Say, since from your MNKhquest posts you seem very into space stuff, are you aware of Per Aspera? A quest that is entirely about running a space program (and associated research) seems right up your alley.
Heya, Fasquardon. Would it be annoying if, as I just remembered these existed, I made a PM so I could tell you about some other battle droid variants the Trade Federation used during the Invasion of Naboo? While its far too later to have Jar Jar steal them for himself (at least for now), it may be helpful for the next turn.
