For nineteen years, the Empire had stood indomitable. There had been instances of unrest, of course, mere blips, nothing more. Even with the open declaration of the Rebel Alliance’s intent to restore the Republic, that seemed like no more than a bunch of fringe fanatics and dreamers.

But then that rabble of miscreants destroyed the Death Star, and told the Universe of the Empire’s planet killer. If that was not bad enough, the Death Star had been home to many of the leading Imperials including but not limited to Grand Moff Tarkin and all but one of the Joint Chiefs.

As a result of this event and it’s consequences, there has been a reshuffling of the Imperial Hierarchy. You are not the cream of the crop, far from it, but you are considered to be of sufficient merit to take a small step forward.

You a minor figure of one of four branches of the Empire; Politics, Intelligence, the Army and the Navy. Of course, you will be involved in all four fields, but you will have more resources and influence in your specialism. Naturally.

Not only will you have to navigate the treacherous waters of Imperial politics but you will also have to deal with organised crime, general unrest as well as the Rebel Alliance and any other militant groups that you might come across.

Below, you will list the following:

Your starting location. (A star system, for instance)

Your starting forces (remember, you’re a minor figure)

Name: Gavin Thorne

Species: Human

Rank: Colonel, Imperial Army

Homeworld: Anaxes

Biography:

Gavin Thorne was born on Anaxes to Anaxes nobility. His family had a long line of military service. Both his mother and father had been a part of the Republic Judicial forces, his mother serving as a ship’s Captain and his father a member of the Anaxes defense fleet. With the start of the Clone Wars, Thornes mother was made a Rear Admiral, serving as a logistics officer in the open circle fleet. Thornes father was made an instructor at the Anaxes war college and was responsible for training thousands of volunteers. Gavin was eager to follow in his family's steps. He initially wanted to join the Republic Navy but following his fathers advice, he put in his application to the Grand Army of the Republic. Gavin’s application was accepted and he soon received orders to report to the Army Academy on Carida. Gavin was disappointed at this development as he had hoped to remain on Anaxes where he could study under his father and uncles. But Gavin accepted the assignment and dutifully reported to the academy on Carida. For the next 4 years, Gavin devoted himself to his studies. He excelled in the fields of logistics, engineering , and gunnery. During his time at the academy, he gained a great interest in armored warfare and artillery devoting much of his time to studying the employment of combined arms units on a field of battle. After 4 years of academic study, Thorne graduated in the upper percentile of his class. But his academic achievements would be overshadowed by the end of the Clone Wars. With the Galaxy now at peace, Gavin resigned himself to serving as an administrator with the peace time Army. However, with the declaration of the New Order, Gavin was granted a new purpose as he was quickly shipped off to the outer rim.

Gavin would spend his first decade in the new Imperial Army fighting on the outer rim against separatist holdouts. He would gain a reputation as a skilled tactician. As a dedicated armor officer, Gavin would personally lead his troops into battle from the commander's seat of a TX-130 repulsor tank. As an officer, Gavin was never the lead vehicle in an attack but he always made it a point to be among the vanguard of any assault. Gavin eventually worked his way up to company command and then eventually commanding an entire mechanized battalion. Upon receiving his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, Gavin was reassigned away from front line duty and sent back to the Army Academy on Carida teaching new cadets about modern mechanized warfare. It was during his time on Carida that Gavin would author several articles and books about logistics and armor tactics. He would also begin theoretical work on the employment of tanks in counter insurgency and counter terrorism operations. He would also work with Colonel Veers in the development of tactics and strategies for the new AT-AT walkers entering mass production with the Empire. Although Gavin admired the walkers for their armor and firepower, he felt their lack of flexibility made them a liability for the new mission types the Army was taking on. His point was proven during a training exercise when his OpFor nearly brought down one of Veers walkers with close-in infantry attacks to the belly. Gavin became apoplectic when Veers covered up the entire incident. Gavin continued to write articles about the weaknesses of the AT-AT but he found himself a lone voice in the dark as many Army officers began subscribing to the theories put forth by Grand Moff Tarkin. With his own theories and teachings now in opposition to Imperial doctrine, Gavin would find himself reassigned away from Carida.

