Characters and Assets
Planets give your Group Assets. Assets are owned by Groups, and are controlled directly by Characters. Assets are things like planetary Minerals (Tibanna Gas, Mandalorian Iron), Fleets, NPC Armies, Banks, Monies, etc.
If you have a large group (typically measured in how many planets you own, but can be dictated by other factors too) you will naturally own far more Assets than other Groups and Characters. However, to effectively control these large quantities of Assets a large number of characters would prove extremely helpful.
Since Fleets have traditionally been the most-used planetary Asset here on TRF, the following is written with them in mind. Remember though, that the same principles illustrated here apply to most other Assets as well.
