when i am looking at cold hard stats the other plan does seem to be better but well this plan sounds more in character ?

As a side note, what in the Force was the old Jedi Council thinking when they sent Padawans up against Malak? I didn't realize they hadn't even been knighted yet. I thought Bastila was a bit older than that. She came across as being in her 20s or 30s.

From what I recall, Bastilla was a bit older than Mission, whom was 15 or so. That means Bastilla had been maybe 18-19 or in her very early twenties. Now she's mid twenties most probably.

As for the mission on Malak, do you mean the final one against the Star Forge, or do you mean the assassination attempt on Revan?

By the war's end there were barely a hundred Jedi left, so the council sent who they could scrape up without too much suspicion.

Ahhh. I didn't realize things were that desperate at that point. They must have suffered something like 95%-99% casualties and defections in the war. It really puts things into perspective just how horrifying the whole thing was. That's something worse than war. I don't think there's even a word.

And yet they were still fighting. That really says something about the Jedi. Most military units break and run before they hit 20% casualties. But the Jedi who remained just kept holding on, even though toward the end virtually everyone they knew and cared about would have been dead. They didn't fall to despair or hatred, either, despite the profound senses of loss and fear that must have been closing in. They knew that the galaxy would fall to darkness if they did nothing, so they just refused to give up or give in no matter the cost. Even knowing they were hopelessly outmatched and would probably all die, they tried anyway. And their sacrifice saved the galaxy.

That's some next level heroism.

...you know, when there's time the Jedi who fell in the war deserve some sort of memorial. A statue, a stone of engraved names. Reliefs that tell the story of the war. Something to ensure they aren't forgotten, and to remind the Jedi of the ages to come that even when all seems lost the Light of the Order does not gutter and go out. That Jedi who stand shoulder to shoulder and never give in will find a way through any darkness.

Juhani is smoking some serious shit if she's comparing Revan to a gaggle of the first padawans we could get our mitts on.

    Mission 1 (Master Brianna, Master Juhani, and Knight Breda, 2 Padawans, The Core)
    -Councilor Brianna-

    The Supreme Chancellor has received a number of death threats recently. Most of them can be dismissed as some sort of perverse, ill-timed, ill-considered joke, resolvable by a visit from some very large, very angry men in the dead of the night. However, one has some merit-- it follows a pattern established by a mercenary working on Nar Shaddaa, for the Hutts. As a form of psychological warfare he sends questions-- riddles, really-- to the unfortunate target's manner of death, which he has, hitherto, always followed through on.

    Naturally, we are on the case.

    Mission 2 (Knight Kador Shirot, Master Atton Rand, Padawan Kozon Vahl, Padawan Sorda)
    -Master Atton Rand-

    A number of mining worlds have simply disappeared, seemingly into thin air, all of them eventually feeding into Balmorra. It's not just pirates, either-- they would have left behind, at least, the destroyed hulls of ships, the bodies burned, and most importantly, nearby systems would be being flooded with the stolen resources, instead of simply disappearing into thin air. The weirder part is that they all seem to be near Exe-

    Oh, no.

    Mission 3 (Grandmaster Bao-Dur, Master Bastila Shan, Padawan Qayon and Padawan Zez-Kyrido, The Mid-Rim)
    -Padawan Qayon-

    Czerka Corp's muscle, by and large, is the Exchange's muscle. You rip the legs off of one, you rip the legs off of another-- and that is exactly what we are going to do. We are going to fall on Czerka like the very fiery blade of justice, and reclaim much of the material they have ripped from the galaxy. It will resemble, of all things, Shan Mitsil's Long March through the Mandalorian state, taking everything not nailed down, and turning what we take to our own uses, even as we bring the war and all its ugliness down upon those who began it to begin with.
    --
    Mission 4 (Mira, Visas, and Padawan Ralec Varn, Outer Rim)
    -Councilor Mira-

    So we know that whatever Czerka's planning, it requires real estate and explorers, but not much else. The thing is, well, we can guess something else: whatever is happening is lurking outside of the known galaxy. It's not Sith, we know that much-- it doesn't have nearly that much weight in the Force-- but all of the star charts, and supply shipments, and explorer contracts which we know of all head towards a singular point in the unknown reaches.

