| As per the recently passed Senate act.
The Trade Federation has offered the following craft to help make our operations easier, but will be crewed by Judicials:
-1 Nautilus-class Transport Liner - When suitably re-fitted with more advanced repair bays it should be able to repair anything up to frigate size in its massive Hangars, perfecting the craft as a repair ship that doesnt need to stop. Also allows for quick evacuation in a civilian crisis or redeployment of Republic friendly units to trouble spots when needed*.
- 1 Lucrehulk-class Core Ship - To act as a mobile HQ, final stage training facility, hospital ship, evacuation craft and Humanitarian Aid delivery craft.**
- 4 Druckenwell-class Automated Hauler*** - A perfect fuel-cow to meet at a preset rendezvous and resupply the repair and resupply tenders for the fleet without risking crew.
* Modified gratis as a donation from Alderaan Royal Engineering
**With funding for this Humanitarian Aid and Hospital sections (as well as any other mercy-related systems) being funded by Humbarine by voluntary subscription.
***Trade Federation donation.
There is a need to add a modern edge to the Judicial Forces ships in the Outer Rim, so funded from the above. We will seek to purchase the following, for the good of the Republic.
To be Produced at Rothana & QOM (under license)
- All Invincible-class Dreadnaught Heavy Cruisers (three) in the Outer Rim Judicial Forces shall be upgraded to Indomitable-class Dreadnaught Heavy Cruisers as the design is obsolete.
One per month would be completed
- 2 Xenvaer-class Carriers shall be commissioned (to be distributed to the two rapid reaction fleets) each to carry 72 Judicial Lancets.
One per month to be completed
- 4 Nebula-class Protection Frigates shall be commissioned to carry A6 Fighters.
Two per month to be completed but construction to begin only after the Xenvaers are complete.
To be produced by Kol Huro Shipyards or another Outer Rim Yard if it is too busy
- 1 Sythe-class Carrier - Although it has a slower hyperdrive it is worth considering the cost : benefit ratio of Outer Rim produced ships such as these. QOM will construct the Lancets to go aboard.
To be produced over two months
- 1 Manumit-class Patrol Cruiser seemingly designed to work with the carrier from the same yard, both of these will aid in the judgement of these yards production efficiency.
To be produced in one month
- 2 Alderaan-class War Frigates (Export Model)
Both to be completed in a month.
- 2 Crown-class Armed Galleon - Fitted to corvette carrying bays can act as basic repair, rearmament and refuelling stations for Corvette-class ships.
One to be produced per month.
Sixteen IPV-1 Patrol ships
To be completed as a batch in six months time.
Cuts to Outer Rim numbers.
As new ships come online some of the older ships will be transferred (with Senate assent) to the Expansion Region.

| I vote to DENY any further custom designs for the Republic at this time, other than individual, specifically-purposed ships for a particular mission, which can be requested on an as-needed basis. I for one didn't vote on the Senate measure because I rather expected it to be withdrawn in light of our conversation on this matter, wherein we agreed custom ship designs were unlikely to be approved for the Republic. I think the withdrawal of that bill is still in order.
No need to request cargo haulers (i.e. the Druckenwell-class, as long as they're not used in combat), and Lucrehulk-type ships are already mentioned as being part of Republic forces, both canonically and here in Legends. Things like IPV-1's and Alderaanian war frigates, etc. are fine. Everything else I vote to deny, I'm afraid.
