SOC-13
An interesting economic analysis of the destruction of two Imperial Death Stars and the fall of Emperor Palpatine. Some parallels to the dissolution of the First and Second Imperium. Once you get an Empire-sized banking crisis, there's nobody left with enough dosh to bail out the banks. Then it all goes tits up.
