I hadn't gotten Neiraan and Silas firmly before, but I've put it down. Shandari and Looma I put together yesterday, so they're on there as well. Half of the Sith are organized! All these four need are a pair of locations and they're ready to start. I'll send some PMs to the other Sith players and see how they want to play everything out.
Jedi players, all you need is one more team and the other falls together by default.

If you wish, I can come up with some appropriate planets and some possible scenarios if you'd like and post them up on here for use. Most of them would probably be interchangable, so you could say 'I like this planet but not the scenario' and 'I like this scenario but not this planet' so in most cases it would probabyl be quite easy to move a scenario to another setting.
Also, I haven't really spoken to anyone about teaming up with Caleb, but I would like Caleb to be on Felucia since otherwise it'll be kinda boring/rubbish/pointless for him.

You're the boss, so I guess if you want to come up with planets and scenarios, that's up to you.

The ideas that I'm writing up will contain a lot of variables that will be down for the rest of folks to decide upon, I don't want to seem as if I'm taking control (after all, this is not my plot idea, I'm simply looking to provide a bit of a guiding/helpful hand). So it could be that everyone wants to debate about it, or just those people who decide to go for the specific missions can decide upon the factors, that's not really down to me, I'm mostly just going to be projecting ideas.
So far I've just got the one for Felucia, but I'm thinking up a few more. When I have a handful I'll post them up, hopefully that will be in the next few hours.

I've no particular things in mind about a particular location, so unless Silas/FZ do, I'm good.
Though, I've a question of sorts for the Disapproving One benevolent overlord: the Expansion Region is off-limits, yes? I'm working with the assumption that it is, but if it isn't, there's a bevy of brand-spankin' new worlds to use there.

Novus is in. That makes three Sith teams that have two members with another five still on standby. Looks like we've got enough for three Jedi teams, unless a Jedi or two want to run solo for some reason.

Like any missions suggestion of mine, these missions provide lots of opportunities for NPCs to be involved/created (which means other roleplayers).
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.
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have written these in such a way to hopefully provoke thought and discussion.
Also, I think maybe it should perhaps be questioned whether or not we should be limited to two per team/side. Especially with the large number of Sith (or just more advertising for Jedi involvement).
At the moment I have an idea for the Cerea mission but I still have yet to type it up, these take a little while to think through and a fair amount of time to write up in a way that I can try and translate the creative rambling mess of thought in my brain. Hope this is good/helpful/useful. I look forward to discussion.
(Oh, like I said, I would like Caleb for the Felucia mission please, he’s just gonna squee at all that planet life.)

I think everyone is in agreement: Caleb goes to Felucia.
This may change when the selection of missions grows, but I'd like to try out the Saleucami mission with Alindra (I may change my mind later, not sure). Regardless, I think the group being Grey Jedi would provide a bit more character development before getting to the inevitable fighting.

Well, I've personally assessed each one of them, and have a differing view on them, which I will give if you all are willing to read it.
As for the Felucia one I personally believe it is simply in the nature of the Sith to be more aggressive in social standings, and power, so I think unless they were planning to take over the planet at a later date they would be already influencing the Gossam. This would lead to hostilities when the Jedi arrive, and perhaps force them to seek out the Felucians so they could have a better place for a base as they try to shoo the Sith out of the area. This could cause for a fun thread as the pair battle it out, and try to ease the tension between the two parties.
On the other one, I'll have to disagree with you on this one Nightender, for I think it might be more fun if you have one Dark Jedi cult which is extremely against the idea of Sith intervention. This could lead to an amount of anticipation as this cult is defiant on all parts, and could even lead towards the Jedi and the Sith working together for a short amount of time to rid the planet of them, before they go back to angsting about which one got the planet, and such which could then lead to a battle of sorts. But I think it'd be interesting if just for even a single thread the two factions might get become enemies of enemies. Anyway, that's just my two cents on the two missions so far.
Also, I agree with Adam that it would probably make more sense if more than just two Sith came along. It would make the large number of Sith more manageable, and make putting people together easier.

Awww, Cal's got his master back. Anyway... nightender, I PMed Hotel/Alan back, but, yes, Alindra is welcome to hang out with us. And since Cal and Novus are going to Felucia, I would think that the three of us would have to pick a different planet. No sense in overloading the Sith.

Hrm, interesting thought on the Saleucami mission, Silas. I am, personally, a fan of three-sided fights and forced alliances, and I think that the interaction that could happen if the Jedi and Sith were forced to work together could be very interesting. Could lead to a bit of development between the two factions before the inevitable throw down happens. Though, it'd probably take a whole hell of a lot to get those two particular groups to work together, for reasons that I think are obvious. Of course, if the group their both their to stop/recruit has sufficient people and firepower, than perhaps it could just be the result of being overwhelmed.
And yeah, we need some more Jedai >.> *puts on recruiting hat*
Edit: I want in on the Saleucami mission, obviously >.> The side I play doesn't matter, though clearly, I can only be on one.

Awesome ideas. If my brain wasn't in temporary lockdown, I might have had some of my own, but alas, I have none. Still, I'm liking the Saleucami mission, especially if we have to do a temporary alliance. Would be an interesting twist thrown into the pot.
As for the two remaining Jedi teams, why not go with what I remember reading earlier? Reg and Kella's characters together, then Dire's and Saylis's. If that doesn't work, mix and match. Just a thought though.
Dire/Kella, Dire/Reg, Kella/Saylis, Reg/Kella, Dire/Saylis, Reg/Saylis are the pairings we can go with I think.

Epic plot ideas, Jennos... Decisions decisions!
I'm open to either plot, really. Roq has been to Felucia before, and I know he'd enjoy the wilds, where he can feel a bit more at home, but he'd also enjoy the politics of a three-way fight...
So I suppose I'll go wherever I fit best. :3

Oh, send Kellick to Felucia...she'd love that.
Or not. At all.
She just threatened to eat my soul.
I'm scared.
But yeah, she can work with whomever. Roq and Kel might prove interesting, as they have a little they could talk about regarding a certain gigantor corpse.
