Ok, for this request, please refer to the description here. While it does not cover his actual living quarters and castle, it covers the fortress area of sorts that is the seat of the Kinyov Province.

| If I might ask, why the denial off all the anti-infantry weapons (namely the particle turrets) on the gatehouses?
The speeder trucks are utilized to assist and aid in carrying supplies across the desert to the more remote communities, and the landspeeders and BARC bikes are used to keep order on the ground; if you noted I said that many of the police and peacekeeping forces utilize that particular spot as their base. I'm willing to cut back on the VAAT's to 2, if that's ok, but if possible I'd like to field 6 airspeeders and 6 of the interceptors.

| I missed these, from the "Summit":
DENY 4 of the particle cannon turrets.
And if it's the case that the trucks are used for the purposes of transport then, as has traditionally been the case, you needn't request them. (That said, I did approve the speeder trucks, or meant to. The fact they appeared in the approve and deny columns simultaneously was my bad, I'll fix that).
As for my reasoning here, you've requested a castle that's impervious to everything but orbital bombardment (thus rather inviting orbital bombardment, but I digress). My emphasis on the particle cannons is because they're versatile weapons that can be employed equally, or more or less equally, against infantry and armor and air vehicles, thus thinning their number is intended to make the castle only somewhat less impervious while leaving abundantly intact its ability to blow up pretty much anything that wanders near it. Bear in mind you've also requested (or mentioned elsewhere, at least) over 1,000 troops defending this castle on a permanent basis; the ability of these troops in fortified positions to deter infantry shouldn't be understated especially if they have E-Webs and other specifically anti-infantry weapons, which I think are adequate in place of the more multi-purpose particle slaughterguns.
And as for the speeder bikes, I left intact what I think is a sufficient number of them in the "Breaker." 10 speeder bikes for recon and rapid response seems adequate to me on top of the trucks and the V-19 landspeeders already approved. Certainly over 50 of them is more than adequate. I suppose I was a bit reluctant to see multiple motor pools of speeder bikes throughout the compound when one should be enough, considering the point of a speeder bike is its mobility.
My reasoning on the VAAT's is more or less the same as above. But I loosened up and went with 1 (see my edited list).
Finally, with regard to the A-222 interceptors, I just felt there should be something this castle can't do, and the ability to engage enemy fighters in one-on-one combat is what I went with. I was also thinking ahead to the probability that Stark is going to have ships at some point rather soon and that it'd be reasonable if he wants better air cover for his castle to use one or more of his ships for this purpose.

| Hey, no problem. I appreciate you linking to the Wookieepedia pages. You sure this is okay, though? To be honest I was prepared to haggle some more.

| Well, you do have a point. It -is- an awful lot to ask for; albeit my castle/fortress/living thing was rather expansive, and I have yet to even detail his home itself. those are sort of the steps and the doorway into it. I suppose at some point I'll have to get some sort of ships for him to use, and there are the R&L products I'll have to request that are mentioned in the Communications board and such, so it's more than fair. A few turrets and a few less speeders and no K-222's (even though they are kinda cool, :P) are more than reasonable for me to give up.
