Location: Felucia, Saleucami, Cerea
Mission Briefing: To better the overall Sith campaign, creation and conversion of Sith-loyal groups (cults, congregations, etc.) has become a possibility.
No thread currently exists because this will be several related threads, each with its own group of Sith in a different location converting parts of the populace. Not meant as a form of galactic conquest, but simply as a stage for later advancement into more central Republic locations. Conversion is key, not confrontation.
In time, the Jedi will be arriving to investigate what's going on, though this will be an investigation on their part, not a case of Jedi hunting Sith.
Planet: Felucia
Location: Outer Rim
Alignment: Independent
Idea/ Scenario: This idea is based around the two main groups/sides on Felucia. This would be the Gossam, who colonised the word thousands and thousands of years ago and the Felucians, who are the natives of this planet.
Essentially, there are a few ways to approach this. As, for the Gossam, this world is primarily an exotic retreat it means that there will a large number of wealthy members in charge, thus the Empire can be appealing to either recruit them onto their side, or simply to be friendly and pay to use areas of the planet for building either storage or construction facilities.
For the most part it says on Wookiee that the Felucians ‘avoided notice’ for the most part. However, it could be that the Gossam have gotten a bit more adventurous recently and have walked into Felucian areas, provoking a response from them. In turn the Gossam could be out to try and take down the Felucians in order to attain peace on the planet (once again, this provides another way in for the Empire).
Now, the Jedi could be around because they’re either responding to news of Sith involvement in the area (if they’re Blades) or it could be if the Republic feels that the Gossam are trying to wipe out a species (this would be more a case for members of the Order, but members of the Blades could also come for this reason I suppose).
Now, it can be played out that the Sith are only just getting involved. Or again, it could be that construction on the planet has already started and that is how the Jedi are involved, through hearing about it. The Sith could be there to oversee that the Felucians or any other factors do not get in the way (ie, to make sure there is a smooth transaction).
So yes, there are a few variables for this one. Such as weather the Gossam would be looking for an alliance/joining with the Empire or just looking to be paid and allow the Empire to construct a number of facilities on the planet.
Players: Jenno, Neology, TBD
Planet: Saleucami
Location: Outer Rim
Alignment: Independent
Idea/Scenario: This idea comes more from a rogue/independent/vigilante group of Force Users angle. Though once again there are a few varying angles to choose.
First of all is the decision on whether or not the group should be Grey Jedi or Dark Jedi. The premise would essentially be that there has been a few incidents/disputes between this group of force users and the Wroonians (the species that has colonised the planet). This would have come up in public news recently, in some form, thus attracting the attention of both the Jedi and the Sith. Now, if the group is one of Dark Jedi then the likelihood is their presence on the planet will be an aggressive one, the Jedi will be there to arrest them/clear them out and the Sith will be there to recruit them (though that could still be difficult to do if the Dark Jedi do not wish to bow their heads). If the group is of Grey Jedi then this becomes both sides trying to recruit them and possibly the Jedi asking them to move on (per request of the Wroonians) it could also be that the Sith have to eliminate the group if they join the Jedi.
Now for the goup size I was probably thinking around 15-20 Force users of varying strength/ability/experience.
However, there is also something else to consider. Are these Force Users alone or do they have others with them. For instance if it’s the Dark Jedi they could have a small group of pirates or droids working for them, intent on exacting some sort of revenge on the Wroonians, or simply looking to build up their own form of power/empire (though currently at an extremely early stage). If it’s Grey Jedi this could simply be servants and/or droids (I have the image of Grey Jedi that are somewhat snobbish, with a fair bit of money). This would vary the lethality of the group perhaps.
They’d likely have a base set up within the planet’s underground caverns, which would provide them with a great deal of secrecy, protection and potential for building a base of some kind. So yea, those are the possible routes/options.
Players: Rugs, Silas, Saylis, Dire Wolf
Planet: Cerea
Location: Mid Rim
Alignment: Independent
Idea/Scenario: My idea for this comes from the information provided by wookiepedia. Essentially, this will deal with an internal issue regarding the Cerean. Primairly their culture is very low-tech as they see themselves more at one with nature. It’s for this reason they have not joined the Republic.
However, there are some Cerean who see this decision as preventing the growth and evolution of their race, preventing them from becoming something greater. Now, since outsiders aren’t allowed to easily just walk around the planet, I think it’s probably best to have this take place in an Outsider Citadel. Once again I feel the trigger for these events taking place can be down to recent publication of happenings on Cerean, so for example either a terrorist attack by the pro-tech group or a shoot out between the pro-tech group and the anit-tech (majority of Cereans/government) group (this way we avoid painting one group as stereotypically bad and the other as stereotypically good).
My thinking is that with the Outsider Citadels probably being the best place on the planet to purchase/come across tech, this particular citadel would be the pro-tech group’s main base. The Cerean ‘government’ as it is, would probably have some sort of policing group on the citadels, or if not they’d have some sort of group/unit/section of policing in their society they could send after these pro-tech folks who are causing such a fuss. So the Sith would of course see this as an opportunity to gain a foothold in the Mid Rim at some point in the future and so would get involved in order to establish relations and offer them a place in the tech-laden Empire once the planet is taken over. This would then essentially involve the Sith trying to set up the Cerean pro-tech group into a position where they can start making some real progress on the planet in terms of spreading their relief/growing so that when the Empire comes knocking their job of taking over the planet is made much easier.
Now, the Jedi/Republic would perhaps see this as an opportunity to improve relations with the Cerean peoples/government in order to start them along the stepping stones to joining the Republic. I don’t know if for this one you’d want the Jedi showing up first and the Sith coming in later or if there is any such specific order wanted for the arrival of the groups but I just quite like the idea. And like I said, this would probably be best staying within one of the Outsider Citadels.

I was just picking planets that had little or no threads on 'em, haha.
