RE: Star Crossed Lovers
Jaden took his seat again and drank from his beverage as he heard her words. He nodded his head in understanding once she was finished speaking. "Many Outer-Rim worlds hold no love for the Jedi and the Republic. I can definitely understand why your people hold no love after what the Jedi had done to them, but rather than be given the choice to follow their own paths the choice will be taken away from the Maidens. Think about it. Graf used Olivan as a starting point and a source of disposable pawns. Once he was done there he moved on to Baklid which provided him with shipyards to build his navy. Then Bargess IV was taken without a shot fired. I believe all that was done was to build loyalty to him and now he has soldiers that have closely trained with Republic soldiers and know our playbook. Fray would have given him an over abundance of fuel for his ships, but at least for now it is not his. Which brings us to your world," he said while looking around and taking in the beauty that surrounded them.
"Your world would have given him a very effective force of femme fatales that; if they're anything like Trysta, could get in and out of places silently and inflict maximum casualties. There wouldn't be any choice to go your own path. There would only be that absolute. And your people's belief in the Goddesses would be considered heresy that would be stomped out. Im not here to barter for you to side with the Republic. I'm no negotiator. That takes a more patient man than I. However, should your people vote to remain neutral I will do my best to make sure that it is honored."
