| Seeing as how things are heating up, I had a few ideas and such.
To begin, Shiva has been exporting a multitude of wealth for some time, in the form of ores and the like, but spending very little outside the upkeep of the Red Mynocks. As such, I would request he acquire, by one means or another:
1x Munificent-class cruiser.
This will bring him on par a little more with some of the fleets that abound.
I would also request overtures to the following pirate groups for the use of snubfighters and transport vessels:
Ay'Nat Pirates
Blacklight Pirates
Kliap Pirates (if applicable by timeline)
Merson Pirates
Norulac Freebooters
Order of Independent trade
Shiva
The Shadowlord
The Lightbringer
Separatist High Commander (former)

| Can you do me a favor and update me on your forces, bearing in mind all of the forces Shiva could potentially bring to bear? I have a feeling that the official list (below) is out of date.
Commander Shiva
▪ 1 Providence-class Carrier/Destroyer (w/complement to be determined)
▪ 1 Munificent-class Frigate
▪ 1 base of operations on Rinn
Once we have that cleared up, I'll get to the request itself.

| If I recall correctly, the forces of the Red Mynocks, being largely the alternate forces, consist of:
1x Modified Telgorn dropship
8x R-41 Starchasers
1x YZ-775 freighter
4x Planetary Defender starfighters
1x Modified JumpMaster 5000
Strictly speaking, the Red Mynocks are not a 'direct' part of his command, being used to conduct his hit and run operations and whatnot.

| Okay, no problem. So..
Commander Shiva
▪ 1 Providence-class Carrier/Destroyer (w/complement to be determined)
▪ 1 Munificent-class Frigate
▪ 1 base of operations on Rinn
(Red Mynocks)
▪ 1 Modified Telgorn dropship
▪ 8 R-41 Starchasers
▪ 1 YZ-775 freighter
▪ 4 Planetary Defender starfighters
▪ 1 Modified JumpMaster 5000
In that case I vote to APPROVE the Munificent-class. Shall we say it's one that Shiva has had in his possession for some time, but hasn't been restored to functional condition until now? Also, while I vote to APPROVE you making overtures to these pirates, bear in mind a request will need to be made for any additional ships you intend to use for combat purposes. Also, the pirates are no doubt aware of the Empire's reward for Separatists and also, presumably, lack the discipline that Shiva commands with his own forces. Any overture that is made to these pirates, I think, should involve a heightened danger that someone in those pirate groups will report Shiva to the Empire. I also assume that, even if they're not made aware that Shiva is a Separatist, knowledge of his dealings would begin to spread in criminal circles because of the loose lips of these pirate groups.
As for the specific groups, I would discourage you from becoming involved with the Ay'Nat pirates because the impression I have from that article is that they're incredibly small potatoes and I can't imagine they have any real notoriety or resources. Also, let's assume that the Blacklight pirates do not, in fact, have a base in the Endor system. I'd prefer to keep Endor out of things until after the Battle of Endor occurs.
How is all this sounding?

| Fair enough. I just sort of grabbed names and such from around the time period. Most of the overtures would not be from Shiva himself, but rather from the proxies he works through and such. I would say wait until I make a request from said pirates to have such knowledge be out and about. This was more asking if it could be done, I suppose, as an idea.
