Per a skim of the Wookiepedia article, it looks like Thyferra is technically aligned with the Separatists, but bacta production is controlled by two companies with ties to the Republic. Xucphra Corporation appears to be the 'blatantly evil' of the two, and in canon is the quickest to jump to Emperor Palpatine's tune once the war ends. (They also have terrible PR, having been publicly 'outed' as one of the instigators of the Stark Hyperspace War a generation before). The other one - Zaltin Corporation - is notably less evil, more sympathetic with the native population and more willing to work against Palpatine. It also sounds as though Zaltin joined the post-war 'Bacta Cartel' out of necessity, to ensure that Xucphra didn't have single-handed control of the entire galaxy's bacta supply.
So we might be able to reach out to Zaltin, sabotage Xucphra (perhaps by persuading the native Vratix population to rebel), and engineer things so that when the dust settles, whoever controls the planet is willing to formally enter the CNS?
Or, Dr. Snark treats as just another system for potential auto-recruitment, if only because (despite their formal alignment with the CIS and their informal ties to the Republic high command) Thyferra has and continues to sell bacta to both sides of the war. If any system qualifies as being de facto neutral, Thyferra would be one.

Out of the Frying Pan
Gulan Terrek was excited. It wasn't often he got excited. When you had been in the intrigue business as long as he had, especially when years of that experience was with the juggernaut of success that was Ciaran, very little existed in the galaxy that could surprise you. But this report was beyond even his wildest dreams. He didn't even care that the source was getting suspicious and believed he was being spied on. The info was that juicy.
He entered Ciaran's office without even bothering to knock. PR-1 tried to chase after him, but protocol droids weren't exactly built for speed. Ciaran looked up from her work and noticed the large smile on his face. "So what's the good news, Gulan?"
"Talesan Fry." said Gulan, setting the report on Ciaran's desk. The leader of the Abyss Watchers picked it up and skimmed the report. Gulan enjoyed seeing her eyes widen as she realized what Talesan Fry was up to, and the smile that spread across her face as she saw the possibilities.
"I want this." said Ciaran. It went without saying that Ciaran got what Ciaran wanted. She continued reading the report, and frowned. "What's this about being suspected as a spy? Is this information compromised?"
"No. Apparently Talesan Fry is paranoid that someone is going to try and steal his tech. Rightfully so, but our guys are better than that." bragged Gulan. "Pretty much everyone is suspected of being a spy over there at the moment. We're not sure who, but I'd bet there's someone else trying to get in on this."
"We'll have to beat them to the punch then." said Ciaran, putting her hand to her chin and leaning back in her chair to bandy ideas around in her head. "Do we know who he plans to sell to?"
"If what Fry said hasn't changed, he's officially selling to the highest bidder. Given their differing economic strengths, I'd say the Separatists are going to wind up with it." said Gulan, watching Ciaran's face twist with frustration. The last thing they needed was their enemies getting ahold of Talesan Fry's technology. "But rumor around the upper echelons of Fry Industries is that the Jedi saved his life as a kid, and he's going to give the Republic the first offer."
"Sound like the Republic has this code breaker then. As incompetent as they can be, at the end of the day they're not moronic enough to pass up on this." said Ciaran. "So what's our way in on this?"
"Genian is a neutral system, but at the moment it's unaffiliated with the CNS. Perhaps esteemed diplomat Lady Ciaran could bring them into the fold?" said Gulan. Ciaran could see the potential there. If the planet Fry's business was located on joined the CNS, Ciaran might be able to get the Genian government to lean on him a bit, coupled with some bribery and an appeal to morality of her own, to keep the code breaker out of warmongering hands.
"Well it's a longshot, but this is the kind of thing we can't ignore. I'll put Silas right on it." said Ciaran, turning back to her work.
"About that Ma'am… I have a feeling you might want to attend this personally." said Gulan. Ciaran rarely got angry, but it always felt awkward interrupting his boss. "The Republic is sending Senator Amidala to negotiate the sale of the code breaker, and they know the importance of the situation. Obi-wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Siri Tachi have been assigned to guard both her and Fry during the negotiations. Apparently it was a personal request by Fry."
Ciaran's head shot up, and the grin that spread across her face made Gulan somewhat uncomfortable. The fact that she started laughing maniacally didn't reassure him. "You should have lead with that Gulan. I wouldn't miss this for the world."
XXX
If there was one thing about his current situation Obi-wan was happy with, it was that Lady Ciaran hadn't snuck her way aboard the starship. Things had been awkward enough between him and Siri already. Especially with the nostalgia of a mission involving Taly reigniting some long buried feelings. Just proximity and familiarity were good enough at prodding him along, they didn't need Ciaran's help.
Anakin and Padme taking such joy in each other's company didn't help either. He could have reminded Anakin of the duties he bore as a Jedi Knight, but Obi-wan still thought of Anakin as his padawan in some ways, and couldn't find it in himself to begrudge the boy's happiness in the midst of such a depressing war. Besides, Obi-wan trusted Anakin with his life. It was only fair to trust to trust the Jedi Knight with his own.
"It'll be weird seeing Taly after all this time." said Siri as Obi-wan came to take his turn flying their ship. There had been a tension between them certainly, but Obi-wan wasn't about to turn away company during the boring task of making sure they didn't crash horribly. "Part of me still expects the same little kid we met all those years ago."
"I feel much the same." agreed Obi-wan, before memories struck him and he grew melancholic. "But then again, much has changed."
Siri was sharp enough to catch the subtle change in topic. "Yes, I… I suppose it has." An awkward silence settled over the two Jedi.
"Well, we should be arriving shortly." said Obi-wan, desperate to break the silence. The rest of the short trip was filled with meaningless small talk, and the Jedi were joined by Anakin and Padme as the ship touched down.
"So, are we going to meet your child genius, Master?" asked Anakin.
"Indeed, though I suspect he's grown since last I've seen him. Time stops for no man after all." Said Obi-wan as the ramp lowered. Exiting the ship, Obi-wan saw the welcoming party on the landing pad. Taly stood with a smile on his face and two bodyguards flanking him. Obi-wan supposed that was the reality of being a successful tech mogul. Then his eyes drifted to the figure on Taly's right, wearing an even bigger smile than the man Obi-wan had saved as a child.
"Obi-wan, what a surprise! Fancy meeting you here!" said Lady Ciaran as she approached and gave him with an overly friendly hug. "I understand you not wanting to invite a single woman like me on your double date, but you could at least tell me."
"Of course." muttered Obi-wan. Ciaran was smart enough to recognize it as frustration, but instead chose to take it as him agreeing to her demands going forward. This mission just kept getting better and better.
AN: @Publicola, this one's for you. Who knows what the future holds for Talesan Fry? Hero unit, advisor unit, ally who makes us kickass spy tech, or annoyance for @Dr. Snark to retcon out of existence in a futile effort to preserve game balance? Only the future will tell.

