Well, we are using the same type of droids as the CIS does, including a few stolen from the CIS, but with the upgrades they should be immune to any attempt to shut them off. But, the CIS army can still be shut off by Palpy at anytime.

All of these except for Maul are legit. Maul falls under intrigue.
Legit, though I think the Baran Do are already on there...
Sure.
Hmm...these are all legit, but given the sheer number of people and their varying levels of relevance to the birth of the Empire I might end up doing combined actions for some of the less relevant members.
Isard, Tarkin, Pestage, Sauro, and Screed would probably be their own actions since they're major players (and in Tarkin's case, there's enough personal reasons to go after him directly). COMPNOR would fall under a single action in general.
Ciaran has no reason to assume Exar Kun is a Force ghost yet. Like, that hasn't been established at all. Don't get ahead of yourself.
I think we talked about the whole diversification thing too and once again my question is "what exactly would that do?"
Aside from that the rest are legit, and again I think the Disciples are already on the list.
Galen's recruitment is going to be Intrigue. Remember that Krennic is watching him like a hawk, waiting for him to break and come back into the fold...
Reverse-engineering bacta might piss off your new "friends" on Thyferra. Just a warning.
The last one is possible, but it will be blindingly expensive.
Yes I know I'm not talking about the Vectivus body thing again. I will however point out that there is now a much more viable route than borderline pseudo-science for you people to take on it given recent events.
Duh.
Yep.
Kind of iffy on Nimban, Prakith, Woostri, and Orma (it doesn't seem like there's that much to be done base-wise, though Prakith is definitely going on the archaeology list). I'll have to think about whether Aliston Nor will need an action first.
Worth noting that the Yavin base (however that's flavored, it might be the station) would automatically come with archaeology teams. Because that's basically the main reason you'd go out there anyway.
These are fine, though once again the Watcher cap is staying static.
Legit.
The Ithorian Renewal would just be for vanity, FYI. And you've already got Vulture Droids as it is.
These are fine. The latter two are pretty interesting, too.
These are all fine, though the Nature Preserve would have all of the sub-upgrades folded into it as it is.
You've already got the Svivreni labs, so I don't know how this would be that different.
Legit.
Legit, though there wouldn't be any rolls for Fun things from the salvage teams there, FYI.
Sure.
Legit, though the first option would be more akin to the ecological program on Taris.
All these are fine, except for the "palace." Zinnerman could easily tell what it's really for (and more importantly it'd probably be built by leveling a few neighborhoods from the sound of it).
Naboo's already been pretty thoroughly "salvaged." By, uh, Ciaran.
Aside from that these are fine, though I'd love to see the faces of people who see "Water Exporting."
Ehhhhh...I'm not sure there's enough to make a profit off of salvage, honestly...
Sure.
Yep.
Uh huh.
Hm...yeah, it makes sense that the Chu'unthor is treated like a base given its nature. These would be fine though I'll have to consider the benefits for each.
I have the same objections to the salvage teams as before. Aside from that, legit.
Yep.
Hmm...name some of these "other planets" for archaeology purposes and I'll consider that one. Aside from that, legit.
Sure.
Hmm...these are okay, sure.
Legit. We'll see how we deal with said forbidden areas later.
...Pity though, Garik "Face" Loran hasn't been born yet. And to think, it would be the perfect setup for a cameo of some kind...ah well, this would still be so fun to write up.
Overt purpose, ever-so-slightly sinister undertones. It's perfect.
I think that covers everything.

You know each turn I think we are turning the corner on base upgrades and each turn we just have a tons more. This is going to be an interesting turn for sure.
Only if they find out. And I suspect we can easily hide the fact that we've reverse-engineered it until we no longer care how they feel about us. Just don't obviously sell more than we buy, and stockpile a bunch for our own use.
Wouldn't it be easier to find a nearby ice asteroid and drop it on Tatooine?
The main reason I added them, was because I'd really like the flavor text to change from 'they specialize in waiting for the proper time to act' to something that mentions they are masters of lightning...!
Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
I know 'Disciples of Twilight' are on the list of Force sects to contact, but I think @Barondoctor was hoping they'd be moved to the list of Force techniques we know about and are working to incorporate in our Abyss Agent training. (He had a 'canon' omake in which Riphath studied some of their techniques).
Fair. I guess I'm wondering if she'd still be curious enough about the 'dark side presence' the initial archaeology teams found on the planet, to decide to pay it a visit herself.
Fair, though I really want to start recruiting Nimbanel -- they'd probably be more useful than our Muun employees, which is staggering -- and Woostri is one of the biggest research centers in the galaxy. Still, the wiki is a bit thin on what else we could do on either planet, so I understand why bases might not be called for.
Also, when you posted I was in the middle of adding the following Base Purchase write-ins. Let us know if any of them work:
[] Pantolomin: tourist/resort world with luxury starshipwrights to invest in, and a massive entertainment-based space station that used to belong to a Tarisian corporation.
[] Mrlsst: homeworld of scholar/scientist specialist species, center for major under-funded university and scientific organizations to invest in
[] Nubia: they made R2-D2, as well as the cruiser Padme used as queen of Naboo. There are many corporations to invest in, the headquarters of the Intergalactic Gravball Federation, and a lot of other worthwhile planets in the same system and sector.

