers for the flagships were all drawn from aristocratic families with a long tradition of service. They've all been to various officer schools, and frankly know all they need to about command, tactics, and strategy.
But you know who wasn't drawn from aristocratic families who can afford private education in a war college? Fighter pilots. You're in a position to set up a mandatory training program for fighter pilots to improve their reflexes and readiness.
-Economic: 2 Actions
—[X][Economic]Sacrifice an economic action for an additional personal action
May be taken until you're out of economic actions
—[X][Economic]Step-up military production
-Diplomatic: 1 action.
—[X][Diplomatic]Threaten the Hutts
-Espionage: 1 action.
—[X][Espionage]Investigate loyalty of Imperial Intelligence Agencies

Okay, too explain the reasoning behind my choices I need to explore Vader as a character here.
On the Personal side of things his entire life has been defined by who he views as his family. First solely his mother and the droids he built while he was in slavery, Then the Jedi order and the specific members of it which he developed a relationship with, then his fellow soldiers, and finally Padme.
His personal actions right now are focused on beginning the building of another family for himself one way or another. Padmes resurrection can wait until he's in a better position to do so and have it go well.
Regarding his empire focused actions the driving idea behind them is a mix his personal hatred of his time under slavery, the Hutts who represent that time, and his frustration with the Jedi for not doing anything about it. Along side his view of how an military should work.
From the Strategic side of things he's essentially drawing upon the already established fear-mongering of Jedi, his frustration with Jedi inaction regarding slavery, and the Hutts being despised to create a big external enemy to focus on.
Then using this external enemy to justify the building of a task force to destroy them once and for all. Which will be the first focus of his reforms and redesigns and can then be used to justify greater restructuring later.
In consort with the intelligence agencies becoming more personally loyal to him a greater effort to bring the organs of the empire to heel can be undertaken later.
Edit:—————:
My justification for not taking the Internal Security option in the military segment is that with the focus of this plan being maiming external to the empires daily business is that our strong anti slavery stance will be taken as general flag waving to gather support rather than an intention to really reform anything.
We'll be able to implement this at the same time of more internal reforms after we build up our military and gain the prestige of crushing the Hutts.