Roses are Red, the Jedi Tell Lies
"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?" asked Sheev Palpatine as he continued looking at the show before him rather than turn to his future apprentice. It was imperative to maintain a certain aloof attitude when approaching such a sensitive topic.
Anakin slowly turned his head to the Chancellor. "No." he replied simply.
"I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you." said Palpatine. Before he continue recounting the tale, preying on Anakin's fears to seduce him to the Dark Side, he was interrupted by a most unwelcome guest.
"You wouldn't want them to, the Jedi are notoriously terrible storytellers." said Lady Ciaran, walking between them and taking a seat on Anakin's other side. "I never took you for a fan of Mon Calamari ballet Anakin. I suppose we learn something new each day."
"I'm actually here because I was invited by the Chancellor." explained Anakin, gesturing to Palpatine. The Chancellor was too busy to notice. His guards should have kept everyone out, including her. And even if she had snuck by them or some such thing, he should have sensed her through the Force. How was this possible?
"Ah, hello Sheev. I didn't see you in the dark there." greeted Ciaran amicably. "Taking it upon yourself to teach this Jedi Knight some fine culture? I suppose your taste is good, if nothing else."
If they weren't in full view in the balcony, Palpatine would have whipped out his lightsaber and cut her in half, repercussions be damned. "Yes, though the opening act is always a bore. We were simply enjoying a private conversation." said Palpatine, making it very clear that Lady Ciaran was not welcome.
Anakin, bless his naïve little heart, didn't pick up on the animosity. "Apparently the Chancellor is a scholar of similar pursuits. He was just telling me about Darth Plagueis the Wise. Have you ever heard of him?"
"Ah yes, Darth Plagueis." said Ciaran knowingly. By the Force, he wanted so dearly to scorch her smug little face off with lightning. "I never will understand the obsession the Sith seem to have with making all their legends Tragedies. Some I've found play out more like comedies, though I suppose it was a tragedy for that Sith Lord." Ciaran laughed at her own joke, and Palpatine forced a smile. The end result was him looking like he was about to throw up, but neither Ciaran nor Anakin commented on it.
"I suppose the Comedy of Darth Slaughten the Merciless doesn't have the same ring to it." Said Anakin, smiling coyly at his own joke. Palpatine had to crush the urge to commit murder for mocking the Sith tradition of the Tragedy, but Ciaran laughed along, quietly enough not to disrupt the show but loud enough to give Anakin the satisfaction.
"I suppose that's true." admitted Ciaran. "Though it's certainly apt for the Comedy of Darth Sidious the Foolish." Palpatine stopped functioning for a second, and his grip on his hidden lightsaber tightened. Ciaran continued on. "Darth Sidious was a Dark Lord of the Sith, but his fascination was the same as his Master, the Force. It's a noble pursuit to seek the stars, but Darth Sidious never remembered to look at his feet. Whenever he tripped, he continued on heedlessly, thinking the Force made him above everything else."
"What happened to him?" Anakin was obviously taken in by the story, and even Palpatine had to admit it was well told, describing the general actions of Darth Sidious while still leaving the specifics of his actions shrouded in mystery. Even if it took the willpower he had mastered over the course of decades to stop himself from reacting.
"Well Darth Sidious the Foolish was exactly that. Had he looked down once in a while, he would have noticed the swamp he had inadvertently walked into. In the end, he wasn't killed as a Sith Lord by some grand Jedi Master. But rather a simple man with a blaster he had wronged on a day he couldn't even remember." said Ciaran, winding down from her story. "I believe it to be a good cautionary tale. A lesson not to focus too much on grand plans at the expense of the now. One must study the Force, but never at the cost of the physical galaxy. Wouldn't you agree, Sheev?"
Palpatine was snapped back to reality by the question. He had been frantically searching his memories, trying desperately to recall if he had ever directly ruined someone's life and let them live. Mother Talzin perhaps? But no, she'd never use a blaster. Unless she had conspired with Ciaran to kill him with a blaster. She'd have abandoned dignity to see his corpse. Or maybe it was someone so insignificant he truly had forgotten. Or maybe Ciaran was trying to mess with him, make him doubt his own abilities.
Yes, that was most likely it. Miralukans were naturally gifted with Force sight, but foresight was a different gift entirely. He would have no doubt heard about it if Lady Ciaran were able to see the future in any detail. Palpatine became aware of the stares from his company, still waiting for him to answer the question Ciaran had asked.
"Of course. Darth Sidious sounds like a fool indeed. We should learn from his mistakes. Alas, I've wasted all my free time. Perhaps we could continue this conversation later. In the meantime, I have a Republic to administrate." said Palpatine, hurriedly excusing himself and exiting the balcony.
"A shame." said Ciaran halfheartedly as she watched him leave with a smile on her face. Once he was gone entirely, she turned back to the giant orb of water floating in the middle of the room. "Oh, I love this part. Watch closely Anakin, I'll instill some appreciation of Mon Calamari dance before the night is done."
AN: TFW you doublepost omakes...
An omake born of too much time on r/prequelmemes and the idea of Ciaran shit talking a helpless Palpatine right in front of him. It's meant as a sort of taunt as Ciaran's people orchestrate Palpatine's downfall. He'd go back to his office and find a very angry Jedi Council or something. She's tipping her hand because she's already won, and it's too fun not to. As for her prediction, it's meant to make Palpatine paranoid in the wrong direction.

As a new member to SV, one thing that I've got to question is what exactly happened to Darra. At the end of the old thread she was missing following a nat 100, but this one went straight to Mandalore and operation Skyfall and never looked back as far as I can tell. From the info sheets at the front I know she was recovered and had a falling out, but for the life of me I can't find that section of the quest. Did I just miss something?
And many thanks to @Dr. Snark for continuing this quest. It's been a real pleasure to follow.

