| It's been a while since Rall has been around, and having left the Galaxy to hide in the unknown regions to gather strength before making another move. As it goes I see Rall changing as a character, evolving from his previous way of thinking and his desires to see the Confederacy of Independent Systems rise from the ashes. I see him coming to this conclusion after realizing that the war is over, it's been over for a very long time and what he needs now is allies not enemies. He cant keep himself going by calling himself a Separatist anymore, he has to reform his structure, reform how he goes about his actions. He's not a Separatist fighting a war that was lost. He's a Freedom fighter now, a man using his power to help those that the Empire is stepping on. To this effect I see him changing his ways and accepting that in order to survive he has to change. I see him freeing the slaves, (there were approved in this old request ,) while at the same time freeing the Twi'leks, (also approved in that request,) but keeping them around to train them how to fight, to protect themselves and Rall himself as bodyguards. He would use his ships to drop off the slaves at habitable worlds of their choice, either at the edges of the Outer Rim or in the unknown regions, while also welcoming those that wished to stay and train to fight rather than run.
I also kind of see Rall as being the type that would go looking for help in the Unknown Regions, to find those few Separatist that ran to the Unknown Regions from the Empire and are hiding out. Or those people, pirates, mercenaries, etc, that want more than to just sit there. That want to actually fight for something rather than just staying in the Unknown Regions away from anything they may have enjoyed before fleeing the Empire's reach. I see Rall being the one to make alliances and friends in the Unknown Regions, making deals and gathering forces for a renewed strike, though being smart enough to take a system that the Empire doesnt even have power in or an interest in.
As such I would like to request the following.
I am requesting this system in particular in this specific Sector because of the information provided in the articles, and on the galactic maps for Star Wars that can be found. The Trilon Sector sits at the edge of the Outer Rim, it's basically as far out as one can go. It sits at the end of the Outer Rim, as well as at the end of the Free Standing Sectors of the Mid Rim. The information of the systems shown give enough information to say that the Sector is considered part of the Empire, but the Empire hasn't touched it. The three systems shown say enough to conclude that the Empire has no real clue about the Sector, or that the population is so few that it is a Sector that would be brushed under the rug and not paid any attention to, meaning it is the perfect place for Rall to set up shop.
Fleet Request
The Fighters listed above would be the compliment for the Quasar Fire class Bulk Cruiser.

| Okay, let's take a look at this here request. First, allow me to welcome you back, Carlisle, with a fond handshake and a basket of cheeses. Here, these are for you. Now, with the pleasantries out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks. Last we saw of Rall, he meandered into the Unknown Regions with a few ships and a cadre of droids. I don't have much issue with him recruiting some people in the Unknown Regions, my main question pertains to where exactly these new ships are coming from. I don't imagine he has much in the way of funding, at the moment, what with having been effectively cut off from much of his network once he felt into unknown space. Where's he getting the money for these ships + the crew?
I APPROVE of the concept + the taking of a small, unimportant sector. I'll need to see where the money and ships are coming from. I imagine a crew of ragtag separatists won't fight the Empire on spirit alone, especially with mercenaries involved.

| Let me make a quick clear up before I get into the ships and money. While Rall did meander off into the Unknown Regions, these vessels would be added onto the fleet he already commands. Basically they're like reinforcements to fill in the holes that his fleet would have while taking action.
Now, onto the money and the ships. When we last saw Rall meandering off, there was still Winter Manufacturing running in the Empress Teta system, with plans to build a second plant in Hutt Space (though that really didnt go through.) Now while yes Winter Manufacturing was a small 100 employ plant, we can still say that even a small company over a substantial period of time can amass a sizeable fund which would in turn be used as a portion of paying for these forces. The extra money would in fact be coming from taking "the small, unimportant sector." The promise of money. The Gannaria system which I've requested is known for Gannaria Narco-spice, which the article says it quite valuable. This promise of being paid from the credits produced from selling this spice, or even paying the forces with the spice alone for them to sell would be more than enough to entice these beings to remain with Rall and secure the system to secure this spice.
The ships would be coming from the Unknown Regions and the fringes of the Outer Rim. From people that are disillusioned with the Empire, who see that it is not better than the Republic and that the CIS would in fact have been better than the Empire. The ships would be gathered from both former Separatist running to the Unknown Regions, and from those fringers in the Outer Rim that seek to protect themsleves by joining a larger force, a strength in numbers tactic.

