Hi kids,

A few important announcements in what could very well be the last Retrade Newsletter!

  • First and foremost, if I draw your attention to the Think Tank Update: Day 4. Bac announced, the following:
    [quote="Brandon Rhea]
    • The Ona’bak Retrade. As suggested by Cassanova and Gaja, we have made a retcon saying that the Ona’bak Retrade was set up by the Hutt Cartel in order to prepare the galaxy for the Cartel’s return to prominence. That means it’s always been a Hutt Cartel subsidiary. During the 10 skipped years, the Retrade will have been disbanded and absorbed into the Hutt Cartel, so it will no longer exist. All of its assets and holdings will officially become Hutt Cartel assets and holdings.
    [/quote]

    To those of you who were taken by surprise by this announcement, I'd like to apologise. However, any animosity towards Gaja, myself or the site's administration is sorely misplaced. This is an excellent thing for you and your characters. Admittedly some characters will be left in an awkward position, you know... accidentally working for the Hutts and all... but for the vast majority of you, this will put you in an excellent IC position within the Hutt Cartel - should you choose to transfer your membership across. Gaja, as the Hutt FL, has committed to respecting and honouring the commitment you have put into making the Retrade what it is.
  • The Enlistment and Promotion threads have both been locked indefinitely, as a result of the impending timeskip, and also the aforementioned changes. If you have questions about how your character will transfer (if at all) to the Hutts, please post them in this thread, or PM me, and I will do everything in my power to get back to you with an answer in a timely fashion.

As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me either here, or via PM.

- Cass

Hi playas!,

Weekly update... Ok, its like 2 weeks late. Sue me. Gaja's not about to start doing these things is he? ;)

  • As you may have noticed a week or two ago, Gaja's character, Yuri Sharp, became the Prime Executive of the Retrade. This is a simple decision to make to keep shit 'fresh' IC, and because Jack Tamblyn (oocly speaking) was only ever a tool to get the Retrade back on its feet. Now we can all get back together and live by our motto; There's crime to be done.
  • Operation: Land Grab is officially firing off with Gaja leading the way with Yuri, myself NPCing the opposing mishmash of forces, and ... some people RPing it with him. I know there's been a few 'issues' with people actually being able to do this, so jump into the OOC thread and see if you can't weasel your way into this thread!
  • Assault on the Shield Generator is off to a flying start with the gracious opposition of Mattoxz (RP with this guy, people. He's a real up-and-comer!). This is the second event that the Retrade has been a key part of that has galaxy-wide affects. The first was when Retrade personnel manned the mission to bring down the GA's defence network, allowing for the Imperial, Mandalorian and Chiss push to the core. The second is this one, the assault on the shield generator, which allows the other 13 threads to take place! Cool huh? Indie factions do make a difference!
  • Gaja and I are not nazi's people. So if you have any ideas for the Retrade that you want to bounce around, talk to us! Mission ideas, tech ideas, locations that you think we could benefit from. ANYTHING. We're here more often than our social lives deserve.

    So yeah, Don't hesitate to bounce things off us!
  • As i've been plugging endlessly, the Retrade Asset list is continuously growing. There are still over 25 additions to go onto this list, and even more coming post-skip. Any ideas for this would be greatly appreciated, and any offers of help, the same (Gaja isn't helping with this at all...)

Anyway guys, that's all from me today.
If you have any questions, ideas, queries, comments. Post here. Thats what its for!

Land Grab finishes. Hutts use the proceeds to pay a "Thankyou" sum of cash to retrade members. Sum yet to be decided. (Gaja will have to choose that)

Well as a retainer, you'll obtain [INSERT RANK] when Gaja's character, [INSERT NAME], goes through the list and approves them for their new positions within the cartel - assuming you sign Anderson up to the Cartel, of course.

I've gotta nut out a few more details with him about the handover, but do not fear. :)

Gotcha, and only reason I brought up Land Grab was because that as the thread I was supposed to introduce Anderson.

I know Land Grab was supposed to be Anderson's big debut and it still will I hope, but regardless of what we get done there I should say that he still has a position withing the Cartel and by Yuri's side. :)

So does pretty much every Retrade member.

As long as it wasn't a relative of the leader of the Hutt Cartel, I can't imagine there'd be a problem. Although, that'd be Gaja's decision to make, of course.