Welcome to SV! It was mentioned by @Teron in the posts after the last update in that thread: Darra ran off to the Jedi to tattle on us when she found out we were dealing with Hutts. After she told the Council, she collapsed since her cybernetics started failing and refuses to come in to get them repaired. She thinks we are a terrifying crime-lord. That's why the Council sent Anakin to talk to us at Mandalore.

(Omake) Briefing the Boss (Northern Outer Rim) (Canon Infodump)
A/N: Warning -- this is very long.
Briefing the Boss, Pt. 1: Northern Outer Rim
Var Zheen had barely closed the door before Ciaran slumped in her chair. "What was that? Var Zheen barely acknowledges the Techno Union as a rival, but now this new doodad by some 'Fry' nobody has him practically salivating over the specs." Ciaran glanced, briefly, as the data packet Var Zheen had left, before shaking her head. "No. Life's too short, and I refuse to waste away in this office looking over technical read-outs. PR-1, what's my 1 o'clock?"
"Pardon, Mistress, but I am."
"You?"
"Indeed."
"But... you're almost always working beside me in some capacity. Why'd you need to reserve an hour for it?"
"Pardon, Mistress, but I reserved four hours."
"Four?"
"Indeed."
"Oh. ...sithspit."
"Yes, it's time to once again attempt to explain to you the sectors of the northern Outer Rim."
"Paperwork. What joy."
"Indeed, but important paperwork, Mistress."
"Why? Why do I need to know about the thousand separate agriworlds that inhabit some po-dunk sector in between the galactic rings?"
"No, Mistress, you wouldn't. If, however, there were a single agriworld that fed a thousand separate systems, I would judge that worthy of your attention."
"...wait, that's a thing? Or are you just making --"
"I can name three in the immediate vicinity of Neutral Space."
"Huh."
"Indeed. Likewise, you may not care to be told about every single mining colony in the Outer Rim, but if there's a system that's the only known source of a metal required for the construction of durasteel, yes, I will point it out. I have also consulted with Tyro, Thrawn, and Mr. Cata, to gain a better notion of what systems you would consider to be 'of interest' to the Abyss Watchers. But yes, it is time to read some briefing papers. First things first, though: a map."
"The great difficulty, in describing the Outer Rim, is that the sizes and boundaries of various sectors are quite a bit slapdash. The Outer Rim itself has little rhyme or reason -- at one point it is a short trip on sublight engines removed from the Inner Rim, while at others it may require several weeks at hyperspeed to reach the furthest systems on the edge of the galaxy. That's not to mention that fact that the whole galaxy is in fact three-dimensional, and while I'm projecting it in two, the actual sector borders in three dimensions... well, let me show you."
"Ah."
"Indeed. A bit more complicated than your organic brain would be able to handle. Far better to keep to two dimensions -- there. As you can see, I've marked our Council of Neutral Systems space in purple -- both the smaller region around Muunilist, and the main space around Mandalore and Taris. I've organized the sectors around CNS Space into eight regions, usually based on the major hyperlanes leading away from or around our territory. The first of these regions follows the Braxant Run hyperlane away from our western system of Er'Kit. I also included a few systems in nearby Wild Space, as they really ought to be reclassified as part of the civilized galaxy."
"...Now that you've given it a once-over, a few items of particular note. The Fest system invented and produces phrik, a practically indestructible alloy that's even lightsaber-proof. Its neighbor Generis has an entire polar cap comprised of hiridiu crystals -- a properly constructed array of those can massively increase a communications signal, which might come in handy for a inhibitor chip control module if we go ahead with that. Garqi is a fairly inhospitable agriworld that took such effort to cultivate, they know more about agri-technology than anyone besides the Ithorians, so they'd be a helpful resource if we ever want to restore a devastated ecosystem. Ord Cantrell is an exclusive resort world that caters to the Coruscanti elite -- more galaxy-shaping decisions are made there each day than anywhere besides the Senate Chamber itself. Prefsbelt IV is the classified-but-everyone-knows-where-it-is site of the premier Republic Naval Academy in the galaxy. Finally, Aeten II in Wild Space is the only remaining source of stygium crystals in the galaxy, and everyone wants their hands on it -- if you can claim it for the CNS, both sides will be forced to the bargaining table to secure a supply."
"Just... give me a moment."
"Yes Mistress. ... Now, when you're ready, we'll proceed to the second region: the systems and sectors that surround our new holdings in Muunilist."
"...As you may note, we already have influence over many of the key planets in this region. Muunilist is the headquarters of the IGBC, Mygeeto is perhaps the single wealthiest system outside the Core Worlds, and Dantooine has a more storied history with the Jedi Order than any planet outside Typhon or Ossus. However, you should note that Scipio -- the site of the IGBC main vaults -- has not yet joined with the other Banking Clans in joining the CNS, and those vaults could prove critical to the IGBC's stability. In addition, that that both the Republic and the CIS operate some of their largest shipyards in this area -- Kemla and Yaga Minor in Region #1 for the Republic, and Gwori and Jaemus here in Region #2 for the CIS. If we can expand our influence over these areas and claim those systems, we would seriously undermine the ability of both sides to recover from naval losses in this war."
"Huh. It doesn't matter if Kamino keeps supplying clone troopers and Neimoidia keeps building battle droids, if neither side has enough capital ships to ferry those armies around from system to system."
"Indeed. ... Now then, if you'll turn your attention to the third region, which follows the Veragi Trade Route from Dubrillon down to CNS Space around Dathomir."
"As you can tell, despite covering a good deal more space in absolute terms, there are fewer sectors and fewer notable systems here than the last two regions. The Veragi Trade Route is quite far from the galactic Core, and includes much of the empty space beyond the Tingel Arm. Besides our asteroid base outside Bimmiel, or that Force sect we'd like to contact on Revyia, the most immediate concern in this area is probably the Ciutric Hegemony directly north of Neutral Space. It's a fairly loose confederacy of worlds whose allegiance to the CIS is questionable at best, but I've studied the governance structure, and a strong leader would have few checks and balances if he wished to make the Hegemony into a plaything. Unfortunately, the most notable political figure from the region is Sate Pestage, Chancellor Palpatine's personal secretary and advisor. We may need to sway the Hegemony to join the CNS, if only to remove the region from play for Palpatine's manipulations."
"Point well taken, PR-1. Please make a note for the Integration Bureau to fast-track any applications from that system, and remind me to check back in case it needs our personal attention. Was there anything else I ought to note?"
"Yes, Mistress. I hate to -- how did you put it that one time? Right -- 'dangle the shiny', but if you'd turn your attention to the Gree Enclave? Yes. They've been in a state of technological decline for some thousands of years, but if you consider how high they were before they started declining... well, they have a whole system of hypergates, and a few are even still functioning. Not to mention the fact that, by most accounts, the Gree still possess a literal, functioning Garden of Youth that keeps their aging population alive. Unfortunately, the Gree are rather viciously xenophobic, which encompasses every other species in the galaxy. You'd need to receive specific permission from the Administrator caste just to enter the enclave, and traveling to one of the key worlds is unheard of. Also, even with access, reverse-engineering their technology would be a challenge, as each item is customized for Gree use only and requires six tentacles to operate."