Now a full Colonel, Gavin was in command of a mechanized infantry brigade garrisoning the planet Weyland. The assignment was an unwelcomed one for Gavin. Although he enjoyed once again being in command of an armored unit, garrison duty was not one Gavin relished. He was also in charge of the outpost that housed a small communications array. In all, Weyland was in an area widely regarded as a quiet sector of the galaxy. Despite being on a small outpost in a quiet sector, Gavin made sure his men remained vigilant. He created scenarios for his officers to wargame out, made sure his men were well drilled and in peak physical condition. He also did what he could to improve the base defenses. His men were hard at work digging trenches when they had learned of the disastrous Imperial defeat at Yavin 4. Weyland, being located along the Hydian hyper route, quickly became a hub of activity as Imperial warships rallied to assault the rebel base in Yavin. Gavins brigade was soon mobilized and loaded onto transport ships. His brigade would be among the first to touch ground as the empire assaulted the rebel fortress.

Biography:

When historians are asked about notable figures of the Clone Wars, the usual ones are listed, Skywalker, Kenobi, Dooku, Palpatine, Amidala. However, if you ask an Imperial fighter pilot, one name comes to the top, LeRoy, the Night Stalker. A pre-war Republic Judicial corps fighter pilot, he made a name, starting in the battle of Christophsis, flying with a clone wingman in escort of medical transports attempting to run the Separatist blockade. Of the four attempts made, only one failed, due to Admiral Trench’s intercepting the transport with his Providence class Dreadnought. The, at the time, Flight Lieutenant LeRoy amassed a respectable twenty one kills average in a sortie, with a lucky Proton torpedo shot crippling a Munificent Frigate on the third run. But it would be the night time CAS missions on the planet surface, which would earn him the title ‘Night Stalker’ from the Separatist organic officers.

But it would be the assignment of his squadron, the 907th Fighter Escort Squadron (the Flying Hogs) to the assault force destined for Ryloth that would bring him to the attention of the GAR FLTCOM, for the subsequent loss of most the Hogs’ and the crippling of a Republic Venator, due, in part, to the actions of one Commander Tano. FLT LeRoy, along with his wingman, Braken Antilles, survived the battle, albeit with injuries that would sideline the ace for the next few months.

With his return to flight status and a promotion to Wing Commander, WC LeRoy would be given command of the 42nd Tactical Bomber Group, which would be shipped from one battle zone to another, from Rugosa to the first battle of Felucia, culminating with the groups BTL-B Y Wings providing the critical CAS runs that proved to be the deciding factor in the opening hours of the Second battle of Geonosis. The effect of the runs, the lack of casualties, and efficiency in the rearm/refuel of the bombers proved to quiet the new Wing Commanders detractors. The success of the bombing campaign, a long side the ground campaign led to the reassignment of the Wing Commander to the newly reformed 907th ‘Flying Hogs’, and a deployment to Kamino, where the Squadron would see combat against the Separatist forces, where the WC was shot down, suffering wounds that would preclude him from reentering a cockpit again. While he was recovering, WC LeRoy was approached by the newly promoted Rear Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin, to take command of one of the new Venators fresh from Kuat Drives. Needless to say, LeRoy accepted the command and promotion to Captain, where he served as Tarkin’s go to ship for the remainder of the war. He would spend the rest of the war as the commander of the Providence, and participated in the Battle of Coruscant.

After the Clones Wars, Captain LeRoy would serve for another five years, receive a promotion to Rear Admiral, marry and retire to Corellia. He would spend the next thirteen years split between his children and wife and teaching at the local Imperial flight school.

In the year 0 BBY, the retired Admiral LeRoy would have to take slight detour from his families planned excursion to his home world of Alderaan to meet with an old acquaintance at the Imperial Academy on Corellia. His wife and children went on ahead, to spend time with the children’s Grandparents. This family vacation was meet with tragedy, the destruction of Alderaan. The retired Admiral used what remained of his connections to reactivate his commission in the Imperial Navy. Because of the length of time spent out of service, Admiral LeRoy was reactivated as a Commodore, and was given a repaired ISD 1, a small escorting fleet and small contingent of Stormtroopers. This is a man with a mission, the forces to carry it out, and the blessing of the Empire to hunt the Rebellion.

Major Ishmael Reynauld

Imperial Security Bureau, Naboo Field Office

Ishmael Reynauld was born on 34 BBY to a middle class family on Naboo, during the early days of the Trade Federation occupation. His father Aldrich was a fighter pilot for the Royal Naboo Security Forces, and his mother Casca was a speeder mechanic. As the elder of the two children in a turbulent time, Ishmael's childhood was dominated by the Clone Wars, culminating in the Declaration of A New Order that transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire.

