Hi it's john trask I was reading about the doctrine why don't we make our strategy against the new republic.
As the reimagined first order of templin institute has good ideas.
And take advantage of our strengths
I wont give you the chance to build your own strategy against the new republic because because I have seen enough cases where this gets strange and way too detailbrain-worm-ed for my tastes. You get to pick from the offered flavors of Star Wars fleet doctrine and can then still choose to only build anti-fighter corvettes.
Hi it's john trask I was reading about the doctrine why don't we make our strategy against the new republic.
As the reimagined first order of templin institute has good ideas.
And take advantage of our strengths
Two reason. First is that I would rather do things our way and adapt to the circumstances of the quest. And second is that I don't care for the ideas of pro-genocide bigots.
So next turn, Infrastructure is pretty much locked in due to poor rolls this turn, but we should take Recruitment Drives next turn for some much-needed bonuses while Intelligence and Subversion will be one of the new options there. Beyond that, I want to do another BRT, but I don't want to get too focused on it so I want to get started on Luxury Venues to prop up our support. I don't intend to get done next turn, but we can afford it and the IS is useful so I want to slow-walk it with a single die alongside doing the BRT with two dice. As for Food Industry, I'm attempt to get started on Moisture Farms as a cheap project in Resources, Stats and Progress, but looking at the dice probabilities, I'm thinking it might be worthwhile to put all three dice on the Bacta Farms for a solid chance of finishing it next turn.
Military will be putting a single die on Storage Maintenance to hopefully finish it while I want to put the other three dice on Vehicle Maintenance Depots to get it started. This is because I want to get the maintenance projects done to ensure that we don't lose any of our elite gear due to a lack of upkeep. It isn't like we are going to get started on our cloning or fighting the rebels anytime soon so we can afford to wait while we do preparations. For Industry, that is more complication, but I'm tempted to do the same as this turn. We will be able to afford another Subsurface Mines and it is our best bet for increasing income while doing Computer Assembly Plant gives us a minor boost to both income and capital goods, which isn't much, but we will certainly be feeling it with our low numbers.
Resources: 1133 (+117 Resources per Turn)(+140 before corruption)
Maglev Line Expansion (Phase 3) 163/200
A Maglev is in itself a relatively simple mode of transportation as you learn. All that is required are the actual line components itself, which double as the power supply for the actual trains. The trains and carriages then possess components that allow them to magnetically levitate and draw power from the line. Due to having no moving components and the simplicity with which the lines can be hardened against most environmental features, maintenance is an almost non issue. You would have never really cared to know, but a nice brunch with your infrastructure advisor remedied that, as it was either the project or the lamentations about the lack of many luxuries way out here far away from the galactic center of civilization. In any way, construction of additional lines is progressing nicely, both above ground and below.
Water Treatment Plants (Phase 2 of 2) 108/150
The point of water treatment is to remove pollution from the water to make it fit for consumption. Doing so requires certain sterilized and properly working and calibrated components and sensors. It was only due to the diligence of a plumber that the non-functioning components were discovered before it was too late. Said plumber has not been promoted and paid off to remain silent on the issue. You don't really want to deal with more unrest because polluted water would have nearly been rerouted into the water supply.
Computer Assembly Plant (Phase 1) (Personally) 104/100
One of many manufacturing capabilities Exegol currently lacks are computer chips and hardware. Being needed in everything and everywhere it was time to remedy that. The beginning of the large manufacturing plant has taken form over the last two months, but it will take more expansion and investment before it will reach full capacity and efficiency.
Subsurface Mines (Phase 1) (Subordinate)
Doing these deals with subordinates is a concept you are conflicted about, The Empire stands for order in a chaotic galaxy. Humans and aliens alike are selfish creatures that need a regulated environment and a guiding hand to flourish, at least in theory. By giving out these assignments you are creating disorder, promoting corruption, creating an oligarchic elite in control of some of your economic efforts, giving them the opportunity to enrich themselves while you focus your attention on other things, knowing full way a small amount of your resources and credits disappears into their pockets each month.
But maybe it is a tool you can use. You have noticed a small uptick in the resources you received from your asteroid mines after ordering the construction of a subsurface mine, an unsaid thank you maybe, something to motivate you to watch away. (+5 passive Resource income growth per turn as long as Corruption is above 15)
Bacta Farms (Personally) 188/400