"...Damn."
"Indeed. Shall I continue?"
"By all means."
"Then we proceed to the fourth region, which covers the immense space between the Veragi Trade Route and the Hydian Way. There's really very little here, as though it were the galaxy's own arctic circle, so I've taken to calling it the 'Great White North'.
"...As this is the vector you'll be taking for the assault on Wesker's main base, I must urge caution due to the number of pirate gangs operating in the area. Thalassian slavers are almost as notorious as Trandoshans and Zygerrians, and both of those are known to prey upon much more heavily populated systems in the Mid Rim and Corporate Sector. Likewise, the Cavrilhu Pirates have lasted several hundred years without the excuse of having a single system or species to call their own. Worse, I've heard rumors that they've had some success in fighting or even capturing Jedi, though I cannot confirm such rumors."
"...Well. Thank you for the word of warning, at least."
"At your service, Mistress. Now, the next region for your consideration is far more straightforward, and covers the final leg of the Hydian Way super-hyperlane, from Feriae Junction to the end of the Corporate Sector."
"...The obvious 'jewel' of this region is the Corporate Sector. I've highlighted Etti IV as the administrative center of the sector -- where Etti leads, the rest will follow. However, any of the others would be worth a closer look -- practically every system has something notable about it, and each planet seems to be the headquarters for some new galaxy-wide corporation. As for systems outside the Corporate Sector... well, you've already heard why Telos IV is important, but there are two minor systems that deserve special mention. Both planets specialize in medicine -- Carosi XII of a more general sort, while Lur specializes in genetics and bio-engineering. I checked our Karada records, and noticed that a surprising number of both species are employed at our research-complex. The Arkanians even consulted with some of the Lurrians while researching near-human genemods. Our refugee and humanitarian efforts have also been assisted on several occasions by the Carosite hospital-ship Sudden Restoration. I doubt it would take much to recruit either systems for the CNS."
"...Fascinating. Would you again make a note for the Integration Bureau?"
"Already done, Mistress. Any further questions?"
"None."
"Then we proceed to the sixth region on our map, which covers the region between the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route. Given their effect on the whole region's history, and their imposing position as far as geography, I've taken to labeling this the 'Sith Worlds' region.
"Huh."
"Indeed, Mistress."
"This... this is..."
"Yes, I know, Mistress."
"What is this even?"
"I'm not entirely sure, Mistress, but when no less than three era-defining Sith Lords decide to make a remote jungle planet their personal stronghold, I'm inclined to take reports of a major Force nexus seriously."
"As am I. Not to mention the records you've compiled indicating that when the Jedi defeated the most recent Sith Lord, their attack devastated the planet's ecosystem, leaving it a burnt radioactive shell, even though it's clearly back to being a thriving jungle planet, and -- I can't even?"
"Indeed, Mistress. Yavin IV is quite an oddity. Shall we move on?"
"Let's."
"I'd draw your attention to another system in the Gordian Reach: namely, Jovan III. Besides being one of the three agriworlds I mentioned at the beginning -- it feeds the entire Gordian Reach -- it also boasts one of the largest starports outside the Core Worlds, a single station with eight docking ports for capital ships and hundreds for smaller cruisers and one-man starfighters."
"But that's practically the size of Sluis Van Shipyards!"
"Indeed, Mistress."
"But... how is this not more widely known?"
"It's simple, really: Sluis Van is a close-knit neighbor of Sullust, and services most of the southern Outer Rim, while Jovan has no neighbors of galactic importance, and services only a single, large but quite isolated sector."
"Oh."
"Now may we move on?"
"Certainly."
"The two Sith Worlds of particular note are Korriban and Dromund Kass. Korriban, as you know, was the homeworld of the Sith, both the pureblood race and the Force sect. It still is known as a dark-side vergence, and is rumored to contain many artifacts from the original Sith Academy and Temple -- though you'd have to be either brave or immensely foolish to risk a visit. Dromund Kass might actually be more interesting, however. It was the former capital of the Sith Empire, and in that capacity maintained an embassy with the Mandalorian Crusaders. It's entirely possible that sending our Discovery Corps might turn up artifacts not only related to the Sith, but also related to Mandalorian history."
"...I expect I don't have to tell you to please make a note of it?"
"No indeed, Mistress. Already done."
"Then we move on to the next region?"
"At your command. The seventh region on your map covers the northern end of the Perlemian Trade Route. For the sake of completion, I'd also included a few sectors on the Salin Corridor, and the hyperlane-spur called Overic Griplink that leads to the Mon Calamari sector.
"...You're already aware of the importance of Lucazec, home of the Fallanassi Force sect, and you've already had some experience with the Tsils of Nam Chorios. The next point of interest is Columex, in the Vorzyd sector. It turns out that, during the build-up for the war, some of the larger trade worlds along the Perlemian Trade Route were feeling disenfranchised by how little attention the Republic paid to them relative to the larger trade and industrial worlds of the Inner and Mid Rims, let alone the Core and Colonies. Much like the Ciutric Hegemony north of us, these systems allied in a loose confederacy which they called the Commonality, and which is administered out of Columex. While the Commonality was almost immediately overshadowed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems when they joined, the formal governance structure is still present, and swaying Columex to the CNS would bring over many of its Commonality neighbors as well."
"...Thank you, PR-1."
"I shall put it on the list, then?"
"You know me too well."
"Indeed I do, Mistress. Shall we proceed? Well, then, the most important Force site on the list is Ossus, site of the original and still preserved Great Jedi Library. However, I understood you to be aware of Ossus, which is why I think you'll find its neighbor Murkhana to be far more interesting. Murkaha is the headquarters of the Corporate Alliance, that sits on the Separatist Council. However, the main function of the Corporate Alliance was to establish and operate the CIS Shadowfeed, which serves as a universal HoloNet for all Separatist systems and their neighbors. Recruit Murkhana, seize the Shadowfeed, and you'll take over almost the entire communications network for the whole of the Outer Rim -- north, south, galactic east, Separatist, Hutt, all of it. I do not advise you in military matters, but I do not require OOM-9's tactical upgrade to understand that this is quite possibly the single biggest strategic priority we may have in the fight against Palpatine. If he does seize power, a separate HoloNet infrastructure would enable us to get our message out to friendly systems around the galaxy, to fight the inevitable propaganda machine run out of Coruscant. Owning the Shadowfeed would establish the Council of Neutral Systems as separate and truly distinct from the Republic, if or when that becomes necessary."
"...I think I understand why you set aside so much time to go over this, PR-1."
