You spend much of the week working alongside your advisors and a few of your flagship staff finding arguments in favour of you taking overall command of all fleets. During the work an advisor raised the idea of using the field promotion procedures already present in the Imperial Navy, in order to grant you the rank of Sector Admiral. There is also a very rarely used ability available to name someone, in this case you, Acting Moff. The problem is that nobody present has the right to utilize the second law, as Sector Admiral you could, by virtue of having nobody present telling you no, but getting the other Fleet Admirals to accept that is going to be an uphill battle.
On the advise of your DiploServ group you haven't been very involved in the minutiae of the work, rather you have made sure to be seen commanding and keeping your fleet together, projecting the image of an officer in charge, ready to handle the situation. Your popularity in the fleet is high, and if reports are to be trusted, many in Admiral Eckers fleet consider him to have bungled his job of keeping cohesion and have started mentioning you as a better example.
As a further consequence, Major General Typho Avik of the Imperial Army, also a veteran of the Clone Wars has openly spoken out in support of you. He has also stated that his troops, a full Line Corps of the Imperial Army, are at your disposal.
His troops were intended to garrison the internment camps planned to be raised for any rebel survivors after the battle at Endor, but are now available for your use.
Fleet Admiral Rego Delste has mostly worked on reinforcing his position as the legitimate commander of the Deepdock Fleet, more focused on his own independence and retaining his command than expanding his reach.
Fleet Admiral Daval Ecker immediately tried to play politics and get your and Admiral Delstes fleet subordinated to his. Even his own officers balked at such a naked power play, that while politically adept, was ill timed. He was rarely seen and spent a lot of time in his office, and when he appeared again it was to make a political move. He has lost a lot of trust, especially from the Stormtroopers Corps and Imperial Army.
High Colonel Terrend reports that the Stormtrooper Corps at large are inclined to believe your loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor, as well as trusting the competence you have shown in keeping order in your fleet. As such, they support you more than before.
Admiral Korray reports that work on the dossier on Admiral Ecker was completed long before it was anticipated, prompted by how his reactions to the first week was ill receieved even by his own officers. There has been no difficulty on getting information on both his habits, copies of his orders for the last few months, and reports on his relations to other officers on his ship.
Admiral Horne has good news, the planet we had tagged as possible habitable and a probable settlement site is fully explored. It has a breathable atmosphere, standard gravity, a temperate climate, primitive native flora, but no native fauna above the microscopic scale. Exploration has been started on the second planet tagged as a priority, but there was no time to include any results in this weeks report.

That was a good turn!
We'll need to capitalize on the loss of influence Ecker has suffered this turn. Maybe go after his fleet completely next?
@GuyThatRunsAGame I'm assuming we have another CO capable of actions in Major General Typho Avik (Imp Army CO). Am I correct in that?

So Ecker got a massive critical failure this turn, which practically obliterated his starting position. I prefer sandboxy emergent story generation, so I generally let the dice decide a lot, this was one such situation. That did leave me with having to explain how this extremely politically savvy character shat the bed this badly, but a look at the rest of his skills gave me the easy out of him just being the wrong sort of clever for the situation.
Correct, he's been added to the Character Sheet under subordinates.
What is in the Deepdock Fleet? I don't think that's been covered at all.

The fleet capable of servicing your larger vessels, and no, I've purposely kept both the support fleet and deepdock fleet vague until you gain control of them or integrate their commands.
The draw of the deepdock fleet is that it contains a Harbor-class Mobile Space Dock and four Novator-class Mobile Dockyards.

At the end of the first week you take the time to personally meet with Major General Avik, inviting him aboard your flagship. The general looks about your age, though clearly more weathered and scarred. He is a model of military formality until you both have entered your office and the door has closed, where he addresses you; "Fleet Admiral, It's a pleasure to see a fellow veteran making sure that politicians don't ruin everything for us military men this time around, that man would have been a senator had he been thirty years younger, the kid has more sense, but lacks the experience needed, and neither of them has seen true war." After that blunt dismissal of both of your rivals he states that he is available to you should you need an experienced ground commander. You chat a bit more, but nothing of great import comes up, and there are no more outbursts from the general either.
Some unrest has begun to simmer throughout the fleet as a result of the overall situation, but nothing serious so far, stormtroopers and COMPNOR officers are keeping an eye on things however.
After the weekly report, you have the chance to reassign your subordinates or assign new actions to ones that have completed their tasks.

I'm wondering if we should make use of Delste as a resource to help get rid of Ecker. Since Delste looks to be playing the "I'm just taking care of my responsibilities" card, would it be a good idea to bring him in to the play to remove Ecker.
I'm thinking that this turn we see about getting Delse on board with us by promising him continued command of his fleet, with a higher position in the Sector as we expand. They say bribery will get you everywhere!
EDIT: @GuyThatRunsAGame would that be a "Consolidate Power [Deepdock Fleet]" or a "Build Trust [Deepdock Fleet]" action?