| So you're requesting these ships in addition to the forces he had when he was written out? He already had a good-sized fleet as-is, what's the purpose of requesting more? Ships aside, I can accept the premise of the spice exports being a good fund source, I'm not too sold on a small company like Winter amassing much in the span of about a year. Certainly not enough to pay for these new ships, in my mind.

| As I said, the extra ships are to fill in the spaces. While yes he did have a good sized fleet as is, these extra vessels would be filling in minor areas, as they are more dedicated war ships, than compared to what he has. Many of the vessels in his current fleet are either of civilian make meaning they require more escorts, and they're getting older. By adding in these extra vessels he is ensuring the survival of his fleet and playing off of the weaknesses and strengths of these new ships when coupled with what he has to create a dynamic fighting force that would be able to protect the Gannaria System, and to a leser extent the Sector as a whole. This is to say that while he'd be able to handle most situations with minimal damage to minimal losses, these additions wouldn't completely make his fleet undeaftable.

| The last time more ships were requested for Rall, management ruled that he was essentially "capped" at his current force levels unless or until more activity is seen from him. Since that time, he disappeared into the Unknown Regions for a year or so in IC time. To quote myself from an earlier request:
(Jace_Varitek) I DENY for the time being at least, though if I see more offense from Rall's existing forces I might be more inclined to approve of some of this later
I stand by that now. I'm glad to see you want to be active with him and I think you have a good plan to do so, beginning with your foothold in the Gannaria system, which I APPROVE (provided some mention of the conquest is made IC, and it having been done quite recently). But I continue to insist that more ships for Rall depend on more activity from him.
The unfortunately-named Gannaria system aside, a word on Rall's other resources; first, partnerships with anyone else in the Unknown Regions strike me as highly unlikely. The Unknown Regions are a treacherous place, with empires and despots of its own. With the Galactic Empire clearly having no designs on the Unknown Regions, it seems far-fetched to me that anyone there would care about Palpatine. If anything, teaming up with Rall would be a provocation to the Empire; more likely, they'd be hostile to Rall and want him out of the Unknown Regions. Secondly, I don't imagine that Winter Manufacturing is still in business. Or if it is, I can't imagine it would remain affiliated with Rall, who, again, disappeared for a year. That, and sooner or later someone would ask who this anonymous shareholder is who never shows up for meetings; the success of the company would almost surely depend on dissolving any ties to Rall (fully aware that there's nothing that Rall can really do about it).
But fortunately, the Gannaria system replaces Winter Manufacturing as a funding source for Rall.
What I have in terms of ships for Rall, then, is this:
(Lord Valin Rall) ▪ 2 Munificent-class Star Frigates
▪ 2 Saboath-class Destroyers
▪ 4 Hardcell-class Transports
▪ 4 Modified Sheathipede-class transports
▪ 1 Modified Trade Federation Bacta Ship
▪ Remnants of the Droid Army T34 Division
Fighters will be the first time I'm open to approving once you're more firmly situated in the Gannaria system.

| Also, may I say I find the clash of warm and cool colors in high contrast in Rall's and Davon's respective avatars to be quite cool.

| The fact they're leaning in opposite directions completes the symbolism of them being complete opposites in every way. It's as if they're natural nemeses. (Though, of course, they have nothing to do with each other).

| A Return . This follows the short conquest of the Gannaria world. I did give time between my posts to allow anyone to step in, however no one did. For the sake of quickly wrapping this request up I've wrapped up the thread.
I believe then all that is left is to come to an agreement on the control of the Gannaria system with the ships already being denied.