"Indeed, Mistress, I thought you would. As for the rest: I've highlighted Liana due to our existing ties with Sienar Fleet Systems. Raxus Secundus is the official capital system of the whole CIS, though many delegates are finding themselves powerless in the fact of the corporate leaders on the Separatist Council, and a direct appeal to the Separatist Parliament would go a long way to recruiting many to join Neutral Space. Felucia is owned by the Commerce Guild, and while Shu Mai has treated it as her own personal plaything, our plan to oust and replace her as head of the Commerce Guild would bring Felucia into our camp. Finally, I would bring to your attention the planet Dac, also called Calamari or Mon Cala, which boasts one of the best shipyards for capital-ship construction in the galaxy. They're not as large an operation as Kuat or Sluis Van, but pit any Dac capital ship against any other design, and the Dac would come out on top. Despite their distance from the Core, the system is as loyal to the Republic and as friendly to the Jedi as anywhere you'll find, but if you can prove to their satisfaction that Palpatine is a Sith traitor, they would certainly be willing to join the CNS."
"...Very good to know. Is that all for the Perlemian?"
"Indeed, Mistress. The eighth and final region we shall cover extends from the Ash Worlds to the border of Hutt Space."
"...The first system of particular interest is Lothal -- known as the site of an abandoned Jedi Temple, but more significant as one of the few remaining veins of pure kyber crystal in the galaxy. For our business interest, I would point out that Toong'L is an IGBC client world, and therefore likely to follow the Banking Clans' lead in becoming Neutral, despite their location on the far side of Separatist space. On the other hand, we do not have friendly relations with the Techno Union, so I would expect it would be quite a long while before Saleucami ever considered joining Neutral Space despite the obvious benefits of neutrality for a major trade hub. For other political considerations, I would draw your attention to Eril'nar, capital of Centrality, which -- unlike the loose confederacy of the Ciutric Hegemony or Commonality -- is quite a bit more organized and self-governing, thanks largely to its historic and geographic isolation. Making a note of it now, Mistress."
"You read my mind."
"No, only your microexpressions."
Ciaran shot him a look.
"Fair enough. Finally, I would remind you of something I mentioned when this briefing began -- that if there were a world that was the only supplier of a metal required for durasteel, I would point it out?"
"Yes?"
"I wasn't lying. Af'El is that system -- while meleenium is only used in trace amounts, its use is required for durasteel construction and Af'El is the only source of that metal in the galaxy. I understand that technically it is possible to manufacture synthetic meleenium in a lab, but the costs are apparently prohibitive and the quality is significantly lower than pure meleenium found on Af'El. Like most of its neighbors, the planet was once controlled by the Black Sun, but ever since Operation Absolute Eclipse, there's been low-level posturing by the Techno Union, the Hutts, and others over who would end up with control of the system. I suggest we make a play for control of the system ourselves. Between Af'El and Toong'L, I believe we would have enough of a foothold near Hutt Space to sway many other systems between there and here, solidifying our control of the galactic northeast."
"Well, make another note of it, but unless I'm mistaken, that's all the briefing material you've prepared for me today?"
"Indeed, Mistress, though I made sure to reserve extra time in case you wished to ask any questions."
Ciaran peered more intently at the papers in front of her. "Oh, I can think of --"
BANG. The door abruptly swung open as Gulan Terrek hurried into the room.
"No! Not now, the Lady Ciaran is quite busy as you can see!" PR-1 tried to hurry him out of the room.
Ciaran, however, noticed the large smile on his face. "So what's the good news, Gulan?"
"Talesan Fry." said Gulan, setting the report on Ciaran's desk.
Wait, isn't that the same 'Fry' that Var Zheen was in a tizzy about? Ciaran quickly picked it and skimmed the report. ...Oh.
A smile began to spread across her face.
"I want this."
<><><><><><><>
A/N: I was already halfway through writing this when @Panory posted his 'Out of the Frying Pan' omake. I immediately decided to try to tie the two scenes together -- if only to increase the odds of Talesan Fry making an appearance in this quest, but also because I liked the idea of having our Learning Advisor try (and fail) to explain the device's significance, only for Ciaran to immediately grasp its importance from our Intrigue Advisor. (Learning is our dump stat, y'all...).
In case you're wondering 'Why???', well...
1) Why did I scour Wookiepedia for all this? Because I'm a nerd, because I had free time, and because finding points of interest (and potential systems to recruit) was one way to contribute to the awesomeness that is this quest. (For the record: I haven't even touched the CNS-neighboring sectors in the Mid Rim and Expansion Regions. Assuming my free time stays free, that's my next project.
2) Why did I write it up as an omake? Because most people don't read data-dumps, and framing it as a story would (ever-so-slightly) help. Also because I wanted to pull out specific items to emphasize, which works better if there's a clear difference between the 'briefing paper' and PR-1's oral report. Finally, because @Dr. Snark has been threadmarking any and all posted omakes, so this way the info-post will stay linked and accessible and won't be lost to the hundreds of pages of posts as this quest continues its juggernaut of excellence.
Briefing the Boss, Pt. 1: Northern Outer Rim
Var Zheen had barely closed the door before Ciaran slumped in her chair. "What was that? Var Zheen barely acknowledges the Techno Union as a rival, but now this new doodad by some 'Fry' nobody has him practically salivating over the specs." Ciaran glanced, briefly, as the data packet Var Zheen had left, before shaking her head. "No. Life's too short, and I refuse to waste away in this office looking over technical read-outs. PR-1, what's my 1 o'clock?"
"Pardon, Mistress, but I am."
"You?"
"Indeed."
"But... you're almost always working beside me in some capacity. Why'd you need to reserve an hour for it?"
"Pardon, Mistress, but I reserved four hours."
"Four?"
"Indeed."
"Oh. ...sithspit."
"Yes, it's time to once again attempt to explain to you the sectors of the northern Outer Rim."
"Paperwork. What joy."
"Indeed, but important paperwork, Mistress."
"Why? Why do I need to know about the thousand separate agriworlds that inhabit some po-dunk sector in between the galactic rings?"
"No, Mistress, you wouldn't. If, however, there were a single agriworld that fed a thousand separate systems, I would judge that worthy of your attention."
"...wait, that's a thing? Or are you just making --"
"I can name three in the immediate vicinity of Neutral Space."
"Huh."
"Indeed. Likewise, you may not care to be told about every single mining colony in the Outer Rim, but if there's a system that's the only known source of a metal required for the construction of durasteel, yes, I will point it out. I have also consulted with Tyro, Thrawn, and Mr. Cata, to gain a better notion of what systems you would consider to be 'of interest' to the Abyss Watchers. But yes, it is time to read some briefing papers. First things first, though: a map."
"The great difficulty, in describing the Outer Rim, is that the sizes and boundaries of various sectors are quite a bit slapdash. The Outer Rim itself has little rhyme or reason -- at one point it is a short trip on sublight engines removed from the Inner Rim, while at others it may require several weeks at hyperspeed to reach the furthest systems on the edge of the galaxy. That's not to mention that fact that the whole galaxy is in fact three-dimensional, and while I'm projecting it in two, the actual sector borders in three dimensions... well, let me show you."
"Ah."
"Indeed. A bit more complicated than your organic brain would be able to handle. Far better to keep to two dimensions -- there. As you can see, I've marked our Council of Neutral Systems space in purple -- both the smaller region around Muunilist, and the main space around Mandalore and Taris. I've organized the sectors around CNS Space into eight regions, usually based on the major hyperlanes leading away from or around our territory. The first of these regions follows the Braxant Run hyperlane away from our western system of Er'Kit. I also included a few systems in nearby Wild Space, as they really ought to be reclassified as part of the civilized galaxy."

