Ravak & Larben has not done this to my knowledge. It has, instead, shrouded its operations in secrecy. One cannot be blamed for assuming that this is, probably, for criminal purposes; a corporation doesn't hide if it has no reason to hide. The Senator is quite right, however, that some investigation of the company is in order. I believe the Chief of State called for such an investigation, although I would defer to him on whether or not it has been ordered or conducted.

Also, I don't think the question has ever been answered—exactly what is Senator Ryuun's interest in this potentially criminal organization? Druckenwell has a shipyard of its own, as I understand it, which provides employment to quite a few of his people. Yet the Senator seems quite insistent on the idea of creating more competition for his planet's own, celebrated industry. Not only this, but actually purchasing ships from Ravak & Larben instead of his own industry and, as I've noted before, instead of many fine, law-abiding New Republic shipwrights.

Well, perhaps I have spoken in haste. There is reason to care, of course, because to the extent that Ravak & Larben might potentially be a criminal front, passing credits into the hands of pirates or dictators or warlords, it should be investigated (as I think we agree). But unless Druckenwell is declaring itself to be, henceforth, the missionary of the galaxy to every confused species, everywhere, "who do not understand how the New Republic works," it remains odd to me that the Senator is so specifically concerned with Ravak & Larben.
