Fantasy Flight Games: The Empire’s Interests

Fantasy Flight Games preview the new Imperial Light Cruiser Expansion Pack for Star Wars: Armada.

From the website:

“In the absence of Governor Pryce, you have had a single, simple objective, Minister; to protect the Empire’s industrial interests here, interests that are vital to our expansion throughout the Outer Rim.”
–Grand Moff Tarkin

The Galactic Empire governs countless star systems, worlds, and citizens, so its ranking officials cannot be bothered to tend to the minutiae of its every interest. Instead, they rely upon a bureaucracy built of necessity, one in which responsibilities are delegated from the likes of Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, and Grand Moff Tarkin down to lower Moffs, regional Governors, and local Ministers.

Accordingly, when a ranking official like Grand Moff Tarkin finds himself forced to deal with the failures of his subordinates, the response is almost always swift, authoritative, and decisive. Responsibilities may be reallocated. Resources will be assigned as needed. Heads may roll. And if the matter is military, troops and vessels will be deployed as necessary.
