The Latter? Yep! (Alternate)

After gaining the Blueprints and Schematics to the Star Forge, and activating the other facilities, Revan began Building Sevral Miniature Star Forges he called Forges of Creation. These scaled-down Versions would build the Technology needed to Build a Much much Larger Star Forge. Revan Soon built Up several Thousand Ships, ten times as many War Droids, and Decided to Establish several Trading Hubs on Strategic, Minor or Dangerous Worlds Throughout the Galaxy. The Galactic Free Trading Alliance would allow Disparate and Far-flung worlds to Thrive and would be a safe haven for Planets wishing to escape the Clone Wars and not End up being invaded.

The GFTA could provide both safe haven and A thriving Economy, and had the ship's, Droids and Resources to back its allies up. Choosing certain Locations such as the Frozen Deathtrap of a planet Hoth meant that as the only actual inhabitants prior to the GFTA was pirates and criminal's and had no legal Owner meaning the GFTA could Settle Hoth as an Outpost World where they could Set up a Trading Outpost, the same could be said for Mustafar, or Manaan, Onderon, Yinchorr or Aeten II which while were inhabited were Good Allies to have.

Also since the Yinchorri were ****-Resistant and naturally aggressive, they'd make good Soldier's, the Selkath of Manaan were amongst the Best Scientist's and Their world was the Largest Exporter of Kolto and the only Source of Kolto in the Galaxy, the Mustafarian's were on a world that despite being mostly volcanic in nature, the Volcanic Rivers and Magma Lakes were ruch in Minerals, Aeten II had an Abundance of Lightsaber Crystal's which could be used to make lightsabers or To Power Cloaking device Technology. The people of Onderon had a large amount of finely Crafted Goods made from Organic Materials. Revan decided it would be wise to maybe mine a few Wroshyr Trees from Kashyyk for export purposes.

With the Yinchorr as an Armies Main Infantry, the Minerals of Mustafar and Crystal's from Mustafar and Aeten II they could build better ships and Droids with Cloaking Technology. But for the Time Being Revan would be Remaining on Coruscant to Keep an Incredibly Close Eye on Chuchi, after her **** and Pantora officially joining the GFTA, he was Always within a few feet from his Beloved, as were two Dozen Mandalorian Super Commandos with a Half-Dozen Yinchorri Bladesmen. Revan knew she was practically **** under this Much Security but he wasn't taking any Chances with her, he almost fell to the Dark Side in his anguish of her ****, so he needed this confirmation. But at the Moment Chuchi was Scheduled to make a Plea in the Senate, and he as the Senate Representative of the GFTA, would also be In Attendance.