Good to know. Vanity is nice, but I'll remember the Oracle renewal isn't especially useful.
Svivreni work with rocks and minerals. I was imagining this upgrade as a separate lab that is able to handle unexpected explosions and such. Still, probably too much overlap, so safe to ignore this one.
Fair; we never really see the surface of Cato Neimoidia in any SW media, so no idea what (if anything) is down there.
Elsewhere in the Anoat sector:
- Gentes was the site of one of the biggest Sith Academies in the galaxy, pumping out 'marauders' and combat specialists
- Hoth was a major New Sith Wars battlefield, and is orbited by a massive exogorth-infested asteroid field (hence Empire Strikes Back)
- Mataou was a former Hutt throneworld (!) with a long-standing assassin's guild, a Hutt necropolis, and a number of artifact-rich palace ruins
EDIT: before I forget... thanks for your patience in looking over all of the write-ins this turn! I had been compiling them in my notes since last September, so it was kinda shocking to realize how long the list had gotten once I typed them all out. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Completely worth it
At this point he hasn't been in the fold. If I remember right if he isn't a prisoner, he is wasting his time with people that are giving him shit for not making more murder machines. As Krennic puts him into situation after situation where making military tech is looking better and better. Krennic can watch all he wants, at this point he doesn't have the authority, or connections to stop us from sweeping Galen right off his feet.
All we need to do is make him an honest offer for peaceful technology, and with our reputation no one would question that. Offer him everything he wants, hand picked minions, cutting edge labs, working with another scientist that is an expert in crystal technology...
@Dr. Snark, did you see @Habstab's other suggestions?
For Intrigue:
This one might also a Thrawn hero action (since Thrawn apparently knows Jorj Car'das from the Outbound Flight days) or a Ord Mantell base upgrade (since that's where Car'das is located)
For Learning:
The planet is Yabosta, and the birds are drethi. This might be a similar action as studying the Taozin or senflax
For Hero Actions:
Yes... sorry, two very close abriviations.
Though we do have our own army droids of the same makes and programing(other then loyalty designation). So he could shut down our droids with the same action.
One would hope we weren't stupid enough to leave authentication codes and shutdown commands the same.

Mm, missed those. First would just be base upgrade - man's interesting but not that important in the grand scheme of things.

After the death of Palpatine, the night before he was sworn in as Chancellor (Plagueis and Sidious had a fight which Sidious lost and so Sidious was killed). Bail Antilles [C, Alderaan] eventually got elected chancellor after four additional rounds of elections (other candidates in these elections included Ainlee Teem [R, Malastare], Onaconda Farr [R, Rodia], Com Fordox [C, Corellia]) which he eventually won by two votes.
Bail Antilles, however got very little done in office and was seen as a second Valorum, which led to a split within the Core Faction, which was his base of support. A significant portion of the Core Senators joined with the Rim Faction moderates and threw their support behind Mas Amedda (R, Champala)in the 28BBY elections. As while he may be an alien, but he was a known quantity and his backers believed he might actually get things done. The Rim Faction hardliners nominated Teem [R, Malastare] again, and he lost again due to the increasing perception that he's not just a loser, but also a puppet of organized crime. The Corellians nominated one of their own again-- mostly for attention.
The, one and only Sano Sauro [C, Eeropha] became Chancellor in 24BBY. He got the job mainly because nobody else wanted it-- Mas Amedda didn't run for a second term and went back to his comfortable Vice Chancellor position, Ainlee Teem would have run again if the Gran Protectorate hadn't forced him to retire and stop embarrassing them every four years, and Horace Vancil [R, Naboo] made a strong showing but his constituency was literally engaged in treason at the time. So Sauro got elected by just the barest majority possible, and has since done absolutely nothing in office thus far aside from being even more fabulously corrupt and get into fights with the Senate, the Jedi Order, and the central bureaucracy of the Republic. The Jedi Council is deeply concerned, as Sauro is famous for being extremely anti-Jedi.

"Extremely anti-Jedi" as in "unreasonably paranoid" or "average Star Wars fan?" I ask because there is a difference. See, the prejudice of the former generally has a reason, however exaggerated it might be, behind its existence and usually results in desire for the Jedi to be overseen more closely, or have their freedom restricted. The latter, on the other hand, often just wants all Jedi to be slaughtered for not being perfect. Preferably by another Sith "Edgelord" McAtrocity-kun.
I'm curious as to how much anti-Jedi is "extremely anti-Jedi."

