Why? As far as I'm aware, Mustafar wasn't important to his plans until he decided to send the Separatist Council there so he could have Anakin kill them all in one go, which (presumably, given that the war is nowhere near over yet) hasn't happened yet.
Thrawn: "It is a pleasure to meet you at last, Admiral Ackbar."
Remember this? Ansion is a minor agriworld in the Mid Rim, that inadvertently found itself at the epicenter of about a dozen major (multi-sector spanning) treaties, alliances, and defense pacts. Shu Mai discovered this, and tried to conspire to turn it Separatist because she knew that if Ansion went Separatist, the rest of the northern Mid Rim, Colonies, and much of the Core would follow.
Oh, and let's not forget these two either. Salliche is the sector capital of the Ag Circuit -- short for 'Agricultural Circuit', which is a string of massive agriworlds that effectively feed Coruscant and the rest of the Core Worlds. TL,DR: we just seized Palpatine's food supply.
Could get them working with Raith to make some truly amazing capital ships.
So we should poach Ackbar for the Abyss Watchers before he rises higher in the ranks?
Oh wow thats a really big deal then, time for Snark to break out the booze due to all the extra planets?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the gateway to a place that can allow people to cross time and space, which in Rebels allowed Ezra to reach back into the past and save Ahsoka from getting killed by Vader.
Oh, and did anyone else notice the billion-man mercenary army that just joined us? Yeah, that's a thing.
And not to put too fine a point on it, but this sector has hive-mind teddy bears. Individual Bilar are sub-sentient pets, groups of four have human-level intelligence, groups of seven are hyper-intelligent (Galen Erso-level) geniuses. Time to get crackin'?
1. They had to have some way to know to dig where they did.
oh god they're the star wars version of cranium rats.
I think you forgot to include our Arkanian Recruitment default bonus (+5 Learning) in the front-page list.
Will we be able to pursue relations with the Corellian Jedi further, either through Personal actions (Ciaran directly) or Lore (to study their techniques and/or history)? I'm also curious if we can establish a 'Jedi Embassy' or something, a base upgrade dedicated to integrating their knowledge into our study of the Force?
I had no idea how to include this on the front-page, but I can pretty well guarantee we'll be buying a base on Manda next turn, so I'll try to remember to include this as a 'starter' upgrade (maybe listed as 'Sweetheart Deals' or something).
Did the investments on kalee not improve either?
Double-digit bonus for Diplomacy and Stewardship, nice. I'm kinda surprised his Lore stat isn't higher (since he is an explorer, so he should know some archaeology), but the Stewardship stat is good enough for me.
Name: Mungo Baobab
Species: Human
Age: 27
Occupation: Merchant/Explorer
"Even in these times of war the galaxy needs people who are willing to leap out into the unknown and bridge gaps between peoples so that knowledge and prosperity may flourish."
Martial: 17 (Mungo is not a great fighter, but having decent and good reflexes is a requirement for exploring potentially dangerous new worlds.)
Diplomacy: 18+3=21 (By virtue of being a merchant Mungo has to be a good negotiator, and it's admittedly difficult not to be taken up with his enthusiasm.)
Stewardship: 27+3=30 (Mungo is the heir apparent to the Baobab Merchant Fleet which definitely shows in his skills with trade and finances, and he has a reputation for ensuring that his deals are fair for both parties.)
Intrigue: 17 (Thanks to the number of close calls he's had over the years, Mungo knows a few tricks, though under normal circumstances he will not lie to someone.)
Lore: 7 (The Force isn't really much of a concern to Mungo.)
Learning: 17 (While Mungo is not a fool by any stretch and loves exploring, he's not one to sit down and study things.)
Traits:
Heir to the Baobab Merchant Fleet: While Ebenn has yet to pass on the reins of the Baobab Fleet to Mungo, the fact that he is the heir to a large and publicly respected merchant fleet has its perks when it comes to negotiating with others. +3 Diplomacy, +3 Stewardship
