Probably set around this time frame. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Orinda_campaign They're running out of larger ships and transitioning to smaller ships. There's a time gap there if relative peace (raiding) or they can be used as a distraction. No super weapons, Dark Jedi, Sith etc.

Context at the time frame I'm looking at there's multiple factions. The Imperial had the deep core. It had massive amounts of star destroyers, super weapons, the clone emperor, super star destroyer s etc. Luke and Co smacked that flat. The Imperials withdrew to the outer rim including...

The rough idea would be they're in a weakly held sector getting preyed on by mysterious raiders. If it's imperial they will likely be pilots on one of them in a reverse far orbit game where they pirate the New Republic. Far Orbit was a campaign adventure where they play on a mutinous...

It's Star wars though, see rebels, First Order, Palpatine etc. They've had larger secret fleets. A million people is nothing in Star Wars. It's less people involved than WW2 logistics. It only has to be vaguely plausible. It's less than a sector fleet and there's a lot of sectors. The...

Got a spare for me? I'm playing bingo next month. My cards reasonably good though. 2020 an improvement over 2018 personally but that's just me.

Star Wars has fortress world's. I'm not sure if this is a sector level threat or galactic level. 100 cruisers requires 200000 crew. Look at WW2. A single planet could build and crew that many. Hell Australia can crew them. 200 of them is more firepower than the Imperial fleet at Endor sans...

Hidden base, thinking of a somewhat normal world with a moon that can be mined. Or really inhospitable with an orbiting station. Inside or near a nebula that's really hard to navigate if you don't know the path.

They will have a home port. Nuclear aircraft carriers stay at sea for weeks. On Star Wars they can jump home fairly fast. Probably not going to be more than a week or two from home.

Silence!!!!! Pessimist outlook pandemic into depression into war into nuclear bomb detonation.

You can do that in Stellaris. Find some presentients and uplift them. If they get a good traits and you're good at bioengineering you just found valuable cirizens/slaves.

Strike Cruiser stats. Roughly vs ISD 11% less shields 50% less firepower 13% less hull 1/8th the cost Essentially a battlecruisers at lt cruiser cost. 8 of them less than half the crew of an ISD.

Game srat wise strike Cruisers are really nasty. Supplies don't really matter as they have something like 2 years worth of supplies. Space is also very big and hyperspace let's them teleport essentially.

Went digging, my tastes lean more towards D6. Lost Galaxy Guide 12.

You can often guess a craft beer is going to be meh just based on the label. One I had recently. Triple chocolate milk stout. Yes stouts can be a bit creamy but that's just a bad idea imho.

Depends what the precursors tech does. In the upper scale I look at megaengineering (dyson spheres, ringworlds) and giga engineering (building star, solar systems, black holes etc). If terrorists get hold of some facility like that and they can reuse it.