Construction of the bacta farm megaproject progresses well. The main structural components have been completed and almost all completely put into place. Once that is done, the installation of the tank and environmental components will continue that will cycle the nutrient solution and filter off the excess bacta. All in all a delicate and highly technical process required. The fact you can think of doing this project at all speaks to the qualifications of your staff and the dedication of everyone calling the Exegol remnant their home. You may be small and weak right now, but you know you can become a power that will unite the scattered remnants of the Empire and return them to order with time.
Food Processing Facility (Subordinate)
In most civilised parts of the galaxy all food is processed. Food processing starts with turning grains into flour and then into bread and ends with prepackaged ration bars for the Empire's soldiers. The truth as much as you want to is that you cannot run a war effort on fresh beans and greens alone without a much greater strain on logistics. Having the problem no longer on your desk is thus very much to your satisfaction, especially since your supply of crunchies has been running dangerously low.
Insert local double agents 330/200
Your people went above and beyond, successfully installing double agents into every position of the Remnant. Equipped like this, you have eyes, ears and hidden blasters everywhere, but you know that powers like this need to be wielded with care lest it be turned against you. For now, you are content to read what they report to you, the efforts of your proactive agents will be focused on events and operations beyond the unknown regions.
BRT Supercomputing System Installation (Infrastructure (Stage 1)) 136/100
No department or subdivision can escape the need of bureaucracy or a dependence on computers. The BRT can assist in numerous ways this way, managing inventories, construction material deliveries, work shifts, droid schedules, payments and more. Further integration will give it a more active role in managing these projects, but will also require more computing hardware, droids and system integration.
BRT Supercomputing System Installation (Industry (Stage 1)) 131/100 Critical Success
Sometimes problems you need to overcome are chances for great breakthroughs. Given Exegol already needs to rely significantly on droids and computerized machines for many industrial processes, the benefits you can gain by connecting the various mines, factories, warehouses and other locations to the BRT in terms of improving operations are significantly greater. (Additional +1 Industry Dice bonus for Stage 1, +2 for Stage 2, +2 for Stage 3)
Storage Maintenance 246/300
Replacements for the climate control systems are completed quickly by droids and technicians, leaving the other less, and at the same time more, important protection measures. The fire detection and combating systems of the Exegol storage have not been inspected in Emperor knows how long and in many cases need to be repaired or replaced. This part of the maintenance work has been completed too, with only a select few arms lockers missing handheld fire extinguishers.
Stormtrooper Training Facilities 83/75
Stormtroopers are the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire and an icon of Imperial war efforts. Equipped with the high end gear you found in large amounts on Exogol, most of it on power with death trooper weapons, armor and auxiliary equipment, your stormtroopers shall become even deadlier and feared, but for that they will need to train and learn how to use the new equipment. Your infantry commanders promise to be able to present you with comprehensive reports on the training state of the ground forces soon enough, after which it may become time to look into the future.
Establish Patrols 106 (40/80/110/130)
Order cannot be maintained without a rigid structure and you sit atop that structure. You have seen captains, commanders and intelligence agents switch allegiances more often than you do uniforms as the Empire crumbled around you, the hole left by the Emperor's disappearance impossible to fill. You only manage to draft a simple, imperfect and rigid patrol schedule, but you are not under threat, no one knows you are here. If you gave the captains any more free space, they might try to leave for better ventures under a different banner. You cannot allow this, for it may spell doom for your aspirations of unity should Exegol be uncovered before you are ready.
Allow undercover agents to act outside the Unknown Regions
Sending your agents out is as easy as putting your name under a form and over the next few weeks hyperspace capable shuttles leave for the civilized parts of the galaxy. After almost a year, you finally have news and intelligence about the state of the broader galaxy again. More limited than you'd like, but it is at least something.
The situation is both better and worse than you expected. As expected, the New Republic still has the initiative in the overall war and the Remnants appear too fractured to resist. It is very easy to follow their victories and Imperial surrenders simply by watching the propagandist shit they send over the holonet. Every day more holdouts in the core fall to their advance, everyday they strengthen their hold on the galaxy's center, snuffing out one insurgent cell sympathetic to Imperial rule after the other.
Your agents tell you that Imperial forces based around Fondor under the command of Moff Merin are close to being overrun. Morale is low and rumors of a negotiated surrender circulate despite failing attempts to suppress it. As one of the more important shipyards, Fondor falling into New Republic hands is bad on two levels. There are of course the significant shipbuilding capabilities of the planet's yards and corporations that would fall into enemy hands, but then there also is the loss of Imperial resources, manpower, military- and civilian-assets that would be lost to the Remnants. You wish you had more time, but there might be none. Bar a miracle, Fondor will fall. If you want to save some of Merin's assets for your own cause you need to act fast and openly. Your name whispered into the right people's ears could still work wonders, but it is risky, not in terms that it might reveal your location but that New Republic intelligence and the other Remnants might ask themselves what exactly happened to Annlia Chrhod.
