NI 24 / ABY 34 — New Galactic Empire = good guys, New Republic = bad guys — gritty lethal standalone
240km diameter moon-sized mobile capital. Third Death Star iteration, not weaponized — public claim. Built to prove Empire could build without destroying.
NI 0-5: NGE tried to hold Coruscant for legitimacy. Reality:
Empress realized: to stay is to be poisoned. Can't share capital with swamp that profits from your failure.
| NGE Gives | NGE Gets |
|---|---|
| Coruscant — including historic Galactic Senate rotunda (Senate Chamber Palpatine spoke in) | New Republic recognizes Galactic Star as legitimate Imperial capital |
| Full HoloNet open to pre-war open usage | Guaranteed trade / travel rights, systems can self-determine (leave either side) |
| Release Republic political prisoners / "rebels" | NR must take responsibility for rebel/terror cells, return Imperial capital ships/fighters, stop terrorism |
NR wanted Senate Chamber for optics — "we speak where Palpatine fell, legitimate successor." NGE wanted out.
Diameter: 240km (moon, not planet). Class: Mobile Capital / Commerce Hub / Terraforming Platform / Fleet Anchorage.
Not weaponized — NGE public position. No superlaser, no planet-killer. NR HoloNet calls it "Third Death Star" anyway. NGE counters: "They call everything a Death Star because they can't build anything."
Shields: Advertised as planetary-grade. Protected Great White Fleet during Operation White Spear (NI 20-22) — took fire that would have killed a fleet. Exact specs classified.
Propulsion: Hyper-capable, mobile. Exact class redacted. Publishes timetables via HoloNet for transparency — variable orbit, no favored system.
Terraforming: First demonstration NI 12: New Legacy — dead rock → mountain-lake world, now 11M citizens, voluntarily joined. Public symbol that Empire can build life, not just take it.
Mobile Capital: Never shows favoritism to any member world. Senators, Moffs, courts, and Imperial Bank all orbit together. White halls, gold trim.
Commerce: Hub for Imperial Bank, Commodities/Equities/FX, Galactic Market (any legal item). Member Banks franchise, Central Bank provides capital.
Construction: Fleet yards, shuttle bays, HoloNet deployment. Details classified. Spacers say you can get anything there if you have Imperial writ — and wait in line.
Public records only. Internal systems, contractors, shield contractors, propulsion contractors, and any armament are classified. If your character wants to know more, they'll need to dock, talk, bribe, or steal — not read a wiki.