In order to secure scholarships and further economic opportunity for his younger brother, Ishmael decided to sign up for the Imperial Navy, with the intention of following his father's footsteps of a fighter pilot. His strong academic performance in his youth meant that he was able to enroll in the Royal Imperial Academy on Coruscant, but his dream was cut short during a routine crew transfer, when the shuttle he was riding on suffered a controlled flight into terrain. While he survived the incident and was able to complete his final semester from a hospital bed, unhealed wounds would forever bar him from flight line duty.

Instead of seeing a gifted cadet with great resilience go to waste in a nondescript clerical position however, the ISB stepped in and recruited Ishmael into their ranks. He quickly climbed to the rank of station chief on account of his diligence and often quick thinking, although his distaste for collateral damage meant that he is often seen as insufficiently aggressive and was not promoted further. After a few years of bouncing between systems while learning the ropes, he was transferred back to his birth world of Naboo, a dead-end station with low importance and rebel activity where his methods matter little.

Lady Valles Santhe

Species: Human
Homeworld: Lianna
Born: 34 BBY Lianna City

Biography:
Lady Valles was born in 34 BBY to the powerful Santhe Family during a somewhat dark period for the family and corporations they headed. Her father Kerred II Santhe served as CEO of Sienar/Santhe Technologies and over the years of his leadership had sunk company profits into his own life of excess, amassing massive gambling debts to organisations like the Black Sun which put the family in danger time and time again. Eventually Kerred would succeed in paying his debts and saving the company however his habits had become known and he was sacked and replaced by the board who put Narro Sienar as the new CEO of Siener/Santhe. Her fathers errors aside Valles had a relatively uneventful childhood filled with luxury as although her father lost his full position the family was still immensely rich and received profits from their Santhe specific subsidiaries on Lianna itself. When she was 12 the Clone Wars began and the future began to look relatively uncertain as although the planet itself had previously produced ships and vessels for the Republic it now lay surrounded by Confederate Space. The following years would be a truly formative period for the young Lady a mere year later the fierce battle of Lianna ensued in which much of the urban surface of the planet was destroyed, leaving many cities and business in outright ruin. From this lowpoint the Santhe family rose to the occasion and used their immense wealth to help rebuild and rehabilitate the planet and its economy, with Valles herself becoming the face of the family more as her aging father began to retire from public life. During this period of reconstruction as the war continued to wage across the Galaxy Kerred II made sure that the young Lady was ingrained with the idea of eventual Liann independence and self sufficiency, lest another battle of two outsiders decimate their beloved home once more.

By the time Chancellor Palpatine made the Decree of a New Order Valles now nearing adulthood had become the official Head of the Santhe family, her father having fully retired to overseeing matters without anymore public appearances. Though she was still young she made many public appearances and became well known across the planet and its various companies, preparing to eventually take on the overall management of the family businesses. At the age of 22 in 12BBY her father passed and she fully took on the role as Head of the Santhe Family, also becoming CEO of Santhe Industries and Santhe Security. Though the Empire had fully established its presence on the planet and now even operated an Imperial Naval Academy she still held her beliefs for a strong and Independent Lianna in secret, working to ensure this outcome as best she could. Lianna had continued to grow and prosper, much of the populous was employed by her companies and factories, and the situation seemed quite stable, permitting her rise through the Liann political sector to eventually becoming its Governor.

However it seemed peace was never to last as soon later in the year 4BBY onward resistance groups began to rise up across the Galaxy until a full civil war was brewing, although the Liann populace and Valles herself didn't think much of it, continuing to outwardly support the Empire. Over the coming years she watched the insurgency continue to harass the Empire and during this time she had become President of Sienar/Santhe Technologies, rising back up the ladder her late father had once stood atop of with the goal to retake the position in any way possible. These plans however would be put on hold temporarily as news rapidly reached the planet of the destruction of Alderaan and then a mere few months later the destruction of the Death Star, which Valles knew would only cause the escalation of the war to unknown proportions. Following the aftermath as reports of hundreds upon thousands of Systems pledging allegiance to the Rebellion Lady Valles Santhe continues to lead Lianna with official support remaining to the Empire, though in private never ceasing talking about how much she loathes it. With the situation of the Empire and its rule becoming uncertain the Lady has begun to make bolder actions poising herself to fully usurp control of Santhe/Sienar from Raith Sienar in due time, alongside other personal goals revolving around Lianna itself.

