How does Inspiring Rhetoric and IR(Improved) work? I see some places online that say it can be used on yourself and others that you can't.
Can we use it in events to boost our own checks if applicable or allies' checks if not our own?
I will have to look at it, if you have a copy of the text I can review it or go looking for it and get back to you.
Inspiring Rhetoric
Activation: Active (Action)
Ranked: No
Trees: Politico
Description:
The character may take the Inspiring Rhetoric action; making an Average Leadership check. For each Success, one ally within close range recovers one strain. For each Advantage, one ally benefiting from Inspiring Rhetoric recovers one additional strain.

Inspiring Rhetoric(Improved)
Activation: Passive
Ranked: No
Trees: Politico
Description:
Each ally affected by Inspiring Rhetoric gains a Bonus Die (Blue Die) on all skill checks for a number of rounds equal to the character’s ranks in Leadership; this does not stack with itself.

I'm not sure if you're still going through signature stuff, but I have an outstanding question about starting gear here. Sorry if I made it blend into my own bookkeeping.

So, uh, how does Alderaanian succession even work?

Panteer is the royal house, right? Can other houses become the royal house legitimately?

If the twins marry, how does that affect succession?

The Great Houses come together if there is a succession crisis and decide on the best House to lead... or someone uses brutish violence and seizes the throne.

If she names an Heir among the twins, or any of her children, they will take the throne when she dies or abdicates.

Do the various big noble estates/castles/etc incorporate public-facing spaces besides the Organa spaceport (attached urban spaces, parklands, businesses, whatever), or are they pretty much Private Property No Trespassing country estates?

I did get that other towns/cities are covered in the "Other Houses and Settlements" subforum, just wasn't sure how best to picture the major named estates.

I believe it gets fixed later, so lets not break the timeline.

What kind of network access is available in the player character housing? And/or how likely is it that a sensible Jedi should be cautious about how secured it is?

Basically, if Tethys wants to look up files that are innocuous, but she'd still rather not have random Alderaanian juvenile nerds able to hack in and read her search history, can she do it there or is there an access point somewhere else it would be more prudent to use?

Probably a basic comm suite to reach anyone in the Republic, security just depends it's probably not super high.

It's fine, unless she is trying to transmit Top Secret stuff.

Okay, cool, as long as it's not coffeeshop-wifi-level security I'm good. XD
