So I just had an idea for future clone batches. We host the Imperial Games. A multi-round event that pushes the athletes to their limits in body and mind. The champion of the male and female leauge of the games each become the Gene sire of half of the upcoming batch of clones. Or if we have the gene engineering for it we make the gene template for the full off a mixture of the two.

So one thing I would like to do next turn is this: [] Novator Station Automation Refit Development.
This is because we have sufficient Resource right now that getting more isn't an urgent concern so that free up Industry dice. Meanwhile, we need Labour as we are fairly rapidly running out and refitting the Novator Station should give us another short-term source that doesn't involve reducing our military. Additionally, I am not worried about the actual refit project because we have the Resources and Cap Goods for it.
True, but there are more things that I want to do in Military than in Industry so automating the Novator Station comes first for me with automating the Star Destroyers being a later project.
New Republic accidentally assumed Imperial Warlord signed peace treaty. "Of Course we are still at war" says spokewoman Chrhod. "Her Excellency has merely postponed military investments to a more opportune date".
"The boss wants to want?" exclaims Dina Nizhon, a junior member of the Exogol Imperial Clone Research Program as her immediate superior delivers their latest assignment.
"Now that the clone cylinders are finally set up, Admiral Chrhod wants us to start producing clones in them," repeats Edgard Fellix, a senior member of the same program, "And the genetic template is supposed to be herself."
"Seriously, she has that much of an ego?" scoffs Alavno Holwolf, Dina's partner and fellow junior scientist.
"The ego of our ultimate superior is irrelevant," says Edgard as he glares at Alavno, "We have our orders and we will carry them out to the best of our ability. Is that clear, Mister Holwolf?"
"Yes, sir," answers Alavno before deciding to press his luck, "Just why the kriff aren't we using the Jango Fett genetic samples we got? They're a well-proven template and the whole reason that we got a pure sample is so we can use it to make new clones."
"As I said, it is the orders of Admiral Chrhod," answers Fellix, "Ours is to do, not to question."
"But seriously, if we need more stormtroopers, then we should just make some Fett clones," continues Alavno, causing Dina to internally wince at the growing glower on Fellix's face, "They have a proven record as infantry, as stormtroopers even. Not to mention that they fit existing stormtrooper armour."
"Holwolf," says Fellix warningly, but the junior scientist goes on regardless of his superior's warning and growing displeasure.
"Have you seen the size of those tits the Admiral tries to hide under that uniform," Holfwolf continues, vulgarly holding his hands in front of his chest to demonstrate, "While I appreciate them as much as any red-blooded man, they're too big for our current chest pieces. We'll have to rework entire sets of armour just to-"
"Enough, Holwolf," snaps Fellix, interrupting the younger man as he really starts to get going, "Shut your Force-forsaken pie-hole before you get into trouble. You might want Fett clones for stormtroopers, but Admiral Chrhod wants clones of herself for reasons only known to her. I can make a guess and that is that we don't just need people for stormtroopers right now. And since she is the one calling the shots around here, shut up and do your damn job before I have to report you."
Technically speaking, Fellix should already be reporting Alavno for his insubordination and remarks about the Admiral, but everyone in the room knows that won't be happening. Alavno has an uncle or something in the mining oligarchs that have sprung up in the last year so any minor report against him is more likely to result in action against Fellix rather than Alavno. Short of something major that can't be covered up, any investigation would see Fellix getting punished for unjustly reporting and slandering a loyal and hardworking servant of the Empire.
Nonetheless, Alavno knows not to press his luck, especially when Admiral Chrhod is involved, no matter how tangentially, and shuts up.