You are both (at least in theory) still the same rank, Fleet Admirals, so that'd be a Consolidate Power [Deepdock Fleet], as you move to politically take over his fleet, though keeping him around as the commander. That means an opposed Difficult test, modified by Politics, Imperial Navy Reputation, Legitimacy and eventual Advisors. That also means that Consolidate Power [Support Fleet] is a lot easier, since Eckers legitimacy is tanked.
The political option to take care of your rivals is essentially the one where you have a chance and a choice to retain them as assets, with the attendant risk that comes with having your political rivals as your direct subordinates of course.
Build Trust is more meant to increase reputation with the factions under the Reputation tab, and Build Trust [Imperial Navy] would be the correct one there, with the added bonus of working towards Eckers fleet as well, and giving you better footing for the long game as well. Legitimacy will not be a mechanic once you've managed to actually grab power over all Imperial forces present, being meant as a preparation option in the build up to that point, but reputation will remain for the duration of the quest.

Feel free to critique. I'm unsure myself if we want to go for the Consolidate Power (Support Fleet) action yet. May be easier in the long run if we use that action to further Build Legitimacy.

Remember that both your rivals will be attempting to build legitimacy as well.
As it stands now it would be an Opposed Difficult Test (Chance of Success 10 average, but can range from 0 to 20) with a total bonus of:
+10 (Politics & Influence) +5 (DiploServ Advisors) +15 (Legitimacy) +10 (Imperial Navy Relations) = +40 Total
The modifier you know of for Ecker at this point is the -15 from low Legitimacy, but from what's been said you can assume he has a good bonus to Politics & Influence at least.
If both succeed at the test, Degrees of Success are compared, if both fail Degrees of Failure determine how bad this bickering reflects on the parties involved. If the one attempting a takeover succeeds and the one defending fails, the outcome is rather self explanatory, the defender loses their fleet. Vice versa, if the defender succeeds, but the one attempting a takeover don't, the one attempting will lose legitimacy, and the one defending will gain legitimacy.
Just to give a mechanics view of things if that influences your plan either for urgency or further preparation, and I also saw a chance to write out an actual example of how the mechanics work together.
I'm seeing this action from an RP stand point:
"Admiral Ecker, your aspirations unworthy of your rank, your position in the Imperial Navy, and as a Citizen in this great Empire. You have flagrantly grabbed for power without an inkling of the responsibility required. Under the advice of COMPNOR and the recommendations of even your own officers, I hereby remove you from command and place you under arrest for Acts Against the Empire."
Now, I would do this in person, with enough people loyal to me to make sure that he doesn't get up to any good. Preferably, I'd take this action while he's on my ship or even on Delste's ship during a meeting. I'd make sure to compliment Delste on his excellent work in this time of crisis as well.
"Admiral Ecker, your aspirations unworthy of your rank, your position in the Imperial Navy, and as a Citizen in this great Empire. You have flagrantly grabbed for power without an inkling of the responsibility required. Under the advice of COMPNOR and the recommendations of even your own officers, I hereby remove you from command and place you under arrest for Acts Against the Empire."
Now, I would do this in person, with enough people loyal to me to make sure that he doesn't get up to any good. Preferably, I'd take this action while he's on my ship or even on Delste's ship during a meeting. I'd make sure to compliment Delste on his excellent work in this time of crisis as well.

I'm seeing this action from an RP stand point:

Essentially the flavour of the situation yes. And if his competence is deemed to useful to be wasted on an execution there is always ISB Re-Education.

I'll be away this evening, but I'll call the vote when I get home
I'll try to have the update up after that, but if I feel like it doesn't end up as I want it, I might post it tomorrow instead.

The week starts in chaos, as the increased communications caused by Admiral Horne's attempts at building a rapport with the navy at large prompts Fleet Admiral Ecker to panic. He had attempted to take a shuttle along with a few of his personally loyal officers and crew, but was stopped by his own hangar crew, and handed over to his flagships stormtrooper complement, along with about two dozen others, suspected of treason. You had already completed extensive preparations to get rid of him, but his rashness did much of the heavy lifting for you. You found yourself en route to his flagship, the Tector-class Star Destroyer Savager, contemplating how you would hande the specifics of the situation.
[] - Execute Ecker: He is a traitor to the Empire, and the only proper way to handle traitors is a swift death, and be done with the entire situation.
[] - Enslave Ecker: He is a traitor, and deserve to die, but there is no reason to kill him through violence, when deprivation and starvation will do the job for you as he is put to toil in service to those he would betray.
[] - Imprison Ecker for future Re-Education: While treason normally results in death, his actions are clearly the result of a nervous breakdown, triggered by the extreme situation we find ourselves in. While he will never command again, he can be turned over to the ISB and in the future become a loyal and productive citizen again.
[] - Imprison Ecker Indefinately: Not Available
[] - Pardon and retain Ecker as a Subordinate: Not Available
And his accomplices (a total of 26 other officers and crewmen) will face
[] - Execution: Aiding a traitor is treason. Death is the only answer.
[] - Enslavement: Although treason must be punished with death, there is nothing that says the corpse must be immediately produced.
[] - Imprisonment awaiting Re-Education: Aiding a traitor is treason, but Ecker was for a long time an officer of the Empire, and you have a hard time faulting someone for loyalty and trust in their superiors. Showing leniency to those officers, by handing them to the ISB for re-education, and a future return to service in a demoted post is a better path to sheperd your resources.
With the fate of your rival and his cohorts determined, the future of his fleet is next on the list of things you should probably have a plan for when your shuttle arrives.
[] - Promote and assign a new Fleet Admiral
--[] Systems Admiral Cric Horne (Superiority Fleet, Force Superiority 1)
--[] Systems Admiral Varlo Korray (Superiority Fleet, Force Superiority 2)
--[] Systems Admiral Jan Kothari (Superiority Fleet, Force Escort 1)
--[] Systems Admiral Salth Hir (Superiority Fleet, Force Escort 2)