Mostly the first option, as he didn't trust the Jedi and was part of groups within the Senate that wanted to heavily restrict the Jedi Order. However, he also was a good friend and Mentor of Granta Omega (one of Obi-Wan perennial enemies) and would later become a member of Palpatine's inner circle in Star Wars Canon.

The small problem is not only Krennic has him under surveillance, but so do COMPOR and Republic Intelligence, since his stubborn pacifist tendencies and failed request for the Republic not to attack the prison when they exchanged him, made them believe that he might have developed Seperatist sympathies.
Currently Galen and his family are barred from leaving Coruscant, for they can't afford for a genius mind like Galen's to run off and join the CNS... he might actually get the funding for his dream project of unlimited energy for all. Not to mention that main obstacle is that Galen still considers Krennic to be his best friend as Krennic has stood up for him in the past when his own shyness prevented it.
Speaking of which we need to be careful, if there's one thing Galen really doesn't like it's being a the centre of attention.
You mean...
lancelot
Completely worth it
Him being a pacifist makes the CNS interest in him more believable, and with the third option that is 'obviously' neutral makes Seperatist sympathies much less likely. You have to keep in mind how canon has changed, and if Ciaran makes the offer herself I'm pretty sure Galen and his wife would be star struck by her rep and charisma.
Yes, it's not so much that the recruitment will be difficult, but it's getting him out the Republic. The official reason for keeping him on Coruscant is for security reasons and that they need to question him about his imprisonment and over Zerpen Industries, who is war profiteering from both sides.
The actual reason is that Galen is essentially the Star Wars equivalent of Albert Einstein and you'd be mad to let him walk away with his abilities. So the Republic is trying to pressure him by constantly dragging him in for interrogation to make him crack.
And if we didn't already have Krennic and Isard involved, Tarkin managed to get involved by pulling some strings with the Justice Department to drop their case against Galen after meeting him. So we have three powerful figures to dodge when recruiting Galen.
lancelot
Completely worth it
At least two of those we plan to deal with personally, and hey if we can out them as traitors, that will quickly take the heat off the Jedi which would be a bonus.
We can't take them out yet... well not that we can't, but I'm sure we'd like to spend our Intrigue Actions elsewhere. This isn't going to be so much a simple recruitment, Galen is highly resistant to any of his work being weaponised and we need to find a way to hide that from him. Not to mention we're going to have to get Galen and his family slip the net of surveillance and get them off Coruscant.

Some more suggestions I've had since the last time:
Now then, onto my next action suggestion:
Martial:
[] With the strength of a Rancor: Clone Commander Colt leads the Rancor Battalion, a clone battalion that is stationed at Kamino. While they haven't seen much combat, they did participate in the battle of Kamino. Why not go and send some "assistance" in the form of mercenary "trainers" that, in actuality, would help to slowly remove the biochips from Rancor Battalion. And, this should make any future mission to Kamino easier.
-Could also be a Intrigue action. Also, I'm not sure Colt is the commander at the moment. He could be dead. I don't know.
[] The fiercest of fighters: The Galactic Marines are the most fearsome group of clones in the Republic army. Their commander Alpo is know for reassigning any trooper that doesn't fit his strict requirements. They also have a few prototype spacepowerstuits(essentially a combination of power armour and a space suit) that had their weapon systems malfunction, forcing the troopers wearing them to engage in hand to hand combat. We could always try to lend a hand, removing their biochips, and stealing a few of their spacepowerstuits. (Could be an Intrigue action)
-While having the Galactic Marines as a anti-palpatine resource would just be WONDERFUL, I'm more interested in stealing some of that space power armour. It allowed them to engage B2S in hand to hand! Just think of what we could do with that!
Diplomacy:
[] Visions of the future: That Wookie, Chewbacca... He was in the vision featuring Luke, Leia, and Vader, right? Then, it might be a good idea to try and recruit him, or, at least, keep a closer eye on him.
-Eh, just want to see what will happen if we try to do this.
Hero actions:
Thrawn:
[] Heart of a Warrior: The videos from the Foundry are just golden! But, Thrawn did say that he did expect a lot of casualties, but was completely surprised by what happened with less than 5% "casualties". Perhaps we should let him go over the videos of the raid and see where his prediction of the casualty number went wrong and see if we can replicate this kind of success later. The fact that he can also edit the videos together into a propaganda gold mine is just a plus!
Silencer:
[] The sound of Silence: There are a lot of rival Criminal Empire's in the Galaxy, why not send the Silencer to deal with them for you?
-Basically, we send the Silencer to attack a rival Criminal Empire and see what damage he can cause. Hopefully, it's tons.
Grievous:
[] The Scourge Strikes again: Grievous is already know as the scourge of the Underworld, why not send him back down to help with cleaning out Coruscant's Underworld?
-Basically, just send Grievous back down to Coruscant's Underworld and let him loose to attack any gang or organization down there.
These seem good to you guys?
... Actually, yes we do, in Elite Squadron. Sure, we don't get to see more than one location on Cato Neimodia, but we do see the surface of it.