"Egotastic bitch," grumbles Alavno as he and Nina get to work, "Wants almost two hundred thousand clones of herself. Let me guess, she is going to start calling herself a Moff. or Grand Admiral. Or Grand Moff. No, wait, I got it. She will call herself Grand Admiral Moff."
"Please stop talking treason," pleads Nina as she glares at her work, "At least while I am still in the room."
"But my dear Nina, who would I have to say it to?" Alavno mockingly asks, "We both know you don't have the guts to report me and even if you didn't nobody would take your word over mine."
"Kriff you too," retorts Nina and Alavno just laughs at her.
"At least there is one upside to this whole mess," says Alavno, "It is that we'll have a bunch of eye candy in three years' time. Don't get me wrong, the Admiral is a brown Rimmer, but her skin is light enough to be attractive and her face is decent enough. No real beauty, but still pleasing on the eyes. Her tush is a bit flat, but I suppose that her tits make up for her buttocks. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with some proper physical training.. And her hair, her hair is as nice as her bust. Thick brown black that is the sort of wavy that ends in curls. Don't you agree, Nina?"
"Oh my Sith, just shut up, Alavno," snaps Nina, "And don't drag me into this. Just let me get on with my work. Kriff, I don't care if you don't do your own work, just keep your perverted fantasies about the Admiral to yourself."
"Hey, they aren't about the Admiral," laughs Alavno, "Just her lookalike clones who will be of age and legal in a few years time. Unlike Admiral Chrhod, the clones won't be too old or too out of my reach."
"Don't you already have a girlfriend?" asks Nina in disgust.
"For now," answers Alavno, "Yeah, so about our work, do we really need all these credits?"
"Just what are you suggesting?" asks Nina with some dread, not sure if this change in subject is going to be better than the old one.
"Look, we don't have any training engrams for flash-training the clones while they grow," says Alavno, "Yet we are starting up the clones to be capable of receiving flash-training that doesn't exist. Practically wasted credits."
"If you are suggesting that we sabotage the project, forget it," hisses Nina as she stares at the arsehole, "Did you forget that the Admiral is personally involved in this project?"
"Now, now, my dear Nina, just because Admiral Chrhod has ordered us to use her as the genetic template doesn't mean that she is taking a personal hand in this whole affair," replies Alavno with a smirk, "No, our Admiral is delegating the whole project, letting some subordinates handle it while she distracts herself with pointless stuff like giving water to the common people. You would have thought that for someone as supposedly smart as her, she would have given up on that wasteful endeavour as soon as it started hitting the setbacks."
"Whatever you do, just leave me out of it," mutters Nina, glaring at the smug and arrogant man before getting on with her work, just hoping that when Alavno's corruption backfires on him, it doesn't spill over on her.
Provided that someone ever does something about him. One thing that Nina has noticed while serving the Galactic Empire is that for all its talk about law and order, corrupt dirtbags have a common tendency to get away with their misdeeds.

Here have another QM-approved omake, this time regarding the Chrhod clones and some of the scientists in charge of making them happen.
You stand in the clone facility control center, looking at the countless tanks through the observation window at your 180.000 genetic copies gestating inside them. At six times the normal growth rate, it will still take three years before they are ready, but this expedition was always a longshot. If you want to unite the Empire, you will need many, many more. You can already imagine the thousands of clones with your face working tirelessly and loyally for your grand design. A grin grows on your face as you gaze upon their magnificence.

Public Service Bureau Report
The PSB, which is in the process of renaming itself to the Imperial Public Service Bureau, has been flooded with complaints about the reintroduction of the ration measures. A flood that became a trickle the moment you made your promises. Now a lot depends on whether or not you can fulfill their demands, raise their standard of living and increase food production sufficiently. The PSB points out especially that a good buffer should always be available in case of a sudden population increase due to a clone batch being ready for decantation or evacuation of Imperial population to Exegol. (18 labor of clones need 6 food, new suboptions added in Food Industry)
Ground Forces Training Report
As promised, General Maxilian has produced a first report on the state of your ground forces. As far as you can tell from your agents' reports, it is only slightly polished up to make his accomplishments seem greater than they seem. As initially suspected, training and skill level varies wildly between units on both the officer and soldier level for both the army regiments and the stormtrooper corps. Under the General's orders he began a comprehensive training and exercise regime to drill them into soldiers worthy of the equipment given to them. If any of your colleagues could see that your army regiments are equipped with Death Trooper equipment, they would surely attempt to strangle you. In any case, endless drills can only tell you so much. Real combat is needed to baptize them in the fires of war and see if the training is working. Since you are reluctant to return to civilized space, the only possible source of real combat is to be found in the Unknown Regions.

[]Orbital Defenses (Phase 2)
While not as good as warships, armed space stations can be constructed in orbit around Exegol to repel enemy warships. Armed with a mixture of anti-warship and anti-starfighter weaponry, these space stations are capable of fighting space battles whilst their lack of mobility reduces their strategic useability.