"...Now that you've given it a once-over, a few items of particular note. The Fest system invented and produces phrik, a practically indestructible alloy that's even lightsaber-proof. Its neighbor Generis has an entire polar cap comprised of hiridiu crystals -- a properly constructed array of those can massively increase a communications signal, which might come in handy for a inhibitor chip control module if we go ahead with that. Garqi is a fairly inhospitable agriworld that took such effort to cultivate, they know more about agri-technology than anyone besides the Ithorians, so they'd be a helpful resource if we ever want to restore a devastated ecosystem. Ord Cantrell is an exclusive resort world that caters to the Coruscanti elite -- more galaxy-shaping decisions are made there each day than anywhere besides the Senate Chamber itself. Prefsbelt IV is the classified-but-everyone-knows-where-it-is site of the premier Republic Naval Academy in the galaxy. Finally, Aeten II in Wild Space is the only remaining source of stygium crystals in the galaxy, and everyone wants their hands on it -- if you can claim it for the CNS, both sides will be forced to the bargaining table to secure a supply."

"...As you may note, we already have influence over many of the key planets in this region. Muunilist is the headquarters of the IGBC, Mygeeto is perhaps the single wealthiest system outside the Core Worlds, and Dantooine has a more storied history with the Jedi Order than any planet outside Typhon or Ossus. However, you should note that Scipio -- the site of the IGBC main vaults -- has not yet joined with the other Banking Clans in joining the CNS, and those vaults could prove critical to the IGBC's stability. In addition, that that both the Republic and the CIS operate some of their largest shipyards in this area -- Kemla and Yaga Minor in Region #1 for the Republic, and Gwori and Jaemus here in Region #2 for the CIS. If we can expand our influence over these areas and claim those systems, we would seriously undermine the ability of both sides to recover from naval losses in this war."
"Huh. It doesn't matter if Kamino keeps supplying clone troopers and Neimoidia keeps building battle droids, if neither side has enough capital ships to ferry those armies around from system to system."

Corosi sector
"As you can tell, despite covering a good deal more space in absolute terms, there are fewer sectors and fewer notable systems here than the last two regions. The Veragi Trade Route is quite far from the galactic Core, and includes much of the empty space beyond the Tingel Arm. Besides our asteroid base outside Bimmiel, or that Force sect we'd like to contact on Revyia, the most immediate concern in this area is probably the Ciutric Hegemony directly north of Neutral Space. It's a fairly loose confederacy of worlds whose allegiance to the CIS is questionable at best, but I've studied the governance structure, and a strong leader would have few checks and balances if he wished to make the Hegemony into a plaything. Unfortunately, the most notable political figure from the region is Sate Pestage, Chancellor Palpatine's personal secretary and advisor. We may need to sway the Hegemony to join the CNS, if only to remove the region from play for Palpatine's manipulations."
"Point well taken, PR-1. Please make a note for the Integration Bureau to fast-track any applications from that system, and remind me to check back in case it needs our personal attention. Was there anything else I ought to note?"
"Yes, Mistress. I hate to -- how did you put it that one time? Right -- 'dangle the shiny', but if you'd turn your attention to the Gree Enclave? Yes. They've been in a state of technological decline for some thousands of years, but if you consider how high they were before they started declining... well, they have a whole system of hypergates, and a few are even still functioning. Not to mention the fact that, by most accounts, the Gree still possess a literal, functioning Garden of Youth that keeps their aging population alive. Unfortunately, the Gree are rather viciously xenophobic, which encompasses every other species in the galaxy. You'd need to receive specific permission from the Administrator caste just to enter the enclave, and traveling to one of the key worlds is unheard of. Also, even with access, reverse-engineering their technology would be a challenge, as each item is customized for Gree use only and requires six tentacles to operate."
"...Damn."
"Indeed. Shall I continue?"
"By all means."
"Then we proceed to the fourth region, which covers the immense space between the Veragi Trade Route and the Hydian Way. There's really very little here, as though it were the galaxy's own arctic circle, so I've taken to calling it the 'Great White North'.