Starting Location: Lianna

Starting Forces:

Imperial Forces on Lianna:
On Lianna itself Lady Valles has been given general authority over a small naval garrison for checking inbound goods and helping patrol the planet itself separate to the larger Allied Tion Sector forces, which although small are still formidable due to the logistical capabilities of the planet itself. In addition to this small naval force there is the Imperial Army Garrison that is stationed around the Melford Imperial Naval Academy, which again Lady Valles has nominal authority over as governor though movement and deployment of these troops must be reported back to higher sector commands.

Lianna Imperial Naval Garrison:
1 Arquitens class Command Cruiser
2 Marauder class Assault Corvettes
2 squadrons of TIE/LN Starfighters (24 total)
1 squadron of Lambda class T-4a Shuttles (12 total)

1 flight of Sentinel class landing craft (6 total)
10 AT-AT Combat Walkers
10 AT-ST Scout Walkers
80 74-Z Speederbikes

Local Liann Forces:
In addition to the proper Imperial Garrisons on Lianna Valles has overall authority as governor over all the Law Enforcement and Security Corps on the planet, which being local forces are not bound to wider Imperial observation for the most part. Alongside the various law agencies HM also has access to Santhe Security Forces which are under her full and direct authority, in all but name serving as a small royal guard/paramilitary force that protects both the Santhe Family and various important government positions. Unlike the aforementioned Policing/Security forces of Lianna Santhe Security itself is bound to no Imperial Oversight/Planetary governance and operates solely under the Santhe Family itself.

Lianna Security Forces/Law Enforcement:
~5,400,000 officers/personnel under various departments and organisation

Santhe Security Forces:
1728 Security Troopers/personnel spread across major cities and Santhe residencies/buildings
1 squadron of Sentinel class landing craft (12 total)

Other Assets:
Immense Familial Wealth
Santhe Security Corporation
Santhe Industries (including numerous factories especially one of the largest TIE line factories in Imperial Space)
Santhe/Sienar Technologies (including its various subsidies via being President of the Company)
Other miscellaneous private and governmental assets expected of nobility and a governor

The AT-AT was in service within 5 Years of the Declaration of the New Order, so 10 years in they would no longer count as “new”. Nor in the 9 years between then and Yavin. However he can still grumble about things, with the consequence of being carted off to a dead end world with little hope of promotion.

Others are noted as having gotten to Yavin IV first, though Colonel Thorne can of course have taken part, even if it would not be a long stay, with the Rebels having successfully evacuated before the task force arrived.

You have the K79-S80s listed twice.

Otherwise that seems fine.

Delta

Commodore LeRoy can have a regular Imperial I Star Destroyer, with no TIE Advances, apart from a TIE Advanced v1 for his personal mount.
The carrier can be a Quasar Fire class.
Lancers have not appeared in Imperial possession yet, so please choose a suitable alternative.
No Acclamator. You can carry what you can on your other ships.

Otherwise that seems fine.

Canadian

No Imperial Star Destroyer for you.
You appear to be a member of the Imperial Army, not the Navy based on your resources.

Otherwise that seems fine.

Zhehao

That’s fine, though you probably have some field forces that can be called upon, such as an IGV-55 surveillance vessel and such like.

Belgy

The Tartan class and IPV-1 patrol vessels aren’t canon, so please select suitable replacements.
You probably need some shuttles or landing ships for the academy, as well as a TIE Bomber flight at least. Their crews need training too.

Captain Ragus Adlmel
Born: 40 BBY
Species: Human
Homeworld: Chandrilla

Service:
Volunteered in Republic Navy Fighter Corps 22 BBY
GAR Fighter Service: 370th "Light Strikers"
GAR Fighter Service: 99th "Droid's Bane"
GAR Naval Command: Dreadnaught-class cruiser Hammer of Dusk
Imperial Naval Command: Dreadnaught-class cruiser Hammer of Dusk
Imperial Naval Command: Venator-class Star Destroyer Midnight's Amber

Biography:
Born to a comparatively regressive lower family on Chandrilla, losing influence in local politics due to a non-pacifistic stance in the planetary senate. Ragus embraced these ideals so when the Clone Wars kicked off in 22 BBY he volunteered for the fledgling Republic Navy as a pilot. After basic training, he was assigned to the bomber wing on an Acclamator class carrier, the Iron Shield and served in minor skirmishes across the Mid Rim before taking part in a series of major battles before the Iron Shield was destroyed with the 370th deployed on a bombing run during the Battle of Kamino and most of the squadron destroyed.

