| Trying to help out in getting the CSA established since the RP is heading towards a direction in which it would be necessary to have such. I'm working off of what was previously established, with slight tweaks and modifications. I'll have a profile for this character up soon, with the plan of replacing Hirken upon his death with this character... so, long, drawn out plot involved here. Anyways, I want to have an established CSA Picket Fleet. I based it upon the formerly established fleet. Why is it slightly more powerful and of different make-up? That is a good question. The answer is simple, and to the point. At this time, the CSA is relatively new, having been established as an organization less than a decade ago, so it has new and shiny things, plus the benefit of being the primary benefactor of Imperial defense contracts, thus lots of credits, as well as being an Imperial "pet" project, thus more credits. Of course, by the time we had reach in the last version of AGW, the CSA had waned in its glory, and favoritism by the galactic government, and was reeling from the private fallout of Project Trebuchet and the backing of a few failed Imperial warlords, if I remember correctly. Hopefully, this answers any questions. So, without further to do, the CSA Picket Fleet, gentlemen.

| You recall that this fleet was allowed to be as large as it was on the condition that it'd never be used outside of the Corporate Sector, yes? Just want to make sure we're still agreed on that time-honored condition before I entertain these numbers.

| I'm not sure the Corporate Sector Authority's "newness" convinces me that it should have more ships now than it did before. The number of ships it had was never really an IC issue at all because it was always stated there are "indeterminate, additional Victory-class Star Destroyers on patrol throughout the Sector." In other words, infinite VSDs whenever they're needed. No, it was an entirely OOC issue of how many ships are reasonable for any faction in the RP to have, and I still think the original numbers are rather more than reasonable, no matter what timeline it's in. So really, I simply can't imagine approving of any more ships than I did the first time, which is probably the most ships I've ever approved, ever. And ever. Why you're requesting more than the original numbers when the original numbers already had infinite VSDs and when all these ships are confined to the Corporate Sector anyway, I don't understand. Below are the original numbers we approved.
The Corporate Sector Authority
(Task Force Alpha)
● (1) Victory-class Star Destroyer
● (2) Marauder-class Corvettes
● (2) Dreadnaught-class Cruisers
(Task Force Beta)
● (1) Invincible-class Dreadnaught (in poor condition)
● (2) Marauder-class Corvettes
(Task Force Gamma)
● (1) Victory-class Star Destroyer
● (1) Lucrehulk-class Battleship (secondhand)
● (2) Marauder-class Corvettes
(Support/Miscellaneous)
● (1) Victory-class Star Destroyer (immoble over Etti IV)
● (1) Lucrehulk-class Battleship (in very poor condition)
● (2) Dreadnaught-class Cruisers
● (2) Marauder-class Corvettes
● Indeterminate, additional Victory-class Star Destroyers on patrol throughout the Sector
I guess my question is, in what conceivable situation are these not enough ships for you? I'm vexed, here.
So, I want to distinguish that from the type of ships it has. I understand what you're saying about the "newness" of the Corporate Sector Authority, but I don't see any indication that it ever had anything but hand-me-down ships. I don't think it's a money issue, it's an issue of pride, or lack thereof—the CSA is about cost efficiency, and if that means using essentially barges with guns on them, that's what they'll do. They had no problem using hand-me-down Separatist ships, it's true, and while you do include some of those in this request, those are older, not newer ships. Which I'm fine with, as long as it's not in addition to the original numbers. That is, if you want to trade some Marauders or Dreadnaughts from the original numbers for some Recusants here or there, that'd be fine with me (although I think it's a reduction in firepower).
Those are my thoughts on this.
