1 Because that is the most recent example of force users fucking things up in the military when they have no place in it. I also never said shit about the new order being used to lead troops that was all you.
2. Blazing chain and Matukai are literal hard counters to Vong dude. More Matukai then the former because the Vong can only be affected by physical attacks all other forms of force techniques either are majorly nerfed or don't do anything. Matukai is all about physical boosts to the user making them far more deadly and perfect for dealing with the Vong.
Because that kind of "balance" isn't real dude. This is a guy that was desperate that means he is very unlikely to have the mental strength to actually control himself instead of falling into a feedback loop of the darkside. Also the Witches of Dathomir are not darkside users they use the force in a different way than the Jedi and the Sith. Only the Nightsisters use closer to the darkside and even then it isn't the same.

You brought them up as commanders, I responded to them as commanders.
You know what else is a hard counter? Throwing a rock at a few hundred kilometers per hour. Vong are more of a hard counter to Blazing Chain than the reverse because their armor resists blasters, unless the user is good enough to direct their shots precisely into the armor's gaps. Matukai, fair enough.
That is something to ask the QM about, because how the Force behaves varies a lot between different fan works and even official material.
Considering he still wants to instruct his potential students in the ways of the Light Side instead of viewing the Dark as stronger and better I have my doubts about that. I may be wrong and he's just lying but still hardly a sure thing.
Nokkra is a Nightsister. It said so in the first sentence of the interview.

Just found this quest. Looks very interesting.
Looks like there's not much interest in Vesha Dey. Shame. I'd love to see a aggressively diplomatic thrawn empire.

If I remember correctly, one of the blazing chains tricks is curving the trajectory of blaster bolts, so blazing chain snipers taking off the Vong commanders should be on the table.
Matukai can strengthen their force connection via movement meditation, ergo a bigger recruit pool.
Honestly, I know that I repeat myself like a broken record, but Jack really is the least dangerous of all three, and he brings more to the table in terms of things useful in conventional warfare.

I brought up the Sith and Jedi fucking up military operations because they are used as commanders when they had no place in that position. I said the order would be trained to work with the damn military I never said they would be leading anything. That was all you. As for the chucking a rock that won't work because the Vong are invisible and if you need to be close enough to see them for that kind of attack then it is too late. It also still requires that they be sensed in the force to aim the blast and rock at them without massive loss. But I am done with this.
I know she is a Nighsister and like I said the Nightsisters are not using the darkside the way a sith or fallen jedi does. They use different things.
Also one very big issue everyone voting for the droids is forgetting about. The Entire Galaxy hates Battledroids. Normal Droids are only hated slightly less. SO this action uses droids for war will have a major malus to relations. Not only are there several examples of why droid rights never work because the Droids always try to kill all organics but the most recent example of droids threw the galaxy into the largest war the galaxy has ever seen and will retain that title until the Vong invasion. A war that killed billions and displaced billions more.

Xuyul Kanuas I think is more useful in just the breadth of his knowledge on the force especially since Dark Nox had a lot of experience in dealing with force ghosts. Which will help massively in dealing with Palpatine and it will not need a miracle to make sure he stays dead this time. Also in the next 20 years I know of 3 sith lord ghosts that try to make a comeback in legends this isn't including Palpatine himself. So getting the best thing in the galaxy as an expert on the force to deal with force ghosts would help.

Guys I think you all underestimate the fact that the imperial propaganda machine has been at work for 2 decade's making it anything to do with battledroids means your nothing but a dirty sep and this only played on already present feelings due to the clone wars.
People hate battledroids and nothing we will do will change it anytime soon.

People have hated droids long before the Empire and the Clone Wars. The Empire made it worse but the Separatists and all the droids before have caused the majority of the hate.

Oh im aware of that I just wanted to point out the hate for droids is a lot more stronger now then it could of been before the clone wars.
So the thing to keep in mind about the standard battle-droid the CIS used?
The Gun was more expensive than the droid.
In return, what they got was actually a reasonably effective unit. Note that Tactical Droids were actually pretty good at their job. The issue of Droids in SW is that SW is as a whole uses bad doctrines for ground warfare. a good doctrine would have let the CIS absolutely wreck face. Just between the Megacorps and the Sith, the CIS wasnt inclined to actually develop good doctrine.

@Daemon Hunter How do you have the population, ship, soldier, etc. numbers in this quest? Since there's multiple ways of looking at them and different authors have had different fleet and army sizes for the galaxy, not to mention the fan interpretations
- Location

Galactic Population: 3E20
Inhabitted Systems: 3E9
Total Systems: 4E11
IS2 Class Ships: ~30k
Total Warships: ~500k
Civilian Ships: ~400 million
Soldier Count: ~1E13

I'm using exponential notation, so 3E20 is 3*10^20.

Good Lord! What do you put the Clone Wars at then? Because with these numbers suddenly the idea of quintillions of battle droids don't seem so crazy

Personally I envisioned the clone wars at around 40 billion clones with around 1E15 battle droids.

How much of the GAR was non-clones? Assuming you take the standard planetary defense forces out of the equation.

I figured the clones made up around 5% of the GAR's army. But the clones were used on essentially every mission of importance and for key areas.
One of the things that you'll be seeing is that only a few systems tend to matter during wars due to how expensive it is to build up planets quickly. Shipyards and industrial powerhouses are the worlds you need to take.

There is a reason that the Clone Wars was the biggest war in history until the Vong invasion. People tend to forget that we only ever see the important battles or ones that certain Jedi happened to be involved with.
To be honest, most of these 30k Planets are probably pretty sparsely populated.
Note everyone: 3 million units does not mean 3 million clones. Well, ok, it does in Traviss land. But Traviss is an idiot, so thats a given.
That said, your Imperal II count seems a bit high. It is unlikely they built more Imperial II in 2 years less timeframe. They only built 25k-26k Imperial 1s when they switched to Imperial IIs in 5 BBY. Its only been 9 years, when the Imperial I begin production with the empire itself. It make more sense if there was around 20k to 25k, with the total Imps being 40k to 50k between all variations and sub-variations.
