Thinking of taking over the universe?

The Galactic Empire is shown to be a practically unstoppable force that is run with military precision.

  1. double-check you protect your Achilles heel.

It probably wouldnt break the bank to install particle shielding as well, just as a precaution.

Yknow, on the off chance that a tin-pot little fighter can get past those impenetrable defences?

Protect your main reactor by learning from your mistakes.

Putting shielding around the reactor and mounting a few turrets close to it would be a very simple exercise.

Especially if youve watched your first attempt at building a planetary fortress in space go tits up.

Perhaps some proper targeting equipment might help, too.

Always have a backup plan.

Youve spent a fortune on a brand new space station.

But as its still under construction, its going to need some protection while you finish it.

The same goes for the first Death Stars tractor beam.

  1. confirm you breed an army that can shoot straight.

Was Jango Fett myopic?

Its either that or the Stormtroopers helmets are so poorly designed that they impair the troopers eyesight.

Because, for some reason, Imperial Stormtroopers seem incapable of hitting their targets.

And even then the shot only grazes her.

Failing that, if the Empire is going to invade your city, call a builder.

Because most of your walls are going to end up full of holes.

Give your soldiers armour that actually protects them.

Stormtrooper armour is, quite frankly, abysmal.

It doesnt protect them in the slightest.

One shot to the chest from a small blaster will take out a Stormtrooper instantly.

Its so flimsy that it cant even defend them against stones and tiny catapults.

Its enough to make you wonder why you bought the armour off the cheapest supplier in the first place.

The results are going to be the same, but its going to be significantly cheaper.

When building war machines, remember to double-check they dont have legs.

This ones a biggie.

Especially if youve got an almost unlimited arms budget and the technology to build floating tanks.

Always keep your bodyguards around.

Anyone who is familiar with the Expanded Universe knows that the Imperial Guards kick arse.

TheStar Warssaga would have been very short, indeed.

Never forget that blood is thicker than water.

Schoolboy errors, there.

Understand that your cunning trap might not be that cunning.

Especially if its a trap that brings the enemy fleet to your doorstep in its entirety.
