So... What's next?

[Darth Armyss]

Geographically, invading Manaan, Ambria and the other worlds you've stated seems foolish from a military perspective, when Anaxes and a host of other Republic worlds are right next to Coruscant, guys.

Agreed. There's several vitally-strategic planets that are within one hex of Coruscant, including some of the following (I'm not listing Tython, since we've already established that we'll capture that one later):

Brentaal IV: Vital trade hub at the intersection of the Parlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way (also my character's homeworld, but that's neither here nor there)

Bilbringi: Major shipyard. Capturing this planet could easily solve our problem regarding ship production.

Empress Teta Systems: Key planet for controlling the Deep Core region.

Anaxes: Republic Fortress World. Victory here could cripple Republic forces in the Core and Deep Core regions, though it may be best to first cut off the world from the rest of the Republic, as it's heavily-defended (already discussed, but listing here as a possibility).

Rendili: HQ of Rendilli StarDrive (obviously) and Golan Arms, among other corporations. Like Bilbringi, the shipyards located here could be rather useful.

Kuat: HQ of Kuat Drive Yards (obviously). Like Bilbringi and Rendili, they have a major shipyard. However, Kuat has their own sizable self-defense fleet in addition to those of the Republic, so attacking them right now would be unwise.

Ok So the pubs picked Anaxes as their next capital. Which I therefore propose 'Da Anaconda plan' (In no way shape or form stealing from the Anaconda Plan from the American civil war because I added Da to it.)

Da Anaconda Plan. Its simple, we maximize the influence sphere cutting by Invading from Coruscant to Brentaal IV, Caamas, then Vulpter, effectively cutting the entire influence cloud from Anaxes by attacking those planets. If they don't yield, we commence operation downfall and invade their capital Anaxes. No pubs afterwards.

I like it. So Brentaal IV's next, or was that in no particular order? If it is next, my character's familiarity with the planet (it's his home planet) could play a vital role in coordinating the ground offensive.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Well we got to wait on what the boss and everyone else says, [member="Albrecht Tagge"].

 

[Darth Armyss]

Affirmative. Either way, I support your plan.
