Recruitment

As head of recruitment, The people's Movement used 10 clout to preview all 6 recruits in this pool. 

First up Lt Telsij, and Excellent pilot and scientist was recruited by the People's Movement for 14 Clout. 

He was assigned as a Squadron leader. 

Gidd Lonn was next up. And while Gidd is an excellent diplomat, he does have some noticeable drawbacks. He has difficult gaining glory for being grandiose and debts make missions against crime groups more difficult.

The Luxon Militia recruited him for 15 clout and he was assigned to be liason with Rebel HQ.
Jah Doza was introduced in Operation Downfall, and is a force sensitive "hippy". A caring pacifist, he has no time for combat operations.

He was recruited by the Basra Consortium for 13 Clout and put to work as the Senior Diplomat. 

Andil Thorne was also introduced in Operation Downfall as the Chief of Staffs personal logistics officer.

A capable, if not flashy officer, he was recruited by the Republicans for 14 Clout and appointed as the new head of manufacturing in logistics. 


Jaina Koral is a capable smuggler, and a passable fleet officer as she comes with her own named CRV-90. 

A deal was struck with the people's movement that allowed the Basra Consortium to procure her services for 10 clout. She was assigned to fleet command. 

Finally, Occuddeshu is an excellent smuggler or diplomat. Outraged with the deal in the previous round, the Republicans and Luxons pooled their clout to drive the cost of her up. 

The People's movement obtained her services for 15 clout and she was assigned to the smuggling pool.
