I'm aware. It's an AU quest so some things are different from Legend canon.
What do you mean by power projection?Then the Republic needs to be way stronger than in canon, to the point where the clone wars would be unthinkable. Because that's the only way they could get that kind of power projection on the Rim. . .
The Republic does have many issues at the times however the Republic did have member's in the Outer Rim and could send force's if one could get the Senate to agree on it. This being one of those rare times. Also it helps that the Banking Clan aka the Muuns have various investment's and their homeworld in the Northern Outer Rim.In Canon, the Republic was too weak and corrupt to send forces to assert their will in the Outer Rim. They didn't really even have a military beyond the Judicial Forces and Jedi and even then the Senate was too riven with competing interests and Indecision to vote to send fleets too deep into the Rim. That's the reason the Seperatists were able to control so much territory.

Honestly I doubt Cathar is going to try anything soon. They expect us to make the first move so they're probably planning on just building up and waiting for us to attack so they have the forces to repeal said attack and then go crying to the republic that we're being bullies so the republic will then send the Judicial Forces after us. If they attack first, then they look like the aggressors and any outside support they would have received from the republic will disappear.
Granted they probably will attack at some point when their paranoia get's high enough wondering why we haven't attacked them yet but I don't think they're at that stage yet. I feel they'll probably start probing our borders or sending spies at us first before they actually lunch any kind of attack so we should have some warning before they try anything.
God! Fuck no. The only design I'll approve of would be some form of heavy frigate, you know, something that we can actually use to fill out our battle line. Corvettes are too damn light. Battleships are too damn heavy. One(1) single dreadnought is straining things as is. Even cruisers are too manpower intensive at the moment. Once we have enough population, maybe then we can start replacing frigates with cruisers.
You're gaining a decent number of Mandalorian immigrants every turn now including people with various skills.We have the credits to just attract the personnel we want.
@Alias can we have an action to attract skilled people to fill out our vacancies?
I don't want our entire system to run on skeleton crews.
Maybe even an action to attract Mandalorians wholesale? With the recent turmoil lots of folks would find it interesting.
The Republic Judicial Forces aren't much larger than in Legends canon. Not many planets. Right now most people in the Rim prefer the Republic reform rather than leave it through with time eventually we're going to have a Separatist Crisis.Could we try to appease Cathar later ? For the moment if we could avoid a war it could be good for us. I know that we are mandalorian but we are very few.
@Alias what are the military capacities of the republic compare to canon ? And have it a lot of worlds in the Rim who have desires To independance ?

There is also, of course the option of unwilling workers as well.Yeah but I mean economic immigrants who may not be inclined to permanently settle in our colonies.
If we could just fill the vacancies we have with willing workers, we won't have to wait for immigrants to move in.
Can we put a general 'workers needed' advertisement on the holonet to attract people who may be inclined to work in our colonies but not yet committed to permanently settle with us ?
Those are gonna have to be much much later though. Heavy frigates are cheap, reasonably capable, and can fill roles either on the battle line or as independent roving task elements.I'm not talking about a Star Dreadnought. I'm talking about the Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser. If we get the slave rigged versions, they only require 2,200 crew and even come with ion cannons.
