[X] Plan: Finishing up
@HelereTheAce is there a possibility that we can expand the facilities we can build on, that are cleared out? To the level that it would be equal to a blacksite facility, that we would need to destroy and such when any of us played XCOM 2.

You'll be able to unlock more building slots later on, likely in a few months if things keep on the same track

[X] Plan: Finishing up
Hey guys, once we started on spreading out influence and powerbase on Dromund kaas and other planets in the system it inhabits, which other planets would you think we should go next as of our interests?

I think it depends on the worlds that are near us, it's been a while so I am not sure what is nearby right now.

Hyperdrives and lanes make distance more or less irrelevant in terms of this quest, travel between planets or systems will simply take a turn. As for what's nearby? A lot can change in 3,000 years…

Where Dromund Kaas is in the Galaxy is somewhere in the Outer Rim; the planet itself is at the center of a sphere of influence referred to as the Sith Worlds. I'm not sure if the Sith Worlds as a region was wiped from the databanks, but by the time of the Clone Wars one of those planets, Korriban, draws the interest of one of the conglomerates that form the CIS.
Where we are is far from the Republic, but within the relative backyard of Palpatine, Maul, and any Dark Side Adepts that have made their home there. Suppose the Last Elder wants to expand, the long term goal would be to reach all over the Sith Worlds, and see what happens from there. Controlling the Sith Worlds might mean squaring off with every Sith and Dark Jedi who might oppose us. The Jedi might join the fray as well as we'd be a warning sign of the Sith's return, whether or not Palpatine is ready for that kind of attention.
EDIT: I just remembered that we know of Ziost and Korriban, and can travel to those planets when we can do hyperspace.

While true, having a base/home system and building out from that is normally best yes?

Yep! You can move your base to a world that isn't actively hostile to sapient life and set yourself up there or stay on the Star Wars equivalent of Force Chernobyl. Having a centralized base would definitely make it easier on me if nothing else.
And we have a mother ship which we can use as a mobile base if we are doing any operations in a different theatre. Though @HelereTheAce will we have the ability to make alien alloys and Elerium and other resources from the XCOM franchise in the star wars universe? Since we are an elder we should know how they work and how they are made to some extent.
Though I think it would be a good idea to stick where we are as we can research on how the force works, how it affects psionics and maybe put the Jedi in terror. After all they are the ones that are responsible for the genocide of sith purebloods in the distant past on the KOTOR timeline, imagine that our hybrid versions of sith purebloods are active as spec ops, I can imagine that it would put panic on the Jedi as they would think that there are Sith pure bloods that, not only survived the genocide but also are much stronger with allied species they would be completely caught off guard and panic, especially if we reveal them after the Naboo crisis and incidentally throw in a wrench in Palpatine's plans since now there are pure sith bloods out there, and the Jedi would be on complete alert if we use the pure sith blood hybrids as spec ops forces around the galaxy. I can imagine memes if that were the case.
Plus we can have the mother ship that is with our MC be like the Avenger in XCOM 2 as a mobile base, while still keeping Dromund kaas as our central base for our forces, and to train new heroes. Though would we be able to create Faceless, the ones that can shapeshift into civilian and such, they would be perfect for a cover ops hybrid for long term infiltration and information gathering just by being a human in say any government. Star wars doesn't have anything close to the faceless clone/hybrid.

What type of ship do we have right now ?
We also have the Etherial version of FTL, which problably allows more exploraition since it does not need lanes
Maybe we can reverse and create our own hyperdrive combining with both Etherial and star wars hyperdrive
That would for sure be something that can be an advantage for us, as our own version will be much different from any version that the star ware has in it's disposal as only our forces are capable of using it to it's full potential. That is unless there is a character outside of our faction that is a psionic and not a force user that can use it, then we are pretty much set.
We would have to find out first if our psionic users can even use the force, or that they are two different powers that are of two different universes. Though it would be nice to have force users in our forces.
