Arms trough the galaxy

It took almost a whole week to organize what to do and how to do it, the fisrt part of the plan was to create an airfield in the back of the town, a park zone for the transports, more ammunitions depots and barracks for the new recruits. I also formalized my enterprise as the Grizzly Arms Syndicate, for this I formilaze the papers and documents via holonet and now I'm a small weapons company of the outer ream edges, capable only of producing obsolete vehicle that use gasoline and it's derivatives as well as small slugthrowers guns for selfdefense use. The airfield was a private project publicly funded by my company, in reality, I was paying the full cost of it, as well as that of the majority of the projects that will be complete in the future. Now the majority of the territory west of Mos Espa pay tribute to my city as tax, of course not as high as the crimes syndicates. This also result in the constuction of various project, we also capture the abandon speeder of the Black Sun and arranged for them a second life as part of the future pilot academy and recon roles.

For the aircraft I already had a few options in mind, of course the North American T-6 Texan/Harvard (Trainer Aircraft) for the purpose of training new generations of pilots, I though of getting about 250 models to start with, this aircraft could be retrofit to have two .30 caliber Browning M1919 machine guns or light bombs (50 lb to 100 lb) for ground attack missions, it couldeven carry a few unguided rockets, like the M8 rocket, for attacking vehicles or small structures.

The second one is the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, for the trining of paratroopers meant for surprise attacks, this of course if possible, would be upgrade to starships or even gunships like the LAAT.

And finally te main aircraft is not yet decide, I'm torn between the Hawker Hurricane Mk II or the Macchi C.202 Folgore, both saw service in Africa and had a very good service history. The last one, entered service in 1941, with a max speed of 600 km/h and a range of 765 km, highly agile and responsive, excelling in dogfights, had a superior turning ability compared to his german counterpart the Bf 109, especially at medium and low speeds. Armed with 2 × 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns (nose-mounted, synchronized) and 2 × 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns in the wings. On the other hand, the Hawker Hurricane Mk II that in contrast with the sole-purpose Macchi C.202 Folgore, could serve as fighter, ground-attack, and interceptor. It entered service in 1940 with a top speed of 540 km/h and a range of 800 km. It was know for it's extremely robust airframe, capable of taking heavy punishment and returning to base and its easyness to repair, even with minimal resources, which made it ideal for desert operations. The base aircfraft was armed with 4 × 20 mm Hispano Mk II cannons in the wings, but could carry up to 500 lbs of bombs under the wings or 8 × RP-3 rockets for ground attack.

In conclusion I've yet to decide, as for the ground transportation, well I feel inclined to use the M3 Halftrack and the Sherman tanks for convoy making as well as ten tons tracks andamerican jeeps. All easy to maintain and repair with high rates of fire and potents weapons.

As for the renovation of the main weaponry, or small arms, for now it would see little to no change but I already began to stockpile M1 Garands, 81mm M1 Mortar (USA), 3.7-inch Mountain Gun (UK), M1A1 Bazooka, Browning M1919 Machine Gun, Panzerfaust and a grand variety of weapons for the differents especifications of the buyers, becouse I also had japanese and soviet guns in stock.

My forces had began to stabilize the zone, move the Tusken Raiders to other territorys or outright elimination, as for the deal with Jabba, the pod race will not start till the next year ot in other words with the start of the Episode One: The phantom Menace and the rise and fall of the Chosen One as well as the galaxy worldwide conspiracy that was the Clone Wars. A galaxy full of potential business and so little time. With luck I will be able to struck a deal with Queen Amidala for the defense of her world but I will not risk everything here for only one deal with a pacifist princess. But I see promise with his royal guard captian but we shall see.
