OOC: This is open for any Jedi character who wishes to discuss this plan.
The Jedi Order was doing everything that they were supposed to do and that was a problem. Or, at least, it was a problem in terms of how spread thin the Yavin Temple's resources were starting to get. Maxims Tionson had secured dozens of Pamarthan pilots to help man the Jedi's starships and Drow Venn had gotten a Gammorrean clan to agree to provide security for the Temple. Not to mention the fact that numerous refugees from both Denon and Utapau had been rescued by the Jedi and were now lingering in Yavin IV with no real place to go. Thus, the Jedi Order had done a fine job of securing its own defenses and protecting the galaxy's citizens...and it was really starting to cost them. All these people needed food, shelter, and jobs and while at first, the Order was managing, things were starting to get stretched a bit thin.
Drow had a plan to change all of that. When he'd ventured off to Utapau to rescue the inhabitants of Rock Canyon, they'd taken a freighter to escape. By selling the freighter, the credits would be more than enough to clear out some trees in the Yavin forest and build some wooden cabins up. This makeshift village (that Drow was tentatively calling Temple Town) would provide a nice, quiet home for those displaced refugees. There was more than enough animals and plants in the surrounding forest for Temple Town to sustain itself on and any craftsmen or technologists could find work either with the Jedi Temple or within the town itself. Drow even suspected that selling any goods from Temple Town on the galactic market could provide the village and the Jedi Temple with some much needed credits. Plus, Temple Town would still experience the protection of the Jedi and their forces; giving the Temple Guard some extra practice in making their patrols and making the refugees feel more at home.
Additionally, Drow was also hoping to integrate the Pamarthen pilots into the Yavin Temple Security Force to create a unified body that would be much more effective working in conjunction with one another, rather than being siloed separately. He proposed that any pilots or guardsmen that wished to provide security for offworld Jedi could do so but their primary base of operations would be here on Yavin IV and the two forces would train with one another to get better accustomed to fighting together. Drow figured the Temple stood a better chance against an outside attack if there was a unified air force and land force. It was this plan that he explained to Jedi Council member Lena Goordayr and any other Jedi that might have an opinion on such matters. This was an open discussion after all.
"....so that's why I think integrating these two plans will bring us more revenue, make the refugees happy, and provide the moon at large with a greater sense of security. Any questions?" Drow asked to his fellow Jedi.