[]Spaarti Clone Cylinder Refinement
The Spaarti template can theoretically mass produce clones three times faster than Kaminoan ones, the downside being that these clones have relatively low mental capacity and problem solving skills and can thus be used only for low level tasks almost akin to droids. With some adjustment of the process that should be more than enough for Spaarti to serve as mass produced cannon fodder.

With some basic defenses in place it is time to leave this sheltered world behind and further explore this sector.

Battles against the primitive races living out here should prove a nice trial of fire for our troops as well.
(0/150 5 Resources per Die)
[ ]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.

Vote by plan. Thanks to Oshha for giving me access to some of his SW quest notes. I resurrected this quest from the dead, please validate me with a nice comment
Okay, this plan has no particular focus, but I do try to do a few things. First is getting more Basing in Infrastructure because we need it so I am putting all three Infrastructure Dice. Fortunately, that means we are pretty much guaranteed to +5 Basing with a decent chance of increasing that to +10 Basing. Beyond that, I am beginning to get luxury housing going, starting with Luxury Residual Accommodations over Luxury Residences due to the lower chance of corruption for it.
Next is Industry where I am taking a break from getting more mines to work on the Novator Station refit because I am hoping it will give us another short-term source of Labour. Meanwhile, I am completing another phase of Computer Assembly Plant because it is somewhat cheap, gets us more Income and Cap Goods while only offering a small gain in corruption and I am making a start on the shuttle production because the Orbital Farms is going to cut into our logistics.
Speaking of Orbital Farms, in Food Industry, I am putting two dice on Orbital Farms with High Calorie Grains because we need the Food. We might need more in the future, but this should give us some breathing room. I am also doing Clone Livestock Farms with a subordinate action because we can afford it with Orbital Farms and the corruption for it is low.
Intelligence & Subversion is purging corruption to make up for the lacklustre effort to fight it last turn. To this end, I am putting two regular dice and both free dice into it to get maximum effect because we can only take Purge Corruption so often. We have pretty much guaranteed chances of hitting all three DCs. For the last two dice, I am putting one on infiltrating Kuat because we have good odds of reaching Stage 3 before it falls while I am beginning to infiltrate Corellia because of the other two Core warlords, it is both the one more likely to fall and more likely to be attacked first. I also don't want to steal stuff from Kuat because that seems like a surefire way to make it fall faster.
In Services, I am continuing with the Food Industry BRT from last turn whilst also doing the last Stage 1 BRT project. Hopefully both will complete this turn so we can get an +2 to all Dice. Otherwise, I am addressing public concerns by starting Basic Education Initiatives with two dice. I am picking Mixed Focus because we need both loyalty and smarts and I don't want to focus one at the expense of the other. Also I don't feel like losing Dice Bonus or IS and while I would be willing to add IS loss for a dice bonus, I am worried about neglecting installing loyalty/indoctrination in the youth. That's how you get revolutions for dictatorships like ourselves.
Military is doing Turbolaser Ground Network so we can have some ground defences to go with our space defences. Beyond that, I want to start getting started on unlocking the Spaarti clones because the Kaminoan clones just don't fast enough to make up for any immediate manpower needs. I am also going for TIE Pilot Training Facility because it is the last training facility that we have to do and I would rather not find ourselves with a shortage of starfighter pilots in the future, especially considering how quickly the Empire tends to go through them. Edit: Changed TIE training to ISD I refit dev after discussing with QM on Discord.
Finally, I am continuing with Strategic Planning because I feel that the dice bonus is more valuable than any prestige or IS gains from declaring ourselves to be a Moff.
Sending them some of your thousands of TIE interceptors probably would have a bigger effect. If you send the ISD-Is into the meatgrinder you will probably never see them again and to what end, if I may ask. Building new ships of that size is a costly and time intensive affair. Contact covertly is there if you want to get options for how to help them.
First of all, how? I mean, how do you intend to physically move the ships from Exogol all the way to Kuat. I don't mean to be rude, but there are serious logistical issues with this idea that make it infeasible.
Even putting aside the logistics of doing that plan, I would honestly rather not even if we could magically do it with a snap of our fingers. Imperial Star Destroyers don't grow on trees and even if we don't want to use them right now, we do want them in the future. I would personally conserve and improve our own strength rather than weaken ourselves to delay Kuat's fall. Maybe if we could stop Kuat from falling, but as things stand, I don't see any time being brought by sacrificing those Star Destroyers being enough to be worth the time and resources need to replace them in the future.
