Hngh. I don't want to stick my nose into some petty Republic attack. Too much trouble when I'm already dealing with their lot trying to convince me to 'change for the better'.
... Though. If you happened to 'steal' a couple of slaves of mine, I'd have no choice but to activate the self-destructing mechanism in their brains. It'd be a real damn shame, especially if they were nearby any Republican buildings or do-gooders in fancy suits. It sure would be an awful thing if they were nearby any electronic devices, considering that the device in there has a little magnetic field that builds up before it's compromised...
A damn shame. I just might have to step away from my ship's controls, call in my favorite slaves, and leave out the ones who wouldn't sell because I'm just so upset with such a thought.
