デススターの運用コストの高さは異常

  ⚪︎第一、第二デススター 帝国絶世期、デススターは大規模な国家プロジェクトでした。 莫大な資源と労力を投入して皇帝の夢を実現します。 惑星破壊の概念は、恐怖で鎮圧して統治するドクトリンと合致しており、中央集権の独裁体制には好都合でした。 建造に莫大なコストが負担になりますが、完成後も莫大なコストが負担になります。運用コストです。 惑星破壊に要するコスト以外に、搭乗する人員の食料や廃棄物の処理など、どうしても欠かせない。他に設備のメンテナンスから管理に至るまで大変です。地上から完全独立している訳ではなかったのです。 デススターはハイパードライブを装備していましたが、あれだけの巨体を移動させるだけで、莫大な運用コストが必要。 設計上は完璧に機能している筈なのに、実際に使うと問題が露呈します。 ⚪︎スターキラー デススターを教訓に、ファーストオーダーは低コストの惑星破壊兵器を立案します。皇帝亡き後、スノークは効率的な兵器を望んでいた。 使い捨てでもいいんです。ファーストオーダーは画期的なアイデアを採用します。惑星そのもの(イラム)を兵器に転用する。 おそらくサイズミックチャージとかで地上を掘削、惑星のコアを動力源に利用する。一からデススターを建造するよりハードルが低い。 低コストだからレジスタンスに破壊されても、大した損失ではなりません。 最初から破壊される事を前提にしています。スターキラーは使い捨て。 惑星だから、運用コストは生じない。発想の転換。 ⚪︎ジストン級スターデストロイヤー シス・エターナルは、さらに画期的で非凡なシスの発想をします。 受け継がれたライトセーバーの技術すなわちカイバークリスタルの制御ノウハウを、そのまま惑星破壊兵器に応用したと思われる。 惑星破壊の機能の簡素化、簡略化を成功させ、惑星破壊以外も兼ねる精密な攻撃も可能です。ハードルを劇的に低下させた。人員は少なく、昔からのスターデストロイヤーの設計を踏襲できます。 原理は単純だ。カイバークリスタルが収束する太い光刀を永遠に長くして、惑星のコアを突き刺す。ライトセーバーみたいに光刀を制御、調整すれば、惑星のコアを誘爆できる。 運用コストを劇的に低下しただけでなく、使い捨てでない。 何隻も建造できてしまいます。銀河全域の急所に展開するのです。 惑星破壊の権限を独占せずに広める。 もしゲイレ...

Jar Jar made a great contribution to the Empire

⚪︎Political skills to pass strong bills


The Republic Senate was full of corruption and depravity, and even simple bills could not be deliberated smoothly.


The Republic faced a security crisis due to the rise of Separatism. Public opinion calling for the creation of a Republic army gradually grew stronger, and the Congress was divided over the creation of the army, creating a difficult political situation.


At that time, the Jedi revealed the existence of the clone army. They would like to make the clone army a regular military force of the Republic, but the Senate does not allow its use before the Separatist attack.


Even though a clear crisis is approaching, they are unable to deal with it.


Mas Amedda proposes the use of emergency powers that Yoda had proposed to Palpatine.


It is a bold authority that has never been exercised in the history of the founding of the Republic. Naturally, it was expected to be rejected.


Palpatine himself thought it was impossible. He did not want to become a dictator.

"With Congress divided in two, if such a bill passes, it will be a miracle," he says, based on years of experience.


But Representative Jar Jar Binks saw through it. It will definitely pass! He has little political experience, but he is a forward-thinking Gungan. The Jedi are watching over him warmly.


He suddenly formulates a bill and submits a motion. He is laughed at by the elites.


But unexpectedly, it passes smoothly and is quickly and easily passed!

This is unprecedented!


Emergency powers are established, and the clone army becomes the regular army of the Republic.


⚪︎Palpatine praises Jar Jar for his political skills, which allowed him to assess the existence of the clone army, the threat of separatism, and the turbulent political situation in the Senate. "That was a sudden change. I thought it would be impossible. You are a beloved student of Senator Amidala. I'm very happy as a fellow Naboo native. Thank you for the Republic."


He submitted a dangerous and strong bill that could have created many political enemies without fearing the risks, and it gained support.

Emergency powers are essential to ensure the security of the Republic.


⚪︎It was a strong vote


However, even the Jedi could not have anticipated the situation. They failed to end the war early.


A prolonged war leads to centralization and dictatorship, which later became the foundation of the Empire.


If emergency powers had not been passed, the Empire would not have been born.


Even though the Senate had been so worried about creating an army, they quickly united in the face of a security crisis.


It was passed without proper verification, fact-checking, or risk calculation. Democracy can be strong or weak.


Palpatine was relieved that he had been able to deter attacks on the Republic. Crisis situations like this occur many times during wartime. Like Jar Jar, strong bills are passed one after another. It is a constitutional amendment suitable for wartime.


Jar Jar feels guilty about his experience and returns to Naboo. It is believed that he was scolded by Padme.


⚪︎Valorum


The former Supreme Chancellor was also surprised at the quick passage of emergency powers.


Yoda and I agree that emergency powers were inappropriate. "Jar Jar was used."

Yoda apologizes for not ending the war sooner. And promises that Palpatine will not remain a dictator forever. Valorum thought that Palpatine would give up his emergency powers.


"He is a modest and humble man, and he did not become a dictator because he wanted to."
