• Colonel Tuttle : I'm sorry, officer, you spent some time in the Outer Rim, right? Have you ever heard of Nevarro?

  Elia Kane : I have. I spent some time there, in fact. They have yet to sign the Charter. They're not a member planet.

  Colonel Tuttle : Uh-oh. That's not good.

  Captain Carson Teva : What does that matter? We can't leave them defenseless.

  Colonel Tuttle : Of course not. But we have a backlog of request from member worlds that have priority. I don't even know if we have the resources. Especially for pirates.

  Captain Carson Teva : I don't think this is an isolated episode. Nevarro has reported accounts of Stormtroopers in the streets and TIE Fighters openly flying above. The citizens speak of Moff Gideon occupying the town, and now a pirate king is attempting the same thing? These events could all be connected.

  Colonel Tuttle : I think that's a bit of a leap.

  Captain Carson Teva : Really? Because I'm hearing Moff Gideon never made it to trial.

  Colonel Tuttle : Captain, this isn't a rebellion anymore. We have a structure now. I work in Requisitions. So, let's focus on what you require.

  Captain Carson Teva : Okay, okay. I'm requesting authorization and backup for dealing with pirates on Nevarro, sir.

  Elia Kane : Perhaps the leaders of Nevarro need to understand why becoming a Republic signatory is valuable.

  Captain Carson Teva : By letting them suffer? Sounds like a rather Imperial way of thinking.

  Colonel Tuttle : Captain, you're out of line.

  Elia Kane : It's fine. I'm used to that kind of talk. But from experience, if often takes a new perspective before one is able to see the light.

  Captain Carson Teva : You and your sort didn't "see the light." You were captured.

  Elia Kane : No. I was liberated.

  Colonel Tuttle : In any event, thank you, Captain, for bringing this to our attention. We'll see if we can allocate some addition assets. Apologies, we can't do more.

  Captain Carson Teva : There's something dangerous happening out there. All these events, it's not a coincidence. And by the time it become big enough for you to act, it'll be too late.