Imperial forces on Kuat however are holding out despite what you feared when you disappeared into the Unknown Regions a year ago. Admiral Kenner is fighting the New Republic forces tooth and nail on every front. From what you can gather, the Kuat theater is where the NR's elite units are deployed in force: Ackbar, Rogue Squadron, Jan Dodonna, Crix Madine, Carlist Rieekan, Hera Syndulla, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. Even Skywalker's name has been dropped a few times. But despite all the many ships, starfighters, men and material thrown against Imperial lines, the Kuat front has not budged over the two months of silent observation. Kenner and his flagship, the Executor class cruiser Bellonah, appear wherever they are needed, when they are needed to pull Imperial battlegroups out of the fangs of New Republic forces. The truth is however, in your professional opinion, that things are more dire than they look. Kenner has the Bellonah, but Kuat has the Kuat defense fleet and while Kuat Drive Yards, the other megacorps and the yard workers have always been and likely will stay to be sympathetic to the Empire's cause, they are more loyal to credits in the end. If the tides turn, they might try to cut a deal with the New Republic, but that is as of now a less imminent issue.
Near the core are two others, as of now less involved Remnants. Led from Anaxes and Corellia under the command of Moff Tellion and General Subert respectively, they appear to be fighting skirmish battles with New Republic reconnaissance elements at their borders, intent to keep them away, but otherwise do not appear all that invested into the heavy fighting going on around Kuat. Maybe they think by staying out of the fighting they have more time to prepare, maybe they too hope to snatch up what remains of Kenner's assets once he buckles under the pressure, maybe they wait for political concessions, you do not know. What you know is once Kuat has fallen, they will be next.
Who you have only limited information on are the other notable remnants focused around Scarif, Eriadu, Kessel, Mustafar and Bastion. Far away from the core, they appear for now focused on themselves, quietly gathering Assets to their cause. Sooner or later the New Republic will run out of steam, requiring time to recuperate and focus on internal issues and you theorize they are banking on that. Now that you have agents in the wider galaxy again you can do the same as them and recruit Imperial assets to your case.
Exegol may not yet be in a position to support the other Remnants right now, but there are other ways than direct support. Focusing subversion efforts on the New Republic and support on the Imperial Insurgency and Criminal Syndicates could prove a potent method to let the New Republic bleed as they run out of breath and overstretch their hold.
But those are things to ponder at a future time.
Read Oshha's Omake, it is good. I resurrected this quest from the dead, please validate me with a nice comment
So this tells us quite a bit. First is that Fondor, Kuat, Anaxes and Corellia are going to fall. We won't be able to help them before they do so we should write them off for any long-term planning. The best they can do for us is provide us with loot gains when they fall and delay the New Republic to buy time for the non-Core Imperial Remnants. The second thing we learn is that when the Core falls, the New Republic will need to take a breather. Between that and the conquest of the Core, we have some time to build up and develop ourselves into a proper threat.
No, I think we can delay the fall of them though. We can recruit Imperial assets to run hit and run tactics. It's just deciding where we can save and not.
No, I think we can delay the fall of them though. We can recruit Imperial assets to run hit and run tactics. It's just deciding where we can save and not.
This doesn't actually disagree with anything I said. We cannot save the Core warlords due to them falling before we can take action. The non-Core warlords we can save though we could choose to let one or two of them fall. Personally, I would be against that and would advocate that we make our move at that point if we hadn't gotten active at that point. If we aren't ready to act when the non-Core warlords start to fall, well, I would consider that to be a soft failure state. Assuming that my reading of the situation is correct.
It isn't a matter of willingness on our part. It is the fact that those warlords will fall before we have the physical capability to prevent that from happening.
Can we arrange for the "evacuation" of some of the Imperials that are getting beat down, if not to our own territory to other warlords that could use the help? (Playing secret General behind the scenes)
If we had the cloning labs up and running I'd have asked if we could send them as reinforcements, but guess that's a moot question atm.
Can we arrange for the "evacuation" of some of the Imperials that are getting beat down, if not to our own territory to other warlords that could use the help? (Playing secret General behind the scenes)
On Discord, Bot has mentioned that will be an option next turn for Fondor and will be an option any time that an Imperial Remnant falls. However we don't know the exact details of it yet as Bot is still working on the new actions for next turn so the specifics of the action have yet to be finalised.

