[X] Wat's Fate:
-[X] Hand him over to some of the Eternal City escapees, odds are they'd be happy to have custody of him and could use him to get leverage over the TU as a whole.
[X] Gurlanin Impersonator Is Go?
-[X] Yes. Getting someone to impersonate Wat for even a few days could be invaluable. Who knows where you could get them? (Naturally you'd hold off on dealing with Wat until after they're finished with their mission)

@Dr. Snark, how good is Ciaran at pulling off a Sith accent?

I don't really think that would work. I mean you could maybe do some embezzling but that's also heavily reliant on information only Wat himself would know and he's not exactly going to talk. The dude was fully willing to die in canon for the sake of the Separatist movement after all.
Yeah, I'm going to need some context before I answer this.

A British accent, but kinda drawling and accented in a specific way. Take here, for example, Palpatine's voice. A normal British, clear and ordinary. Compare it to Sidious' voice, more dragged out and with slightly unusual pronunciation ("clumsy", "you know", and "failure" as the biggest examples), definitely different from how Palpatine speaks.
Also, look at the similarity of how Sidious and Vader say "complete". It's a specific way they pronounce that word, in a way that Palpatine and especially Anakin wouldn't pronounce it.

Technically 'Sith' is a language, and between the line of Baneite Sith and his own efforts Palpatine did have access to Sith-language holocrons and other artifacts, which he might have shared with Vader. So... yeah, at least going by 'Legends' it makes sense for Sidious and Vader to have a slight 'accent' even when speaking Basic.

At one point wanted to ask about Republic, but it' might cause more problems then benefits, so I consider actions similar to @Killerflood .
Yes, Dooku might find out, but not immediately (about few days at worst, more in better events), and let's not forget that we will allow Asajj to kill him, so I'm not too concerned about that.
So (poorly thought-out script/)scenario:

So (poorly thought-out script/)scenario:
Eternal City escapees using Wat as leverage AND without killing him, manage to get some benefits, they return Wat after 2, maybe 3 days
he contacts some CIS leaders, both military and some civilian (excluding Dooku and few others) to inform them about 3rd-party shadow influence in CIS: some semi-concrete leads that will make them paranoid and consider previously unusual alternatives.
They don't have to know about Palps, but that CIS is controlled from outside, with end goal being its destruction? That might cause
enough questioning and internal worry to decrease Dookus and Palps immediate influence.

-[X] No. Dooku would probably pick them up and the consequences of that would be very bad.

"Are you an angel?" - Anakin Skywalker
A stupid line from the Phantom Menace, but a canon one. Specifically, it's referring to a species called Angels that we actually see in The Clone Wars.
They live on the moons of a planet called Iego. It's a well-known planet, seeing as how even some slave kid in the ass-end of the galaxy has heard of them. Their planet was even taken over by Separatists at some point.
I think we should set up a base on their home. Their beauty, kindness auras (not sure if literal or not), and love of peace would make them excellent employees of the Silver Cross. We should expect a boost to all Silver Cross income just by having these people in our organisation. They'd make a great face for the organisation and could much more easily pry credits from the cold, merciless hearts of the wealthy than most others. They're fascinated by spacecraft so we can probably make some money there and we can also probably take advantage of their hypnotic abilities. Were we to ever get non-human genemods, Angel genes would be very useful to us.
There's more to Iego than the Angels, however. It was a smuggling route back in the days of the Old Republic, it's home to a ship graveyard, and it has built-in defences from the time when the Seperatists tried to make it a holdout. There's also a potential hero unit we can recruit: Jaybo Hood, a ten year old prodigy. He created a "macro protocol" to wipe the programming of all the Seperatists droids on the planet and reprogrammed them to be his servants. (He had Battle Droids and Vulture Droids at least. Not sure about other types.) Granted, we have Cheriss who has the same specialty and is better, but the kid has potential and would make a good apprentice.
Iego and its moons have suffered from war so we could probably make Silver Cross income if we were to help and rebuild.

Actually mate reading about it I don't think the planet or it's inhabitants are that famous Anakin for instance didn't know about the Diathim he just heard from spacers that angels were super pretty so compared Padme to them.
To clarify the idea of space angels as benevolent, kind and beautiful beings seems to have seeped into the galactic consciousness over time so the species itself is well known to an extent, but the planet where they originate doesn't seem to be well known in and of itself. It certainly wasn't famous enough for the Anakin or Obi Wan (well travelled and educated Jedi) to go "Oh Lego that place where the Angels come from" when they went to get the herbs for the Blue Virus (yes I know they live on the moons, Millus Prime specifically, but still)
I hope we can end up going there, Jaybo alone would be a useful asset...
Can't remember if it was a fanfic where he was force sensitive too...
That reminds me do we have the schematics for the IG-86 droids?

Wiki doesn't say he's force sensitive.
Yes, as of this turn.

Not yet. The IG-line blueprints are currently owned by Phlut Design Systems, a company not associated with the Techno Union.
Edit: ...Well okay, let me clarify because I forgot something; the only reason you don't have it yet is because I haven't posted the back half of the turn results since that investment was voted in this turn. You will have it by the beginning of the next turn.

Add that to bucket list.
mmm probably best to hand the designs over to HK and Cheriss so they can turn them into proper assassin droids.
That way HK can't complain about plagiarism and we get more assassin droids
.@Dr. Snark
For context how much better are the upgraded droids?
For instance could our upgraded B1s win a fight with a clone trooper without outnumbering them 3 to 1?