"...As this is the vector you'll be taking for the assault on Wesker's main base, I must urge caution due to the number of pirate gangs operating in the area. Thalassian slavers are almost as notorious as Trandoshans and Zygerrians, and both of those are known to prey upon much more heavily populated systems in the Mid Rim and Corporate Sector. Likewise, the Cavrilhu Pirates have lasted several hundred years without the excuse of having a single system or species to call their own. Worse, I've heard rumors that they've had some success in fighting or even capturing Jedi, though I cannot confirm such rumors."

"...The obvious 'jewel' of this region is the Corporate Sector. I've highlighted Etti IV as the administrative center of the sector -- where Etti leads, the rest will follow. However, any of the others would be worth a closer look -- practically every system has something notable about it, and each planet seems to be the headquarters for some new galaxy-wide corporation. As for systems outside the Corporate Sector... well, you've already heard why Telos IV is important, but there are two minor systems that deserve special mention. Both planets specialize in medicine -- Carosi XII of a more general sort, while Lur specializes in genetics and bio-engineering. I checked our Karada records, and noticed that a surprising number of both species are employed at our research-complex. The Arkanians even consulted with some of the Lurrians while researching near-human genemods. Our refugee and humanitarian efforts have also been assisted on several occasions by the Carosite hospital-ship Sudden Restoration. I doubt it would take much to recruit either systems for the CNS."
"...Fascinating. Would you again make a note for the Integration Bureau?"
"Already done, Mistress. Any further questions?"
"None."
"Then we proceed to the sixth region on our map, which covers the region between the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route. Given their effect on the whole region's history, and their imposing position as far as geography, I've taken to labeling this the 'Sith Worlds' region.

"Huh."
"Indeed, Mistress."
"This... this is..."
"Yes, I know, Mistress."
"What is this even?"
"I'm not entirely sure, Mistress, but when no less than three era-defining Sith Lords decide to make a remote jungle planet their personal stronghold, I'm inclined to take reports of a major Force nexus seriously."
"As am I. Not to mention the records you've compiled indicating that when the Jedi defeated the most recent Sith Lord, their attack devastated the planet's ecosystem, leaving it a burnt radioactive shell, even though it's clearly back to being a thriving jungle planet, and -- I can't even?"
"Indeed, Mistress. Yavin IV is quite an oddity. Shall we move on?"
"Let's."
"I'd draw your attention to another system in the Gordian Reach: namely, Jovan III. Besides being one of the three agriworlds I mentioned at the beginning -- it feeds the entire Gordian Reach -- it also boasts one of the largest starports outside the Core Worlds, a single station with eight docking ports for capital ships and hundreds for smaller cruisers and one-man starfighters."
"But that's practically the size of Sluis Van Shipyards!"
"Indeed, Mistress."
"But... how is this not more widely known?"
"It's simple, really: Sluis Van is a close-knit neighbor of Sullust, and services most of the southern Outer Rim, while Jovan has no neighbors of galactic importance, and services only a single, large but quite isolated sector."
"Oh."
"Now may we move on?"
"Certainly."
"The two Sith Worlds of particular note are Korriban and Dromund Kass. Korriban, as you know, was the homeworld of the Sith, both the pureblood race and the Force sect. It still is known as a dark-side vergence, and is rumored to contain many artifacts from the original Sith Academy and Temple -- though you'd have to be either brave or immensely foolish to risk a visit. Dromund Kass might actually be more interesting, however. It was the former capital of the Sith Empire, and in that capacity maintained an embassy with the Mandalorian Crusaders. It's entirely possible that sending our Discovery Corps might turn up artifacts not only related to the Sith, but also related to Mandalorian history."
"...I expect I don't have to tell you to please make a note of it?"
"No indeed, Mistress. Already done."
"Then we move on to the next region?"
"At your command. The seventh region on your map covers the northern end of the Perlemian Trade Route. For the sake of completion, I'd also included a few sectors on the Salin Corridor, and the hyperlane-spur called Overic Griplink that leads to the Mon Calamari sector.

"...You're already aware of the importance of Lucazec, home of the Fallanassi Force sect, and you've already had some experience with the Tsils of Nam Chorios. The next point of interest is Columex, in the Vorzyd sector. It turns out that, during the build-up for the war, some of the larger trade worlds along the Perlemian Trade Route were feeling disenfranchised by how little attention the Republic paid to them relative to the larger trade and industrial worlds of the Inner and Mid Rims, let alone the Core and Colonies. Much like the Ciutric Hegemony north of us, these systems allied in a loose confederacy which they called the Commonality, and which is administered out of Columex. While the Commonality was almost immediately overshadowed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems when they joined, the formal governance structure is still present, and swaying Columex to the CNS would bring over many of its Commonality neighbors as well."
"...Thank you, PR-1."
"I shall put it on the list, then?"
"You know me too well."
"Indeed I do, Mistress. Shall we proceed? Well, then, the most important Force site on the list is Ossus, site of the original and still preserved Great Jedi Library. However, I understood you to be aware of Ossus, which is why I think you'll find its neighbor Murkhana to be far more interesting. Murkaha is the headquarters of the Corporate Alliance, that sits on the Separatist Council. However, the main function of the Corporate Alliance was to establish and operate the CIS Shadowfeed, which serves as a universal HoloNet for all Separatist systems and their neighbors. Recruit Murkhana, seize the Shadowfeed, and you'll take over almost the entire communications network for the whole of the Outer Rim -- north, south, galactic east, Separatist, Hutt, all of it. I do not advise you in military matters, but I do not require OOM-9's tactical upgrade to understand that this is quite possibly the single biggest strategic priority we may have in the fight against Palpatine. If he does seize power, a separate HoloNet infrastructure would enable us to get our message out to friendly systems around the galaxy, to fight the inevitable propaganda machine run out of Coruscant. Owning the Shadowfeed would establish the Council of Neutral Systems as separate and truly distinct from the Republic, if or when that becomes necessary."
"...I think I understand why you set aside so much time to go over this, PR-1."
"Indeed, Mistress, I thought you would. As for the rest: I've highlighted Liana due to our existing ties with Sienar Fleet Systems. Raxus Secundus is the official capital system of the whole CIS, though many delegates are finding themselves powerless in the fact of the corporate leaders on the Separatist Council, and a direct appeal to the Separatist Parliament would go a long way to recruiting many to join Neutral Space. Felucia is owned by the Commerce Guild, and while Shu Mai has treated it as her own personal plaything, our plan to oust and replace her as head of the Commerce Guild would bring Felucia into our camp. Finally, I would bring to your attention the planet Dac, also called Calamari or Mon Cala, which boasts one of the best shipyards for capital-ship construction in the galaxy. They're not as large an operation as Kuat or Sluis Van, but pit any Dac capital ship against any other design, and the Dac would come out on top. Despite their distance from the Core, the system is as loyal to the Republic and as friendly to the Jedi as anywhere you'll find, but if you can prove to their satisfaction that Palpatine is a Sith traitor, they would certainly be willing to join the CNS."
"...Very good to know. Is that all for the Perlemian?"
"Indeed, Mistress. The eighth and final region we shall cover extends from the Ash Worlds to the border of Hutt Space."