The simplest option, and unquestionably legally the most sound option to retain legitimacy. While this will elevate someone to supposedly equal rank to you or Delste, they will lack the backing to gain the sort of legitimacy you both have towards gaining overall command of all three fleets. In reality they will be your subordinate. (gain Subordinate Fleet Admiral)
[] - Disband and integrate into your own command
While the vast majority of the support fleet are bulk transports, you could integrate it under your own command, essentially growing your superiority fleet to an immense behemoth with integrated supply. This is not necessarily a legally clear cut option, but it is available, and you could handle the backlash without unduly compromising your position. (-2 Legitimacy, Gain 2 Subordinate Systems Admirals)
[] - Disband and distribute evenly between your own and Delste's commands
Distributing the supply fleet between yourself and Delste would be equally questionable as integrating it yourself, but since you will be seen trusting your legal peer it won't be as damaging to your reputation. (-1 Legitimacy, Gain 1 Subordinate Systems Admiral)
[] - Disband and mothball.
Clearly the inferior option, but it bypasses all the hassle involved in every other option, while retaining the fleet for future use should it be required.
(Lose access to the fleet unless it is reactivated, crew must be reallocated or provided basing)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the chaos surrounding the arrest of Ecker, there is little time for Admiral Horne to build ties and create trust among the greater navy community. As such he reports no appreciable gains, but on the other hand, nothing has really gone wrong either.
Conversely Admiral Korray reports that efforts to build a dossier on Fleet Admiral Delste is ongoing, and proceeding apace. The windfall of information we experienced last week when the intelligence work targeted Ecker was nothing we could hope for in this case. But the work continues and progress is being made.
The work on deploying a garrison is very quickly completed, with Major General Avik taking a personal hand in the work, landing with the first survey crew. At the end of the week he reports via holocall that the garrison is deployed, and that the location was selected for future replacement with a permanent base. It is on a outcrop from a mounting, overlooking a good location for a spaceport on one side of the cliffs, and a good location for a moff palace on the other side. We now have a foothold on a planet in this system, an important step forward for future stability, but it also raises the question, what will we name this system, and the planets in it.

High Colonel Terrend regretfully reports that there has been little success with scouting the system, as the logistical situation was complicated the entire week from the complications with the support fleet. Although Ecker's fleet had apparently scouted both asteroid belts already, and the information from those surveys have been added to your own database.
They show that both asteroid belts have extensive mineral resources, and several larger asteroids have deposits of elements that can easily be refined into fuel. The inner asteroid belt also hosts a sizable carbonite ore deposit, a promising find for the future of your endeavours.
Fleet Admiral Delste has been busy administrating his fleet, and has made no further moves to entrench his position or build a political foundation. Your intelligence people tell you this is probably due to being extremely busy with a large scale logistics issue in his fleet that weren't discovered before now.
Coordinating the arrest and presenting you the evidence on Ecker as you arrive is an ISB Investigations Agent, who also privately confides to you later that he believes it would be for the best if there is a unified command, and unified vision guiding the fleet in the Emperors name. His name is Ronar Senk, and he is available for tasking should you need him.

And I've rolled consistently absolutely terrible for Ecker, this time he didn't crit fail, but that didn't save him, as a difference of 7 degrees is really just not something you recover from in an opposed roll.
Apart from that. I've added information on the other two Systems Admirals under your direct command, I'll be honest, the fact that you should have probably had them all along totally slipped my mind.
Also, would people prefer to have a more set schedule for updates? If so, there'll probably just be one update per week, but on a set day.

So...lots of choices here.
-in regards to Ecker and his accomplices. I'm not a fan of starting a slave faction at the moment. Lots of problems down that road. If we execute Ecker and his crew, we lose a lot of experience in our fleet. I think we need to take the time to see if any of them are salvageable. So confining to the mercies of the ISB w/instructions not to break them yet. Then a later action to interview them separately once ISB gets their testimonies.
-for the Support Fleet: We need to promote someone to Admiral in charge of it. I don't want to pull anyone from our Superiority Fleet as we should keep the core we know is loyal. Secondly, promoting someone from within Support Fleet shows all the personnel in the Support Fleet that Command does not see them all as tainted simply b/c of the actions of some rogue leadership that was actually choosing to abandon their people. Systems Admiral Jerral Kore looks like the best fit. He'd be running the logistics fleet with the highest combination of Admin/Logistics and Leadership/Command.
I don't have any ideas on naming conventions for the system yet. Anyone else have any bright ideas?
