Seeing as how my successor seems to have pointlessly declared war on the Mandalorians, we might need all the friends we can get....
I did not declare war on the Mandalorians. They declared war on us, and I told them the consequences. Regardless, I am in negotiations and alliances with the Mandalorians will not be an issue.
As for you Senator Brunswick, whenever you have issues you seem to spawn hundred of Verpine. I trusted that you and Horde could deal with the problem. Unlike you I did not find pointless attacking Sith Rabble to help us in the capturing of Nickel One.
Then there is the Echani. We are currently allies, though I know certain actions they have made have troubled certain members of the Republic. We have many things that need taking care of, and I do not believe extending our resources to assist them will positively affect us as much as utilizing our resources how we do normally. I am not opposed to them examining declassified shipyards, but I will not condone the spending of resources when they really don't have much to support us with(If you look at the user base 90% of them are secondary alliances, and are either already aligned with us or would already be aligned against us).
Finally, this is a Republic. Any policy we wish to instate, edit, or remove can be put through the Galactic Senate and then be voted on by the people's representatives. My presumed incoming position, current position, or anyone else's position, do not mandate final authority on any Republic Policy.
