"A council sounds like a good idea. Honestly, I just... I want to do well by everyone. I know that's impossible, but I want to do best by the underprivileged. Our people. And... I don't want it to default to militarization. I want us to be able to back each other up. So not so much of a... a fleet or confederation, but more of a network. Communication lines to call for help. That kind of thing. But... some kind of structure would be best. A kind of... yeah, council of spelljamming captains and crew with alliances and communication lines connecting them. Connecting us. I just... I don't know." Khadri paused for a long moment, taking a nervous, awkward pull from his tea. "Perhaps... Perhaps it will be best to wait and see what opportunities arise. Seek out allies among our scattered race, especially ones that hold positions of respect and power. Make deals. Make friends. Open communications and slowly build everything up. Any ideas?"
