This is a request for the military forces of the Mereel Clan. I've put this off for far too long, and tried to use the Ordo forces as an example to base this off of.

Kedalbe-class Battleship
Modification: Shield Leecher weapon replaced with an additional turbolaser battery and heavy ion cannon battery.
Complement:
36 StarViper-class Attack Platforms
2 AIAT/i Gunships
2 Meteor-class Q-Carriers

2 Crusader-class Corvettes

1 M22-T Krayt Gunship
3 M12-L Kimogila Heavy Fighters
12 Pursuer-class Enforcement Ships

Alor'ad Jabo'a Mereel
Striil Ori'ramikade

I APPROVE of all of it, with the exception of the Keldabe-class Battleship. I appreciate that you used the Ordo Clan's forces as a template for the Mereel Clan's, but it's always been my understanding—correct me if I'm wrong—that the Ordos are more numerous than the Mereels and should, probably, have more forces (also, Clan Ordo's Lictor-class vessel is, for all intents and purposes, stationary; it is used only for defense). However, if you'd like to switch out the Keldabe-class for a third Crusader-class, I'd be amenable to that. My other reservation about this is that Bralor's request for ships is still pending, and since all Mandalorian ships are pretty much his to use as he pleases, I'd be more comfortable knowing what his numbers are first before I approve of too much for the Mereels. Also, following up on the Ordo numbers—they don't have any Keldabes either, because my original thinking was that only Bralor would have them.

My only other reservation—which is a personal preference only, not something I'm insisting on—is about the AIAT/i gunships. I'm not convinced that because Jango Fett and, apparently, Jaster Mereel used one, that therefore it would be in use generally by Mandalorians (especially since it's manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, not MandalMotors like the rest of your ships). It strikes me sort of like the YT-1300 freighter, which is dreadfully common in Star Wars RP because Han Solo had one, despite the fact that it's really not a remarkable ship without its modifications.

But! I realize this is an incredibly small detail, so I'm not flipping out about it. Also, you're only requesting 2 of them so I suppose it's alright. After all, you didn't request any Firespray-class ships, thank God. So I take it back, the AIAT/i's are fine.

On a related note, it's good to see you back in action. I look forward to you and Bralor working together again, like the old days.
