Suggestion: Add the 5th Fleet Security Battalion to the server.
Implementation:
As a Battallion: There are many ways an extra security battalion can be implemented. For one, we have a constant stream of VIP's walking around the ship, often without a dedicated escort, a role which 5th Fleet could dedicate themselves to. Additionally, there are many locations on the ship that have restricted access that otherwise lack a dedicated guard (Although they may have one, I run in an out of this area very often and see nothing). The Armory also lacks a specifically dedicated guard. Finally, an extra security battalion would create a healthy competition between the two battalions, assuming the right leadership was put in charge of 5th, which could boost Shock recruitment and create an extra layer of 'security padding' in 5th.
There is also a possible direct integration of 5th Into existing security battalions,, but I have not been able to speak with their BCMD, so cannot fully detail my idea, as he has not affirmed it.
Lore: Very little is known about the 5th Fleet Security Battalion. They likely originated first, as a concept in the Star Wars traveling exhibit ("Where Science Meets Imagination"), and were later produced as a toy so Hasbro could milk the Clone Wars cash cow more. Such, the Battalion has earned the nickname: 'Toy Battalion'

Some final notes: My first Note, is that I strongly believe 5th would have strong membership from day 1. Either through the fact that it lives through REG CMD Qal, or that various former members of 5th still exist on Synergy and would likely be glad to run the battalion if given the chance.
My Final. Final Note: I understand that to add a battalion, one other must be removed. This is the biggest dilemma here, one that I really don't have a solution for, besides directly integrating 5th Into the existing security battalion, which I haven't been able to properly discuss with them.
