A Place to Begin

[Aram Kalast]

Now, while we are Minor and cannot hold any planets we can however own some form of area we can call home.

In keeping with the spirit of the First Order I would love some suggestions where we should establish our little secret base that can see us start our steady expansion towards galactic dominance.

I was thinking somewhere out of the way, a place that can allow us to build without being too forced by other factions?

ALSO

Do we want a base, a facility of sorts. Or do we set up in a downed star destroyer crashed during our initial retreat?

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

If we look at the map the biggest open spaces seem to be either under the Republic, or to the bottom left of OP. These would be the best places for expansion, it seems.

As for our home, I think it should be a nice, polished military base.

A good place to start is this list.

An ideal candidate from that list is Eriadu. Not only is it a fortress world, but it boasts shipyards, as do some of the other worlds along the Rimma Trade Route on which it sits - Elrood, Sluis Van, and Sullust - and the Corellian Trade Spine (which intersects with the southernmost area of the Hydian Way) boasts Bespin, another resource - tibanna - as I'm sure most would be aware. Other worlds in the general free area in the south that are good for, say, restricted materials are Demonsgate and Valhalla, to name two.

All in all, you can't really go all that wrong with setting up in the presently neutral sectors of the south. Suffice to say, I've spent entirely too much time with the map in the past...

...so if you need to find something on that map, I can find it, or give a very educated guess as to where it should be.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

Eriadu is not a bad choice. There's decent area for expansion around it as has been noted.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the OP faction has just gone minor, which is good for us if we choose to set up shop around there.

You are correct, but it won't be utterly evident until the next map update... and considering we just had one, it could be a while.

 

[Aram Kalast]

I am also in favour of Eriadu. It serves our needs and gives us a nice area for our eventual expansion.

 

[Natasi Fortan]

Eriadu seems like a great place to start. It looks like we have an accord.

 

[Moira Skaldi]

Agreed. Eriadu is a good place. Also the home of Tarkin, so bonus points for that! I guess there's consensus then.

The Galactic Alliance is setting up on Sullust, which is next door to Eriadu, on the map.

We might have to rethink this.

 

[Aram Kalast]

Anoat?
Bespin?
Or we could stay...get ooc friendly with the galactic alliance which will give us threads a plenty for training etc?

 

[Tmoxin Temi]

I have no problem staying with Eriadu. In addition, the proximity could give our intellience unit a target on which to spy.
