Could you?


Could you be trusted to fire it? To not hesitate with the literal weight of an entire world on your shoulders and the ability to remove said weight via sheer, awesome power?

Its like a sequence of trigger mechanisms that fire the laser though. How many lasers were fired into 1 special beam again?

The pilots that dropped the bomb were agonized over their decision and were wracked with guilt for their entire lives. Imagine the shame one would have to feel being the guy that pushed the button that obliterated Alderaan.

To be fair, the guy who obliterated Alderaan got obliterated himself like, later in the same week

That's such a shitty situation to find yourself in. You have the Emperor in your head, Vader at your back, and Tarkin in your ear. Who could hold themselves back from pushing the button in that situation?

At that point, are you even really a person? Or just a puppet on a string?

At that scale you'd probably feel pretty removed from everything tbh. An entire world looks to be about the size of your fist and there's plenty more nearby.

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

They should just have a room full of dudes all pushing identical buttons and no one knows which one actually fires the laser

Aw look how utterly crap that is.

Lets look at how they do planetary destruction in the superior Star Trek:

As for the topic at hand no I couldn't fire that weapon.

How much does it pay?

Tending the significance to match a whimsied fable, tumult for the ignorant and purpose for the violence, a confused loose alliance forming them and us.

Says he was a Master Chief Gunnery Officer and that equivalents to E-9 in modern militaries and he was older than 50 so he likely had a solid 30 years in the Imperial Navy

So it'd be around:
Over 30 years
$8,151.90 / mo
$97,822.80 / yr

Not including housing allowances, substance allowance, other earned duty pay, etc.

So at least a solid 6 figures a year.

You are hired to work for the Empire.
You have probably cleared some heavy background and security checks to even be on the Empires latest superweapon and to be on the same vessel as the Emperor.
You wouldnt even be there if you couldnt push it, and even if you suddenly decided to not push it, you would be executed as a traitor and somebody else will press it.
