The image of Ben Kenobi flickered in one of the chairs of the room. Kenobi was currently operating under Jedi business out in the edges of the Vergesso Asteroid Belt along with his two Padawans and the Rebel operative, Mattin, and as such he couldn't come in person. But never the less he was present for the most part. The blue embodiment of Kenobi sat quietly as he listened to Captain Tartoc. His argument thus far had been solid and Kenobi had for the most part agreed with everything Tartoc had said, showing his acceptance of his friend's words with a nod.

Although Jedi involvment with the Rebellion was not looked highly upon by the Jedi Coalition, Kenobi saw it as foolish not to at least make a pressence while they were welcome and at the most give advice on some situations. Kenobi had no intentions of jumping up and joining a Rebellion's movements, his fight was over long ago, he had served his time and now he was simply trying to make the Galaxy a better place in his own way. They may still have the same enemies but Kenobi's methods in dealing with the Empire had changed much over the years. And that was the way Kenobi was going to stay.

But then the motion came forth to recover and repair Centerpoint Station. The Station had been deactivated several times over the years and even Kenobi's first campaign as an Alliance Admiral back in his day saw the Rebellion Navy to the doorstep of Centerpoint where the station was heavily damaged. To his knowledge no one had attempted anything with it since. But now, suddenly Captain James Tartoc was trying his best to give strength to the Rebellion so that it may survive. But this was where the ideals of the Jedi Knights and the Rebels conflicted.

The Jedi Master was not about to allow Centerpoint to be reactivated without his say. Even though he wasn't on the Council, he knew his word would at least be taken under consideration whether or not they were heeded was a different story. Kenobi hated to speak out agianst a friend but when you had a belief... you stuck to it.

The image of Kenobi stood from his chair and announced the gathering.

"Captain, do you mean to sugest that the Rebellion put to use a weapon of mass destruction? I understand it is for the protection of the Corellian System but to use a tool of such caliber that the Rebellion has fought, bled and lost countless brave lives to put to an end... Do you think it is wise? Not making the station active would leave alot of muscle off of the field but we would be holding strong to the methods and the morales that built the Rebellion. Do you think Captain that we would have used Centerpoint, the Sun Crusher or one of the Death Stars back in our day?" Kenobi had refered to his own days back in the Galactic Civil War, the same days that James Tartoc had shared before his accident right after the Battle of Hoth. "Forgive me my friend, I understand your purpose and your intentions are true but the power is too corruptable and should not be wielded by any being of this Galaxy. The power to destroy on such a magnitude is simply to great."

Before sitting down Master Kenobi added one last thing. "This is my say in the matter, but I have no weight on the Council nor the High Command of the Rebellion. My words are advice only, I hope they help no matter which path you may chose at the conclusion of this meeting."

Ben Kenobi finished, bowed respectfully to the listeners around him and returned to his seat to await the continuation of the meeting. He knew Tartoc wouldn't take it personally, so his mind at ease. He waited...
