Your attempt to gain the rank of Acting Moff has succeeded beyond anyones expectations, the document was already drafted when you contacted COMPNOR to get them on board with your plan. So after reading through the pad you quickly signed and was now legally the highest civil authority as well. Though you expected at least some level of scepticism over this the opposite turned out to be true. Due to you being seen as a man of action and integrity, who will not falter in the face of adversity, you instead get congratulations and private words of support from all the organizations and commanders present. Your actions up until now has convinced everyone that you have the Empires best interests at heart, and that you will direct efforts accordingly.
As you start signing orders to deploy the refineries and factories as well as begin thawing the colonists you are sturck by the realization that you have before you a chance to truly create an Imperial system. As there is no economy or industry already present, there won't be any need for Imperialization, but as the local ruler you could also suspend the laws that make allowances for private ventures. Conversely you could also shield any private enterprises from COMPNOR, as you would have final say in any Imperialization anyways.
(HHCO Critical Success, +1 HHCO)
[X] - Full Imperialization: Everything within the Empire, nothing outside the Empire, nothing against the Empire. A realization of the Emperors vision, where no greedy merchants pilfer Imperial resources and assets to do what is already their duty towards the Empire.
(Full command economy, no random internal economic events positive or negative, no private invention, entire workforce available for Imperial projects and recruitment)
+1 COMPNOR Relations
[-] - Sanctioned Businesses: The way things work in the Empire proper, where a business may be sanctioned by the Empire, and as long as it doesn't act against the Empire or fails its quotas it will be allowed to continue and enrich its owners. Failures will be absorbed into their rivals or put under Imperial control.
(Random internal economic events positive or negative, parts of the workforce will be unavailable for Imperial projects and recruitment)
[-] - Business Freedom: A step back from the Imperial economic policy, and a return to something more akin to the republic.
(Double random internal economic events positive or negative, higher impact of economic events, a larger part of the workforce will be unavailable for Imperial projects and recruitment)
-2 COMPNOR Relations
Of course, just as you think that you are struck by the memory of how Republic corporations and banks bought and sold influence and how they eventually came to run large parts of the senate. This wasn't a choice, that choice had been proven incorrect by corrupt merchants over twenty years ago, no argument will shake you from this position. The failures of the Republic gave way to a stronger polity, the Empire, and it is therefore natural to implement as Imperial a policy as possible. The only reason Imperialization hasn't been further reaching in the Empire is how entrenched certain corporations are. Besides, as you have no equipment or mandate to create credits, making the point moot.
As you are working with your advisors trying to plan out future expansion of the colony, you are interrupted by a priority message. Once you are by the holoterminal you are greeted by the panicked face of the leader of your IDMR team; "Moff Styndath, there's been an incident at the dig site, Admiral Coth was visiting in person, and touched an artifact, a small carved stone obelisk." he swallows before continuing "He tried opening it, seeing that it possible opened at the top, some white light was visible for a moment, and he immediately fell unconscious, and the artifact closed. He's been transported to his flagship." you respond that you'll contact the admirals vessel and thank the scientist for his rapid report.
After speaking to the CMO of Admiral Coths flagship you are left with bad news, there is no brain activity whatsoever. His body is alive, but there's little point in keeping it so.
[] - Order his life support shut off. It's morbid to keep a brain-dead body around like an empty shell and he deserves better.
[] - Keep his body alive for now. We don't know what we're dealing with here.
After that catastrophe little else of note happens except the progress reports on the tasks you had set you subordinates on.
Admiral Korray has reported success in building trust in you among the Imperial Special Forces commanders. The fact that you already have more than one group of special operations troops under your command shows a preference for quality troops rather than the rank and file.
High Colonel Terrend has managed to support you in relations to Imperial Intelligence, as he's a highly respected Stormtrooper commander, his words on someones loyalty carries weight.
General Avik reports via holocall that he has durin the span of a month managed to settle almost four million citizens on the planet. The construction droids has been a great help in making sure there are actual residential quarters available, and the comparatively unappealing prefab habitats have been used only temporarily and then repurposed into feedstock for the droids. There's some six million colonists left in carbonite, but given one or two months more, he's certain he could hand you an empty Lucrehulk.
