Operation Joystick
this was the codename for the New Republic's plan to bring the planet Adumar - along with its military resources - into the Republic's membership. The basic plan involved two stages. The first was the infiltration of the planet's society, to determine how best to approach the Adumari. It was decided, based on the military background of the Adumari, that the second stage would involved sending starfighter pilots as the primary diplomats to Adumar.
