Okay. How about this question. Why would OmegaPyre be interested in taking a trivial four moon gas giant, zero lore system? When, if they want to go south they will likely go to something like Denon, which ACTUALLY cuts us off. Furthermore. Conquering the SSS should really be the farthest thing from our minds. Approach this from an IC perspective. Logically. Where does the Republic go when it is at war with the Sith? To secure planets directly in their path of conquest.
And if you've read the thread then, you'd see that I proposed Kashyyyk. Actually moves us TOWARDS an ACTUAL opponent in the Sith Empire. Or doing something that moves TOWARDS the Roche Asteroids, which is also significant for weapons manufacturing. Then pushing towards the Wheel because in reality. The Empire is moving down the Perlemanian. That's where things are going. So want to secure soon to be contested territory? Go that route.
Shoot. Going UP makes more sense, sense the Empire is going to be branching up into Imperial Remnant space. That route gives you Ord Mantell as an option, or Glee Anselm (though less logical).
Basically what I'm driving at is that Antar is literally the worst planet to go after.