"...The first system of particular interest is Lothal -- known as the site of an abandoned Jedi Temple, but more significant as one of the few remaining veins of pure kyber crystal in the galaxy. For our business interest, I would point out that Toong'L is an IGBC client world, and therefore likely to follow the Banking Clans' lead in becoming Neutral, despite their location on the far side of Separatist space. On the other hand, we do not have friendly relations with the Techno Union, so I would expect it would be quite a long while before Saleucami ever considered joining Neutral Space despite the obvious benefits of neutrality for a major trade hub. For other political considerations, I would draw your attention to Eril'nar, capital of Centrality, which -- unlike the loose confederacy of the Ciutric Hegemony or Commonality -- is quite a bit more organized and self-governing, thanks largely to its historic and geographic isolation. Making a note of it now, Mistress."
"You read my mind."
"No, only your microexpressions."
Ciaran shot him a look.
"Fair enough. Finally, I would remind you of something I mentioned when this briefing began -- that if there were a world that was the only supplier of a metal required for durasteel, I would point it out?"
"Yes?"
"I wasn't lying. Af'El is that system -- while meleenium is only used in trace amounts, its use is required for durasteel construction and Af'El is the only source of that metal in the galaxy. I understand that technically it is possible to manufacture synthetic meleenium in a lab, but the costs are apparently prohibitive and the quality is significantly lower than pure meleenium found on Af'El. Like most of its neighbors, the planet was once controlled by the Black Sun, but ever since Operation Absolute Eclipse, there's been low-level posturing by the Techno Union, the Hutts, and others over who would end up with control of the system. I suggest we make a play for control of the system ourselves. Between Af'El and Toong'L, I believe we would have enough of a foothold near Hutt Space to sway many other systems between there and here, solidifying our control of the galactic northeast."
"Well, make another note of it, but unless I'm mistaken, that's all the briefing material you've prepared for me today?"
"Indeed, Mistress, though I made sure to reserve extra time in case you wished to ask any questions."
Ciaran peered more intently at the papers in front of her. "Oh, I can think of --"
BANG. The door abruptly swung open as Gulan Terrek hurried into the room.
"No! Not now, the Lady Ciaran is quite busy as you can see!" PR-1 tried to hurry him out of the room.
Ciaran, however, noticed the large smile on his face. "So what's the good news, Gulan?"
"Talesan Fry." said Gulan, setting the report on Ciaran's desk.
Wait, isn't that the same 'Fry' that Var Zheen was in a tizzy about? Ciaran quickly picked it and skimmed the report. ...Oh.
A smile began to spread across her face.
"I want this."
<><><><><><><>
A/N: I was already halfway through writing this when @Panory posted his 'Out of the Frying Pan' omake. I immediately decided to try to tie the two scenes together -- if only to increase the odds of Talesan Fry making an appearance in this quest, but also because I liked the idea of having our Learning Advisor try (and fail) to explain the device's significance, only for Ciaran to immediately grasp its importance from our Intrigue Advisor. (Learning is our dump stat, y'all...).
In case you're wondering 'Why???', well...
1) Why did I scour Wookiepedia for all this? Because I'm a nerd, because I had free time, and because finding points of interest (and potential systems to recruit) was one way to contribute to the awesomeness that is this quest. (For the record: I haven't even touched the CNS-neighboring sectors in the Mid Rim and Expansion Regions. Assuming my free time stays free, that's my next project.
2) Why did I write it up as an omake? Because most people don't read data-dumps, and framing it as a story would (ever-so-slightly) help. Also because I wanted to pull out specific items to emphasize, which works better if there's a clear difference between the 'briefing paper' and PR-1's oral report. Finally, because @Dr. Snark has been threadmarking any and all posted omakes, so this way the info-post will stay linked and accessible and won't be lost to the hundreds of pages of posts as this quest continues its juggernaut of excellence.

Also, query guys. Let's say next turn the war ends. Sidious' head explodes, Dooku dies, Separatists separate further without strong leadership and the Republic wins. What would and/or SHOULD happen to the CNS? Would it remain separate from the Republic? Would it remain allied, becoming a powerful voting bloc in the Senate? Would they make their own government system? I'm honestly interested in what you guys think might be best/most interesting/most likely to happen

"Just because I own the place doesn't mean that I'm going to run it darling. That's what delegation is for.""I don't want to be Empress. Too much stress."
Assuming that the Republic hasn't turned into something objectionable I'd say the CNS would be happy to reintegrate, it should be relatively easy to maintain the CNS as a powerful internal political group and trade league within the Republic, it should even be simple to maintain the militia forces in the vein of combating the piracy endemic to the Outer and Mid Rim.
The fact that this would be maintaining the power and influence Ciaran has built up goes without saying, not to mention that it'd be primed to become the engine that rebuilds the Galaxy, much of the Galaxy has been ravaged but most of the CNS is relatively untouched and far better positioned to assist much of CIS space.
We all know how profitable it is to have industrial centres untouched by war...
Then there's also the matter of the Republic then being open to manipulation by Ciaran as without Sidious around Ciaran would be left as the scariest person in the shadows and would be able to move with far greater freedom without fearing that an angry Sith Lord is about to pounce on her.
The Galaxy would be her oyster and there would be few who could hope to stand in her way.

I'd argue that the Emperor/Empress would have the least amount of paperwork. They'd have hordes of people to delegate stuff to, leaving only the most important things to even reach the Emp..
That's kind of what happened to Palpatine. After he became Emperor he discovered he enjoyed plotting to overthrow the galaxy rather than ruling it. So after he got the Empire running he retreated into his palace to do all sorts of Dark Side Research.
