@Nor'baal
This was not a good idea
The thought kept rolling around in Telly Udon's mind as his fingered hovered over the "send transmission" button on his ship's holoprojector.
The Hutt Cartel had formally declared war on the Empire and what to do about it was plaguing the Pau'an Resistance leader. Of course, Nor'baal was not doing it out of any sense of righteousness - the slug saw weakness and opportunity. And, Telly suspected that the oppression under his reign would be similar to those under Sith or Imperial rule.
But that didn't mean there wasn't something to be gained from all this. Telly saw it as a calculated gamble. Either the Empire wiped out the Cartel, which meant that Nor'baal wouldn't be a problem in the future and the Imperials would have wasted precious time, resources and money stamping them out. That could open up a lot of possibilities for Telly and his resistance cells.
Alternatively, the Cartel could end up winning. If nothing else, the Cartel leadership might be a dictator but one without Force sensitives bolstering their ranks and far less military discipline. If Telly had to pivot enemies in the future, he very well might have an easier time fighting Nor'baal versus fighting the Empire. And, of course, there was the 0.00001 percent chance that Nor'baal may actually be good for the galaxy.
Probably not but who knew? Plus there was the chance that both factions took each other out. It was a risk worth taking. Telly hit send and sent a holoprojection of himself to Nor'baal's Tatooine palace.
"Greetings powerful Nor'baal. My name is Telly Udon. I'm with the Resistance. I believe we share a common enemy."
