May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

Reader mode
Finally got around to adding Galen to the front page. Spoilers: He's amazing at Learning and "meh" at almost everything else.

His intrigue should be upped a little bit since je planted the exhaust port weakness on the Death Star with no one knowing about it.

That happened after several years of his ideals being trampled on and "learning to lie" in his own words.

Right now he's still a younger and far more optimistic man than he was in Rogue One.

Sure, but the roots have to be there and he pulled it off in the ultra paranoid Empire.

He bought the whole "Jedi Rebellion" thing the Empire used to justify Order 66 and genuinely believed that his work for the Death Star was actually on power plants to help protect the masses at first. Also he thought that Krennic was one of the good guys before he learned about the Death Star. It's definitely justified.

Don't get me wrong, if this was around canon 0 BBY his Intrigue would be in the high 20s/low 30s.

Well to be fair he was good friends with Krennic so he let his friendship blind him and within just a few years he had already read through the Empire's bullshit and fled. I am not saying it should be in the 20/30's now I am saying it should at least be above ten.

I gotta admit, I actually wasn't sure we're get him as a Hero Unit this turn. Between the uncertain reward:
Dr. Snark said:
[] Mote of Stardust: Cheriss has found the guy for your research division. Not a guy, as she pointed out repeatedly in her report, the guy. Galen Erso, one of the galaxy's most highly respected geniuses is currently stuck on Courscant in a dead-end job, and according to some cursory investigating he's being treated like dirt by his superiors. He's in a prime position to be recruited...if it weren't for the fact that you know better, and also that it seems like there's a lot of people just "randomly" sticking around his home. Extracting one of the galaxy's finest minds from Coruscant itself while he's under active surveillance would be unquestionably difficult, but the prize of Erso could be well worth it. Chance of Success: 50% Reward: Galen Erso extracted from Coruscant

And the 'meh' roll:

I was expecting that our reward would have been: Galen Erso is successfully extracted from Krennic's clutches, and starts living in the capital of Neutral Space, Taris... but that it'd require an extra (Learning?) action to actually recruit him for our organization.

That said, I can hardly complain that we've added a new Hero Unit to our stable. :cool:

Honestly it's that low more for the sake of contrast than anything else. Think of it this way; would you expect someone with that low of a "score" in deception to be able to successfully hide one of the greatest acts of sabotage the galaxy has ever seen?

I understand that but honestly it'd be kind of pointless to add on an extra action for that. And to be honest, if you're going as far to extract someone from Coruscant itself you're not just going to say "bye, we'll get back to you in a few months" afterwards.

Err, I think the point of high deception is that most people do not think you are deceptive.

Anzat (example: Volfe Karkko)--retractable cheek-tentacles which go through a victim's nose and eat their brains. Strong regenerative capability. Telepathy (includes domination). Long-lived (950+ years). Add Force Sensitivity of their victims to their own. Left to their own devices, will feed on approximately a dozen sentients per day. NO. Do not. They will kill your genemodding team. There are stories that they even prey upon Jedi. Sadly, no chance we can turn them on politicians who neither need nor use their brains. Possible interesting hunt for HK-47, whose willingness for overkill and making utterly sure his targets are dead should be sufficient. Additionally, as a droid he cannot be preyed upon by them. They pretend at civilization, but this is merely a hobby. They only care about stealth and the kill. Eliminating every last one from the galaxy would be a boon to sentients everywhere.

Went to check them out in the wookiepedia, and I feel I must ask: Why the hell haven't anyone bombed their homeworld to bloody dust already? Or "accidentally" dropped a few multi-km rocks there? Because holy shit, they seem to be composed only of evil bastards and people that will become evil bastards in a tragic fall from grace story as soon as they taste brains.

Well, worst case scenario, we've denied him to Sidious (for now, at least), and we can attach him to Learning actions to increase the chance of supercrits. That said, I'm a bit surprised he doesn't have any traits relating to specializing in certain fields of research.
 
I look forward to omakes of him realizing that the overly excited engineer crystal lady can actually just about keep up with him in the lab.

If there's one thing I hate about Star Wars, it's the trend of extrapolating one character's traits onto their entire species. I shouldn't immediately think "This is the death sticks guy's race, isn't it?" the moment you say they're all drug dealers.

yeah, there is a entire planet, sometimes multiple planets. full of these people, unless the species has a giant hive mind, they are not going to have a species wide stigma like "drug dealers" or "criminals" ya know?

The stigma might be there. It's essentially the racism you see in real life writ large, along the lines of entire species. The thing is that they shouldn't be right.

and sadly, they are almost ALWAYS RIGHT.
if a species in star wars is said to be made up of slavers, they will all be slavers, if a species is made up of gangsters, their gangsters. its kind of annoying.
