Grand Army of the Republic: A Star Wars Plan Quest

Hmm, I'm imagining him waiting until the GAR is officially handed over(possibly watching a clock), then bringing Obi-Wan to meet Doctor Desnos and filling him on everything that his former boss wouldn't want them to know. Then Jango asks him if he'd like to hire a bodyguard, now that he is the one Jedi the Sith will want dead at all costs.
Obi-Wan: I don't think I can pay you as much as your previous employer.
Jango: To be honest, it's more of a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Obi-Wan: Fair enough. I have some experience with Sith, after all. The only living Jedi who has, come to think of it.
Jango: Sadly, we need to expose this one before we can crush him. Doubt the Senate will consider this enough evidence.
Obi-Wan: Excellent timing, since I have just procured a skilled investigator.
Jango: Hmm, as a bodyguard, I really should make sure you can defend yourself.
Desnos: Not in my lab!
The scene just popped into my head for some reason and it amused me, especially since Palpatine would be less likely to worry about Jango if he's where the Sith can easily see him. And as far as he knows, Jango doesn't know anything about him, just Dooku, and he might assume that Jango sees this as his chance to kill Dooku for Galidraan.

Just another thing from the new cqnon along with the annihilation that doesn't make a ounce of sense.
It would make far more sense if she had the largest united majority while the various clans that didn't join her if taken together completely outnumber her group.
What they did to the mandos in New canon is only slightly less fucked up then how they completely removed the light side witches.

Any talks on Jango getting some genetic upgrades and infiltrating the clone army to avoid sith offing him?

I believe Jango is a living threat to the Sith's plans.
Sure, he proved himself to be an outstanding project leader despite officially being just a crude bounty hunter and achieved everything he promised and more. However, with the operation nearing completion there remains the question of what to do with those, that know way too much about the origins of the GAR as well as the men behind it. Since the Sith are Sith, the most logical approach would be something along the lines of: "You have outlived your usefulness". Jango is not stupid and has to know, that he may find himself on the wrong side of a lightsaber. Therefore, he should start working on contigency plans in case his employers will try to pay him in blaster bolts instead of credits.

Those gene upgrades are a great idea for Jango as well.
Beyond that what we SHOULD be doing is skimming like a mother fucker. Credits, weapons, ships, tanks, clone troops, uswe the money for personal projects. Fuck over whats left of Death Watch. Use that money to put the Null, Alpha class Arc Troopers, and the former True Mandalorian into full Besker Armor with all the extras. Worried about Sith use a Rounding Error to buy all those rare weapons that are custom made to take out Force users. Set up fall back positions for when the Sith Stab you in the back because they can't help themselves. Cortosis Sniper Bullets and a railgun that can use them without blowing up for some dumb as fuck reason.
Use the money to find and hire on somewhere else the best droids designer possible and have them remake the Basilisk war droids. Hell I'm sure some Hutt or someone else has one shut down in a personal collection take that shit and make more. Use the money and resources you have to find the fucking Mask of Mandolore, or the Dark Saber.
Add hidden overrides to the Dreadnaughts so when/if things go south you can hijack them from the sith. If the Clones get Order 66, 37, or any of the other horrific ones the clones would get a heads up about what the Sith Lord in charge just tried to mind control them into doing.
We're playing Mandolore FIGHT DIRTY

Several posters shouted down and screamed at anyone who proposed to go with a balanced fleet scheme instead of the
traditionalALL!ZE!BIG!PENIS!COMPENSATORS approach of the OTL Galactic Empire. The rest of us just grew tired with trying to calmly explain why it is a bad idea and just patiently wait for the eventual backfire.

I mean... honestly, yeah. We probably should have done it all along, sharing the risk with our children as a testbed. And, perhaps, that is the one way we can get our resident genetic engineer to go further with improvements. Proving them through our own flesh.
We might need that edge just for us to not hold our kids back. We will be supplanted by the end of this but, until well into the war when we see which clones go above and beyond, we are stuck in the command seat. We can't afford to be weak here because every shortcoming will be paid for with the lives of our children without exception.
I will reach through my computer screen and strangle the first Jedi commander that egregiously fucks up, if we follow that part of canon. Strangle them with their own intestines.

To be clear, Jango doesn't consider the clones to be his children. The only person he considers to be his child is Boba, who is unmodified clone of Jango that Jango is personally raising as his son.

Then I'll speak from my personal investment in them and not his. While wishing he would change his mind.

Why aren't we just building more ship classes locally instead of daring the Jedi to find us with yet another contract upgrade?
We would need to build the production space, and then tool up the yards to produce the items. Two actions to get it, and it probably would give less than the contract due to how the successive production actions scale for both...
Which might play a role.

in exchange we're not playing Russian roulette with the jedi. If they find us we'll have to kill them putting the rest of the Jedi against us, or they escape and the Sith immediately try to murder us for our 'failure'.
It isn't like we don't have an a massive amount of production space going to waste better to use it for something.
Honestly Anything made locally should be modified to be full up warships ignoring the Ruusan Reformation instead of having to be upgraded after the fact like those built by various companies.

While that is good is that not also extremely limiting, aren't most of the best toys those that have nothing to do with the Sith?
Mostly I'm wondering why we built up all this production space if we're not going to use it for something.

You are currently using over 80% of your local production capability.

A lot of unused production.
Beyond that have you thought of making it an option to build factories on Korasa, or one of the other two moons in orbit? Nevermind the 12 other worlds in the system.

Yes and I decided against it since the level of expansion that you require isn't practical to do on lifeless worlds. If you want to expand effectively, it will need to be off-world in other star systems.
I can add pirate hunting actions in future turns, but they will be very exposure heavy as you run the risk of your targets running away or bystanders/passers-by spotting you not to mention people picking up signs that someone is finally using all of that military hardware that has gone unaccounted for.
A.K.A. everyone is watching the galaxy like hawks for the missing equipment. Meaning it is almost certain to be costly in exposure because everyone is waiting for the mystery group to use the equipment being stockpiled... 🤔

We don't have the Industry Dice to start pumping out more warships and construct Dreadnoughts at the same time - if you've noticed, all of our Dice has been going to Dreadnought construction. If you think we can spare the Dice pumping out Republics, Valors and Aurek, CECs and PTBs. It might be more convincing if you can do the math and show that we can both complete five more Dreadnoughts in time and divert precious industry dice to building warships too.
The biggest concern of the thread right now is getting more facilities, but we are reaching the point where our next two plan goals cannot be reached in a timely fashion without expanding exposure on off-world facilities ( we are looking at 64 facilities to fund the upcoming plan goal, and anywhere from 64-128 facilities to fund the next). And Exposure is getting extremely, perilously tight because of that one intrigue role that rolled so poorly we've been getting exposure surges every few turns because of the active Jedi-investigations.