Following this, he was reassigned to the Dreadnaught class cruiser Hammer of Dusk and spent 21-19 BBY fighting in the Outer Rim Sieges and becoming flight lead of the new 99th squadron until tragedy struck during a minor skirmish in deep space. The bridge of the Hammer of Dusk took a direct hit from a damaged Hyena bomber after the shields were dropped, killing the entirety of the command staff and leaving Ragus as the highest ranking officer of the lone crippled ship. Thus began a two week effort to repair the ship and hyperspace back to a friendly system, only for the war to have been declared over by the new Galactic Emperor by the time they reached a friendly system due to damage to the hyperdrive system.

With the end of the war, Ragus remained in the Navy and was given command of the Hammer of Dusk as the navy began to reshuffle naval commanders into spots the now disgraced jedi filled, leaving the opening available for him to take. The next years were spent cleaning up the last Separatist holdouts left over from the war, with a transfer to a Venator class star destroyer, the Midnight's Amber being awarded so he could better utilize a more flexible mission loadout as well as take advantage of his previous experience as a fighter commander. However with the destruction of the Death Star and the mobilization of the Imperial Navy against the Rebellion, Captain Ragus prepares to ship out from a garrison post at Cato Nemodia to begin his hunt.

Kastolar Sector Vice Minister for Transport

Ferix Gault

Name: Ferix Lucas Gault, of the Coruscanti Gault family.

Age: 32

Planet of Origin: Coruscant/Imperial Center

Biography:

Ferix Gault was not a humble man. He would be the first to enlighten you of his aristocratic, well-bred family line which has played various roles in the politics of the Republic stretching bback at least 400 years. Of no small mention would be Janise Gault, a two-time advisor to Supreme Chancellor Valorum in his senate days. Gault did not live a poor life. Although far from being among the richest of then-Coruscant, he benefitted from vast wealth, a great education, and a large family full of almost fantastic connections. From the army to COMPNOR, the only element of the Imperial government the Gaults had no say in would only be the Imperial intelligence services. After a decent showing in both secondary and tertiary schools, Ferix joined the Imperial government, but shying away from his father and mother's expertise in working as governing authorities; governors, system administrators, moffs, and the like, Ferix instead opted to the government services branch of the Empire. Believing the times had changed since the fall of the Republic, where system authority meant far more than the overarching, but weak, Republic government service ministries, Ferix opted to enter the Ministry of Transportation, given his affection for interstellar commerce and his affinity for complex administration, and it being somewhere he could use his Imperial Navy admiral uncle's good graces to help advance.

His rise, however, has been far from meteoric. Despite his connections, and his adequate skills, Ferrix was navigating the complex chain of Imperial authority, and though the new Empire valued young, aristocratic blood in favor of the meritocratically-vetted Republican old guard, he still had to climb the complex labyrinth of Imperial bureaucracy. After two short tours in Imperial Center Transport Authority, he quickly acquired a contract for the Imperial civil service in the transport ministry. From there he was sent from system to system, acting in various administrative roles, climbing from district overseer to planetary superintendent. While frustrated by the grueling workloads and provincial accommodations at times, Gault found a certain glee in the challenge and the promise for quicker promotion the farther from Imperial Center he was stationed. He was also able to relieve stress through frequent visitations to high-end brothels and casinos. These were potentially career restraining hobbies, but ones that remained quite common in the Mid-Rim and beyond. Gault also found an interest in collecting and displaying artifacts he could purchase through semi-reputable sources.

