    Councilor Bastila Shan (Combat 4 Wisdom 4 Skill 3 Diplomacy 3 Vigilance 3 Vitality 3)

    Padawan Atris (Combat 6 Wisdom 5 Skill 2 Diplomacy 2 Vigilance 4 Vitality 3)

    Patrol Routes:

    [] The Core: To be honest, this is likely the safest part of the Galaxy. You'd be surprised if anything more threatening than a few gangsters show up here anytime soon, and not very threatening ones either. Still, whatever does happen here, the entire galaxy knows about it, so if you just want to fly the flag, so to speak, this would be a good place for it.
    ([] Assign Jedi to patrol, needs 4 Vigilance)

    [] The Mid-Rim: Wealthier than the Outer Rim, but without the commiserate military force, a surprising amount of Jedi patrols have always been focused here, being pirate bait and all. This is likely where combat, if it takes place, will take place. Sending some real muscle out here would be a wise plan.
    ([] Assign Jedi to patrol, needs 6 Vigilance)

    [] The Outer Rim: A sparsely populated collection of agri worlds, you don't see too much trouble coming here, if it weren't for the Mandalorians. On the other hand, this is likely to be where the majority of your apprentices come from for the time being, so perhaps those more in tune with the Force would be a wise plan.
    ([] Assign Jedi to patrol, needs 2 Vigilance)

    [] The Colonies: A wealthy, industrialized part of the Mid-Rim, they are a usually safe area, not often requiring much work. Though the current war may change that...
    ([] Assign Jedi to Patrol, needs 1 Vigilance)

    [] The Expansion Region: Part of the Galaxy brutally exploited by corporate interests, pushed to the brink by war, and left to die once it was no longer lucrative enough. Chaos rains as Sith-Imposed regimes fall apart. In many cases, the Jedi dispatched here will be the first, last, and only order on world. (Needs 6 Vigilance)

    • 23 jedi and 26 padawans to assign over 5 areas, with Expansion most likely being the hotbed of danger and activity.
     
    Well, we definitely need to send a beatstick brigade to the Expansion Region. If people want I can work up a proposal.

    And they are probably gonna need pretty much every stat over there as well, since it sounds like everything is on fire over there...

    Yeah. Currently I'm thinking the way I'd approach a plan would be to figure out what we need in the other patrol routes and then send everything leftover to the Expansion Region.
     
    Note to @Voikirium - The Status page could use an update on Jedi numbers.

    Phew, these are a lot of work:

    [X] Plan No Weak Spots, Expansion Region Focus
    -The Core: (Needs 4 Vigilance) Grandmaster Bao-Dur, 1 Jedi Sentinel, 1 Jedi Consular, 3 Padawans (C12, W13, S12, D14, V12, H13)
    -The Mid-Rim: (Needs 6 Vigilance) Councilor Juhani, 1 Jedi Guardian, 2 Jedi Sentinels, 4 Padawans (C18, W13, S13, D14, V13, H19)
    -The Outer Rim: (Needs 2 Vigilance) Councilor Mira, 1 Jedi Sentinel, 1 Jedi Consular, 3 Padawans (C9, W13, S12, D12, V14, H11)
    -The Colonies: (Needs 1 Vigilance) Councilor Atton Rand, 1 Jedi Sentinel, 1 Jedi Guardian, 3 Padawans (C13, W10, S11, D11, V11, H13)
    -The Expansion Region: (Needs 6 Vigilance) Councilor Visas Marr, Padawan Atris, 3 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 1 Jedi Consular, 7 Padawans (C33, W29, S27, D26, V30, H32)
    -Reserve: Councilor Bastila, 2 Jedi Guardians, 5 Padawans (C17, W13, S12, D14, V10, H16)

    Tbh I think we're at a point where I'm not too fussed about who's assigned where until some sort of actual substantial crisis erupts. I guess a competing vote would be to swap out someone with a similar skill-set for Bastilla in one of the more dangerous places since I consider her by far the most expendable of our KOTOR characters, but that seems limpwristed as a rival vote at best.

    She has Battle Meditation, and a unique connection to Revan that might be significant at some point.

    I put her in the reserve so that if our primary enclave is attacked she can guide the soldiers in defense. It's also nice to her from an RP perspective since she's raising a child.

    It's strictly from the perspective of I would care by far the least if she died or got Atton'd. :V

    It sounds like you don't like the character and want to get her killed, which I find strange. I like Bastila. In any case, that doesn't make her expendable.

    Nah, dislike is far too strong a word. It's more of I really like Atton and Mira and Visas and Mical and Brianna and Juhani and Bao-Dur and Atris as interesting characters to have around and interact. Bastilla, she's okay, but she's just not them to me. So if I had to pick one to be the expendable one to run into a minefield... well I'd pick the noname knights and padawans :V

    But after we get into the higher stratum, sorry Bastilla but you're the least painful arm I'd rather have shot off if it has to be someone. In a nutshell, it's not her it's everyone else.

    And yes, this is indeed very much a personal perspective, which is why I noted it would be a poor thing to centre a countervote around.
     
    [X] Plan No Weak Spots, Expansion Region Focus

    I recently replayed KOTOR and Bastilla is the worst. I won't send her on a suicide mission because of it though. She can watch the temple, raise her kid, and wait for a big fight that needs battle meditation

    As I said, I'm not advocating that. It was at best an off-the-cuff aside to illustrate my original point that there's not really much I'd meaningfully care to change to make an alternate vote option.

    For posterity, tho I doubt it matters:

    [X] Plan No Weak Spots, Expansion Region Focus
     
    She's the least interesting character, so if we let her fade into borderline-irrelevance and raise her kid while playing "Jedi Mom" to the reserves, I'm good with that.
     
    Bastila is very reserved and understated as a result of going through classical Jedi training, compared to the Jedi that the Exile trained without all the formality. I can understand how that might make her seem dull, especially early in her arc.

    She is an interesting character to me because firstly she provides a unique perspective as a result of that background, but even more because of how Revan challenges her emotional reserve and forces her to react in ways that get past all the training. Bastila has a subtle but profound character arc where she sees remarkable personal growth between the beginning and the conclusion.

    Bastila's tale is the story of a traditional Jedi evolving beyond the Order's teachings to find a more fully realized self that is more fully alive.

    I very much enjoyed it, and I enjoy her as a character as a result. I think she has great potential to be used as a foil for traditionalist conceptions of the Jedi.
