The Imperial communiqué begins with communications rather than a superweapon. Cannibalized HoloNet transceivers would connect sector-group flagships, the command ship, and the Imperial capital so forces could coordinate in minutes instead of waiting for rendezvous reports. Over-sectors would ignore ordinary administrative boundaries and group troubled systems around the operational problem. They would receive more forces than normal sectors so small threats could be suppressed before becoming entrenched. For the High Seas Fleet comparison, the transferable lesson is that organization, communications, and the ability to concentrate force can matter as much as an individual ship's power.

Communications make Tarkin's over-sectors responsive
Tarkin's fictional over-sector system links faster communications to early intervention and the concentration of forces where unrest is greatest.
