“New information from the intelligence take, Senator, Admiral,” General Madine said. “To summarize… the Empire has begun construction of a second Death Star.”
“That is troubling news,” Mon Mothma frowned. “Do we have any information on where?”
“No, Senator,” Madine replied. “I’m sorry.”
“What about on who is managing the construction?” Mothma asked. “I know I’m asking a lot, General, but I need to know what there is to know.”
“That’s just it, Senator,” Madine told her. “There’s very little to tell – the summary of the report is simply that the Empire has begun construction.”
“Surely we must have more than that,” Ackbar protested.
“I’m bringing up the report now,” Madine told them. “...oh, yes. I see why they’re sure.”
He put the datapad on the table. “It’s an economic analysis.”
Ackbar blinked.
“...explain, please,” he requested. “How can an economic analysis tell us that a second Death Star is being built?”
“The price of quadanium, durasteel, and other major structural metals,” Madine replied. “Their full analysis is in the paper, but to summarize… we know there was a major pause in the construction of the first Death Star, and with hindsight the timing of this can be detected in the market prices for the structural metals and other aspects of the first Death Star’s construction. There is simply nothing else in the galaxy which calls for, among other things, two hundred and forty thousand cubic kilometres of quadanium armour plate.”
Ackbar gasped for a moment.
“Two hundred and-!?” he repeated. “That was the surface armour?”
“That was the surface armour,” Madine confirmed. “The Death Star’s construction involved the delivery of approximately twelve thousand cubic kilometres of quadanium averaged over a year for the armour alone, plus the metals required to build about two million cubic kilometres of battle station underneath the armour. It’s roughly equivalent in terms of volume to ten thousand times the entire Imperial fleet – it’s no exaggeration to say that, in hindsight, the construction of the first Death Star was the economic influence on the galactic economy over the last twenty-five years.”
“I believe I understand,” Mothma nodded. “So… the analysts have spotted the same thing?”
Madine waved his hand.
“Not quite, Senator,” he replied. “They’ve spotted an economic anomaly at least ten times the size. It’s straining the galaxy’s ability to produce durasteel and quadanium, keeping up with the demand is to a first approximation impossible… either this second Death Star is going to be finished in less than two years, or they’re building one even bigger than the first one was.”
The senator and the admiral exchanged a glance with the easy communication of people who’d been working together for a very long time.
“We will need to confirm this,” Mothma said. “No, not confirm that a second Death Star is being built, confirm where it is. Find out all the information we can.”
“Yes, Senator,” Madine agreed.
“We may need to contact the Bothans,” Ackbar suggested.
“Actually…” Madine mused. “I have a better idea.”
“You do?” Mothma asked.
Madine shrugged. “Go into business refining and supplying durasteel,” he said. “We’ll clearly make a good deal of money, and we can track where the shipments go…”

It's perfect timing that today is May 4th aka Star Wars Day and this character, Timothy Agpar makes his anime debut. He's a reference to Admiral Ackbar!

[POV of Admiral Ackbar] Hux’s principal concern wasn’t winning an engagement, but demonstrating the First Order capabilities and might for a galactic audience. He envisioned his massive Dreadnought coolly incinerating the Resistance from orbit, a spectacle he imagined would cow those worlds not already stunned into submission by the destruction of Hosnian Prime. […] Hux was a vicious little squig, but yet to grow into his teeth— he had the ruthlessness of age but none of its wisdom. A veteran commander worried about winning, not playing to an audience. Narratives were far easier to shape than battles, and they could be composed in safety and at leisure. Hux was a fool— but a fool with vastly superior forces at his command.
— Star Wars: The Last Jedi Novelization (Chapter 4)

I just realized that they've basically chopped up the storyline they were planning to do on Rangers of the New Republic and used it as the B-plot for Mando and Ahsoka.
There's still a great foundation for a show here though.

Get major Borsk vibes from Xiono.
Full disclosure, I don’t dislike the idea of Xiono, I just think he’s kind of a stand-in for Borsk, the detracting politician who ignores all the evidence in favor of forwarding his own agendas. Only thing, this guy doesn’t seem to have clearly stated agendas, she is just determined to avoid any possibility of action regarding the remnant, and he seems to do so simply because he doesn’t want to do anything. Borsk, on the other hand, had reasons for everything that he was doing, including pretending that Thrawn wasn’t a threat, namely, his pursuit of power. Gaining all the power he possibly could at all times was his number one motivation, and Thrawn’s emergence came right as he was staging a prosecution of Admiral Ackbar that would’ve given him control of the military, and made him significantly more powerful in the New Republic. He is a slimy weasel the entire time, but he’s the kind of slimy weasel that you love to hate, and his story provides so much political intrigue and background to the New Republic, and does so in a way that was really interesting and well done.  also, bringing in Borsk with canonize classic Bothans, and I really think Disney needs to stop beating around the bush and give us real Bothans already.
In short, I think that everything Senator Xiono does, Borsk would’ve done much better, ESPECIALLY getting wrecked politically by Leia.
