On a world without space travel? Yes, I can see how that would be an obstacle. So instead, you intend to lead a group of soldiers for hire?
[Dooku sounds skeptical. He loves employing mercenaries, but helping to lead them strikes him as beneath his preferred station. Still, perhaps he can earn himself an eventual discount by making himself useful while laying the groundwork for these Dendarii.]
In some sense, yes. In others, no ... we will be rather less military for starters. Gregor and I plan to provide protection services for the natives here.
[ And this little ball of hyperactivity and insubordination is unlikely to listen to any leadership besides Gregor's, alas. ]
A noble intention. Ordinary citizens appear to be most vulnerable when caught up in our affairs. Yet what resources will this unit make available to imPorts who do not serve the government?
[That was the original reason Kitty pointed him this direction, after all.]
Precisely. The backbone of what I'd like to do to attain those resources is necessarily militaristic, but the purpose is civilian. Lodging and money, to start with, and other necessities after that. Perhaps a healer network - medical concerns are near and dear to my heart.
I understand. Your mercenary work will simply be a means to an end. And in this political climate, you could swiftly attain significant wealth.
[In a 'war' like this, there is always demand for mercenaries and bounty hunters to carry out 'deniable' acts of violence. And such specialists are always well-compensated for their dirty deeds. Dooku would know, being one of the most frequent employers of such people.]
In that case, I would be happy to assist in founding the Dendarii. While I cannot fight for you, I have significant experience with organization that could prove valuable in arranging the logistics for this new entity.

[ Exactly like bounty hunters, really. Though Miles is not much of a violent type. ]
Delighted to hear it then, Count. Greg and I will rely on your assistance.
