| In trying to get Decius Industries off the ground, and to work towards the ultimate goal of the previously approve plot, I'd like to request the following.
Aquisition of WESTAR as a subsidiary of Decius Industries. All assets related to the company would be moved to Deralia. All designed weapons would remain in production and for sale.
Production and resale contracts for the following items:
Any make and model of Phase I Clone Trooper Armor (now produced for any measurement of humanoid)
Any make and model of Phase II Clone Trooper Armor (now produced for any measurement of humanoid)
DC-series of weapons
Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon
PLX-1 Portable Missile Launcher
Reciprocating Quad Blaster
V-1 Thermal Detonator
LXR-1 Concussion Grenades
V-6 Haywire Grenades
HX2 Antipersonnel Mines
Any and all other unlisted equipment and weapons in use by the Grand Army of the Republic
With all of this being outdated, and in many cases with replacement lines of product in place, I doubt any of these are in actual production at this period, with most of what's popping up being old surplus. I'd like for Decius Industries, in expanding beyond making simple replacement parts for weapons and into the actual production of weapons, starting off by selling newly-manufactured weapons, albeit slightly outdated designs, which can provide a cheap alternative to the weaponry available from the current main arms manufacturers.

| I'm sorry if this comes across as rude (I'm so sleepy at the moment I'm probably a lot more forward than usual), but there's been zero activity from Decius Industries since its last request and I'm inclined to DENY, not any and all requests for Decius Industries until I see more activity from it, but certainly a request for a large number of canon designs being awarded to a faction that's not done anything to deserve them (so far). Again, I don't mean to sound rude about this, but that's my reasoning. Sorry!

| Granted I put alot of the difficulty of this company on myself by choosing not the greatest field to start up in, but one of the reasons you haven't seen any activity on this end is because, well, there just isn't any real work to be done in the RP at this point for a weapons parts manufacturer. As I said above, this is to increase its sales potential, and move into the broader arms manufacturing market. I mean, the only potential business I can see right now is a contract with CMMI, being one of the larger producers of new product at this time, but that absolutely will not happen with the state Cronese-Deralian affairs. I understand hesitation, but understand I'm attempting to break out of the block I'm currently in.
Is it possible for me to at least convince you on the WESTAR acquisition, if not the whole request? I mean, looking back on the other PC companies that have been established, for example, EPIC (Eos Production Insterstellar Corporations) was started by the acquisition of the controlling share of Xerrol Corporation, similar to my standing as one of the major shareholders in Rothana Heavy Engineering, along with the establishment of Decius Industries. The following RP of the character in questions consisted of a couple of memos, followed by a request to found his own company followed by a request to buy in whole another mining company. Followed by several more memos, followed by a consolidation and expansion of subsidiares and the company respectively. I hope you see the pattern here? More memos, more exansion. More memos, more expansion. The only real company activity was a mining agreement with Monor II, which I believe no longer exists. Have I not written enough memos? Of course, I say that in light jest; my point being, in those requests, and many other corporate requests, it was assumed on the half of management that there was a flow of credits based upon the company's area of operation and field of business.
I'm trying not to sound bratty about all of this, but I'm not seeing such an assessment being made here of a defense industry parts manufacturer which, while not having any contracts with the "major" defense companies, was implied to have contracts with several smaller firms and local companies throughout the galaxy in its initial request. If management is shifting away from the previous policy and procedure, by all means, do, but I'd rather be told "We're changing things to avoid the way it's been" rather than "You haven't done anything" when one of the largest corporations in the RP was built upon a mountain of memos.

| Not to be flip about your argument, but memos are activity. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them when Decius Industries hasn't even done that much.* However, EPIC's acquisition of the Xerrol Corporation was, in fact, the result of an arrangement with Njon the Hutt that involved EPIC's envoy, Rasuk Mithren, RPing with Njon on Nar Shaddaa, as I recall. This is activity that resulted from memos, originally. I also seem to recall some of EPIC's ships visited Monor II as part of its arrangement with Agapos, also the result of memos.
But the point is, while I understand your argument, I'm not sure I entirely accept that there's just nothing for Decius Industries to do. For instance, if Decius is a shareholder in Rothana Heavy Engineering, he could be writing to Schmuel Kadram or releasing statements even now about Rothana's seeming lack of response to the Arrowhead-class drone design. Or an editorial from Decius could appear in the Deralia News Net about how tensions with the Cronese Mandate are preventing it from making a deal there—exactly what you just said, in other words, but IC instead of OOC. All of these things can lead to more activity, and they remind us that Decius Industries exists.
*I do recall seeing a memo that you sent to Reuke Cambrist about a deal on Praesitlyn. And one to EPIC (today). So it's not fair to say you've done nothing at all. But enough to earn all of these canon designs? I'm not convinced. WESTAR? Okay, maybe. But first, are we certain that "WESTAR" is actually a company?

| I guess my problem here isn't so much that we approved your last request and nothing really came of it, but that, having been a few days here, I'm not confident that approving this request is going to bring about any activity either. I'd feel better about this if I thought Decius Industries has a sense of direction that it's pursuing, but it doesn't look to me, even now, like the motivation is there.

| Still nothing here. I'm going to call the request DENIED for now.
