That's well spotted about the Colonies being a weak spot. I missed that; I saw the Senators being targeted and thought Core. If people don't object I'm willing to amend my plan. The only difference I'd go with is defending in the Colonies instead of investigating.

I object. With our current manpower we still failed 2 of our events. With that same manpower being spread even thinner, gaining that patrol route just means we're going to be failing more often. So what if we can cover that spot? If we can't actually succeed the events there, we gain no benefits from actually having that patrol route.

Okay but as I noted before, we don't actually know if we failed because of being spread too thin, or just a pair of dud rolls. Plus it's not unlikely we'll be gaining new padawans soon.

Especially with how the previous quarter had all three events succeed, then we gained two Knights and eight Padawans and failed at two, arguably one, of the three. Before that, the prior six missions had only one fail. Either we were unlucky, Czerka missions just jumped significantly in difficulty, or recruitment is actually hurting us. The third is preposterous and the second doesn't have enough proof yet.

We're not overwhelmed, and the Colonies is genuinely important to the war effort. It's only not worth it personally if Jedi start dying or if we start failing more than the extra four missions we've gained, accounting for the fails we've had so far. Even that depends on the rate of Engagement the Colonies would give us and how vital they actually are to Czerka's operations.

    -From now until the end of this farce, your Jedi are going to be traveling everywhere with a retinue, like some ancient prince of a primitive world. A whole squad of soldiers, volunteered from the Echani, and a small team of private detectives, drawn from Corellia, will be heading everywhere with them, to offer them much needed support in these times. A little less glory, perhaps, but much safer for all involved.

    The Republic volunteers an expert architect from Ord Mantell and Balmorra for this request of yours, and both strike on the same idea, seeing as it would sort of ruin the atmosphere of the temples to have mine fields laying about everywhere:

    Hidden bunkers. Everywhere.

    Stuck in the library? Hidden bunker.

    Meditating in the Hanging Gardens? Hidden bunker.

    Working on your swoop bike? Hidden bunker.

    It would take weeks to burn through them all, you think.

    (Dantooine: +3, Telos: +12)

    Admittedly, when not in use, the most help they can be is glorified storage rooms-- which, to be fair, Telos still sort of needed, but Dantooine is developed enough that you don't need more storage.

    At all.

    But, when you are attacked? They should be quite helpful.

The Republic would be very happy if you helped beef up their defenses, even if you only send a Padawan or two to help out. (Gain Colonies Patrol) (+30 PP)

    You have agreed to help bulk up the Colonies on a permanent basis, insomuch as you can, in fact, do so.

    Now on the one hand, this does make the brass pretty happy-- things got surprisingly grizzly over there.

    But on the other hand, you do have one, slight, problem.

    Namely, just about everybody who can be deployed...has been deployed.

    Everybody.

    So you'll be shuffling up some of the patrol routes.

    Atton has presented a plan, as has Juhani, but at the end of the day, this is your call, as Grandmaster:

    [] The Atton Strategy: Atton, Kador, and their Padawans will be deployed to the Colonies, to bolster the defenses there. (C8 W7 S8 D7 V9 V7)
    [] The Juhani Deployment: Revan, Bastila, Juhani, they were all Padawans when they stood against Malak, if only rank. Can your padawans do no less? You will deploy them, and prove themselves. (C9 W9 S9 D9 V9 V9)
    [] Your Plan: You have a different plan. (Write-in Patrols)

    (Consider, however, how those stats come about)

    Uh, one other thing, I did not consider the positioning of Research Post. I'm thinking I will have it after these next mission reports, if that's alright with everyone?

    • Padawan route means that if something goes wrong, it'll probably kill or seriously harm of of them.

    Playing devil's advocate though, it'll make room for more Padawans faster than babying them. Either by pushing them to grow faster and become Knights or taking them out so that the Master now may take an apprentice.
     
    ... can I sue Juhani for jacking my plan? I make this decision spitefully.

    Atton's deployment winds up looking like this:

    The Core: Breda (C4 W2 S1 D3 V1 H3), Bao-Dur (C6, W3, S4, D5 V2), 2 Padawans
    Total = (Combat 12+1, Wisdom 7, Skill 7+1, Diplomacy 10, Vigilance 5)
    The Colonies: Kador (C2 W2 S3 D2 V3 H2), Atton Rand (C4, W3, S3, D3, V4), 2 Padawans
    Total = Combat 8+1, Wisdom 7, Skill 8+1, Vigilance 9
    The Mid-Rim: Brianna (C6, W4, S1, D4, V1), Juhani (C6, W3, S1, D3, V2) Bastilla (C4, W4, S3, D3, V3), 3 Padawans
    Total = (Combat 19+1, Wisdom 14, Skill 8+1, Diplomacy 13, Vigilance 9)
    The Outer Rim: Visas (C5, W3, S3, D1, V4), Mira (C3, W4, S4, D3, V4), 2 Padawans
    Total = (Combat 10+1, Wisdom 9, Skill 9+1, Diplomacy 6, Vigilance 10)

    It's good enough, I think.

    Also, uh. I edited in the write-in option, just in case anybody is dissatisfied with the two other options.

    Counter point. Padawan's dying wastes time and pushes back the time on getting more Knights and therefore, a higher capacity of total Padawan's. Trial by fire works great... assuming the people you're throwing into the fire aren't all totally green, which these Padawan's (sans Bao-Dur's) are.

    Given the colonies are getting particularly mauled, I don't think throwing in the padawans at the deep end is the best course of action on this one.

    Yeah, let's save the trial by fire method for when we actually have enough Jedi around that we can afford to be picky.
