Also in attendance was Rico as he stands against one of the walls next to the window. Dressed in his combat jumpsuit with a dark overcoat to hide the fact he's armed with a blaster pistol and 2 power packs connected to his belt. His eyes are watchful of the entire meeting unfolds as the diplomats, ambassadors, represenatives, and generals speak on the matter at hand. The vote is cast and it seems everyone is in some agreement as to what is to be the first phase of the rebellion.<br/><br/>"If I may say something." Rico speaks up as he looks to everyone. "Throughout the time your goals are being met, the empire will keep their eyes open for any form of movement done by smugglers, pirates, and crime syndicates. Your people's movements will be among those very criminals. If this is to work, the empire's eyes will need to turn to another direction. i want to conduct a series of attacks, raids, and  to give them something to focus on, and their eyes away from your operations. I say that we gather weapons and armaments by taking them from the imperials themselves. Our people do not give away the fact that we are doing this as members of the rebellion, but as pirates and bandits bold enough to take them from the imperials. This gives us the three things that we need for our numbers. Weapons, intellegence on how the imperials would react, and gives everyone involved in these raids experience that they can utilize in the future."
