The Sith of Datawork by Ken Liu
Terrific!
Remember the scene where C-3PO and R2-D2 are in the escape pod and the gunners on the Star Destroyer, let it go after detecting no life signs aboard?
What if the gunner had second thought about not firing on it?
How can he save himself if his inaction is called into question?
Paperwork! Or datawork as it’s called here. Enter Arvira, fleet logistics liaison (grade 4) who knows the forms to fill.
Lots of fun, especially because you just know that running an empire requires quite a lot of forms. All bureaucracies need a datatrail.
