| This is a list of Sluis Van's current space defense forces; strictly for use by Sluis Van but now expanded to cover the entire Sluis Sector. As such, I would request the following vessels:
2x CR90 corvette
1x DP20 gunship
36x R-41 Starchaser
12x Ye-4 gunship
The understanding is that the above craft will be used specifically for patrol and defense of the Sluis Sector, with additional help pulled from Sluis Van's own vessels. As time allows, the R-41s will be phased out in favor of a Sluissi original design.
Toben Domon
Senator, Sluis Van

| Because Sluis Sector is a vital Outer Rim territory for the Galactic Empire due to its shipyards, in addition to the antiquated Hammerhead II-class, I have no problem APPROVING this request.

| I vote to DENY the DP20 gunship, but I APPROVE of the rest. The gunship would just be too much firepower on top of all the rest of it, when Sluis Van already has what it needs most; enough mobile firepower to get where it needs to be and be there long enough for reinforcements like the Nebulon-B's or the Class 1000 to show up. Bear in mind, if we're talking about the defense of a whole sector, that NPC planets are assumed to have some basic form of NPC defense that can be specified when needed (a handful of starfighters or the occasional system patrol craft, etc.).
Also, Tremaine, the Hammerhead isn't antiquated—it was a new design that Sluis Van built reminiscent of the original Hammerhead, and it's customized to be larger and more heavily-armed than the original. Whatever else I've called it in the past, it's certainly not a disadvantage for Sluis Van.

| If I may Jace, I made the mistake of posting this as Sluis Van's Senator and not as the Khedive, who is responsible for the sector as a whole. Sluis Van does have its own defense fleet, and it weakens the fleet by placing its own ships on patrol in the sector. Certain planets, Praesitlyn, for example, which has been explained to not have a defensive force via play, would be one such world that would now have to have a dedicated defense of some kind, especially with the Khedive's promise. Now, certain planets like Dagobah aren't likely to need too much checking up on, but this is an entire sector the Khedive has to keep patrolled; most sector fleets have one or more Star Destroyers backing them. Now, obviously, Khedive Thisst doesn't have the pull or might of the Imperial Navy, but the Sluissi aren't about to commit their flagship to sector defense; that's strictly for Sluis Van unless an emergency strikes.
Are you sure you won't reconsider the Dp20?

| That's kind of what I mean, though. Sluis Van does have its own fleet, and that it's being drawn upon to defend other worlds, seems to me, is to the detriment of Sluis Van. But with the line between Sluis Van and the Khedive as the sector ruler blurred, I'm disinclined to approve of more ships that may end up all being used in tandem elsewhere in the RP, especially since, as I was driving at above, Thisst can draw upon NPC ships to defend his planets if he has to, without having to request them. Praesitlyn has been established as not having a defense, it's true, but it didn't need to be necessarily; when Malos showed up there, you could have said that Thisst happened to have, say, an IPV-1 or a Tartan-class on patrol, or something. That'd be fine, and in accordance with how it's been done in the RP in the past.
But you can see why, in addition to this, I'm reluctant to approve of a lot more firepower under the circumstances. The absence of Star Destroyer-quality ships at Thisst's disposal could be explained for exactly the reason you point out, he's not a Moff and presumably he's limited to his own resources and Sluis Van's resources, not the Empire's (except when it sends ships there—I assume it always has some at Sluis Van, just not under Thisst's command).

| I can go with this and utilize the NPC ship rule if need be. Go ahead and drop the Dp20

| APPROVED, looks like.
(I'm open to the DP20 in the future, incidentally. Just want to see how this settles first).