    Well, clearly, the right move then is to head to that point ourselves.

    But first, we've got to steal a ship with Czerka's star charts.

    -Councilor Brianna-

    I've never been one for riddles, myself-- so, instead of cutting him off on that end, we decided to do something else.

    He always kidnaps his victims, as a sort of statement: "Not only will you die, but you will have last moments of pain, confusion, loss, and suffering." The sort of thing only someone who works for a hutt could consider acceptable conduct.

    So, we've mostly been working on not letting them kidnap her. Around the clock, Jedi protection from ourselves, the Padawans, the squad-- hell, even the investigators are turning up.

    So far, seven people have made attempts on the Supreme Chancellor while we were around. Not a one has succeeded yet! I expect eventually either this... "Game-Master"... will grow frustrated and make a lethal mistake, or Czerka will, and remove him.

    -    py, do you copy Republic Command?

    Oh thank the stars!

    Master, I swear I'm going to get us out of here.

    Please come quickly, Master Rand is bleeding out!

    -Padawan Qayon-

    We've been destroying, and looting, and pillaging everything from one Exchange Operation to the next. Where we can we've been returning what they stole to the rightful owners, and where that is unfeasible, we've been donating it to the less fortunate worlds we've come across. More importantly, we've read reports of a massive depot of Exchange goods on Naboo, of all places; we're going to go take that, as well.

    Mission 4 (Mira, Visas, and Padawan Ralec Varn, Outer Rim)
    -Councilor Mira-

    We've managed to steal a Czerka vessel-- honestly it was pretty boring, just a bunch of mindtricks on the right seedy bar and whoop, you've stole some mercenary's ship right out from between their fingers.

    We are currently heading towards the location that Czerka has been funneling so much effort towards-- according to all known charts there is nothing there, when I can pretty plainly see some of the effects of its gravity on nearby worlds-- subtly, sure, but present.

    Report back when we get there.

    -Councilor Brianna-

    I was right. He was an Arkanian, one of the albino skinned, nearly elfish in manner. Clad in green and of a less than joyous disposition, he attacked at the head of a mercenary army, apparently pushed on by his employers with threat of death. He managed to make it to the steps of the Senate building before we engaged in battle, but I found him a...less than effective foe.

    Mission 2 (Knight Kador Shirot)

    It was...

    it was Sith. Not true Sith, one of the left over maggots, writhing in the corpse of Revan's Empire, bought by Czerka. She has one ship to her name, The Zealous, one of the big Sith vessels from the start of the war. She broadcast some inane speech from the bridge, then opened fire on the capital-- the only reason the entire government wasn't destroyed was Atton's thinking-- somehow, he knew what was happening, and managed to rally together the Padawans to evacuate the First Family to a hide out-- and then that damn fool tried to keep up the evacuation by himself.

    For his efforts, he lost every limb, and took plenty of wounds to his torso as well-- it's a miracle he can breath under his own power.

    Speaking of Atton, she seemed to know him-- by which I mean she broadcast video from his time as a Sith Agent.

    I have some real questions for him, when he wakes up. But for now, I've managed to deflect all the press and others from him, not always gracefully.

    What do you mean, emergency call from Balmorra?

    Mission 4 (Mira, Visas, and Padawan Ralec Varn, Outer Rim)
    -Councilor Mira-

    We've found it, and it's pretty damn impressive. It's...well, it's a giant ring, with an at least Coruscant radius, bearing a false habitat and plenty of Czerka goons.

    More importantly, it's leaking all the telltale radiation and energy of a hyperdrive, and a big one at that. It's going somewhere.

    Naturally, we're about to go through.

    We'll send a report back when we can.