Regardless of his personal drawbacks, his career continued in an upward progression as he toiled away and remained ambivalent to his proximity to the Core regions, until reaching the post of Vice Minister for Transportation of the Kastolar sector. Because of the extreme attention to deference in Imperial titles, he was actually in charge of the ministry of transportation for the Kastolar sector despite the 'vice' in front of his title. While clearly not nearly as prestigious or singularly powerful as even a planetary governor, there were advantages to his posting. Now, though, he was at a fork in the road of his career. While his ambition saw him soaring to levels higher and higher, his posting had given him an expectation to meet before his tour was complete. Being posted at the edge of Hutt space, Gault was now so far from the Core, that his name was beginning to lose relevance, except with the expeditionary naval forces posted there with him. While there was potential for real improvement in a sector where piracy and rebel activity were the norm, and therefore promotion, lack of progress or failure could mean an immediate end to his rise and the beginning of a long, permanent career stagnation. He had to do more than produce good work, Gault needed to make a difference, something he was quite unused to doing while working in the Imperial bureaucracy. If he wanted to see the remainder of his star-studded future: multi-sector authority, rim-wide ministry positions, a return to Imperial Center in the galaxy-wide Imperial Ministry of Transport, and then finally, in his silver years, perhaps even an advisorship to the Emperor himself, he needed to make a name for himself. Or else he would be consigned to mid-rim prostitutes and rigged Sabacc games the rest of his life.

Starting Location: Ubrikkia, Kastolar Sector

Starting Forces:

Sector Forces

Nominally of use to Minister Gault, but his requests must be evaluated by senior officials and military personnel first, and rarely are his full requests given, if ever. Additionally, ground force allotments are very limited, while fleet force allotments come from active ready forces in the sector, though more generous due to the nature of Gault's senior position in the transport ministry, are limited by patrols, training, certifications, maintenance, and system defense requirements. While many of these can be rerouted from their original missions, it takes time and authority.

Fleet Forces:

1x Arquitens-class command cruiser

3x Gladiator-class patrol star destroyers

16x Carrack-class light cruisers

4x Gozanti-class assault carriers

12x Nebulon-B class frigates

22x CR90-class corvettes

15x Lambda-class shuttles

22x Squadrons of TIE/in fighters

8x Squadrons of TIE/sa bombers

2x Squadrons of TIE/IN interceptors

1x Class four container transport

6x Eta-class supply barges

Ground Forces:

1x Brigrade of Stormtroopers (Ubrikkia)

1x Division of Imperial Army troopers (Spread across all Kastolar sector systems)

8x Battalions of Imperial Armor (Between Drunckenwell and Ubrikkia)

Each Battalion's Major Equipment

4x AT-ATs

10x AT-STs

26x TX-225 Occupier tanks

1-2x Corps of local garrison and militia forces

~220x Ubrikkian Tanks (Spread across all Kastolar sectors systems)

6x Theta class barges

32x Lambda-class shuttles

12x Sentinel-class shuttles

Kastolar Sector Ministry of Transport Forces

The ministry has some fleet forces for general and emergency use, and ground forces for their protection. Being the head of the ministry, Gault has direct control over these units, but his use can be reviewed by ISB or senior government officials, and should not be used unwisely. These do not include the immense size of the private shipping industry of the sector nor the inter-sector and government shipping which travel the sector, that dominates the time and energies of the ministry. While many of these can be commandeered, this is highly irregular and for extreme emergencies only.

Fleet Forces:

3x Class four container transports

6x Imperial Heavy Freighters

12x Theta-class barges

Ground Forces:

1x Company of Stormtroopers

1x Platoon of Naval troopers

Assets:

200,000 Credit Discretionary Budget

Sector Authority

80 Employees

Military Requisition Authority (Upon approval)

Imperial Asset Requisition Authority (Upon Approval)

Sector-wide broadcast satellite system for commercial and private starship monitoring (Cannot track Imperial military, intelligence, or government vessels unless seriously altered)

Personal Forces

Gault's personal assets, at use at any time for whatever he pleases.

Assets:

Private investigator on retainer

Three family lawyers on retainer

Moderately-sized inherited wealth

An interesting, but ultimately not very valuable collection of mid-rim and outer-rim artifacts

Family connections

A government-leased mansion in the upscale government district on Ubrikkia

A personal cottage on Drunckenwell

Windhover & Canadian are fine.

Delta
You have far too many TIE/in’s in general, and your Quasar Fire is also overstocked in general. You can have 1 Squadron of TIE/in, with 6 of TIE/ln and 3 TIE/sa.

Belgy

You still need to replace the Marauders.

Seb

You can have Imperial I class Star Destroyers and TIE line starfighters and you will like it. What is this, 14 BBY? Swap the landing craft & walkers too.

Kerkov

You need to trim the light cruiser, frigate and corvette numbers, and the starfighter numbers accordingly; it may be easier to organise the latter as a mixture of squadrons and flights given your larger number of smaller ships. Probably need to drop the number of Gladiators to 2 at most too, depending on the smaller big ship numbers.
