I am doing my best to build up the military in my own small way.
I am going to shoot from the hip here, sorry if its rough probably on everyone reading it OOC, but IC Kei is doing his best and will always do what he's told, this is just my OOC opinion.
1 Jedi Master is worth a lot of soliders, a lot. Heck a Knight is worth a good bunch. BUT, every other faction around you is well geared up, the republic needs a bit more than it has. Even if that is just a a general (Not me Cody, hint hint) in charge that is able to follow the senate and the Jedi's orders specifically and organise things.
I wouldn't want that job OOC or IC
, because it'd be a tough one and you'd need a lot of contacts to keep happy OOC and IC, lot of work.
