Grand Army of the Republic: A Star Wars Plan Quest

[-] Force Resistance
Having investigated possible leads for giving Force resistance to the clones, Doctor Desnos believes that she has an idea. While true resistance to the Force seems to be limited to Force users, it is possible to develop natural resistance to the mental effects of the Force and Doctor Desnos wishes to try giving that to the clones.

Once this is complete, should we try to investigate Force-resistant materials? Gear made from Taozin parts may be useful.

Awww, is this quest ending after the next plan?

I'm thinking of covering the Clone Wars and its aftermath, but will be more of an epilogue than a fourth plan. This quest was always going to end and I've decided that I've only got ideas for another plan of this. I don't feel like coming up with new stuff for any plans covering the Clone Wars.
 
Grinding down piracy by itself actually should take some of the wind out of the Separatist Movement. A large chunk of their support came from the fact that the Senate was acting as negligent landlords, the Core growing fat on the Rim's resources in a sweeping demonstration of colonialism while doing nothing to put out the brushfire issues that are part and parcel with the region. Those powers capable of handling their own affairs, like the corporations, had their hands legally tied to rub salt into the wound. That these polities often weren't working in good faith is irrelevant.

Should. Clearly there is going to be another inciting factor at some point but hell if I know what it would be. This will allow the concerned polities to gear up, though, meaning that they will have more than retrofitted Lucrehulks on day one. It buys us time but it also means there will be naught but cinders left when the war is through.

At this rate the Jedi might end up being irrelevant. They barely had enough masters and knights to act as generals before so that plan is probably scrapped three times over by now.

"Furthermore, special allowances are granted to various interstellar corporations under the Anti-Piracy Act so that they may protect their freighters and safeguard their trade lanes. While it is officially to acknowledge the lack of Judicial presence in the Outer Rim, it is commonly regarded as a concession to the corporations to gain enough votes to ensure that the vote passes."

Is Palps trying to spark a war against the underworld collectively or something?

Unless this is intended to provoke some sort of Hutt War, which I don't think it is, there's actually one big reason for this.

This is how Palpatine is prodding the Corpos to improve their military might.

He's giving them incentive to build up their fleet strength, get them field tested, and get some Commanders bloodied.

This has a lot of potential for changing up how the war goes, because we've had a tremendous focus on the ground game.

Here's hoping Project Big Ship works out well for us.

So aside from phase 12 clones should we actually do any further cloning operations? It takes four years before a clone is ready to fight and the start of the clone wars (going by canon) is three years away. The clone wars itself only lasted for 3 years so any more legions of clones will only be ready when the war is nearing its end.

The war goes on as long as Palpatine wants it to go on. From a day to a century, it doesn't matter. It simply needs to please him.

Even long after it accomplishes his goals, it only needs to please him. He will find or manufacture new enemies if necessary.

Depending on the butterflies, the war can go longer or shorter.

The War was designed to get as many Jedi killed as possible so Palpy wouldn't have to worry about opposition. Order 66 mainly happened when he realized he was finally caught. If he is caught early, it might be less effective, although the larger number of clones appearing might complicate matters.

At the very least, he knows of our clone productions since they were goals so he can make some estimates. The only thing we really did to mess his plans was make Order 66 useless. Otherwise, he has massive political support as Supreme Chancellor.

It doesn't help that he knows most of our contracts since it did lead to a hit in Sith approval whenever we opened a new company, that one Jedi investigation might have unexpected consequences later.

Funny enough, I could easily see Palpy using Jango as a scapegoat for building another Mandalorian Crusade just like the days of the Old Republic. At least before the Clone Wars if something goes wrong.

The real question is what we can do in the Clone Wars (although technically it is a singular war) to try not make the whole galaxy go to bantha crap and have Jango become enemy #1 throughout the galaxy.

There are two things I really want to see out of this quest Captain Fordo and the sith getting theirs when the chips they are banking on fail to make the clones turncoat against the jedi. :grin::drevil:

Fordo will only be an omake thing so pester your fellow players for that. As for the latter, that will be covered in the epilogue stage of the quest.

Not useless, but curtailed. It is still a perfectly functional order that would take down the Jedi, just not a genocidal one. If their Council fucked up to the same degree as in canon, performing what was unarguably an illegal coup with zero real backing, the Jedi would be rapidly disassembled as an organization.

Nobody would be spontaneously shot in the back of the head unless they screw up even more but, yeah, the Temple is under new ownership and Palpatine has all the hostages he would ever want.

Though it may actually take more time for such to possibly happen, since I am pretty sure the chips were designed so there would be no need to explain the situation, hence the message palps sending being only "Execute Order 66", which if I remember that bit right, and I may not it might lead to some confusion and research into what is going on.

Edit: Hell, they might NOT EVEN KNOW what the hell order 66 IS!

Eh. I would count the clones as some real backing for the Jedi or at least that would be the case with the clones from your army. Because if things play out as they did in canon, your clones would decide upon receiving Order 66 that they had no idea what is going on, but the Jedi cared for them and having been fighting and dying alongside them on the frontlines while the Senate is corrupt and done nothing for them so if the Jedi are launching a coup against the Senate, we know who we are siding with.

Which would lead to an awkward situation where the clones act in support of the Jedi coup that Palpatine is framing them for, but the Jedi themselves don't know what is going on. Meanwhile Palpatine would ensure the coup that he is pretending is happening actually ends up happening.

Edit:
Palpatine: The Jedi are launching a coup! You must kill them!
Clones: Welp, looks like we are doing a coup now, vode.
Jedi: Wait, who is doing what now?

Honestly, if the need to come up for a reason. It would be simple.

This is honestly one of those moments of stupendous fuckery that get immortalized in history books, because it's so off the wall that it has to be true.
