Once we figure out the chips and such...there will be less Clone Troopers, and more Mandalorians, I am thinking.

"Battle station? What battle station? That's a planetary mining station, not a battle station."
1) "I always enjoy assassinating assassins during assassinations. They look so confused."
2) The Silencer strikes again.
3) We possess the most valuable currency on Dathomir. The promise of quality time with Force Senstive Males.
4) Nute Gunray heard the words 'more credits' and fell head over heels running to see what was going on and how he could milk the situation for all it was worth.
5) Our shadow government grows.
6) Grievous has had enough of those zombies in his galaxy.
7) We found our missing Senator and a Dark Jedi Hutt who was fortunately more Hutt than Dark Jedi and thus was willing to work with the Council's business partner.
8) All the Sith trinkets.
9) Grandpa is feeling younger... and a bit taller.
10) Ciaran had to fit it in around the bullshit.
11) Cheriss and Var Zheen made a new body... with ZK-711 supervising the levels of explosions to ensure they where kept to a minimum of five.
12) You know that episode where Padme visits Mandalore? Jango got a bigger parade. Also Thrawn is now Mandalorian.
13) It took some convincing, but they couldn't say no when the bribe money turned up.

So who believes that we miraculously got Seti alive though an impressive jailbreak and he has some big evidence on Palpatine? Along with a sudden epiphany in fighter engineering gives us a slightly more advance fighter than should be possible in the timeline.

... Why is everyone so certain Thrawn is going to full on become Mandalorian? Thrawn admires their culture, certainly, but he admires learning about all cultures. There's a difference between wanting to learn about a different culture and wanting to full on join it.
If anything, all this was a means to an end. Making himself a better fighter while bringing Jango and Mandalore closer to our camp.

So something that was done on a few of the other questions I read are these Negaverse omakes which are structured as thread conversations for a hypothetical Quest in an alternate universe where we control another faction. I'm wonder if anyone would be willing to write one since I would love to see the reactions to this bullshit.

Kenobi Quest would give you more narrative suffering, but a Palp quest would just be page after page of 'Stars and Stones why do the dice hate us so bad?" Given the original prompt was 'reacting to Ciaran's insane dice rolls', Palp seemed more appropriate.

Don't forget a good amount of over confidence, underestimation and general "WTF just happened?"
The trouble in Palpy Quest is that Ciaran isn't that much of a threat compared to the other things that could go wrong. Not to mention you don't know the results of her rolls and if you do know the results you don't know it was her.
Oh and in Jedi Council Quest, the popular theory is that Ciaran is Snoke's apprentice.
It is less that Thrawn would become a Mandalorian and more that he might introduce some reforms that would make them work smarter than they did before. Especially if he gets Jango to accept his position as Mandalore.
I am imagining the badass Old Republic Mandalorians with some stability reforms that would make them one of the toughest factions in the galaxy. So tough, that they won't break apart like they did in canon without all out war.
Although is Malak still alive or is he actually dead this time? Don't recall what happened to him in this quest.
Really Palpatine Quest would be "We're one step closer to conquering the galaxy, but this one Miraluka keeps kicking our ass." Having a Padme Quest or Satine Quest would also be interesting. Satine Quest would probably initially be interested in courting Ciaran for their grand designs for the CNS before she began messing with her husbando. The Siri Tachi reveal would be a swerving shock of surprise that would fuel doubt and several intrigue actions.
Quests that have certainly ended at this point would be the Xizor Black Sun Quest, Coruscant Bureaucrat Quest, Ziro the Hutt Quest, and Star Wars Crime Lord quest.

I thought this was the Star Wars Crime Lord Quest? (Edit: Almost typed 'Star Wars Time Lord Quest'.)

I like to imagine that Ciaran tells Satine about the return of Mandalore personally...by bursting into a meeting or quiet moment of hers (bonus points if she can literally kick the door open) and say something to the effect of 'Hey Satine! Guess who I found!' and then holding up a live stream of Jango's triumphant return before immediately running off again.
Super bonus points if Obi-Wan is there too.

Nah, it's an alternate quest where an up and coming crime lord manages to claw their way to dominance in a different starting location. All goes according to plan, though without any major critical successes so that they can actively compete with other underworld factions, harassing the unknown to them Abyss Watchers. In a masterful set of rolls they manage to incapacitate the leader of said organization only for the quest to end in a series of failed rolls upon retaliation by the Abyss Watchers.

It would be nothing like that, seeing as we've taken no major visible action against him. In his eyes, we gone from "pawn" to "slight liability." If we were on the level you described, he would've done more then have Dooku make a halfhearted effort into maybe getting some assassins to go after us. As Asaij put it, if he knew how much we really knew he would've sicced an actual Sith on us.

Omake - CIARAN! *Shakes fist*
Obi-wan and Duchess Satine sat in the personal chambers of Satine. Both of them nervous and saying little as they both attempted to slowly connect with each other. It was sorta like a teenagers at prom doing the dreaded 'wall dance'.
Satine steeled herself with all the dignity her rank had and attempted to break the silence 'So how was the new years Master Obi-Wan?'
'Um, Very well. I spent it with the order drining water in toast for the new year.' He said in a quick and obvious deflecting way. Only to than prompt a question back so as not to go back to wall dancing silence 'How was yours?'.
Before the Duchess could say anything a chain saw was ripping it's way through the door. The two conversationalist stood up in surprise as Satine called for security and Obi-Wan readied his light saber. Buzzing the symbolic blue that it did.
The door fell down with bits and pieces providing a bed for what was left of the whole door. Ciaran walked in with a mega 48SPW chainsaw and dropped it nonchalantly on the door as she stepped forward from the hallway. Obi-Wan was not amused.
'What the hell is wrong with you?!' he screamed for the first time. This woman was mad!
'That's my line! You should have kissed her already you fool. If you can't shape up i'll find someone else for her.' Ciaran said as she flapped her hand dismissively. Satine turned cheek red and as they both were ready to voice their denials of anything but pure 'working relationship' Ciaran pulled out a visual data pad with a picture of a VERY famous person.
'Did you know the Mand' Lor is back in time! This is so amazing, Imagine what he can do for the guardian corps. I bet I can get his autograph while i'm on the field!' Ciaran said in her words falling out faster than pod race on it's first lap. She then turned away 'okay bye bye now! Make sure to use protection if you get tense in that 'working relationship!' she said knowing how uncomfortable the both of them were and how speechless they were about Jango.
Satine froze in place looking at the door way before looking back to Obi-Wan who without knowing copied her. They both had questions and neither had an inkling of an answer as Satine's guards ran inside.