Admiral Delste gives you a tour of the finished Cardan V-class station, and tells you he reshuffled some of his crew to make sure it was fully staffed in time. This has reflected well on him in the eyes of the Navy, as the now have an actual anchor-point aside from the deepdocks.
Admirals Kothari and Horne report that they worked together to make sure a clear pipeline of materials from the refinery to the factory could be ensured. Volunteers were taken from Kodu to work there, and you now have some basic industry running in the system. Although not nearly enough to even support the Cardan stations manufacturing capabilities.
Admiral Jandi delivers you the first tiny ingot of aurodium produced, as a keepsake to remember that it was your drive and conviction that made this possible. He then reports that mining is up and running and will be able to support industrial endeavours without delay.
Admiral Ardan has a less than excited expression, as he tells you that there was absolutely no way for him to put the medical station into its proper position in orbit what with both the construction of the Cardan station and the constant transport traffic between the colonial Lucrehulk and the surface. Orbit around where it was supposed to go was quite simply to busy to get it done right now.
Admiral Kore hand you the report on Gora Beinn, much of the flora and fauna, while primitive, show complex chemical compositions native in their makeup, a necessity to live on a frigid toxic planet probably. While harvesting them would be a hassle for the workers involved, there could be future benefits if researched.
Admiral Dalsar-Tagge hands you the report on the remaining system features, and comments that while you have two gas giants, unfortunately neither supported the presence of tibanna, as everyone had been hoping for. Not surprising, as it is a very rare gas, but with your luck on other parts of this system you could at least hope.
Admiral Hir simply reports that there were no problems in adjusting the patrols, and that the system is as secure as before.
Agent Senk gives his report in private, after the meeting, simply handing you a completed dossier on Cric Horne, and tells you that this little exercise has also been helpful for him in building a rapport with Imperial Intelligence. Meaning they aren't as suspicious of him as they'd normally be, he's still ISB and thus a rival, but it won't affect any operations.
After the meeting and the reports, you are contacted by the Unrelenting Castigation, the Lictor-class ship you handed over to the ISB. What follows is a raport that the first few re-educations are already done, and though about half of them may not be fit for military service any more, they are all loyal and can be put to work again.
As you put your data in order for the next month you sit and think about that. The ISB are utterly brutal, you know something about that, as you yourself has been in their care once. Voluntarily, of course, but it wasn't pleasant regardless. It was just after the Declaration of a New Order, you started feeling doubts, as you considered yourself loyal to the Republic, but this wasn't it. Sure, it sidestepped the corruption of the senate, and the Supreme Chancellor had always been supportive of the military, but this wasn't the Republic. But then you realized a horrible possibility, you had several times served alongside Jedi, and you had seen them twist a mans minds with mere words and gestures.
So you contacted the newly formed ISB, and told them that you were feeling doubts about the new order, but that you worried it was because the Jedi traitors had gotten to you. What followed was weeks of intensive interrogations and ideological screening. You got out of it clean, and was told that you had of course been right, those doubts wasn't your doubts, they had been planted there by the traitorous Jedi in preparation for their coup, to make trusted commanders stand paralyzed as they struck. But your will had been to strong, and as such, your loyalty couldn't be swayed by such simple tricks.
You are certain that Ecker has is several magnitudes worse than you had, you came out of it whole, as yourself, without any of the eccentricities that ISB re-education graduates normally have. Of course, you weren't re-educated, you just had your loyalty confirmed and uncertainties assuaged. So the situation isn't completely comparable, but you do know that the ISB won't stop working on a subject until they are done or the subject expires.

A/N: I had really hoped to give you an interesting choice about how much you'd lean into the Imperialization of the economy thing the Empire does, but then I critted the HHCO roll, making that entire vote pointless. I left it in regardless, since it was supposed to be there.
Also, Admiral Coth is clearly cursed, both times I've rolled massive or critical failures for one of your actions, it has been Coth that suffered.
Also, the things with Workforce, Mining and Industry I'll put up as a colony sheet separately.
