| With Shiva's front companies offloading and selling valuable minerals along the Outer Rim, profits have been made. As such, to replace lost ships and keep the Red Mynock pirates happy, the following would be purchased: 1x Telgorn dropship. No real stats exist for this, so I've made a few modifications and tried to flesh it out:
- 1x Turreted dual laser cannon (dorsal)
- 1x Turreted dual turbolaser cannons (port side)
- 1x Ion cannon (starboard side, forward firing)
- Interior cargo space removed and additional power generator added to either boost shielding or weapons, though not both at the same time.
- Speed comparable to a stock JumpMaster 5000
4x N-1 starfighters purchased off the black market.

| I'll deal with the N-1's first because I feel more strongly about it. I assume your basis for being able to acquire N-1's on the black market is because Tyber Zann and his Zann Consortium are seen using them in the video game Empire At War and, thus, they must be rather common among criminals. It's a reasonable assumption, except that it's based on Empire At War. I've been on the record before about this game and, with no small amount of humor, with the ridiculous character of Tyber Zann, and his ridiculous organization (btw, I believe in the game Tyber Zann gives Yoda a golden shower and LOVES IT, HE DOES. Yes, Tyber Zann is that awesome). But yes, please do look into that post I've linked to and you'll see my hesitation and my feeling that most of Empire At War needs to be regarded as non-canon. It's notable, I think, that Wookieepedia makes no mention of N-1's being used by pirates or criminals, and doesn't include either of these in its list of affiliations. As it stands, considering they're manufactured on Naboo for Naboo, I have a hard time believing any of them would end up on the black market. So, that said, I'm afraid I vote to DENY the N-1 starfighters. Btw, I think in Empire At War Tyber Zann also pulls Palpatine's hood over his head and slaps him around until he reveals the location of the Eclipse-class "Super" Star Destroyer, then says "Later, NERD!" and goes on to steal it all by himself and use it to blow up Cloud City. Yes, Tyber Zann is that awesome. But I digress. I vote to APPROVE the Telgorn-class and the statistics you've come up with for it, which seem reasonable to me and appropriate to the picture. Was there another sort of starfighter you wanted to request to replace the N-1's?

| Actually, I've never played Empire at War and my knowledge of Tyber Zann is limited to Wookieepedia. Unfortunately, it was too long and boring and I didn't read all of it. I only assumed that with the rise of the Empire, Naboo would have sold off some of its fighters. Any chance you'd reconsider the N-1? Added (19 Jan 2011, 3:07 Am)

I'd settle for an equal number of Firespray-31s.

| I don't see it happening with the N-1's, I'm afraid. Also, I don't think the Firespray-class is in production at this time. Granted, it appears rather vague whether it is in production, but the typist who RP's Boba Fett has said in the past that he's confident it isn't.

| According to Wiki the Firespray 31s were created just before the battle of Naboo, however all save one were destroyed...and Boba took it. So, that in mind, and the fact that I would never approve such a thing I have to vote against those. As for the N-1s I too am afraid that they seem to be largely made FOR Naboo, this is not to say that it could not happen, just it would LIKELY not happen. I have played the game to which Jace refers so I have no bias there, still it is unlikely enough that I must go against it as well.
The Telgorn look alright, thus my vote stands: N-1s: DENY
Firesprays: DENY
Telgorn: APPROVE
