Yep, that was my definition of FUN! in my previous message. I mean, seriously, we are on a razor thin tightrope here. There is only so much we can do to prevent getting caught up in the hot side of the upcoming war, no matter how scandalous that may be for the Senate or the Republic's citizens. Remember that Sheev has aaalllll the power in his hand still, written into the Law by him and his cronies. We will not win any wars on our own. We have to do damage control HARD this turn to avoid looking like a new nation with an agenda other than "please don't attack me". Sheev is the master of politicking and shadowplays. He knows how to play the game. We must be careful in what we do know. Remember that Snark isn't going to be pulling any punches for us.

Well... that isn't exactly wrong...
I'm fairly sure both @Dr. Snark and @Teron have both said the Vong weren't a thing.

The Vong are shit villains, aren't they?

Wasn't it this quest where Bulq turned them down? Or was that something else I'm thinking of.

IIRC it was that in canon an important part of her recruitment was the fact that Bulq was present at the Battle of Geonosis which...didn't happen here.

So now that Corellia is part of the CNS, does that mean that we now have access to the Corellian/Green Jedi?

Send HK in to repeat some of his stories on dealing with politicians? We have about even odds of him dealing with a Palpatine supporter.
Yeah, when your first and only plan is murder, you probably need a better planner.
I mean, a few well placed murders is a time-honored tradition for making a politician lose influence.
But a massacre isn't unless we can blame it on him.

So! That was a thing.

See, by picking up the IGBC, we also picked up a number of affiliated banks, including Aargau:
Right now, every businessman in the galaxy loves us. Doesn't matter if the Republic or CIS are upset that a potential target has been taken off the table; their financial backers could not possibly be happier, to see the threat of economic collapse eliminated.
EDIT: don't forget we also added the Corporate Sector to our portfolio this turn....

Naboo is a big can of worms, but hey! We just got Corellia!!!
And now that's the Tapani Sector in our corner as well...
...:lol

rofl:I think you may be miscalculating a bit, @Dr. Snark. Yes, population-wise, the Republic is much bigger than either of the other two. But in terms of economy... not so much anymore.
See, by picking up the IGBC, we also picked up a number of affiliated banks, including Aargau:
As well as Circarpous:
The IGBC is probably the biggest individual bank in the galaxy (the Bank of Aargau is somewhere in the top five), but Circarpous is an entire planet of banks, most of which are smaller individually, but as a group dwarf just about everyone else. That's why Circarpous is considered the financial capital of the Republic, despite its odd position near the frontlines of war in the Expansion Region. Per the wiki:
And now we own it. Or at least, have pledge to secure its neutrality, so both Circarpous and Mygeeto are no longer threatened by war.Wookiepedia said:

Assassination, extortion, bribery, false charges, scandals etc.
Ciaran has considerable control of the courts as seen with Nute, we have some of the most deadly and effective assassins in the Galaxy.
We have access to more sensitive political information than almost anyone.
Ciaran is an utter horror to face in a shadow war.
Intrigue actions baby, start looking for his allies and follow the trail from there,.

Viable targets:
Mas Amedda: Political, vice chancellor, kinda a direct swing. Maybe get Garm to question particularly pesky areas of law that support Palpatine?
Janus Greejatus: Anti-alien sentiment. At some point he could be made to look like a behind-the-times idiot I'm sure.
What would eventually become the Imperial Ruling Council:

...I really need to write up that omake dossier on Palpatine's Inner Circle (hat-tip to @Stealthy for the original). Because some of his allies are ridiculously vulnerable. As in, one of them actively sponsored and supported the terrorist Granta Omega while Omega was threatening to bomb the Senate. So yeah, it shouldn't be hard to pin at least a few scandals on the Chancellor.

I don't think slicing the legs off and going for the stomach, is going to help here
Cripple him and then go for the soft spots that he has trouble defending isn't our plan?

I for one fail to see why no one has decided to deal with the root of the problem.
Ciaran: "Since this entire war began because of problems with the tax code, we of the CNS decided that the best solution is a new tax reform."
*Shows an impressive tax reform that ends the entire war right then and there.*
Palpatine's Thoughts: 'How the #*@# didn't I consider that angle for my master plan!?'
Politicians always underestimate the power of Economics. Especially any Sith who probably never took a beginner's course in their life.
