| For the sake of planetary security and as planetary governor, the following request is made: 1) Seeing as how Druckenwell has a population of 9.3 billion, I do not believe that it is improbably to train/request no less than one million persons as a dedicated militia and/or police force. These would be armed with various BlasTech-produced weapons (list can be found Here) and would serve as a Druckenwell-only defense force to assist the public maintain law and order, as well as repel assaults from off-world. 2) Vehicle Requests: 2a) As Druckenwell is a water and land-based planet, the following vehicles have been selected: Approx. 400x All-Terrain Advance Raider walkers for the purpose of serving as a light attack force against hostile landings. When not used for defensive situations, they will be housed in various storage areas upon Druckenwell. Approx. 800x All-Terrain Anti-Aircraft walker for the purpose of keeping Druckenwell's skies clear of invading forces. The reason for such a high number of mobile units is that, being mobile, they can more easily avoid strikes from orbiting vessels, unlike ground-based emplacements. This was seen as worth the loss in range, as they can still engage sub-orbital dropships and landing barges. Approx. 4-8x All-Terrain Armored Transports (if these are not available for purchase, then the equivalent All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer is acceptable). If an enemy force (the Remnant) comes to Druckenwell, they are sure to land heavy assault vehicles alongside lighter craft and infantry. The request for these specific heavy vehicles places them in a defensive role of the capitol only. I realize their size and cost makes them hard to produce, but it would be appreciated. Approx. 300-400x each of V-19 landspeeders and Seraph-class urban landspeeder. These will be used primarily by police and patrol units within the cities to keep order. As many large industrial worlds have problems with crime, it seems unwise to leave the patrolling officers without enough firepower to defend themselves or apprehend stubborn criminals. Additional vehicles may be requested after consultation and when less time constraints are present.

| It's been a day or two, I know. Just had to digest this request somewhat, and I'll have a post up on it this afternoon or tonight. Jace Varitek

| I actually motion to APPROVE the request, but only that such a militarization of the planet would occur over a minimum of 2 months of RL time, at which time you show at least some roleplay illustrating the modernization of the defensive capabilities of the planet. I am flexible as to the duration of the completion of the project, but I don't believe that a planet that is now undergoing an overhaul of military assets to protect its planet would be capable of accomplishing a feat quickly (hence the 2 month delay). I could, for instance, see a 2 week period of the militia forces being brought up to the number listed, but for the armored divisions and emplacements--longer by far. I would also be interested to see you roleplay acquiring (through purchase or loan) the vehicles from PC or NPC factions, thereby generating a sort of network of trade and prosperity that encircles the recent militarization and in turn can create new facets of RP for the planet. Regardless as to this last point, I would at least like to see sometime delay (listed above) between the start and finish of the project, and at least SOME RP that shows the process of this project and how it develops.

| I apologize for the delay on this request, and vote to DENY it not because I disagree with it, but because I think it's unnecessary. If you'll bear with me, I have a somewhat circuitous explanation. Rule 2B (which has become a very popular rule lately, lol) states that "the total number of army and militia numbers need not be specified, except in the instance of a particular battle (whereupon each combatant will state the number of troops, artillery and equipment being used for offense and defense, respectively)." Now, the rule is generally intended for the Republic and Remnant factions, which are so large that it would be impossible to keep a working tally on how many troops and tanks it has, and where they are at all times. Also, because of its size and manufacturing ability, it's basically assumed that they have near infinite numbers at their disposal (within reason). I think the same applies to Druckenwell since, like Brentaal and Neimoidia, for instance, the population and government is sufficient to keep the troops and tanks comin' (whereas it probably wouldn't apply to Dantooine or the IMC, for instance, because they're smaller and thus need to request their ground forces). So basically, I don't really disagree with your numbers, but I do disagree somewhat at you having to list them and thus, keep track of their movements. There might also be an element of intimidation (unintentional, that is) when someone sees multiple hundreds of tanks and airspeeders and the like, which is another part of the reason why the rule is in effect. I think it's just much more practical, especially for you, to only list the troops, tanks and speeders you're using on a battle-by-battle basis, and leave the overall total to the imagination.

| That's fair enough Jace (and Echuu). Overall, what I believe I was going for was vehicle types and such. I didn't want to simply say 'Well... Druckenwell has AT-AT weapons platforms and so on!' I'm willing to keep track of numbers myself (or, as you said, a case-by-case basis), but I wanted to make sure the items I'd like to field are acceptable to management.

| Perhaps something like, "an indeterminate number of All Terrain Advanced Raiders, All Terrain Anti-Aircraft walkers, All Terrain Armored Transports" (which I think are fine), "V-19 and Seraph landspeeders"? That way you have vehicle types you can draw from when you specify the numbers of a particular battle? Jace Varitek

| That works well. I'm still trying to go through and weed out what vehicles Druckenwell could use. I'm trying to find a mix of heavy to medium defensive artillery balanced with medium to light craft for police use. It's hard sorting through walkers, wheeled vehicles, sea and air.

| Is this thing going anywhere? I would post on it myself but it seems to be at some juncture between Jace and Ryuun.
