"Investigate the current leadership for Rebel ties. If they pass, we'll reinstate them as Imperial administrators once the groundpounders have accounted for all the Rebels."

Second, we need to develop a plan to address food and water. Mustafar system has no local capability to produce food, and very limited capability to produce water. Due to the damage caused by looting on the groundside settlement before the 506th could reassert control, we estimate that there are only 7 to 14 days of food left in system. If we distribute the Panthac's stores, we can extend that to a total of 45 days before the natives, and us, begin to starve. The system relied on trade, primarily with the nearby garden worlds of Rutan and Senali, to provide food. Our takeover may have disrupted that system.
"Hospital ships are meant to carry large numbers of personnel. We'll use her supplies, which should buy enough time to arrange a permanent solution without touching the Panthac's bunkers."

Third, we need policy for the disposition of military articles. In addition to the stores we have captured, the Mustafar civilian station guard and the various mining company security forces have some militarily useful equipment. What is our policy for dealing with local armed forces?"
"We should start a training regimen for second-line forces, and use local systems forces as the core for those."

"Finally, we need to consider future plans. We assess that Battlegroup Leviathan will reach Eriadu in three more days. We do not know the size or scope of the rebel forces that will meet them, though some of our detainees may have more information. Admiral Halcoor has proposed mounting pressure on rebel convoys to attempt to ensure that the forces at Eriadu neutralize each other. What other actions do we intend?"[/I]
"Indeed. We should check the sensor logs on the captured ships and interrogate the captured crews. Hard."