Imperial Army
[]Infantry Soldier Engrams
Allows basic combat training for Kamino and Spaarti clones during the growth phase.
(0/100 30 Resources per Die)
[]Vehicle Maintenance Depots
The current storage facilities for Exegol's ground vehicles are enough to keep them from rain, but performing maintenance on them is another matter. Depots with the right facilities and tools will have to be constructed to keep the machines in working order.

[]Reverse-engineer Exegol Equipment
The blasters, body armor and support equipment we found on Exegol is clearly of high quality and of Imperial production, but we don't have the production templates. Sacrificing some of the units to reverse engineer the templates would enable us to produce it in the future.

[]Demobilize Ground Forces
At the moment the large ground army is only an unproductive appendage. With the threat from the New Republic limited, we can demobilize some of them to add to our workforce.

Bureaucracy (3 Dice): +1
[ ]Establish Patrols
To prevent over-ambitious officers from acting against protocol, all deployments of Imperial Navy assets larger than a starfighter patrol must be reviewed and authorized by high command. Without this constant work, entire fleets sit idle in the slips, allowing raiders to act with impunity.
DC: 40/80/110/130 (If not done, then Rebel raiding units and pirates can operate without response. Anything lower than passing the highest DC creates gaps that can be exploited.)
[ ]Prepare Reserves
In the event of a major operation, only the direct oversight of one of the Empire's most-trusted can cut through protocol and allow speedy reinforcement. If the rebels attack, you must be personally prepared to lead the counter-charge.
DC: 50 (Allows deployment of reinforcements against major enemy attacks, otherwise expect major time delays.)
[]Allow Special Operations Teams to act outside the Unknown Regions
Fighting the New Republic on an even footing is far from the most optimal course of actions as of now, but small teams are able to move more covertly while combating the NR on the small scale.

With the Galaxy in disarray as it is there are many Imperial assets on the run that could be recruited to our cause.

[]Political Bonus Payments
The easiest way to gather support is still "bonus payments" in the right places.

[]Strategic Planning
While the current situation is acceptable it could be better, especially if you want to start making long term plans instead of just reacting to the latest issues. By setting up a department to properly track your various projects, you can predict the future costs of each project to some degree.

By going through the Imperial organizational machine yourself in the hunt for people misappropriating funds and punishing them you can reduce corruption.

Finishing up, increasing resources & fun spy activities.
Next turn we should get started on infiltrating remnants we want to steal tech from, scarif seems like a good first target since they have the dark trooper droid tech. Automating our ships when we get more resources would be nice too.
edit: I've removed the orbital and I also got the shuttle assembly hangar, so at worst we'll be at -3 logistics and at best we'll remain neutral. We'll get roughly 200 per turn which I believe makes it worth the costs.
Okay, Infrastructure is getting the Water Treatment Plants done while we need to do Maglev Lines to get the Logistics for more mines and the income that they provide. Due to a lack of Logistics and Capital Goods, I want to hold off on the mines for now to focus on getting more Capital Goods because half of our projects require them. To this end, I am putting putting all three Industry dice on Computer Assembly Plant for more Cap Goods and income while giving the Nanoforge to subordinates to secure a relatively hefty boost to Cap Goods so it won't be a concern for the future.
Meanwhile Food Industry is finishing off the Bacta Farms so we can focus on a new project next turn and finally get our Health stat in the positives. Intelligence and Subversion is getting what we can out of Fondor while we can. I am focusing on getting Resources and CapGoods because we need those things to get by in the short term so we can worry about the long term. Services is doing another BRT to continue our progress on it. I have chosen Military because it is the category that currently has the most dice and we have the most dice rolls there. In hindsight, we should have done Military first or second for the BRT after running the numbers.
Military is finishing Storage Maintenance and getting started on Vehicle Maintenance Depots. This is because I want to do them now to minimise any losses from a lack of maintenance because that is time sensitive. Meanwhile Recruitment Drive is the focus on Bureaucracy. I am putting our Free Die on Funnel Fondor because we can do Recruitment Drive again in the future if needed, but Fondor is a limited time thing.
This plan is a bit at an effective 278 Resources being spent this turn, but I am hoping that Fondor will get us more Resources and that with the actions we are taking this turn, we will be secure enough in Cap Goods for a few turns that we can take more Mining Projects to increase our income as our logistics allow.
I have two problems with this plan.
First is that it spends four much Logistics as we stand to get while starting at zero Logistics. With good rolls, we will be at -9 Logistics. With bad rolls, we will be at -12 Logistics, which is far worse than what we started the quest with.
Second is the Resource spending. Admittedly the QM did only realise after this plan was made that they forgot to deduct the costs of last turn's plan, but it will spend most of our remaining reserves. Also admittedly the new income will help make up for that, but those mines will also increase corruption and tank our Logistics so I don't see it as fair trade. I would rather spread out the costs more so our stats can keep up. Though the big thing is how the plan offsets these costs by obliterating our Logistics by plunging them into the double-digits.
Otherwise, I don't have any real objection except I feel that it is mathematically better to have BRT on Military rather than doing Industry again.
