Building bases and patrols for a fictional Imperial fleet

How should a reinforced Imperial fleet pacify the northern quarter of the Star Wars galaxy?

Define the mission, secure a main base, and expand patrols through secondary and tertiary bases while distributing the force across the area.

The Star Wars scenario assigns a reinforced Imperial fleet to pacify a northern quarter of the galaxy. Its mix of major warships and smaller vessels is judged more balanced than a previous force, although the mission could still require too many ships if it covered a literal quarter of the galaxy. The earlier practice of pairing Star Destroyers is contrasted with the need to distribute this fleet across a wide area. The proposed sequence is to secure a primary base, run patrols from it, and establish secondary and tertiary bases as the network expands. Whether the Corporate Sector needs conquest or policing remains a question about the mission itself.
