He courted and even welcomed the New Republic representatives from the FarStar, although he had no intention of letting outsiders assume control of Gandle Ott. He wanted them to endorse him as Gandle Ott's “Native Son”, and presided over the Mushroom Cutting ceremony to symbolize Gandle Ott's independence from the Empire.
