"What’s riding on this is at most the life or death of the state. Compared to individual rights and liberty, the state is just not worth all that much. Well then, everyone, shall we begin?"

--Yang Wen-li "Legend of Galactic Heroes"

Premise:

With the establishment of Palpatine's New Order, the Imperial military was busy dividing up the galaxy into zones for recruitment. The Navy, of course, was far more prestigious and gotten the valuable Core worlds to have best possible recruits with minimal investment in alliance with the Stormtrooper Corps.

This forced the Imperial Army (IA) to rely on the Outer Rim, an heavily exploited region for thousands of years by the Core. Taris was designated as a priority supply point and the IA built up industries to supply and arm their troops in this oversector of the galaxy.

You are the Moff of Taris, and have a sizeable garrison at your command and a ISD-II in orbit to defend your planet.

The problem with your rule is that the Emperor has died and the Empire has effectively ceased to exist.

So, Moff? Will you be the whale eating kind of Moff or the People's Moff?

Regardless, may the Force be with you.

Fun things to do

You have an Ion Cannon emplacement to disable any Warlord or Republic ship that tries to posture you in Taris space!

Chaos at Kuat so might as well organize to take those Star Destroyers in dock.

Expand your manpower pool by allowing aliens in the ranks.

Fan favorite Gilad Pellaeon can join!

Use the Holonet to defeat the New Republic through ideas.

Helps the Hutts abolish slavery! Yup, abolitionist Hutts are coded.

Become Emperor!

Team up with the Jedi Order to defeat Palpatine's Dark Empire!?

Commentary: This was a doozy to work with but I think I got it right. It is a sandbox, but there are triggers that should occur, but OOC is recommended to add in additional info so if you want Kyle Katarn fighting Jerec as that blind fool goes to find the Valley of the Jedi.

Yup, the end point is Dark Empire. I thought it was stupid too, but figured it felt right. I mean, I wrote this like a GM giving a one shot to their table to just see how the players would handle this.

This was tested with Deepseek: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528.

Changelog:

06/21: Reworked code. Factions should be easier to be read now and doesn't look like an insane rambling. Enemy movements should be slower and allows for you to respond. Systems now have listed ships so you can in the independent phase build up a fleet with them. There is now an assets listings at the bottom and if it disappears, notify through OOC for it to reappear. It should avoid giving you choices through the coding, but let me know. Hope you enjoy this version. I now have to figure out how to add in the Empire of the Hand, Hapens, Corporate Sector Authority and still be under 2.5k tokens.

06/20: Zsinj is an asshole so got more adjectives.
Cleaning up code for Taris definition.
